Who loves 8 bit theatre?
it's here
You already know I do. But I'll say it anyways, I love it!
I love 8 bit theatre, i read it all in one day cuz i liked it so much
I love it too. "DON'T LOOK AT ME!!" "ARGH!"
:p :p :p I LOVE 8-BIT THEATER!! :p :p :p
The Fighter RULES!
Fighter:"Two fisted Monkey Style!"
Black Mage: "Whatever that is I sure hope it involves you keeping your pants on!"
Forget Penny Arcade or MegaTokyo, 8-Bit Theatre is the funniest online comic out there.
Black Mage forever!!
Hell yes! I was looking around Unne's site and saw the link, I went and read all 40-or-so(at the time) comics in one day! Now I check to see any new developments daily.
New comic tommorow. I can't wait till they kick Garlands butt.
I like 'A modest proposal', and when he says to the old men, 'BOLT-2, Mutha Fugga!'
I can't wait till they get their class changes.
I like it, of course. I liked the ones at the very beginning better. I disliked the whole Black-Mage-hitting-on-White-Mage thing.
>>>Stupid sword boys...
they kicking white mage from the party...
>>>I love 8-bit..
It's just damn funny stuff, that's all there is to it. I mean come on, how can you argue with giving all our favorite FF characters their own comic strip? That's right: you can't!! Anyway, I read em all in 1 sitting when I first clicked the link on Dr. Unne's site, and I haven't looked back since :D
I, too have the capability to read entire comic archives in one sitting. :D After that, I kept checking back every day. I love how the Black Mage is so eeeeevil!
I love it...... LOOOOOOOOOOVE it.
(P.S. FF1 rules!)
That was also cool how he made the character descriptions in the 'Cast' section all serious like it was a real FF game or something.
*nods* ...the best.Quote:

i love it
"what r u gonna have him do poke me in the ribs" princess
"oh heavens no im nefarious not cruel" Garland
What about that episode with Cloud in it?
"I can summon the gods themselves to do my bidding!"
urgghh!
More lens flare there, man I'm so cool!
Keen.
Impressive.
Time consuming!
They shoulda kept the white mage in da party
The whole comic is funny, I wish he would make more than 3 a week. I read through all 54 episodes my first day, and I want more!
I agree, Unne, the whole Black Mage/White Mage thing is pretty boring. The beginning, particularily without Thief and Red Mage, was better. *doesn't like the author's interpretation of Thief*
"Hadoken!"
Good stuff, that.
Is anyone here on said sites message board?
-I made sure there was a clause stating that I decide weather or not I like the any of the swords that we find in our travels. I had to give up the dental plan for it though.
-Just... stop... talking
Why do you ALWAYS find this sorta stuff at the wee hours of the night, right when you're ABOUT to go to bed? :sleepy:
8-bit theatre is DA [BLEEP]!!!
edit: that means good.
Edit by Unne: Sorry, had to bleep it.
8 Bit theater rocks it is the best nothing is better then it I think all tv shows and comics should be replaced by 8 Bit theater. Don't pay any attention to me I'm just saying pointless stuff like a crazed maniac. Which I am:D .
I can't wait for them to finally meet up with Garland. He doesn't stand a chance!
I don't know Garland is pretty stupid and they don't get along and they have a bad team. Let's see Red Mage has a huge ego, Fighter is stupid, Black Mage is evil, and Theif is mean. So I'll say it will be a close match.
Why did they boot the white mage? Well I guess it wouldn't have really worked out with Black Mage.... But she'll probably come back for some reason or other. I can only wonder what would be with FFIIj and FFIIIj, since this is obviously based on FF.
Unne: Whoops. Sorry. But it IS DA.... never mind.
I know why they got rid of White mage. Because she in normal. I mean normal, they can't have a normal person on the team plus she has morals. Also they needed a guy with a oversized ego.
i found it funny how in the most recent the theif stole the kings walls
I personally like the Red Mage. If White Mage stayed it would've just continued the whole Black Mage coming onto her bit. BM surrounded by everyone he hates(Along with Fighter's stupid comments) are what make it great.(Although I would like to see more fight scenes later on)
i love it
"I LIKE SWORDS"
"Fighterdoken!" Hehe.

WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT THIS?
One of the latest comics where they're reading magazines is hilarious.
*Dark Japanese*
"Three more steps to a more invincible character..."
"I'll never pay for long-distance again!"
"Bees like honey."
Why are you stabbing me in the face? Argghhhhhh. Why are still stabbing me I said you could have the ladder. Arghhhhhable. Why are you kicking me know in broad daylight as people pass by not paying attention to me being beaten.
That was the funniest part of all.
Reminds me of the Austin Powers classic...
"I'm still alive, but I'm very badly burned! Argh! Why did you shoot me in the arm!"
Good Stuff. Too bad he can't make a new one EVERY day instead of every OTHER day... but that would too hard to do... oh well, I'll just have to deal.
