What drew you to 8-Bit Theatre? - Page 43

Elbodo · 06-25-2006, 04:08 AM

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.

hmmmm let see.

ok so my friend told me about newgrounds.com and i went there once everyweek for about 7 months. then i looked up ff paradies. and the first parody was 8-bit theater. and the author gave all his credit to brian. and on his 2nd episode he posted the website to nuklearpower.com and i wanted to know wut happened next after the two fisted monkey style. and voila i ended up here. although i just found out about the forum 4 days ago.

Same here guss us sepiroth-jenova-spawn clones think alike!

I remember finding out about it from a friend.

I've been playing all of the Final Fantasy games since I got my first Nintendo as a 5-year old. I've been playing the FF RPG's since then and to be honest, reading this comic just reminds me of how rediculous, yet true the original game was. The way each character is portrayed, it reminds me the pros and cons of each character in the game. And the added storyline is just simply comical!

Good job, Brian. You're the first I've seen to actually take something that most gamers remember, and turn it into something even moreso enjoyable.

I was just playing on newgrounds.com and found 8-bit theater. The fourth movie flash thingy had a link to this place and... well... it's based on like one of my favorite games ever... EVER!
and it was EXTREMELY funny so i kept reading.

I found this webcomic after my first encounter with ff1 via the remake on the gba. i was searchin for ideas to help my self narroration of the game more funny by scanning through the FF parodies in newgrounds when i found the chocobo robo voice done by Legendary frog. in the preloader (since im still stuck on dialup) the 8-bit sprites did a skit, and i then researched the 8 bit source, and tada, found the site.

I was drawn here by my friend who wouldn't shut up until I started reading.

AHHH to think back to the dark ages shortly before i read 8BT. i was a GINOURMUS zelda fan. still am but i had never really played any FFs mainly because I just dont like the playstation. any way i heard a man on newgrounds name joseph blanchette (sp?) AKA Legendary frog created something called the return of ganondorf with showcased the evil one doing the chicken dance thus i HAD to see it. later on i veiwed his other hilarious shorts. I then looked at omething that read chocobo remix. I having no idea what a chococbo was i clicked on it. and that was a preloadr that changed my life. i started reading it but not often and i eventually forgot about it. then late one night i was bored so i tried to remember that comic tht brought me great joy. alas i couldnt remeber to spell nuklear with a k and also forgot where i first heard if from. then a year or so later i returned t legendary frog to see some new stuff and watched the chocobo remix and it all came flooding back. but i couldnt remember where i left off so i quit again. but then at the begining of this summer i read from ep 001 to 709 several times introuduced 2 friends to it saved the archives to a flash drive and joined the fourums. this has now become part of my daily routine.
THANKS BRIAN!!!
