lol, pathetic. I thought that the gag was absolutely hilarous. I couldn't care less if BB ends up being homosexual; ever seen Mallrats or Chasing Amy? Grade A stuff. Deal with it, quit bitching. It was just a paranoia joke, and Brian can capitalize on it all he wants.
It doesn't look to me like Black Belt is supposed to be gay. It looks more like he's being paranoid about White Mage thinking he was because he touched a monster's... shall we say "private area" :D
And it's funny you should mention Mallrats and Chasing Amy, ThaJinx. As soon as I finished reading 95, I thought, "Hey, that reminds me of a Kevin Smith movie and the way he parodies the stupidity of homophobia with Jay and Silent Bob... but mostly Jay." :D
And even if Black Belt is gay, it doesn't matter. Anyone who's ever read Warren Ellis's or Mark Millar's work on The Authority should know that. Midnighter is my god.
Er, but back to something on this topic... Calm down, guys. After all, you know Dr. Unne liked it :D
Yes anyway.
Now i think of it, Black belt being gay is kinda funny, haha he will probably try to molester Black mage and thief.
And he is dumb. :D
Haha, experience and experience points...
But fighter's dumber!!Quote:
And he is dumb.
I think Red Mage is gonna DIE!! At least I hope so...
Has anyone checked back on episode 95? Brian's put a note at the bottom:
Doesn't this basically say that Brian's either a) read this thread, or b) read some of the e-mails some of us will have no doubt sent him?Quote:
if this comic offended you, then it's because of what you are putting into it. calm down and move on.
I've looked carefully at episode 95, and I reckon Brian is only making BB out to be paranoid.
Dumb enough to be gay? That makes absolutely no sense.
When it comes to Black belt being gay, pointing out krackens nads is very....GAY.
And contradicted? how do you kno that Fighter isnt gay, its only black mage wich has indulged in a bit of female so far, and Fighter seems to like "swords" an awfull lot :P.
And a big thank you to brian for making ff1's worst charictor gay, yes a big thank you indeed, I knew there was somthing worse than black belt being simply crap :D
When do you think we'll next see Garland and "Evil" Princess Sara?
1.) I'm this far away from shooting myself in the head, with all this damned constant finger pointing and arguing. Am I understood?
2.) I'm deleting all the moronic arguing. This is a thread for 8-Bit Theater, not your childish bickering.
3.) WordBearer, you are banned for what you sent to Mikaga. Good bye.
4.) You'd been warned. 3+ times, if I'm not mistaken. One more insult and more people get banned.
5.) If someone sends you an offensive PM, or offends you in some way, for the love of God, PM an admin/moderator and don't spam up threads with it.
[edit] There. Done. That wasn't fun. Try to act your age from now on, everyone, and not like squalling toddlers.
Wow. I think I'm glad I missed whatever went down with WordBearer and company :).
But, back on topic...
I love the whole Garland and Princess Sara thing. I can't wait to see what happens when our Light Warriors have to fight him... or her. :D
They won't fight Princess Sara. As far as I can tell, she's probably going to trick Garland and escape. Remember the episode when she said she'd help? She thought "Sucker!" in the last picture of that.
Yeah,. they're definitley (I can't spell) not gonna fight Sara. As for Garland, he'll probably just lie down and cower in a corner.
All the Light Warriors have to do is recruit the Forest imps to help!
So, the newly-recruited Imps and the Light Warriors arrive at the Temple of Fiends. The Imps start shattering windows with sticks and stones. Garland hears the ruckus and rushes outside to see... that he has to fight the Light Warriors AND his arch-rivals, the nightmare-inducing Forest Imps!
He promptly suffers his 19th nervous breakdown, Sara kicks him in the nads while he's down (just for good measure), and good triumphs over evil!
I've got it all figured out; just you wait and see! :tongue:
spoiler alert us before saying stuff like that, that actually is sick enough to come true :whoa:
It would be funny if that were the case.
LinusJ: Speculation doesn't fall under the realm of spoilers.
This is a little off topic, but:
What makes speech damaging? Why is it damaging.
I'm just wondering Raistlin, don't ban me.
*leaves all the bickering to others and waits for the next Episode*
*waits for the next Fighter Comics*
The last comic wasn't very funny, darn. I think he's in a slump, personally.
