I just found out my website from ten years ago still exists.

This includes my Sluggy Freelance fansite.   :ohshi~:

You have no idea how glad I was when Prodigy finally took down Sonic '97.

I'm sure we could all fill a 50 page thread sharing the tales of our own personal web abominations from the early days. I was involved in not one, but two Pokemon websites and a general videogaming fansite. My first homepage had a crappy .gif of Keroppi. And the roleplaying... oh god the roleplaying.

I had a geocity page dedicated to the glory of Warhammer 40k or something.

I just realized that the biggest reason I keep up with 8-bit Theater is because I want to see Sarda die. Guy's a dick. A dick among dicks. A king of dicks, ruler of a kingdom of dicks on a planet of dicks in a galaxy of dicks.

It'll probably never happen though, on account of all the omnipotence. I had hoped supercharged Black Mage would be equal to the task, but yeah, no.

He IS a dick, but I'm not entirely sure I can begrudge him for it.  Plus, look who he's dealing with.

Of course, all sympathy may flee in the light of his true intentions...

If you're reading 8-Bit Theater in the hope that anything different from the last what 1000 comics happens, I think you may be wasting your time.

It feels like it's winding down, though, like something's gonna happen. I mean, something has to happen, all that's left is Chaos. It's not like he can take it further than that.

...can he?

It's definitely winding down.  He's already soliciting for an artist to help him with a new webcomic.

The current page so much as tells you that you're wasting your time if you expect any sort of climactic finish, though.

Still think it should have ended with Fighter waking up.

So Family Man is a webcomic about a small-time 18th-century German theological scholar. Over a hundred pages in and I still can't quite tell where it's going, but I like it a lot.

Double post. They say that if you go out to the edge of a forest on a still moonless summer midnight and listen as hard as you can, you might be able to hear the sound of me caring.

I was recently introduced to Shi Long Pang, which is delightful.

A hero is about to deliver a deadly blow to one of Xykon's crew but is stopped by a previously unmentioned trap, take a drink.

I know this is intended to display Xykon as some sort of Batman-like strategy savant but mostly it feels like a DM desperately backpedaling to not have his dangerous NPC killed.

"You can't do that! He... uh... set traps on this room that attack everyone that casts magic! but him! and his lackeys!"

The eternal dillemma of the NPC antagonist having secrets or secret plans.

The best compromise is to offer INCREDIBLY faint hints. Hints so faint that they are basically useless, but something you can point to later and say "See?". But even that's hard to pull off.

Last I checked, Xykon is not a ponderous wizard, he's an attention-span-challenged sorcerer. Why would he even sit at an invaded city for like a dozen years stumps me to no end.

I was reviewing the Erfworld archive, and fun thing: The Arkenpliers actually fall within inches of Wanda's hand at one point. The next panel has her moving her hand towards it, apparently trying to get up.

Then Ansom gets it back and she plays it like nothing of note was happening. That's stone cold.

On the other hand, the entire V arc is a colossal hand-wave that has moved the plot faster in 20 strips than actual story-telling has moved it in 200.

I still lurved it, of course. It's up there with "Belkar can kill shit again!" with giving the audience a sense of "Thank God, now all the sensible people can stop delaying the plot." Violence advances things thrice as fast and elegantly as diplomacy: OoTS is so authentically DnD that it's heart-warming.

Now.. that captured paladin being IMMEDIATELY double cock-blocked on Xykon's phylactery is horseshit. Xykon's lookin' a little DMPC.
