Collaborative Post 2X Combo!!!!


Alt Title: That webcomic that we both read and you should too

Picture from knowyourmeme.com

LET US TELL YOU ABOUT HOMESTUCK.
What else could it be, besides a bunch of kids stuck in their homes?
Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff?

“PPPPHHHHBBBB” I say to you. Homestuck consists of 4 main “humans” and 12 main “trolls” as well as what seems like a million other characters all in one scrambled egg situation. Originally anticipating the release of SBURB, a computer game,
they realize that the game takes them into another world, and the four kids traverse their assigned lands. Often they are trolled by what they believe are basic internet trolls, but indeed are actually an alien-insect ish race from another planet who too, have a game like SBURB called Hivebent. First the trolls insults and make fun of the humans, but eventually they must work together to beat the game to for the greater good of the trolls and humans.

Oh yeah, and it may not have weird puzzle stuff like Problem Sleuth, but it has the new and improved “weird plot stuff!”. gog it’s so difficult to understand sometimes...

If you like reading complex and long webcomics, welcome to Homestuck my friend!

I (GG) warn you though! Homestuck is very addictive, so enjoy controllably!

Homestuck has a lot of things going for it. Awesome art and animation and music, funny jokes, lovable characters, a daily update schedule of several pages a day...what's not to like?
The story is very extensive, currently spanning five acts (a sixth in progress) and over 4000 pages. At first the story mainly focuses on four children playing a game called SBURB (that happens to be linked to the end of the world). Despite the website being titled "MS Paint Adventures", all the webcomics (save for the very first picture of Jailbreak, which actually is drawn in Paint) are created in Photoshop, while many of the longer Homestuck animations are done in Flash.

I will tell you, once you start reading Homestuck (and get past Act One), you will quickly become addicted to the engaging story, which as mentioned above, quickly becomes very, very complex, with all sorts of time loops and planets and alchemy and apparently chess? Anyway, I guarantee you that if you take the time to archive binge Homestuck, you will not be disappointed. Not to mention the fact that its fanbase is pretty awesome too.

Personally, I don't see Homestuck so much as a "webcomic" in that it isn't exactly told in comic strips. It's more like "pictures and then dialogue" (you'll see what I mean).

I can't tell you guys too much without ruining too much of the plot, so I'll just leave it at that. Homestuck isn't just a webcomic: it's an experience.

ME GUSTA: Minecraft

Fan art by Jonin600
What happens when you mix three extremely dangerous jobs like ore mining, construction, and zombie hunting? That's right guys, this blog post will be about Minecraft. This game has gained much popularity over the past year and the final version was officially released sometime early November (don't feel like searching the release date). If you've never played before, the object of them game is embedded deeply into the title, so deeply that you must have a degree in cryptography to decipher its message, but even then many scholars fail to understand the full meaning of its concept, sarcasm. The player must mine, craft, repeat. Seems simple enough, but this simple concept has a very addicting sense to it. As a gamer, ever since they still sold Game Boys at Best Buy, I had always dreamed of that one game that was to rule them all. That one game that had the longest story line and takes forever to beat and is hard to master. Apparently Minecraft fits none of these characteristics since it doesn't technically have a story line and therefore cannot be beaten and is relatively easy to play. However, it still is very addictive (just ask me). Forums

Aztec Rave Monkey

Aztec Rave Monkey © Kikiyama, Image from yumenikki.wikia.com
Whoa! What is this seizure inducing graphic image?!

It's the, as dubbed by the fan community, "Aztec Rave Monkey" from the 32 bit freeware computer game Yume Nikki !

One may ask, but what is Yume Nikki? Why do I care that a game has this image in it? WHY CAN'T I STOP STARING AT THIS .GIF?! WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

If you couldn't deduce yourself, Yume Nikki is not simply just an infinite loop of this graphic, it is a Japanese computer game made by the mysterious one man creator "Kikiyama" about dreams (Thus the crazy image, it is like something that is indescribable or enigmatic that one might have appear in their dreams). Filled with graphic images and confusing areas, Yume Nikki has gathered a solid and loyal quiet fanbase.

Such crazy events in the game lead to much speculation, thus a perfect opening for a story is born, right? Yes. After extensive interviewing and playing of the actual game, I have concluded and brought together many a speculation and have posted it as my feature story!

If you're not already intrigued (who isn't?) I have supplied you with a snippet of the story below:

"'[Madotsuki] may not be the character's true name,' the Yume Nikki wiki speculates, 'It could be thought of as being more a description of the character as the player's window into the dream world rather than a literal name. It could also be a way to preserve the game's theme of loneliness by giving the character a functional, dehumanizing name, rather than a personal name.'"

Now all you'll have to do is hold on to your seat and wait in anticipation for our magazine!

TIME FOR A REAL PROCRASTINATION POST (CAPS RAGE STYLE)

                                                              POSTED BY DOUBLEFLY
OK GUYS, UNLIKE THAT OTHER SORRY POST ABOUT PROCRASTINATION THAT HAD LIKE 5 WORDS IN IT, THIS IS GOING TO BE A PREVIEW OF MY FEATURE ARTICLE THAT WILL BE ON THE FINAL ISSUE OF CLICK. ANYWAYS, YOU MIGHT BE FAMILIAR WITH A LITTLE WORD CALLED PROCRASTINATION. IF YOU HAVEN'T, YOU AREN'T HUMAN. SAID PROCRASTINATION CAN CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS IN GRADES AND CAN HAVE US LATE AT NIGHT TRYING TO FINISH OUR PROJECTS WHEN WE SPENT OUR ENTIRE EVENING WATCHING CARTOONS OR PLAYING VIDEO GAMES (MW3). I INTERVIEWED OUR FELLOW FRIEND/STUDENT KEVIN CHAU WHO HAPPILY ANSWERED OUR QUESTIONS FOR THIS ARTICLE. WE WILL BE LOOKING INTO THE WHAT KEVIN DOES WHEN HE PROCRASTINATES AND HOW OFTEN HE PROCRASTINATES.

AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, THIS POST IS IN CAPS LOCK, AKA CAPS RAGE. APART FROM ITS USUAL USE, I'M USING CAPS RAGE NOT BECAUSE I AM ANGRY, BUT BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF MY IMPORTANT POSTS (IDK ABOUT THE OTHER GROUP MEMBERS, MY FEATURE ARTICLE IS PRETTY IMPORTANT TO ME). I LIKE SING CAPS LOCK JUST BECAUSE I HEAR SCREAMING IN MY HEAD WHENEVER I USE IT. TO FINISH OFF THIS BLOG POST, I AM STATING THAT THIS LAST PARAGRAPH ISN'T EVEN RELEVANT TO MY STORY AND IS AN EXAMPLE OF PROCRASTINATION.