Well he does get fan comics every monday wednesday and friday. And they are pretty funny too. Also I think I know what Black Mage is going to do. He is going to use the ladder to get 4 light bulbs and pose them as the orbs of light and I bet then the king will see the light bulbs and think they are the real light warriors so he sends them to fight evil. While the REAL light warriors come and the king says they are fakes. So Black Mage and the others have to be light warriors. Boy are we screwed.
Then when you think about it, it'll be really easy to save the world. Just find four light sockets, flip the switch, the orbs are glowing again, let's go fight chaos!
Am I good or am I good? I figured out what Black mage was going to do with the ladder before that episode came out. I predicted it the 12 it came out the 14.
Crazy...
Anyways, I wonder what will happen with Black Belt.(If he's anything like Dr. Unne, Bl. Belt will die a slow, painful death as soon as he arrives)
Yes. I had already typed here if anyone would have the Episode 53, but I went and checked, and IT SHOWED UP! YAY! YAY!
Hmm... I think that the Black Belt should get his very own Cheesy Lens Flare. What do you guys think?
Maybe Black Belt will be one of the real Light Warriors, but gets turned away because Thief has already made the cast all light Warriors.
Yeah, I'm wondering if the Black Belt will show up too. I'm surprised we haven't seen him yet!
I doubt Black Belt will be in it. They all ready have the four man clan. If they brought him, what would they do with him? If he came, I wonder what kind of personalty he would be.
I think he's simply been overlooked. I mean, it started out with only the Fighter and Black Mage, I don't believe it was ever really intended to include every single FF character... although I think it would be funny/cool to have the Black Belt (assuming he ever shows) be a Jackie Chan-like character.
P.S. Welcome to Coneria! I like swords!
Welcome to Coneria! I like swords!
Welcome to Coneria! I like swords!
Ahh... my favorite 8 bit Theater...
He says Bl. Belt will show up eventually...
I hope when Bl. Belt comes, he will smack the crap out of Theif and take over as the leader. I really don't find Theif funny. The other three are great but Theif never made me laugh.
>>> You really hate Thiefs.. eh :D
I like Thief just because of the blue hair.:D And if Fighter is a moron, I bet Bl.Belt will be pretty dumb. And Thief is the smartest one, and practically owns Fighter and Black Mage, so I doubt he'll get booted. Go Thief!
What gave you that idea, Black Orb?:D ...:mad2:
Theif, the smartest one? He's the second dumbest next to Fighter. Black Mage always comes up with the "witty" plans and Red Mage is smart in more ways than one.
I imagine when BB comes, he will be a badass. We will just start fights with anyone he comes across. Or maybe he will act all tough and brave, but when he gets in battle, he'll crack like a wuss.
Black Mage is an evil bastard, yes, but Thief was able to enslave him and Fighter for life, become the leader of the party, have the king sign over Coneria(Thieferia...heh), and he stole everything on the way there. Red Mage is an arrogant jerk, but I like him anyway. The only character I really never liked was...hmm, there are none.*shrug*
>>> What about Garland.. He is the Greatest!!
"Damn you Forest Imps! You've been a thorn in my side for too long! You will pay, yes, you will pay."
Many a good moment over at 8 bit theater. But I have to agree with Mr. Sinister, I don't really find the thief funny too often. Ahh well, we won't know what the BB will be like until he appears.
Hopefully he never even brings the BB into the story. :)
Oh COME ON Unne, the Black Belt IS DA S...... ah, forget it.
"OH YEAH. SHE WANTS ME." -Black Mage
"EXCUSE ME. DO YOU CARRY ANY RESTRAINING ORDER SPELLS." -White Mage
8bit theater is the best. When I first came upon it, I read all 62 comics in one sitting. The plot to the comic may drag (they still haven't left corneria yet) but with the black mage character, all 62 have been funny as hell. Who could forget the poor innocent soul who walked by while the Black Mage was rigging the vote. Or Cloud's endless attack that only brought a chocoboo. Or the enormity of Cloud's sword. Or the orbs that were warm with destiny.
I think I'll wait another couple monthes and then read the next batch. Or I could read the 60-something comics again. They're that good.
HAIL BRITT!
Yeah, I've read the archives through at least twice. Good stuff.
Urge to destroy world rising
The latest episode brought up a good point. You are risking your life to fight all these bad dudes and that damn king does nothing but say "go find the princess".
It was cool to see Ninja's, though. :)
That one was great! The best lines:
"Yes. Except replace the phrase 'most powerful' with 'weakest' and 'equip you' with 'you'll have to buy'."
"Oh of course. Only...no."
"Ninjas use swords."
That really is a good point. Why is it that we (RPGer's) save these bankrupt and corrupt kingdoms that won't even foot the bill for anything we do? Or is every kingdom a copy of England where the Royalty can't even pull out their wallet's without a nod from the Prime Minister?
It's in my hair,
it's in my haaaaiiiirrrr!!!!
ROFLMAO
One of the funniest ones yet!
