My first webcomic too. Been reading it since about episode 250. Actually, though, I never joined the forum until a friend (IM, Chatroom freak) told me to log on. strangely, I told him 'bout 8bt.

Year ago my friend told me about this comic. Since it ussually takes me a while to start new things he bombarded me with quotes every day from the comic. After two weeks I started reading it and downed the archive in two days.
Funny enough, from here I have started reading about 9 different web comics, but oh well.

Hmm... 8-Bit Theater, the Gateway Webcomic...

Gateway indeed...
 

8-bit was my first web comic as well. I was directed here by a small frame in Electronic Gaming Monthly depicting BM and WM. That was something like 4 years ago. At any rate, it was before he had reached 100 comics. I think it was somewhere around the "Survivor 8-bit Style" comics, but I'm not for sure.

I heard about it a lot on BnG and see several references scattered around the net, so I came to see what it was all about.
I'm glad I did.

I first found 8 bit theater from a link at the Planet Zebeth website.

I remember seeing it on a guild on another forum, just the first two episodes. Theyre awesome^^

I'll never forget my first contact with 8-bit. I was browsing through another forum and I came across an interesting signature. It read:

"Well, you know what they say: 'The corpse you find may be your own.'"
"They do not say that."
"Well it is hard to speak with six inches of knife sticking out of your face. Mostly they just gurgle....And bleed...."

I laughed myself into a stupor when I read that, and became intrigued by this "8-bit theatre". But having been chained to dial-up internet, I didn't have the initiative with seek it out. Fortunately, one of my best friends soon discovered it on his own, and he later introduced me. I've been hooked since the first episode. ^_^

I was first shown it through a friend of mine. One day he's like, "You really should read 8-Bit Theater." I didn't at first, but they kept referencing it and eventually I checked it out. I then spent hours a day for a week reading the first 100 and 60-some comics on my dial up connection. After reading 20 a day and getting caught up I've been an avid reader ever since and that was 3 years ago. So HUZZAHH!!! to Brian.

I guess the intelligent and sarcastic point of view from Brian's labyrinth-like mind, is probably what inspired me to start comicking in the first place. He manages to transform pixels into practically real-life people with sub-human qualities.