What makes speech damaging? I guess some would say when it makes another feel bad. Personally, I think it's "damaging" when it causes two people to be at odds, without accomplishing any real purpose. For instance, I don't think it's damaging when I tell my thieving friend not to steal, and he gets mad at me for doing so, because he likes stealing.
I wonder what level of a thief Thief is. Must be high, his move silently and pickpocket skills are off the charts.
And I wonder how much money he has in his overseas bank account...
The previous ones were funnier but I still found episode 95 funny. Or maybe I'm soaked in too much mundanity in my life that I'll just laugh at any funny thing. So maybe he's in a slump so maybe that can also means that things will get better later.
BTW, 96 is out... :D
Maybe it (96) wasn't supposed to be funny. Or rather, maybe it was supposed to be a more narrow band of funny.
For instance, I thought it was funny that Thief and Red Mage would get into some weird metaphysical debate about the nature of Experience where Red Mage understands Experience the way it works in RPGs and Thief understood it the way real people do. But my roommate thought it was absolutely hilarious! He's taken quite a few philosophy courses so that whole "Kant" thing really hit home with him.
Then again, he is a Philosophy major after all. You really can't trust them :D.
Wait, does this mean that Brian himself is a Philosophy major? Does anyone know? It sure would explain why he likes to do freaky comics every now and then.
I'd have to say this one (97) is one of the better ones in a while. Go read it before I say this.
BM: You pushed Red Mage.
TH: They'll be upon us any moment. Hurry!
BM: Onto Fighter's sword.
FI: Which is weird, 'cause it started out sheathed.
Well, no more going to town. White Mage just needs to heal Red Mage up, and off they all go to see Garland!
One thing I think he should do now that he's gotten the whole cast together, is just have them decide to ignore the 4 member party rule and just have all six of them on the team from now on. He probably won't, but I think he should. Oh well.
I'd like to see Black Belt kick all their asses in alphabetical order. Not that he wants to touch their asses, just kick them.
So, in order... Black Mage, Fighter, Red Mage, Thief. With a little help from White Mage, it could be done :tongue:
Also, I've discovered a little plot hole: the whole team rested in the Inn before they set out, right? That means they held in RESET before turning POWER off, and also that they recovered all their HP and MP.
SO, why didn't BM just use his plethora of attack spells (which we KNOW he has: he's nuked forests and zapped old men before) to fry the weapon-resistant Werewolves? I can't imagine BM passing up the chance to kill something and show off at the same time
Black Mage: You guys are pathetic. Watch this! LIT2!
123 Dmg! Terminated!
Fighter: Pretty sparkles!
Thief: Hiding in trees and oblivious
Red Mage (thinking to self): I knew I should have put more points into my INT stat!
He wanted actually to hadoken those green werewolves, but Red Mage stopped him. For some reason. Which is beyond any mere lvl. 20 Elf-Mage's understanding.
I don't. For starters, it scraps one thing that glues FF1 and 8BT together. For seconds, it means that each character plays less of a role. It wouldn't work, trust me.Quote:

Oh MAN, Ep.097 was hilarious! If you didn't like that one, you shouldn't be reading 8-bit.
BM:Well, that's not EXACTLY what I meant, but those tree-huggin' hippy BASTARDS are about 5 minutes from it, I'll tell you that.
Th:I'll have you know--
BB:I'm not gay!
I agree with Mikada/Mikado/Mikoga/Mikiga/Milkwaulkie. Having four main characters, I think, is a pretty good balance between a good variety of characters without having so many that you don't get to see any one of them very much.
The whole Fighter and Black Mage thing in the beginning was fun, but I really think it would've gotten boring without the addition of one or two main characters.
They should've gone with White Mage though. It's just a better team in the game! :D
But then again, Black Mage hates Red Mage almost as much as he hates Fighter... and Thief... probably everyone else on the planet. So maybe that was for the best after all :D
(Edited for the sake of Fun With Nomenclature!)
Can't anyone (Exception: Kishi) spell my name right?
Anyway, I also think that it's best they keep White Mage a separate character, otherwise the whole Black Mage/White Mage thing would wear weak very quickly.
*Reads 97 and sighs*
Ugh... and it was such a good comic.
*sighs again*
And it still is :P
OMG, this thread is still open? It's crazy. No matter how long I leave eoff, I can always count on my massive thread still existing.
Crazy world, this.
Frankly, I've been dissappointed these last few months. It really angers me how the author has thrown away his well crafted and thinking characters for cheap sitcom stereotypes. Seriously, look at the fighter. True, he's never been all that smart, but back in the beginning he was only a little slow. The things he said were funny. Now...? He acts like he has a mental deficiency.
