Hi, I'm new, not only to the forum but to the comic as well.
I found 8-bit when I was looking for a webcomic to waste some time on. I started to read the first one and a few episodes later I was hooked. After a while I found the archive link and realized there were over 900 episodes! So I spent a few days reading them all and now I can't wait for the next ones.
I know the comic is based on a game but to be honest I haven't played many computergames and have probably never even seen the one this is based on. Still I find it very entertaining and that's what I think is so great about 8-bit. That and the fact that even with kinda limited facial expression and body-language the emotions in the comic still shines through. I admire that. Also the concept with 4 incompetent people that are supposed to save the world is very amusing.
So to make a long story short (to late?) I like 8-bit and will keep reading it.