I love the 8-bit theatre! All the characters are so great, and their quirks are all so hysterical. I hope that the White Mage does return, maybe with the black mage, although I am with Dr. Unne that I hope there is a little more interaction than just the Black Mage hitting on the White Mage. But overall, it is EXCEPTIONAL!
The last episode was incredibly funny. I don't need to give quotes, because the best lines were mentioned above, but it gets better and better. I hope the white mage returns as well. Actually, I was suprised the white mage didn't win at the time. Maybe black belt will stop by soon? Who knows. It'll be funny though.
No, the white mage and the Black Belt are going to be like Zangulus and Sylpheel from Slayers. They're guest characters that will show up from time to time to help the main cast. They work better that way and it will allow the characters to develop while they are away.
I had the MOST uncool dream last night. I dreamt that I went to the 8-bit Theater site and instead of having a new comic posted, there was an update saying that Squaresoft was going to sue 8-bit Theater unless he took the site down, and that he had to comply, so that was it -- no more 8-bit Theater. It was really quite unnerving. I must admit I was relieved when I logged on this morning and found a hilarious new episode to giggle about...
"You know, my backstab attack does double damage. I could make an off button for him"
"Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to learn more."
I'm seeing visions of Black Mage skulking in the shadows, dagger in hand. Too bad his eyes give him away :p
Heh, the 8-bit Theater cast hangs out on a Q&A site- http://www.conversawang.com
They stay IC perfectly.
heh heh, everything Red Mage said on the latest epoisode was funny. Red Mage is starting to become my favorite character.
Oh, and I was looking through the cast page, and I noticed they added two more bios: Garland and Princess Sara. Has anyone else seen them? They are pretty funny.
Funny how everyone hated Black Mage at first because he's evil, and now everyone instead hates Fighter because he's stupid.
I don't hate fighter or Black Mage.
No, that Cloud Cameo was pure justice. That's the way I felt everytime I summoned Bahamut Zero.
"Neat! Keen! Impressive! Time Consuming!"
Yeah, I don't hate Black Mage or Fighter (although Fighter has gotten a little lame with the spider deal). Theif, like people have said before me, isn't that funny IMO.
Maniac Ranma and Flamethrower are right: I don't hate any of the characters. They're all great! I personally have found this whole series _great_. I personally found Fighter's thing with the spider hysterically funny, but everyone has their own likes and dislikes.
When do you think Black Belt will show up? And when will we see White Mage again?
Good One, as always
Red Mage: Perhaps we can use some of the money from Theif's "findings".
Theif: Or perhaps we can all stick white hot iron rods in our eyes until we spear our brains.
Man, if the creator of this series is a The Slayers fan, then it's only a matter of time before he does a Fighter meets Gourry Gabriev episode.
Yeah, I hadn't found the Thief that funny into this episode. He cracked me up with the hot pockers in the eyes bit! I like all the other ones as well, although the Red Mage not as much as the Black Mage and Fighter
Heh, Black Mage beat up the wrong old man. Priceless.
Fighter: YOUR SWORDS, AS SHINY AS THEY MAY BE, ARE POWERLESS AGAINST THE SPIDERS' WRATH!!!
You gotta admit the Black Mage rants are pretty darn funny too.
"IT'S THE ONLY TIME I FEEL ALIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!"
"...a collection of Ancient Spells that could easily level a small Kingdom (or very large Township) if they were placed into the wrong hands -- HANDS SUCH AS MINE VERY OWN!"
And I don't hate fighter. One of my favorite, um, bits from 8-bit Theater is the whole "Welcome to Coneria. I like swords." bit. Priceless.
About the only character I don't care for is the Thief. To me, he's never been funny. Oh well, 4 out of 5 is not bad. Not bad at all.
"SWORD CHUCKS, YO."
"That is the worst idea anyone has ever had."
Funny, Coneria is suppose to be the biggest kindom in the world, yet they have the crappiest weapons and armor possible.
Sword Chucks? I'd like to see those in action.
Sword chucks. Stuppidest idea evere? Or the idea of genusises?
It's good that the party is finally showing signs of leaving Corneria. I wonder if this pace (60+ installments per town) will keep up as it has, though. I hope it'll be worth the wait when the party finally reaches Melmond.
I think they just had 60+ installments because they had to get through choosing who'd be the Light Warriors, getting named officially, and etc. I bet some towns will be just zipped through(like Pravoka).
I could just imagine them fighting lich. Maybe black mage will hit on her. You know since their both evil.
Priceless: EDIT: Damn, the GIF isn't coming out. Im talking about the Black Mage dancing.
So Fighter is going to write the comics for awhile? Im dying to see that.
I reopened this at the request of a couple people. I got rid of the crap. Don't post any more crap here. Keep this on topic. onegai dekimasen ka?
I didn't like the last episode, where Brian wrote himself into the comic. Maybe that just stems from my intense hatred of the Family Circus, though.
Eh, it was alright. Not great, all right.
I hope that guy doesn't vacation for too long. That last comic was more of an aside, not really in the 8-bit series. I think he did it just to say he was going for a couple days. Simply writing that would have been lame so he made a comic.