All black mage does now is beat up on his comrades verbally. What happened to the good old days of hunting down old men?
The comic is losing my love. True, that doesn't mean much, but it's still a fact.
I think Dr Unne would like it if they would have scrapped the Red Mage and let the White mage follow, it's his favourite party :)
But anyway the BM+WM thing is already gotten old, and fighter has gotten too dumb, he was smarter before, right now he is a retard, before he was only slow.
Character evolution, what a horrible thing. Frankly, what use would a non-stupid Fighter have? Better this way. The other Three Wise Men are enough.
Really. I bet Fighter only acted smarter because someone else wasn't around to say his lines(Like in The Great Black Mage Hype). Thief has actually developed, before he sounded like a used car salesman, but now with his dream and the latest comic(Ep.097), he seems to have gotten much more personality. BM hasn't really changed much, all he's doing is for himself, except I think he hates Fighter more.(How has he changed from when he beat up that old man, though?)
Even RM has more character then when he was first introduced--he's goes strictly by RPG logic.:D
WM hasn't changed at all.
BB is, from what I've seen, paranoid and wants to fight alot.
Fighter's always that stupid. He only ever becomes intelligent when he's talking about swords. Just because he hasn't been talking about swords recently doesn't mean he's any more stupid. I agree with Disco too, there's more intelligent people to say more intelligent lines now.
Thief in 97 was seeming to take responsible action (!) by saying things like "Quick! Hide in the trees!" -this has changed him from the point where he was robbing red mage.
BB rocks, as usual. Quite intelligent, sure, maybe paranoid, but otherwise clever - and willing to pick fights. That rocks.
WM we haven't really seen that much of compared to say BM, Thief, Red Mage or Fighter. It's hard to say how she's changed when we've only seen 3 episodes of her since the inn.
Red Mage sounds as twink as ever, although the "if I use cure I become less efficient" was completely stupid.
I don't know why BM is actually sticking with the party. Sure, he's been legally signed up to do so, but if White Mage isn't in the party, I see no reason (from his point of view) not to fry Fighter, Thief and RM on the spot.
I wanna see more Garland :)
Yes, that's true. In that dream-episode, I wouldn't have thought it was Fighter.
The newest comic (thanks giving special) was kinda fun. Especially what they were thankfull for.
Yeah, the thanksgiving comic was awesome. I like it when fighter says "Swordknives work even better than it sonds."
So cliche.... but funny.
:D Can't wait for the next comic.... :DQuote:
"Swordknives work even better than it sounds."
Good thing they only come at 2-day intervals, which is good.Quote:
Can't wait for the next comic....
The weekend wait is always the worst :)
"Dancing like a monkey," hm? Looks like someone is a fan of Invader Zim.
and, of course, "I'll stab you good in the face!" It's such a weird phrase, i love it. :D
Who was BM trying to stab anyway? I didn't understand that bit. He wouldn't stab WM cuz, well, you know... He wouldn't have said that to RM cuz he's more or less dead now. Fighter wasn't around, Nor was Thief... And BB was completely forgotten in that episode.
So who was he talking to? And why was WM trying to get him to "step back" anyway?
He WAS talking to RM, as he wouldn't answer before.
WM had her "White Mages Oath" so she had to heal RM.Quote:
So who was he talking to? And why was WM trying to get him to "step back" anyway?
looks like i havent posted here saying that i love 8 bit theater
i love it
anyone else than me who thinks that vivi shouldve been replced with Black Mage? that'd make ff9 to r0x0r
The countdown begins...if we ever actually GET to Ep099...geez...
If Epi099 is printed on Thursday, we'll have to wait 5 days until Epi100. Won't be so bad though, my birthday's on the Monday so I'm expecting 100 to be a nice present :D
Guess what? It WAS made today! But what I don't get is why BM says ouch at the end and why he's on the tree. I'm just stoopid.
White Mage whacked BM with her hammer a couple of episodes ago, and the rest of the party is just now finding him.
Anyway, about the Fighter's Journal: I have but one thing to say:
http://www.somethingawful.com
Jeff K.
Without the spelling.
That was the funniest comic I've seen in awhile. The last panel made it even 10x better.
