Destination Procrastination: The webcomic edition

Posted on Friday 5 January 2007

My 2 February move deadline is quickly approaching, which means that I’m spending much more time frittering away my free time, instead of working on what I should be, namely, finding a home in AZ.

Some of my current webcomic timewasters:

  • little gamers link logo
  • I have no idea what draws me to this little webcomic. Is it early-onset nostalgia of my younger years mashing buttons guiding a little Mario avatar? Is it some allure of nerdy counter-culture? Or my penchant for heavily-outlined, simplified renderings of alternate realities, a.k.a. “comics”?

    Who knows, who cares. This hilarious webcomic comes straight outta Sweden and onto your favorite webrowser–is that a word? no, but it should be. It’s now a part of my daily webcomics roundup. Creators Pontus & Mr. Masden put it this way: it’s “Hot Swedish love and pwntendo.” Indeed.

    Word to the wise: don’t try to read all of the archives in one night. If you’re afraid of some risqué topics or a few f-bombs, you probably shouldn’t visit.

  • gaygamer.net logo as linkbanner
  • Suggestive Mario fanartWhatever draws me to little gamers also makes gaygamer.net irresistable, image over there notwithstanding. (Mario image attribution: Ismael Alvarez via gaygamer.net–beware, his website is in spanish and NSFW!)

    Several contributors to the blog-formatted site submit their favorites from their rovings of other gamer blogs & YouTube. (They’re the ones who led me to little gamers.) They also contribute original material. Of course, since their HQ is GayGamer Castle, there is an obvious slant. You don’t get a tagline like: “For boys who like boys who like joysticks!” for nothin’.

  • Jennie Breeden’s webcomics
  • Have I mentioned her before? I should have. She’s the author of two webcomics:

      linkbanner for the devil's panties: it's not satanic porn.

    1. The Devil’s Panties
    2. is a gamer & cartooning webcomic based in real life. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s PG-13 and mostly harmless. Unless you’re afraid of men in kilts and a leafblower. Just don’t tease her about the god-awful spelling.

    3. Geebas on Parade
    4. is a SOLAR/LARPing webcomic. It was this site that led me to gaygamer.net. I really have no allure to this idea, except for weird people doing what they’re passionate about on what is considered the fringe of “normal.”

    That’s enough for today. No more time for blogging. I’m looking for an apartment.