GLL, they are going to keep writing the comics but, well, read this...
Now this is gonna be intresting...Quote:

First, there will be no more Black Mage.

Maybe it's one of those ordeals in which we face crappy comics while the author's away, but when he comes back he overlaps the bad stuff with the "proper" comics, like the Shirt Guy Tom strips in Sluggy Freelance.
The little dancing BlackMage was cute though...but, yeah, I hope we get out of this 'interlude', and soon.
I honestly just actually looked at it today after seeing a ton of links for it in sigs, and I love it! I read maybe 60-70 of them!!
This little off-tangent is okay. I'm not going to tell the author what he should do (making each episode of a 67-episode-long comic hysterical is impressive), but I like the characters a lot and really can't wait until they get outside of Corneria (and possibly meet Black Belt and White Mage again). I don't mind off-tangents, and I think I'll like this as long as it doesn't go on for too long.
Oh, and Bahamut2000X, concerning Black Mage hitting on Lich: even despite the gender argument, there is the slight matter of Lich being undead. Granted, I SUPPOSE Black Mage might think that way, but.... :whoa:
I never thought i'd say this, but that was one stupid episode of 8-Bit theater. One of the worst. Of course, the author probaly purposly made it bad to further advance the stupidity of Fighter...
Chill out, yo! It's only a comic, they can have off tangent episodes all day if they wanted to =o
Yeah, I know. 1 bad comic as oppose to the 60-something great ones isn't going to make me stop loving 8-Bit Theater. All im saying is that one was bad. Im not mad at them or anything.
LoL, that was so stupid it was funny.
"<--The fireball beam is right over there but I cannot draw it again"
You know, Fighter was funny and cool when he was just slow. Now that he's a cliched idiot he's just annoying. I'm starting to lose my love of this comic since the characters are just stereotypes (And not good ones) now.
I found that rather amusing. I'd have liked it better without the horrible grammar though. It'll get better again, I'm sure, once things are back to normal.
Am I glad I finally decided to come down to the FF1 forum to check this out! This series just rocks. Although, it was really good at the beginning when it was just Fighter and Black Mage, at the time when Fighter didn't seem to be much of an idiot.
Now that Fighter's in charge...yessh, it's all weird...the first actual interlude episode was kinda...eh. More showing of how dumb Fighter is than anything else. Hopefully, it'll be back to the good ol's day of BM in no time...
"Why, it would take some kind of insane meglomanical fiend to take pleasure in wielding the tapestry of creation to focue pure energy into reality through nothing more than my own will, the rush of electricity through my being, the power--my god, the power! IT'S THE ONLY TIME I FEEL ALIIIIIIIIIVE!!"
The concluding interlude episode will be posted on this Saturday, which I think is a good thing.
Interlude00 was only mildly funny. Interlude01 had no laughs at all. So... the Fighter is dumb and can't make a polished comic. It's sad that a comic strip takes a whole week to examine a character, only to make him increasingly one-dimensional.
Enter the darkside of Dr. Unne, all WLunaris said was that Lich was male and that he beleived that Cloud's cameo was blasphemy. I see banning him as an unreasonable action, his haiku on the other, hand... I thought that was the reason you banned him, but if this was that was the last straw, then Dr. Unne is nothing more than a hard@$$ed tyrant. As for WLunaris, he is a martyr who's only crime was speaking his mind.Quote:

Scooter, keep things on topic. This thread was closed earlier because of off topic things. If you have a problem with Dr. Unne, PM him.
Back on Topic, I wonder if each character will have their own seprate Interlude. I would love to see one by Black Mage.
If that is what will happen then I'm most looking forward to Red Mage's interlude. (I love Dungeons and Dragons and I'm a twink myself)Quote:

LoL, the characters aren't as set as they used to be. Like, first, no one cared Fighter was dumb and they all hated Black Mage, now they all hate Fighter. And in the comic, Fighter seems all nice, and now he's a jerk since he's running things. The only one who's the same is Red Mage, since he doesn't really have a personality, unless 'obssessed' is one.
True. You'd think that Black Mage would be the one who would want to take over the site and make fun of the author, but it's Fighter. Why does he keep making fun of Black Mage? I thought he thought Black Mage was his friend. I liked Fighter better when he had the "Dumb but Lovable" personality; now he is just dumb. Hopefully he will return to his normal self after the interlude.
One thing I've never understood: Why are Theif and Red Mage constandly taking second hand in role? It's basicly just Fighter and Black Mage with the other two filling in a much lesser role. I mean, Theif is suppose to be the leader of the team and Red Mage is suppose to be the smart guy of the team and they barely speak. I sometimes forget that they are there. I hope they take a more active role in the future.
Thief and RM are usually just talking to eachother, but recently they've been saying alot more.(Like, they talked alot during the castle sequence, and also later during the spider thing)Quote:

"Scooter", aka. WLunaris, you're IP banned this time.