I got a definite Jeff K. vibe from the original Fighter Comics, but I didn't see it in Fighter's Journal entry. There were hardly any spelling mistakes, no pointless insults, no weird and misdirected anger, none of that Jeff K. stuff.Quote:
Jeff K. Without the spelling.
It was actually kind of sweet :) Especially the part about being best friends with Black Mage (OK, sweet but maybe kinda pathetic too).
But that's just me.
Yeah, the "BM is my best friend" part was a nice return to the original Fighter.
That's what makes Fighter funny. He's not exactly dumb. He's DENSE. No matter what BM would do, he will always think of BM as his best friend. :)Quote:

I wonder if Fighter will ever actually get to make Swordchucks?
heh, maybe they'll be stolen from some enemy that kills himself by chopping off his own head...
Where the heck has BB been in the last couple of comics? He's just disappered with no reason to explain why.
I don't know about you guys but I liked it better before all these weird side-things, like Fighter's journal or whatever. I wish they'd get on with the plot. It was much better in the beginning, just walking through the woods getting killed by an Ogre. Those were the days... *sigh*
(EDIT: To avoid making another off-topic post, yes I left, then I came back, I'm not an Admin any more, and everyone who's been here for 8 months or longer gets a custom rank.)
Didn't you leave EoFF? Or was that just the admin? But how do you still have "Shoeshine Boy" under your name? Isn't that an admin-only thing?
Anyway, I agree, that we should keep on with the plot, but interesting different things keep it entertaining, and make it last longer in whole.
I think it's hilarious. I'm glad I ran into the site over the summer, since it really helped with my boredom.
Fighter is cool, yo!

Members are given custom ranks on two conditions:
1.) They've been around for 8 months or more.
2.) They've been appointed to Staff.
I agree, it would be nice if they'd finally get to Garland.
BTW, how do you get the custom rank thing? I'm pretty sure I've been around for longer than 8 months.
Garland nothing, I won't be satisfied until I see how Brian plays Dr. Unne. That ought to be amusing.
Kishi's got a good point. Dr. Unne would be a funny character to see on 8BT.
Me? I'm waiting for the fiends, or the Leifins:
Lu...pa?
I like swords.
Lu...pa?
I like swords.
Lu...pa?
I like swords.
Lu...pa?
I like swords.
Haha, I strongly urge everyone to DL BM vs. RM on 8-Bit. It's INGENIUS!
Well, #103 seems to have finally cleared up any question of White Mage's and Black Belt's basic roles in the story. That's a relief.
I never imagined WM to be a party to that kind of a plan. All along I thought she was a goody-goody. Nice streak of sneakiness there... :p
"It was only a bee!"
"Not no mo' it aint!"
~Best dialogue in the entire episode.:D
My favorite wuote ever was the one about slling iceboxes to eskimops and "I'm going to stab you so much"
"Will you please move the sun?"
I don't know why exactly, the but the whole Fighter and Family Circus thing is perfect :D
And it looks like Brian's finally getting them to Garland. So that's, what, 10 minutes of gameplay in over 100 comics? I just hope he lives long enough to write the story up to the class changes!
Lol, I can imagine class changes...
BM: You mean I now have the power to destroy entire PLANES???
RM: I didn't think it was possible to be any more munchy...
THF: Oooh, the capture command. I can now steal and attack.
Ftr: I like swords.
Those accursed light warriors are no doubt on their way here to rescue the fair--yet very evil--princess Sara.
She has been hard at work in the library lately. She said my bad guy speeach was no good so she's working on a new one for me.
I don't know what was so bad about it.
Ahem: "I am Garland. Would you like some fresh baked cookies?"
Where can this 8-bit theathre be found? :mog:
Here is a link:
www.nuklearpower.com/comic
I think his original dialogue was bad enough,
"No one touches my princess!!
LIGHT WARRIORS??
You impertinent fools.
I, Garland, will knock you all down!!"
That as bad, if not worse, than "Would you like some fresh baked cookies?"
And "You impertinent fools" is not a complete sentance, there shouldn't be a period at the end of it.
Dammit Fighter! Stop thinking about Family Circus!!!
That was classic
"Free pie.
The pie is also evil."
Classic.
Yup. I was wondering how Princess Sara would lure BM inside. I never knew pies could be evil. :DQuote:
Originally posted by Dr. Disco

Free Sword. Free Experience. Free Gold. Free Evil Pies. Evil Princess Sara is pretty good at this. I'm sure the Light Warriors can take Garland, but I think Evil Princess Sara is going to prove to be far to great a threat. Unless White Mage and Black Belt bail them out.
