A friend of mine told me about 8 bit theater back in early 2004, and I've been hooked ever since.

a friend told me about it when we were discussing another rpg-webcomic, saying i would like this one too

I'd heard a lot about it, mostly hearing people saying that this or that sprite comic/animation reminded them of 8-Bit Theater. Given the name, I at first thought it was a series of flash cartoons. One day curiousity just got the better of me and I typed "8-bit theater" into a search engine.

Ooooh.. lotsa noobs to the forum, but not to the comic, I suppose. I guess I'm not the only one. As if that wasn't obvious.
A friend told me about it a year or so ago, and I went to it 2 months later. I spent like.. 3 days non-stop reading until the latest comic.

I was introduced to it by a few friends of mine, and took my time at work (which would probably be otherwise spent staring blankly at the monitor) to read through the comic.

I quickly became attached and brought other friends along for the ride.

It's hysterical.

One day, I was chatting on AIM and I told a friend I was extremely bored. He then posted a link, "http://www.nuklearpower.com" and said to read this. And so I did. It quickly became my favourite webcomic. I always looked forward to reading it on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. And I continued to read it for more than 2 years now.

I'm fairly new to Nuklear Power. While I had seen links to the animated comics on Newgrounds, I never watched them as I am not a Final Fantasy fan, and thought they would be full of FF inside jokes. I eventually became bored with the movies, and decided to see the actual comics.

While webcomics have always interested me, I found this one was somehow different. The use of 8-bit sprites in conjunction with well done photoshop tricks make for a winning art combination. The obviously overexaggerated use of RPG stereotypes make for hilarious situations.

I think the comics also appeal to so many due to the variety of jokes. On the one hand we have well thought out jokes with elaborate punchlines, such as Black Mage's refusal to fight Chaos as an idea, and the recent gray Thief joke, while on the other hand we have Black Mage's stabbity antics and constant attempts to hit on White Mage.

I apologize that this has become a "why I love 8-bit theater" post, but it wasn't just finding this site that matters, its what made me stay.