On topic. Yes. I never liked Red Mage. I'd have been happy if Brian had kept it to only Black Mage and Fighter. The beginning was much better, I agree with whoever said that above. It's too showy now. Or something.
I kinda like the interlude myself. It's not as good as the main comic so far, but it's by no means bad. The behind the scenes episode was creative. I didn't like the newest robot one very much. Still, even at it's worst, it's a million times better than anything else out there. As far as what people have been saying about characterizations, I agree. In the beginning, B.Mage was evil, and fighter was dumb. We knew that, as he got the point across with a little subtlety. I'll admit, I've never really liked the thief or red mage yet. The thief is more of a used car salesman than a stealthy mysterious character he could have been. And red mage just annoys me. Still, I hate complaining since I couldn't do any better. Yeah, I think "too showy" is how I'd describe it too.
Has anyone signed The 8-Bit Theater Petiton? *is 1513*
I signed, forget which I was though.
Dear God, the comic with the guards was HORRIBLE!
*is 1511*
Which one, #72? I found that one rather amusing.
At first I thought the guy was screaming 'HELP', but when I found out he'd written it on the wall in his own blood, it seemed much more amusing.(Don't ask me why, I guess I'm just morbid)
Black Belt!!!
wOOt! It's the black belt!!!! Wait a minute, he did nothing! *feels angry*
Well, he's headed into a bedroom with White Mage...heheheheh.
I bet Black Mage is gonna fry him.
Hopefully that's the last we'll see of Mr. Black Belt. That's more than enough Black Belt for one comic.
You know, the best part of this series is going to be MUCH later when the stat-obssesed Red Mage begins to fall behind EVERYONE else, just like in the game. I can't wait to see what happens on that.
Poor BM
I love the new one (#75)! Heh, the way he clowned on the Black Belt was perfect.
"I don't think you were paying attention. Watch...HA!"
*snicker*
Hehe. I'm glad he made Bl. Belt an idiot. I feared he would be...smart! The trusty book of Unne has not been defiled.
BLLLLLAAAAACCCCCK BEEEEEELLLLLT!!!!!!!![/spam]
>>> Hhahaha!!.. Black Belt you are so silly...
My god... BB is stupider than fighter... I diddn't think that was possible...
"How many swords could a sword-chuck chuck if a sword-chuck could chuck swords?"
That's pretty funny. :)
8-Bit Theater seems to be down now...
this all sounds cool, but where do i find the 8-bit theater? is it on eyes on ff, or is it some other web site?
You're right. It's not. I've just checked my FF1 save state. My Knight had 24 INT and my Master had 35.Quote:

Can other people with BBs and Fighters check this out? I want to see if there is ANY save out there which has a more intelligent Fighter.
Think about it anyway, the Black Belt would NEED a lot of intelligence to, well, be a Black Belt. Surely he does more damage later on because he knows how to hit faster and where to hit -doesn't THAT require a particularly high intelligence?
The Fighter just strikes an idea of "see enemy, bash enemy with sword. If enemy is dead look for another enemy. If enemy is not dead, bash with sword again" -where's the intelligence with that?!?
I just wonder if we'll see more of White Mage at some point... well, other than in BM's twisted dreams, that is. I liked her character, and wouldn't mind seeing an occasional cameo from her - and from BB as well. But I think at this point it the comic would be better served to move the plotline along with just the 4, and get to the confrontation with Garland. THAT is going to be a riot.
I hadn't thought about that. I hope Garland lives. He's a good character and could be built up to much more. If Garland gets killed off then Brian is wasting a good opportunity IMO.
I agree with the idea of sticking to the main 4 though. I'd like to see Red Mage get a little more developed, now Thief has. Plus Red Mage could be developed into a pretty cool character as well. But hey, I'm into statistics, so that's just me.
I seem to side more with Dr. Disco on this one. It is only a comic, and the comic is staying essentially true to the game. I think it's neat that the creator (you named him! Sacrilege! :D ) is taking liberties, but not overdoing it.
In any case, I really have not been responding to this thread because I realize that I could produce, maybe, one funny comic each month, and as far as I'm concerned, he has 89 hysterical ones in a row. I'm not going to tell him how to write his own comic.
I love 8-bit theater. Faults or innacuarcies be damned; it's really really good!! *applauds*
Too bad thieves can't stab Werewolves for 6x damage in the game, eh? Oh well, I'll forgive him - after all, it's D&D stuff he's throwing in there, and I'm certainly not going to argue with that!
P.S. If you really love 8-bit Theater, go to his site and buy a shirt or something, so he can keep his site up! We don't want to see 8BT disappear because it went bankrupt, do we?
http://www.geocities.com/handsclan/soviet4.gif
Finnally its going somwere, i was somwhat dismayed at brians tantrum on the audiance when he wrote about a "moron" he later edited it to a toned down version but those who saw it before that saw his side wich was pretty childish and doesent leave a good impression with comments such as "I made this site for 4 people, and if you others dont like it fine if i lose half my audiance because you think im an asswhole then its your loss" ect but other than that i really enjoy the comic =) and cant wait to see garland in a brawl.
