Webcomics
This page is for the webcomics that I read on a pretty regular basis. Everyone should check them out!
Ctrl-Alt-Del
Webcomic and commentary on video games and other
cultural references following the antics of Ethan (obsessive
gamer extraordinaire) and Lucas, the more grounded roomate who
remembers to call emergency services whenever Ethan does something...
well, Ethan-esque. Along with an ensemble cast of very entertaining
characters, CAD provides a humourous escape.
Girl Genius
Webcomic that describes itself as "gaslamp fantasy" which centers
around the adventures of Agatha Clay in a world full of people called
"sparks" who are geniuses with the ability to design and build
incredibly complex machines. Good fun, good characters and novel in
that it has a strong, likeable woman as the main character.
Least I Could Do
Follows the hilarious, off the wall antics of Rayne Summers, a man
who views life with sex as his primary motivation, and his varied
friends and family. From the same team as Looking For Group, this
comic never fails to make me smile with updates everyday. Sunday's
comic takes a different approach and shows Rayne's adventures as a child.
Looking For Group
Looking For Group is a Fantasy/Science Fiction parody comic updated
several times a week that follows the adventures of a group of
well-written characters that push the bounds of their genre stereotypes.
It pokes fun at everything in these genres and anything else the authors
enjoy.
MegaTokyo
Webcomic about Piro (artist, manga/japanese stuff
enthusiast) and Largo (hardcore gamer and 'l33t h4x0r'),
two friends who fly to Japan on a whim, only to find
themselves stranded. Experience Tokyo from their two
unique and very different perspectives every Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.
Penny Arcade
Webcomic put up most days by two guys who give their
two cents on the latest and greatest that comes out in
the gaming world. The snappy, usually standalone comic
is usually a humorous poke at something in the gaming
industry, following the opinions of Tycho and Gabe.
PVP Online
Follows the crew of a magazine called Player-vs-Player. Intermittently
has commentary on the goings on in the world of video games, but mostly
tells the stories about the people. Pretty funny and updates everyday
Monday through Friday, with an extra feature called 'Ding!' on Sundays.
Sinfest
Webcomic put up everyday that follows the various adventures
of Slick, Monique and friends, God, the Devil, Buddha, Jesus...
to name but a few. With some hilarious commentary on society occasionally
thrown in for good measure, I always enjoy this webcomic by Tastuya Ishida.
The official RSS
is a bit weird and has no images, so I made
this one - enjoy!
VG Cats
Webcomic and commentary on video games and various other
cultural references using satirical cats placed inside
of a comic version of games, movies, anime or other media.
Generally pretty funny stuff, although I tend to just go
for the comics, rather than the accompanying commentaries.
The author also writes a Pokémon parody called
Super
Effective, which is updated very occasionally.
xkcd
"A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language."
That about sums it up, actually - updated every Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
it's very geeky in all kinds of pleasant ways.
