Haven't done this in a while.

i really haven't bothered to do the lil webcomic review post at the end of the week have i? was just trying to enjoy my vacations, and then work kicked in, and my boss actually wanted everyone, except himself, to work the entire weekend (for free too). i fucking made an excuse not to, but the dude's unreasonably insane.

Anyway:

  • After it's hiatus, Nerf Now started a new arc about the Engi update valve did a while back, and basically how it seemed to make medics obsolete. On the current last page, the blue medic beleives he's useless and goes emo, and the red heavy, isnt getting any help from her medic, so switches team and goes try to cheer up the medic.
i find Nerf Now is delightful in the sense that, No words are used, anyone anywhere can "read" the comics and get it, tells simple stories, but often not predictable.

  • Menage a 3 is still doing the same arc i mentioned last time, and since last time, full nude Gary is still unconcious in bed, while half nude Zii and Didi were watching some horror movie when the lights went out, and they totally freaked out. Being girls, they went to the safety of the only man in the house, which is Gary, nude and unconcious, in bed. So... in the current strip We have a nude guy, with 2 half nude girls around him in bed. I would have never thought of a way to write characters into that situation, i'm fucking jealous. XD
Manage a 3 really gets my atention cause i have a lot of female characters, and i can never think or write them into hot situations with my main character, but this comic does that really well, in a funny way, and although it sounds a lil exagerated, it's still belivable and in character. When i try that, it's just not in character at all and sounds too much of a setup.

I kinda can guess what will happen when Gary wakes up, i feel a lil bad for him already.

  • Penny arcade made this comic, which i guess, is funny, sorta.
Ok the comic is "meh", but what is worth mentioning is the game they talk about in the strip, it's crayon physics and really, take a look at that video. it's just really impressive. This 2nd trailer showcases even more of the game, and man it can get really complex at times. I admire whatever engine is running this, the physics and the ability to create objects is amazing. I really wanna give it a go.

  • VGcats did this comic maybe a couple of weeks ago, pretty damn funny for a Xmas comic, i actually laughed at it. And they posted this comic today just a while ago, which is not meant to b funny, he says so on the frontpage, but just meant to b enjoyable.
The 2nd comic may make people go "wtf...", but it feels kinda artsy, it's pretty dark, but even comics that go for humor don't have to b funny ALL the time. Myself, although i have mixed feeling about it, i do think it's ok as a comic.

  • "San: the 3 kingdoms comic" is just great... If you played dynasty warriors, even if just once, this comic will b fucking hilarious to you.
