What drew you to 8-Bit Theatre? - Page 47

I blame the internet for why i'm here.

Well I first saw a friend (read: dude who sat next to me in the comp lab) reading it in school and asked him what it was... his replay if I remember correctly was "WTF U Don't KNOW 8BIT? STFU NUUB!!"

well being highly confused... and after reading a page over his shoulder... I got hooked!

After reading for a couple of years... I discovered the forums...

I can recall the exact strip that I started reading 8-Bit Theatre at. Strip 188. It was August 25th, 2002... A sunday, according to the date on the comic.

I've been reading it religiously ever since. It's kindof become a staple of my e-life, much like certain forums I frequent.

Actually, considering it now, that's 4+ years of following the comic. I wonder how many others can claim that.

Oh, and I found it through an article in Game Informer, touting it as a hilarious webcomic.

I was shown it by a friend like... 3 years ago? I can't remember... Maybe 4 years ago now... I've been around daily since then though... Just never bothered joining the forum until last night... ^^;

>.>; Yeah... Black Mage is my Anti-Hero ^^ Yay for evil that is saving the world!

I found out about it through mates laughing about evil pie. After seeing it for myself, i was hooked. I am only human after all

I was recommended it by someone on gamefaqs 313 board and decided to read it awakening an obsession with Brian Clevingers comedic mind

It was a couple or three years ago, but I still remember. I was very, very bored. I was trying to find something on these United Tubes of Internets that could keep me entertained. I've been a Final Fantasy fan since the first game, and was tooling around with Yahoo searches, looking for amusing Final-Fantasy related nonsense. I'd not heard of webcomics yet. 8-Bit Theater has been my gateway drug into the world of webcomics. ... Damn you Clevenger! Damn you and your incessant humorous retelling of my favorite game from my childhood! When will you release your iron grip on my very soul?

Also, squirrels.

I've known of 8-Bit Theater a lot longer than I've been reading it. Long while back, I stumbled across it but, for whatever reason, didn't stick around long enough to read any. Then, several months ago, I came back to the site and started reading. I read every single episode from first to last in the sum total of about a week. It wouldn't have taken me that long, but I had employment and educational duties, you know.

I absolutely love it. I was (and occasionally still am) somewhat depressed that I can't read through several new episodes without having to wait. I'm an avid reader and, web comic or not, I place 8-Bit up there with the best of 'em, near, if not on, par with Lamb by Christopher Moore, which is quite possibly one of my favourite books of all time.

Worth mentioning that I read all the 'news' that came along with each episode as well. :P

Alexeon · 10-09-2006, 10:50 PM

So do I. The news crack me up as much as the comic does.