Still...
Quite tempted...
To kill...
Red Mage...
His "tantrum" as you called it, I thought was justified. When he went back and toned it down I was kind of disappointed.
It's like this... he's providing this comic for free... in his spare time... to anyone that wants to see it.
Then this guy e-mails him... tells him he doesn't update enough, gets on his case about how he doesn't like the characters, and then tells him how to manage it.. "wouldn't it make more sense to work on the comic whenever you have free time... rather than the night before?" (this quote is from memory... so it's probably not accurate :P ). It's more like polite hate mail to me. I would've reacted the same way.
And like Brian said... if that guy doesn't like the comic... he doesn't have to read it.
Anyway, critisism is one thing... but that e-mail was extreme. That guy had what was coming to him.
Quite true, Disch. An analogy: this whole situation would be like if I sent you a nasty e-mail telling you how much your FREE FFHackster program sucks, and how you should have done this and that with it, and oh yeah, your website is crappy, too.
I can't think of too many people that would take an uncalled for e-mail like that well. I don't believe that anyone would object if you then wrote me a reply saying, "Listen, you moron..."
Well, you get the idea. I say Brian was totally justified in his rant, and it makes me sad that he had to go back and "tone it down" because it apparently offended some people. Oh well.
Since Marak and Disch seem to have it covered, I will simply state that I agree. Well put, guys.
P.S. I'm looking at the products offering the "Welcome to Corneria. I like swords. Welcome to Corneria. I like swords" scene.
PLEASE NOT THE "I LIKE SWORDS" RANT! ANYTHING ELSE!!! IT'S BEEN GOING THROUGH MY HEAD SINCE ALL MY MATES READ IT AND DECIDED TO MAKE IT THEIR EVERYDAY CHANT!!!
Didn't Thief stab for 8x damage? 2x2x2= aw hell with it. I just happen to think Black Belts are a good class and I don't want a potentially good character to be made stupid.
Mikaga, to save your sanity, I will refrain from further explanation, and just say that I laughed so hard at your post I nearly cried. :laugh:
P.S. What? I'm a fighter, I really do like swords.
"hey, red mage has a lot of blood... but not as much as he had 5 minutes ago, of course." lol, that comic rocks! Who cares if any of the classes get insulted, its a comic. its supposed to be funny!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
When there are more smilies than text, you know something's wrong with a post. But today's comic was hilarious, I must agree.Quote:

Those Smilies are raking through my flesh like a +2/+2 Sword of Wounding! Arrrrrgh! Oh, sweet Jesus, it hurts!
Maybe he'll kill off Red Mage and replace him with White Mage? One can hope!
Well, I'll just have to wait and see...
Naa. He should keep all 6 classes alive. Asides, why get rid of the Twink? He rocks, and screws up a lot :)
I dunno... I just don't care for Red Mage all that much... or Thief, for that matter. BM/Fighter still have the best banter.
BM: You've got... a GIANT SPIDER on your face!
Fighter: Get it off! It's in my hair, IT'S IN MY HAAAAIIIRRRR!!!!
Man, I LOVE that episode. It's even better than Welcome to Coneria. I like Swords.
WHY does everyone like WM? She's not really funny, all humor involving her is off of BM.
Because we all want those two to get it on?
Stupid? I'm this close to buying the T-shirt!
I don't know about wanting to see WM and BM "get it on" (how the HELL do sprites "get it on"?) but I DO want to see BM get smacked into some more Planar Surfaces...
OK, I'm taking bets: 10 GP says Red Mage is down to -10 HP in the next episode.
When they were talking about wanting Red Mage gone, Brian said something to the affect of "Come on, if you've ever played a tabletop RPG, you've known someone like this. Someone obssessed with stats to an insane level. Unless of course, you're just like him, so it wouldn't cross your mind to think he's funny."
Hmm...obssessed with stats, huh?
*looks all innocent*
Disco, you're not talking about ME, are you?
Seriously, though, I play D&D and I have a mini-Twink player that I have to deal with on a weekly basis. Hmm, maybe that explains my indifference to Red Mage... I've heard it all before :p
Wait, you mean I should forget to forget what you said, or I should forget the part before that which I have already forgotten since it didn't involve swords and is therefore meaningless?
If Brain were ever to come here and read this thread, I wonder what he would think of it... I can just see him writing some smart-alecky rant about these nerds on some forum with nothing better to do than critique his web comic :D
He is probably hiding under some fake guise pretending to be somone else posting comments about the topic wile we sit back in ignorance, (ages ago i used to think he was dr disco :| but hey)
oh and btw disco it may be a bit off topic but i was wondering, what is diffrent about the dark warriors are they evil or whatnot? or some excuse for editing the rom :D
About the Red Mage being down to -10 HP. That would be funny as heck. The only character that can cast LIFE is dead. A White Mage/Black Belt cameo looms...