Evil Princess Sara probably should have just said, Free Evil and left the pie part out entirely. WOuld have worked right away knowing Black Mage.
Well I just read like the first 6-7 I Think it is absolutely hilarious. Very funny indeed.
So close to episode including Garland and light warriors meet...
Has anyone else read the latest (108) yet? That one has got to be in the top three 8-Bit's of all time! :D
Yes, it was great!
Episode 108 was hilarious! :D
It managed to get two funny moments into each frame. Garland being teached how to be evil, and BM stabbing and Hadooking Fighter.
The whole "Dungeon Cam" sequence was just classic 8-bit. Good Stuff. I'm sorely tempted to donate some moola to ole' Brian to keep this thing up and running. Hey, it never hurts to give, right?
I dunno. The whole "Evil Princess Sara" bit deviates a little too much from FFI's plot for me to like, as does the fact that the Light Warriors that entertain us so aren't even the real Light Warriors.
Umm... 8-bit isn't suppossed to be the plot of FF1. It started out as just BM and Fighter in a forest, personally I think that was the best part.
With the kids becoming Light Warriors and going to defeat Garland, it's quite obvious that Brian is making an effort to follow FFI's plot. I don't think he's doing so well, that's all.
I think you're taking it too literally. I read somewhere, or maybe it was that interview he did a while back, that Brian called it "8-Bit Theater" so that it wouldn't have an Final Fantasy title because he didn't really think of it as a Final Fantasy comic. It's just a comic that happens to use the Final Fantasy sprites because he found them one day.
and, to quote Brian from his very own FAQ...
Q: is it going to follow the original final fantasy storyline, and if so to what degree?
A: i think it's going to take place in basically the same kind of world as FF1 itself. and it will follow the storyline, insofar as there is one ("good guys, go beat the bad guy!"), but you'll only see the original story as being way in the background.
Red Mage: Did you see that?!
Black Mage: Garland is so hideously evil that he can afford to be nice to us before he kills us!
Fighter: He must be so powerful that not even the shiniest swords could save us now!
And Evil Princess Sara was worried that he would screw up. Sometimes I have to wonder, who is more incompitent, Garland or our heroes?
Heheeheee.. that was what I liked with Ep109. The two incompetent "groups" meeting for the first time. I used to wonder what Garland would have said to our heroes when they would first meet. I thought he would just welcome them in. :) Instead he offers them cookies and drinks. Now I'm wondering how Evil Princess Sara is going to destroy our heroes.Quote:

I think that Garland will refuse to let her harm them... she'll have to kill them behind his back ^-^
"Not even the shiniest sword could save us now!"
Ahh, yes, always good for a chuckle.
"We're as good as dead."
I wonder if RM will botch his intelligence roll this time. Heheheheheheehee..... :D
Well, I suppose Red Mage's plan could be worse. Thouhg it wouldn't hurt him to actually join in the fighting, either with his own sword, or magic. Still, while that plan may get them past Garland, they'll still have Evil Princess Sara to deal with.
Does this mean they won't kill off Garland? Yay! Garland's funny.
I just read episode 112. I found myself going, "Oh no, poor Garland... " :D I wonder if BM is really going to fry him.
But you're forgetting the wall spell casted in the room...
But, this time Black Mage isn't aiming at the wall, he's aiming at Garland. So unless Evil Princess Sara thought to cast a wall spell on him, Garland is toast.
Edit: I was wrong, Garland is not toast. But not because of the wall spell. Its probably for the best that Black Mage can only cast that spell once a day. Otherwise God only knows what his daily body count would be.
In terms of presentation, I think #115 has been the best yet, especially in the last few panels. Talk about anticipation...
It took me a couple of days to get through all of the episodes, but I just finished #115. I have to say that I love 8-bit theatre. Can't wait to see Garland with the little Forest Imps. :)
KEEHEEHEE!!
The new BB shirt is sweet.
Oh sweet baby Jesus, Garland's poster was the funniest thing that has ever been on 8-Bit theatre...EVER.
Gee, I wonder what the imps' speech is going to be like!
I can't wait to read the next episode. I'm anticipating the imps' speech and what Evil Princess Sara will do to Garland after or during the reading of the speech. :D
And that poster of Garland's was just too hilarious!
