Webcomics & Webseries

The internet is truly a wonderful place, and I honestly think it gives so much opportunity to people who wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to be published or seen by a large audience. Today its pretty common to hear of people that started something as an idea between friends or a small school project, and it ended up becoming a household name around the world, some examples - facebook - southpark - google. So when i come across something i like, i enjoy sharing it with others :)

A website I visit pretty often has to be The Escapist. Most gamers would know of this site, but there still are a lot of people out there who simply never heard of it. Besides the articles and the polls and the general game banter that goes on, my favourite 2 segments must be: Zero Punctuation by the world famous Yahtzee, and something i really look forward to seeing is Doraleous and Associates.

Zero punctuation is something for gamers, as they would really understand what he's talking about, anyone else would just be really confused in a real short time. Doraleous however is something anyone can follow, and is an incredibly entertaining story.

Another absolutely fantastic webseries must be The Legend of Niel. This is a really funny and brilliantly made Zelda parody that has just started season 3. So if you have half an hour to spare, you could probably watch them all and get up to date.

For those who prefer reading than watching and listening, i really enjoy following the story of Looking for Group. I fell in love with this series as it is loosely based on WoW and it also tickles my dark sinister side with Richard's humour. Its been going on for a while, and the story is getting better and better.

Now, for all those chauvinistic men out there, i got the perfect comic for you :). Its called Least I Could Do. I must warn you, if anyone gets offended easily by sexist jokes, this is not the comic for you, and its been going on since 2003, so there is a lot to read :)

And last but not least, some NSFW content ;) Oglaf is something by adults for adults. There is no recurring theme, no real plot, just a sunday evening treat :)

Thats if for now. There are some other webcomics i follow, but i'll give them a mention some other day :)
