Ah well.

1225 is an even better number. It's the result of multiplying five SQUARED and seven SQUARED. Concidering the maker of the game... Yeah, subtle, I know. :D

My only disappointment echoes the poster that said it would've been good to have wrapped up what the whole deal was with Swordpolis, Darko the Dark Guy, etc.

They all got fed up avataring for their respective Light Warriors and quit. Swordopolis quit, Darko quit, and Megahedron never made any progress to begin with.

I think that's what's meant by "cop out". Although I wouldn't use that phrase... the whole thread for potholes and loose ends seems a little ignored if all of this is, well, ignored. The story seems to be pretty much over, and apparently one more will finish it. But there is a bit more i'd like to see i guess. Questions, potential for more jokes.

I guess there's a question if 8-bit overall is telling a complete saga-like story, or if it's a joke laden webcomic.

I got hoping it was a saga, but it's a funny comic, it does that, we all laugh, enjoyed it, and it's coming closed. I'd like to see more, I know many of us would, but I don't think that'd change Brian's mind.

I guess all we can do is show Brian that we'd like to see some of the other character's have some sort of conclusion instead of being one off jokes. Maybe he'll hand us a few more comics, even if they are brief.

Mostly I just think "cop out" seems to (somewhat unfairly) imply there's something Brian explicitly promised he'd definitely do in the comic but didn't, as opposed to something you yourself were expecting Brian to do that he didn't.

To be fair making you expect things that never end up happening is one of 8BT's trademarks, but I maintain after the first four times or so it's your fault alone if you fall for it.

This comic was very enjoyable and my thursdays and tuesdays are going to feel very, VERY empty without it. I think I started reading this maybe back in High School and I've graduated Uni now.

But hey, maybe this means more Warbot in Accounting, Right Brian, right?



..right?

HisshouBuraiken 03-30-2010 02:54 PM

It does still feel a little unfinished, I think one more page is called for. Having the final page not even include the LWs doesn't seem right somehow.

That's completely up to Zack.

I'm gonna go ahead and call that he's waiting for the final strip to end on April Fool's Day.

Why? So that after ALL the "The End!" April Fool's jokes, the comic will have finally, truly ended on April 1st.

That is my prediction. I imagine someone else has called that by now, but I haven't personally seen the post.

Martyr 03-31-2010 11:44 AM

I didn't know we were so close to the end.

I guess all my predictions and predilections and whatever were wrong.

1 more?

I hope we just get a panel with bm throwing wm's clothes out of a tent or something.