I bet the speech will be the "I, Garland, will knock you down!" bit. Or something even more humiliating.:D
I just finished reading ep117. At least Garland had the sense to not read it aloud. :D Those imps are really out to get him! I wonder what he'll end up saying to our heroes in the next episode.
I certainly hope so.Quote:

Sorry to disappoint you guys but that wasn't what was in the speech. Ep117 wasn't that funny but I want to see what happens now in Ep118 with Garland left with nothing to read. :D
I've got two words for you: Impish McImp. Comedy gold. :DQuote:
Ep117 wasn't that funny
I know that it wasn't in the Imp-script. I was hoping that he, lacking any script at all now, would say it on his own.Quote:

Heh heh! Classic. *melts*
Yup. That's probably the only line Garland has. Wonder what happened to WM and BB?
Actually, Garland has a whole lot of exposition before the final battle.
WM and BB will probably eventually show up to save the other four.
I wonder if they'll even get away from that vat of acid. I'm getting seasick looking at all those upside down sprites :D
Knowing 8BT nowadays I can tell you that they'll get out of it cuz Garland mixed the acid badly, so it's a giant vat of healing potion. Either that or they'll remember that Red Mage can cast destructive spells (or that Black Mage can cast one of his non-level 9 destructive spells) to get them out of there.
When the smeg is BB gonna say anything?!? (Come to think of it, Thief ain't said much either, but he's said more than BB.)
Maybe the Forest Imps will save them.
I'm kinda looking forward to seeing them try to fight Garland. A cat fight between White Mage and Evil Princess Sara would also be funny.
Giant Can of Mountain Dew
classic.
Garland didn't fill the vat with acid, and the Imps had saved them before they'd even started. I would also like to see WM and EPS in a catfight.
Episode 131 has got to be one of my favorites.
White Mage: Black Belt!
Black Belt: Yo!
White Mage: Ht Sir Armor of Gothic here until he stops thinking consious thoughts.
Black Belt: Gladly. ::ensues ass kicking::
Now I wonder how long it will take them to get to the next town. 30, maybe 40 episodes? And will they have to deal with the forest imps anymore?
I think the forest imps will be with them for the rest of the game....
If Garland was so low-level, then how did he manage to capture them, tie them up, etc? I mean, did they even resist? Kinda pathetic...
And please be light with the spoilers, or at least label them. It kinda ruins the humor of reading it if you know what's gunna happen.
I just wonder how Sara is gonna explain all this to her dad. Even if she manages to change back into her royal garb, I still think Fighter will "look out for her" once they get her back to her father....
Nah... something tells me Fighter will think Evil Sara and Good Sara are different people.
Probably only White Mage will notice they're the same... and no one will care. Or BM will notice too, and like fall in love with Sara or something
He'll fall in love with eeeevil Sara of course.
...Menage a trois! No, no, nevermind... bizarre mental image forming... ack!
On a different note, it's nice to see that 8-bit is getting back into the swing of things - the last few episodes have been a step above what's been done lately.
I wonder how long it will take for the Bridge to be built *shudders*
>>> 131-132 WORST EPISODES EVER!!!!!!
i just cant believe how BB is kicking Garland`s ass..
BB must DIE!!! :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
God yes, I'm sick of the Black Belt. I hope he gets in a fight with the Forest Imps. (And loses, of course.)
Yay i need some sword chucks!
Good ol' Unne. You can always trust him for an impartial observation when it comes to anything about the Black Belt :D
Is Garland...dead?
I hope not.
S
P
O
I
L
E
R
They still need to fight him in Chaos form!
Besides, White Mage's Oath will prevent her from leaving Garland dead, even if he IS evil. Remember when her and BM first met? Same sort of situation.
Of course, the whole Garland/Chaos thing doesn't really fly with 8-bit's take on Garland. In the game, Garland is a wuss, but he's very much Evil and certainly not incompetent. I wonder how he's gonna resolve that in Episode # 12,358...
I really hope today's comic is a bad april fools joke, if you haven't read it, go....... NOW
EDIT: Actually, the more I think about it, it is kind of fitting.
LOL, I love April Fools day... Hello, this guy doesn't have another job now...
THAT'S IT!?!?!?! IS THAT THE END OF 8-BIT FF?!?! WHY, OH WHY MUST LIFE BE SO CRUEL AND UNJUST!?!?! I NEEDED 8-BIT LIKE CRACK! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO NOW!?!?!
