After a truely excellent weekend I must now return to the mundanity of my job. Worse yet they have me doing the worst of all mundane jobs... the interrupt checklist. This is where I take said Cell Phone Game and attempt to call, text, close the clamshell, and all known ways of screwing with the game that I can possibly do. I must do this for every screen in the game. Boooriiiiing!!!
I usually can break up the monotony by looking at different web comics. The ones that work best are the epic story ones but I've read through my favorite one many times and I do not want to spoil myself of it. Anyway, here is a list of my favorite web comics:
1. Goblins: Life Through Thier Eyes.
This one is my all time favorite! The story is such an intense tale of what it is like to be a goblin in a D&D realm where all people want to do is kill you for XP. Sounds silly, and they do make D&D references throughout but it's more a comment on racism and what makes someone noble and what makes them a villian. Are you a good guy just because you're human? Starts goofy with childish humor and black and white panels, then goes to color and dives deep into story.

2. Order of the Stick
A stick figure comic based off of D&D that for the most part has some actually laugh out loud jokes as well as compelling story. For the most part people are drawn to the comic by the comedy and complain when there is a lot of story.
3. Erfworld
From the same person as OOTS it is a story of a regular guy who plays miniatures and gets sucked into a world where the miniatures battles are all real. Interesting story though not so hot on the comedy but still worth checking out.

4. Looking For Group
Loosely based on World of Warcraft but goes way apart from there. Fun characters that make this comic one of my regulars.

5. Ctrl+Alt+Del
Video game web comic about two guys living together and playing video games. Not a lot on the story but a lot of fun sometimes as the author will reference different popular video games.

So, there is my top 5 webisode comics. For the most part people seem to feel that if it's a comic on the web it should be outrageously funny but I seem to have fallen in love with the deep meaningful stories. |
