8-Bit Theater gets screwed
http://stc.aftervision.com/Screw.php?screw=87
I have to point out, though, they usually at least mention popularity. I think that would've changed their score somewhat. |

I've never even heard of this thing before. Why the hell should we care what their score is?

I'm a little disappointed with that review. They seem to have a problem with reading. It makes me highly suspicious of their view on the medium over all. Oh, and the review format irritates the hell out of me, but thats really not relevant. They seem to have a problem with Brian being an edited Megaman...even though he almost never appears, and when it does its for a gag and not for anything story relevant. They also seem to assume that Large Cast == r0x0r s70r)(. (thats excellent story for those who don't speak 1337). Again, I am suspicious.

Heh, it was funny, and merciless, although I was expecting them to wait a little more to screw 8 bit.

Making it happen.

I wouldn't pay it much heed. Given the general behaviour of... well, everyone who was "reviewing" it, it was clearly something meant either as a joke, or simply not to be taken lightly.

Heh, it made me laugh. Like Neko TS quoted from the site, they do this stuff to entertain. Read it with South Park in mind. EvilNes has Cartman's voice written all over him.

Is it just me, or does it seem like these people only read the first few comics, and claimed to read up to the very latest? I mean, a lot of their complaints fit with the earlier comics, but not at all with the later ones.
I mean, early on, its true that the comic mostly depended on just poses available from the original FF1-3j games. Nowadays, there's at least 20+ extra poses, and Brian has access to a whole bunch of sprite characters that most people haven't seen. The low image quality complaint only really applies to the first 25-30 comics & after that, things start to really improve. Backgrounds in addition have come a long way since there comic's early conception. The plot dragged a lot in the early comics, I'll agree. But after the first year & a half, I'd complain that the plot is moving too fast. All the rest of their complaints seem to focus on their distaste for reading and/or having long periods of character development. SWK

Someone needs to tell them that all of thier gags are really really old.
Also, as someone above said, thier formatting is annoying, and thier reviews are poorly weighted. I'm not saying any of this to defend 8BT (which they gave a fairly high score to). I'm saying this because thier site sucks.

I'm pretty sure that it's meant as a joke, either that or the reviewers are very young.