Of course its not the end of that wonderful comic. Its a very cruel joke, though.
But if it was, then you'd have a reason to be angry.
Hit "next" at the bottom of the comic...
no, BB is still beating him to a bloody pulp!Quote:
Dr. Disco Is Garland...dead?
I don't think this comic will ever get to the first orb, at this rate, if it does, then itll be about *thinks* episode 500 before they get the CANOE.
Awww...that's just the cutest little kitten! :)
I wonder what Sara is up to?
Is anyone else getting the impression that Black Belt is getting some Ryoga Hibiki influence in his character?

This is the second time he's gotten lost in that straight line hall way, and this time its caused a temporal anomily
My worst nightmares are coming true. Darn it!
Boy, first the Black Belt is included, then he somehow single-handedly defeats Garland, now this? Boy, Unne, you must be tearing your hair out over this one. Maybe Black Mage will stab him and make it all better.
Good ol' Black Mage always saves the day!
but this time the black belt did >.>Quote:

Did anyone NOT see that coming?
I'm a huge fan of 8-bit theater, but, let's face it, he needs to move things along at least twice as fast as he is currently doing.
It's funny, but right now it's just going much too slow to sustain any sort of narrative flow. My interest has kind of waned, but I know that I'm in the minority since Brian just had to switch servers to meet his needs.
I think I'd be a lot less impatient if I didn't know where this would all end.
BTW: Garland is dead. If you bring him back, Brian, I will launch nukes at Florida until one lands on Gainesville.
I'm pretty sure I remember him saying that Garland was not dead.
The plot of the comic is moving slowly though. I admit I wish it would move faster, but as long as it's entertaining I don't see what's wrong with the comic lasting longer :D
Hehe....Unne's wishes came true...after being turned to stone, BB(Or half of his consciousness) is chucked into a big pool of acid. Or Mountain Dew. Whatever. Same thing.
I love 8-bit theatre
"who wouldn't?!":tongue:
I like 8-bit theater, one of the best comics i've read.
I like that ones of "fighter doesn't like robots" and "fighter doesn't like ninjas". Way to cool for me
Those episodes make me wonder how Fighter is going to react to Thief after the Class Change.
I love the series, but how are these guys ever going to beat a fiend.. or any other serious enemy for that matter?
Garland was funny as all get out, but Brian really can't do the whole game with bumbling bad guys. That would get old quick.
He's gotta make the pirates ridiculously tough. That'll be a laugh.
I think the fieds won't be as stupid as Garland... hopefully.
You know, reading the Sunday morning comics, I realize how bad they are compared to good webcomics. Gotta love a good webcomic, they will soon make paper-comics obsolete... yesss....
But what'll happen to newsagents and comic book stores then? (Granted, I don't live in America and I haven't seen a comic book store in my life, but they sound cool)
I think Brian's got himself a little stuck with Garland's situation at the moment: What the heck is he gonna have the imps do with Garland anyway?
After today's episode, I am always, I repeat, ALWAYS going to carry around some talcum powder. I can't wait untill I get to use it :excited:
I want to know what Evil Princess Sara is going to do after grilling Fighter.
I'm guessing she's going to run around and help all their enemies. The Pirates, Lich, Karey, Kraken, Tiamat, are all getting lots of pointers about the Light Warriors weaknesses. And they'll never know that its her doing all of this till the end, she'll just be in nice girl mode everytime their around. Ofcourse, thats just my guess, I could be wrong.
Heh, the title of #146 is perfect.
And I like howSpider-ManArachna-Dude nonchalantly referred to Black Mage as "Captain Pajamas."
That was weird in Thur's episode. He got within something like .001% of Avogadro's number, which is THE number in chemistry (like the speed of light in a vacuum in Physics). I emailed him and asked him if he did it on purpose, but he didn't. That's just weird.
5.8 X 10^23
6.02X10^23
Too close for coincidence, just too close...
Wow. I thought he did it on purpose, too.
"The whole point of being a giant is that it gives you a sort of biological imperative to squish things of lesser giantry, i.e. yourselves."
*spoiler for Tuesday's*
So is the giant going to cease to exist now or what?
Hopefully he'll just messily explode.
Sadly enough, his "Parking Stall Incident" Rant was more entertaining than the comic inself... go figure. Of course, I can relate to it, as we have lovely, wonderful folks like that who populate the mall by where I live.
