    I didn't like Achewood, then I read the entire archives and realized how awesome it is.

    do achewood detractors at least acknowledge that it has some inherent quality/effort in it?

    or do you think it's as insipid as CAD or whatnot

    I acknowledge that there is art.

    I just do not see it as humor.

    So, is it possible to adapt Apples to Apples to practice passive-voice and/or comparitive phrases? IE, "X is more (adjective) than Y" sort of stuff.

    I have some ideas already, but was curious if anyone might have a better one (as my ideas typically suck).

    Then I found out she was 14.

    Hm.

    So. You get with that?

    I think that just about every webcomic has some sort of inherent quality or effort implied. Some have quality I can appreciate (like Penny Arcade). Achewood doesn't strike me as funny. Sometimes I smile at the unique voice (sentence formation, I mean) he gives his characters, but rarely do I actually go "ahaha that was clever and good!". I just find it a little endearing but not impressive or 'good' at all.

    There are a handful of achewoods I find really funny, most I think really miss the mark, however.

    I know! Hence, I really want to introduce it to Japan. But, I told my teacher I'd try to review some grammar at least.

    Hm... maybe I could just have them play it for fun at the end of class...

    How did it go? One stack of "adjective" cards and then a whole shitton of "noun" cards?

    I think so, I only played it once, and I was kinda drunk at the time.

    I used to like Achewood in a general sense, but as both it and I have grown older I've found that I find more and more of the strips -- both recent ones, and older ones -- to not even be worth reading. There are still some Achewoods I really like, but even the ones I like most have fallen out of favor in some non-zero amount. I mean, on the other hand, I stopped following all of the webcomics I used to, except for Penny-Arcade. So maybe it's just me.

    Shit like this always confuses me. Aren't they basically selling something that is supposed to make people do things against their will?

    I mean, even if it doesn't work, what kind of demographic are they marketing to?

    I read something about promising results like what they claim to be able to do.

    Terrifying, really.

    Yeah, I only read PA.

    Well, I'm also reading this grunkriegger court thing or whatever.

    I just finished like..chapter 14?

    It's finally getting to the point where I don't feel like stabbing myself in the brain as I read it.

    It's gotten to the point I really like Fluxx if we've got a couple sets or some homemade cards shuffled in too. The base game isn't wonky enough. I'm still always up for it though, or Chrononauts. :D

    Yes, and the terrible writing, completely unrealistic dialogue, characters that can not be remotely related to and a plot that can be best called meandering.

    Oh, also the art is pretty shit, though it's slowly getting better.
