Title: Wigu
Post by: EUOL on April 12, 2004, 08:29:00 AM
Hey, how'd I miss this?  When did a webcomic review get posted, and who wrote it?

It was for a contest a month and a half ago that Fell did.

That doesn't help a whole lot, Sprig.  What was the contest?  I assume it was a 'submit a review' contest?

Yep, mainly becasue the contest before that was write a WW2 RPG setting and get a free game.  And we all thout that was too time comsumeing.

Write a webcomic review and submit it with your email, and we shall send you a rather crap RTS.

I think there was only 1 entry :(

Hehe, you know I never did ask Fell how many submissoins there were.

Dang.  I HATE having a sudden '5.5' webcomic review pop up.  Having a comic's fan (or maybe even creator) write a review and just post it throws off the credibility of the entire section.

Not that it wasn't Fell's prerogative to post this, but I really hope that the comic is worth it's score.  That's more than we gave 8-BIT THEATER, which is one of the finest webcomics ever made.  (I intend to bump that one up, by the way.)  But still, a 5.5?  That's claiming that this comic is only a half-clock down from SLUGGY and PVP--which I seriously doubt is the case.

Well that's what happens when you ask for webcomic submissions.  Especialy when the person has different taste/stanaderds then you.

I would submit that Wigu isn't THAT good, though it's pretty solid. He gets a good 4.5 in my book.

And you missed it by not paying attention.

I submitted one too, but then yanked my submission because the cartoonist changed his comic immediately afterward and invalidated most of my complaints.

I still intend to re-write it.

Hey, you can't see every forum topic.  Also, I sometimes miss things on the main page.

As I read every forum topic, I have to say, yes, you can in fact see every forum topic.

Don't make me put you in the corner, bucko.

/me backs the Koala Beater on this one.

I too, read every forum topic. Well, no, the spam ones from a few weeks ago I opened to have marked as read, but I didn't really read them.

Even the forum RPG games you don't participate in?  Or, are you part of those?  And, you read all of the tabletop and the ccg threads?  I'm impressed.  I generally ignore topics that cover games I don't play.  Of course, I don't work a day job where I can surf the internet.

yup, all of 'em. The ones still "active" post infrequently enough that I almost click on them before I even think about it.

All I can say is that you're obviously in the right place.  I bow before your l33t time-wasting skillz.

Ok, I don't read all the forum games I'm not in. I never read AORP, for example, or Patriot City, but I do read Back for Seconds despite not being in it.

Also, I read every section, because while I don't play every type of game often, I do like all of them. (I play RPGs and Video Games a lot, I read Tabletop for the Clix and I do play CCG a bit as of recently.)