*spoilers for tuesday*
Wow, Sara must be high level, I wonder how high? And fighter in love? Hooo boy, if anyone should be, it's Black Mage...
Where did she learn the sword technique?
::Laughs::
Fighter is in love with Evil Princess Sara. You know she's going to exploit that later. Either that or remain totally oblivious to his feelings.
And opposits really must attract in 8-bit theater. Black Mage is madly in love with White Mage, a girl who detests evil in all forms, including him, and nice dumb guy Fighter has now fallen for evil genius Evil Princess Sara.
>>> Finally!..

Is the sight down now? BTW, I love it... read my sig ;)

Ishmayl, 8-bit theater might be down for you. I couldn't access it for the longest time and I finally e-mailed Brian about it. He said to try going to his site by using this other site www.anonymizer.com. It has something to do with IPs or whatever.
8-bit theater seemed to be slowing down even more than usual, but it looks like it's sped up again. Can't wait for them to start fighting Fiends :D
When I tried to read thur's comic ( 163 ), I got only the top half of the comic and at the bottom of that there was an inch of what looks like static on a TV. Anyone know why that happened? Help! I'm missing the hilarity! :mad:
Refreshing a couple times should work. It didn't load the picture all the way in your browser, seems like.
I liked Fighter's Haiku. :)
Yeah, I'd tried to refresh a lot, but I had to delete my temporary internet files so it would load a fresh page, not the stored one! Thanks.....and I guess fighter isn't TOO stupid, what with knowing how to write haikus........
I'm not rembering Pronteria, a Knight's guild, or a cathedral in the original story...
There was no "Corneria" either. That's poetic license for you.
I believe he's taking things from Ragnarok Online now. However, the Knight's guild was moved to Izlude (another city in RO) a long time ago. Poor Fighter. xDQuote:

Shouldn't this be in The Lounge or something? *not sure*...
I used to like 8-Bit theater, but around the time when the four when to save princess Sara at Garland's castle, it just started getting too weird. I don't really read it anymore, because it's too weird for it to be funny to me, but the old episodes were really funny and I loved them. It's kinda sad to me though. When webcomics get too weird to be funny, it's the end for me. I've seen it happen to The Jar
Well, he sure as hell got rid of Prontera quickly!
What do you mean? That really was the first city's name.Quote:

And I suppose Prontera was supposed to be the port city where you get the BOAT? Or maybe it was the desert on the way there....
Pravoka is where they'll get the boat. After they go to the cave and meet the blind old witch.
Anyone want to start a pole on just how many chapters it will take them to get that far. I'll go for a low number and say 40 more chapters.
Well, I just loaded the game to look and the woman right at the entrance actually says "Coneria" not"Corneria".
Corneria is just an alternate translation, I'm sure. A lot of people refer to Coneria is Corneria, so it has some weight.
EDIT:
The Imps in #168 are chanting "Hoona Igna Chowa Neha!" as seen in the Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast episode "Fire Ant!" That is so bloody awesome. *rocks out*
It doesn't seem to load! Finally a post.
I actually emailed him when he made the first comic in Coneria and spelled it Corneria. He said he spells it that way on purpose. Not sure why.
I think that episode in the Cave was among the best so far. I guess we'll be meeting Matoya soon.
Somehow I think he's gonna do some weird joke about broomish and fighters stupidity.
Wow, the Cave of No Return. That's from the first episode. I wonder how many people will pick up on that.
I did, but the way Fighter talks about it, I think anybody who has been reading from the beginning would recall it.
Man that was a good joke. I bet we are gonna hear fighter nagging about returning to the cave of no return in 2-3 episodes.
Brian Clevinger has won the Best Fantasy Comic award in The 2002 Cartoonist's Choice Awards for 8-Bit Theater. I'd say it's well-deserved.
It sure is...
I LOVED that joke. Almost nobody refers that far back in comics. Heck, professional comic people don't even have anything that lasts more than a week, unless they introduce a new character. That was great...
So what'll happen when they have to return the crystal to the witch?
I love how he slips in those Simpsons references that the nerdiest among us (me) find hilarious. :)
DENTAL PLAN
Man, I knew I was forgetting something there.
I knew what fighter was talking about when he mentioned the cave of no return.
Oddly enough, Matoya seems to be able to see Black Mage, Thief, and Red Mage.
Nice-lookin' sprite, tho'.
Did he make that sprite all on his own or is it the WSC version or something?