Then White mage saves red mage and she leaves and the plot continues with red mage still in party, and rightfully so! that episode were rm says "HE'S LOWERD MY INT SCORE BY JUST BEING NEAR ME" had me in fits best one yet i believe or grants ear i just dont know :D
I..huh?Quote:

It'd be funnier if WordBearer was Brian and he was being ironic.
hmn, to be brian i wonder.... but i wont go into what comics i would edit and so on :P
Oh and disco, what is there to be confused about? you tired or somthing? if you didnt understand some of the simple post then refer to what you didnt under stand, "i... huh" really just gets me confused along with you.
I didn't really get the Dark Warriors thing the first time I read it. But I think I know what you're saying. The Dark Warriors are supposed to be evil, but not as evil as Chaos is. The reason they help people? Money, baby.
Heh thanks, kinda given me an incentive to go back and have another go.
oh and on the 8 bit comic do you think the "true" light warriors will fight Bm and the like, them light warriors have class changed before even going into corneria, strange.... :rolleyes2
I think the point of that was just for a laugh. We probably won't see the "true" light warriors again. But don't hold me to that...
Haha, that episode was kinda funny, but still i thought it a little pointless, waited 5 days for that? But still it provided me with like 1 minuite of enjoyement.
How was that not lame? :D
WordBearer has a point. I hope the writer can do better in 2 days' time.
Well, no one can be funny ALL the time, give poor Brian a break. At least - unlike some "real" comic strips out there - Wizard of Id, Cathy, Marmaduke, et al - 8 Bit-Theater is actually funny on a regular basis! And usually, if a comic is so-so one day, the next one more than makes up for it - at least that's been my experience.
But I guess I'm just used to high standards from 8BT, and for once in a while it just didn't deliver. I'm sure it'll get better next "issue".
Well it didnt, "i guess black mage has a point" episode bored me senseless, he is losing his edge for like the past 4 comics
I thought it was pretty funny myself.
You got it, Disco. Apparently WordBearer didn't read Brian's little rant from last week :p
Oh yeah... Thursday's comic was worth a good chuckle. Not the best ever, but they can't ALL be hilarious.
:D
Watching you guys talk about this is hilarious! 8-bit Theatre is my favorite comic (besides Bob and George... has anybody ever seen that one? Very funny!) and I hope that it keeps running. The daily rants are funny too. :)
This is my first post to this thread. I just found 8-bit Theater. It's histerical. Personally, I think they should have kept White Mage around rather than Red Mage, but thats just me. Fighter/Thief/White Mage/Black Mage is my favorite party. But Red Mage is kinda funny.
As for the most recent comics, its so funny how they just left Red Mage lay there suffering from the Werewolf wounds. And Garland is such a wussy enemy I can't stop laughing at him. I can't wait till they actually have to fight him.
Eagle: good call. Bob and George is also quite hilarious. (it's at http://www.bobandgeorge.com if you wanna go check it out). I'm surprised that Red Mage didn't have a HEAL Potion tucked in his Twink Utility Belt! That would have saved his bacon...
I wouldn't be surprised if the whole Red Mage injury is a ploy by the author to get the White Mage into the party. Plus it's almost up to the fabled 100th comic to BTW.
I discovered 8 bit theatre after getting linked to it from this thread.
It was one of those nights where I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe.
IT WAS SOOO FUNNY!!! The whole forest thing was the best, the best. That comic rocks. I loved it. It's just too funny for words.
Fighter: Guess we oughta take Red Mage back to ge healed.
Black Mage: ::smiling:: Or we could leave him here to rot.
::fighter and thief carry Red Mage off::
Black Mage: You guys suck.
Another side splitting episode of 8 bit theater. Hope he keeps it coming.
heh, that episode made me genuinly laugh (like it used to) but side splitting.... :mad: ?
It'll get better, it always does.
(long time lurker, first time poster...)
First of all, they're not ALL supposed to be funny. It's clear that Brian is building a story here (a very long story since they haven't even gotten to garland yet, but that's another discussion altogether). So sometimes a comic or two has to be sacrificed for the sake of moving the story along or setting up a joke later on. Secondly, the ones that are supposed to be funny won't be hilarious to everyone every time.
Besides, like I always say, don't criticize unless you can show that you can do better. Brian has produced nearly 100 pages of comics that range from hilarious (black mage's pie woman dream) to distubing (black mage brutally murdering those guards) to fascinating (black mage's "true face", those dream sequences). This guy clearly knows what he's doing. Don't criticize him for doing more than "I like swords" in every issue.
But that's just me.
Reading this over, I think I come across meaner than I meant to and I apologize ahead of time :D I guess the point is: Brian has said that his 8-Bit Theatre isn't 'just another webcomic'. I for one am definitely seeing, to put it lightly, hints that this is the case. Let's just sit back and see where he takes us. If the last 90-something installments are any indication, then I cannot wait to see what the next 90, or 900 will have in store.
I sent Brian an e-mail telling him to check this thread out... wouldn't it be nice if he actually did and posted some kind of reply? Well, one can hope...
