Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
A [chat] Unlike Any Other

how do you think anyone gets into comics, though? like, I started reading Marvels when I was six. I didn't have an encyclopedic command of the history, I just went with what the little text box at the top of the comic said - a couple sentences with the main character's name and what they did, and we were off to the races. a good story will tell you what you need to know in the course of the story.

It automatically goes into the third person when you mine. I play in first person view.
Oh yeah. Gotta bring those suckers in.
There's lots of self-contained books even about popular characters though, they just don't tend to have huge, unending runs.
but this isn't the same as music where a song can be in the charts for weeks and on the radio for months. There's a much quicker turnover for comics and finding (a) useful reviews and information about comics not by Marvel/DC and (b) the actual comics in the store (Maybe I've got a tougher time of this because loleurope) is a pain in the arse.
It's definitely a pasttime with a high time and cost barrier to entry.
It was kind of unsettling but in a good way.
FYI: Not this Uncle Ben.
Love you Uncle Ben
I've seen Bruce Timm draw some naked ladies but never something like that

If you like certain heroes, there are self-contained stories that don't require more than a basic grasp of the character to get into.
Yeah I've seen his nude stuff but this is quite different.
I've met tons and they've all been great, honestly. Particular props to Steve Lieber, JH Williams III, and Zander Cannon. Even legendarily assholish John Byrne was a totally chill dude the time I met him (granted this was still when he had all his teeth and wasn't completely crazy).

It auto-switches, nub
Also, the only "issue" I have with traditional comics (and a lot of archetypal-based writing) in themselves is that, by definition, the characters "have to" (that is, it is expected to) conform to certain identities and behaviors. It feels static, even with reboots and etc. I need my fake people becoming.
This is not true. Like, not even a little bit. Most series don't conclude after one issue. If it's good, people talk about it for months. In particular, they usually talk about it on new comic boom day. If you really want to do this, visit a few publisher's websites, read the blurbs on some comics. Then read reviews on the ones that interest you.
It's really that simple. Anything else is just being lazy.
I just looked on forums for the best self-contained comics and I got like a million recommendations.
Seriously, that's how I got into comic books.

just finished mowing the lawn and there is one muscle right in the center of the small of my back that just hates that.
I'm in Europe and apparently exchange rates don't apply to comics!
edit: And being a part-time working college student doesn't help either.
Even after the exchange rate, I doubt they're breaking the bank. Do you have a smart phone? A tablet? You can get digital comics for a little cheaper, usually.
I lied my way out of hanging out with someone I really didn't want to waste time on by claiming back injury after mowing the lawn yesterday...
OMG!
When I lie, the lie comes real for RiemannLives D:
Sorry duder.
Oh man I forgot to go out last night with my binoculars. Gonna do that now.
Hopefully tonight it is clear.
It's all moony.
FUCK THIS GAY ATMOSPHERE
well, if by "super" you mean the full moon at it's closest possible approach to earth is 14% larger than at its absolute furthest then yes.
The difference is too small for a human to notice by a long way. Though in general any full moon is good times to break out the telescope. This particular one just one be any moreso than usual.
*shiver*
Say it again
slower...
It's all...
mooooony.
Mim that is like the worst part of that man.
I JUDGE YOU
a lot of what i drew was like, scenes from the hunter game we played yesterday
