What drew you to 8-Bit Theatre? - Page 46

It was 2:30 in the morning, and I decided to read the entire archive, which I did...over two days...after watching all the flash movies on NG and saving them to my computer.

Reading 300 issues in one night.

When I woke up in the hospital, constantly referring to everyone else by their class, I knew I had found something special.

Oh man, I can't begin to tell you how happy I was when I discovered 8-Bit. It was about 4 years ago now, and I've been hooked ever since. I still remember reading through myriads of comics while I was supposed to be taking calls (internet tech support). I still remember the awkward silences when I couldn't hold back laughing and couldn't reach my mute button in time. Ahh, the memories.

I initially got excited because of the very idea of a webcomic about FF Classic, and then got hooked very quickly because of Brian's comedic genius.

I first saw a strip a couple years ago but the bastard who showed it me (he had printed it off) said that it was on the internet but he did it and wasn't gonna gimme the URL.

I found it the next day after typing "Cool FF comic thing" on google

A friend told me about it. Ruining the Armoire of Invincibilty joke in the process.

Two years later, I'm trying to read about eleven different webcomics. They're like an addiction that can only be fed by more Tim Buckley, R.K. Milhorand (Or however the hell you spell his name), Chris Hazelton, and Lucas Daniel.

I can't remember exactly, but I think I saw somebody quote it, got intrigued, and Googled it.

@Byrd. The archives on a flash drive? Just curious, but how big is the file all together?

I found 8BT by clicking on a link from http://elflife.com/ a long time ago. It might have been around 2001-ish... This has been my favorite webcomic since. I clicked on the link because I saw a little picture of BM doing a hadoken with the 8BT name in the blast. I remember that moment exactly. It took me four days to catch up with the archives. I had dial-up back then... Man, I had to actually stop and take a ten minute break from the hilariousness. Too much 8BT at the same time is bad for your health from the amount of laughter.

Heh. It was months ago.. On the Forums of Subeta.org.. Always had been a fan of webcomics, and I fell instatnly in love with Black Mage. After about the first dozen or so strips I thought, "Oohh, so Black Mage is evil!" And I 'member when I foud out that Fighter was a moron..

I saw some flashes on the web and became interested.

You know, actually reading this whole thread would be an olympian feat. I bet there's like five funny posts in it. And the information presented? I doubt it's useful to anyone at this stage.

Just putting it out there.