Demento's got a point. I think we're being too analytical. If you go in expecting rip-roaring, side-splittingly funny comics EVERY TIME, well, guess what? You're going to be very disappointed.
No one, and I mean NO ONE, can be hilarious, without fail, every time. I don't care if you're Brian Clevenger or Jerry Seinfeld, it is just not going to happen.
On another note, has anyone noticed that the monsters are all smarter than the "light warriors"? That kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Smarter? Naaah, just less insane.(Okay, they're all smarter than Fighter, except maybe the giant)
Some nice points demento, I agree with what you said.
Its just episodes like THIS http://www.nuklearpower.com/comic/091.htmQuote:

Wich i fail to see how it moves the story along or set up a joke, the next comic is basicly unrelated and episode 91 could've been deleted and no one would know because of it just being a stall episode. There are other episodes like that such as the garland-chaos dream wich was dreadfull.
What im saying is that i can still read early episodes and laugh, they were original and the jokes well made, I have a complete right to say that brian is losing his edge in some comics wether i could do better or not, its my opinion and im trying to express that dont we all want comics of the quality that brian made frequently before or poor episodes wich basicly make you think "i waited 5 days for that.
I wait 5 days because im a great fan of 8-bit theater and think its a great sadness that (in my opinion) the auther can do a whole lot better, as weve seen proof.
On a diffrent note, thursdays comic made me laugh, and it made me feel better that if he put that effort into other recent comics id be reading 8-bit for a long more time to come.
I personally think that Episode 91, WordBearer, was a development of Red Mage's "twink" character not being quite as invincible as he thought he was, and how the other warriors are beginning to lose respect for him. So, no, I disagree with saying that it didn't have a development point.
Umm, how was Ep091 unrelated to the next one? The whole basis was that they were trying to say something clever about beating the werewolves, and then the werewolves got into an argument, and that's practiocally what saves them. And if you don't like it, I think you can safely assume Brian doesn't give a rat's ass.
I don't want to have to close this one, too, guys. Grow up. Seriously.
Ep094 is hilarious!
"Oh dear lord, that's not a tentacle!"
I agree that the comic is not as good as it was when it started. I know that the creator of the comic might not value my opinion, but I didn't post it as a suggestion of change, simply as fact.
I like Thief much more after that dream. Instead of being a goofy, laughter-inspiring character, he is a semi-serious flawed character, which is a good asset to the story(which I believe will stagnate if it relies completely on character humor).
(Off topic slightly): I never have understood people's objections to flaming. I have never found it unpleasant to read (often it has been more entertaining than the threads it inhabits), and while it may be off topic, I think that some off topic discussion is necessary in pretty much every BBS thread to keep it lively and evolving.
MHO.
Look at it this way, if a lot of you are expecting brilliant comics, it just shows you how well Brian's made the previous comics. Get over it, they'll get better.
Better like episode 094 :D
Even if you think the quality hasn't been as high lately (though i'd say it has, but that's just me :)), you've got to admit that was a great comic.
Seeing Black Belt dive headfirst into a mass of tentacles WAS quite amusing! You don't see THAT very often.
I'm also going to have to give props to the COMPLETELY unflappable White Mage... I mean, NOTHING bothers this girl. Monsters, Black Mage's come-ons, rejection from the party, Black Belt's sillyness; none of it bothers her one bit, she just keeps on keepin' on...
P.S. I like how he's been subtly ripping sprites from FF3, hoping that we won't notice. But I'm on to him, I say! The gig is up!
Subtly? White Mage, the Crinos, almost all the ppl in line for the Light Warrior auditions, Garland and Sara, and the little kid BM scarred for life are all FFIIIj sprites. LoL
Whoops, did I say "subtly"? Argh! I meant "blatently". My bad. Sorry.
I agree about what Brian said in the last update though. He should take a week off. How much time does he spend voluntarily a week? It's not as if he gets much help with it either, and by the look of what he's been posting recently (not enough sleep, more stress etc.) he needs the extra time to get things back to normal.
Yeah, a week off couldn't hurt at all. Maybe he could post some fan comics or fan art in the meantime. Or do Mage Comics like those Fighter Comics.
But those might be too freaky for mortal eyes to gaze upon... kinda like Black Mage himself. :D
Episode 95 sucked.
I agree completely. It wasn't even funny, and it won't be funny if he continues with this "BB is gay" thing. Hopefully he's going to drop it.
I just hope he'll make it look like BB is paranoid. If he makes him out to be gay then I'm one of the probably many people who'll stop watching 8-Bit Theater.
It's not all bad though, at least it meant that BB beat the large tentacle monster...
Hehe, Black Belt is gay. But it isn't hard to beat Kraken, a one-eyed squirrel armed with wet spaghetti could do it.
I find it pretty hilarious that BB's either paranoid/gay. Either way, it'll be funny.(Hmm, is Dr. Unne really Brian?:D)
And yeah, I'm sure 1,000's upon 1,000's will just close 8-Bit Theatre immediately and never read it again, all because of gay jokes.
