What drew you to 8-Bit Theatre?

A few years ago a couple of college friends first told me about 8-bit. Our D&D sessions were peppered with "Welcome to Corneria!" - "I like swords!" and "Your GP or your HP." I kept meaning to get on line and check it out, but somehow I never got around to it.

A couple of weeks ago (it now being about 2 - 3 years later) my nephew was telling me about another webcomic that he reads (I think it's called Order of the Stick). As he described it to me, I suddenly remembered the comic my friends had described to me years previous.

"Hey, I like swords too," I thought. So I sat down and Googled 8-bit Theater (how I remembered the name of a webcomic I'd never read after not thinking of it for a few years is a mystery beyond my meager comprehension but I'm sure glad I did) and read the entire run (it was up to Episode 706) in two days.

Now I'm slightly loopy (from the massive 8-bit download directly into my only-human conciousness) but also permanently addicted.
