Why can't they just do 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9? Srs qestyun.

Wings of Fire 02-17-2012 06:03 AM

Because there is no nine.

STM 02-17-2012 06:09 AM

Okay so why not 1-8?

There’s also only one eight.

Okay

Firstly, without even bringing cultural differences into it, the comic is arranged in blocks of four panels. You read one block then move on to the next. So it's always going to be 1-3-5-7-2-4-6-8 or the other way round.

Secondly, Japanese and Chinese style writing is traditionally done reading up to down, right to left rather than left to right, up to down. I put those arrows in for a reason.

STM 02-17-2012 06:28 AM

Makes sense.

MeechMunchie 02-17-2012 06:29 AM

I wasn't confused when I read it (having seen it fifty fucktillion times before on TVTropes), but I am now.

MA 02-17-2012 08:46 AM

god fucking damn it. why do they have to make it so anal? why can't those filthy Jap heathens just make a cartoon you read from left to fucking right, top to bastard, pissing bottom? instead of upside down and inside friggin out, to the left three spaces then down one before referencing to the Big Book Of Fucking Useless Jap Shit on how to finish reading it. can't they just be fucking normal? then i might actually read one.

i'm joking, of course. i read it again and sort of got it.

MeechMunchie 02-17-2012 08:54 AM

Right to left is fine by me. Top to bottom first seems weird though, since we've got horizontally aligned vision.

OANST 02-17-2012 09:15 AM

Also, why couldn't it have been funny or interesting?

Varrok 02-17-2012 09:19 AM

Can't say that WoF's got a very sophisticated sense of humor

MA 02-17-2012 09:20 AM

LOL good one!

MeechMunchie 02-17-2012 11:02 AM

Varrok's the big dawg now.

I have a very broad sense of humour. If I can't laugh at something, it's bad.

Also fuck you.

I'm so glad he's not working on Minecraft anymore... Jeb is doing a much better job than Notch ever did.

STM 02-18-2012 07:12 AM

How do you reach that conclusion? Jeb's only made two releases or something, Notch pioneered the most explosive indie game in the history of computer gaming. I figure they're on par maybe.

MeechMunchie 02-18-2012 07:17 AM

Aww.

I think the difference is that:

Notch came up with a great concept for a game, but spent a lot of time dicking around on holiday, and towards the end of development spent a lot of time and energy adding superfluous objects to the game and releasing buggy updates.

Meanwhile, Jeb’s work has mostly been fixing bugs and adding really great stuff that people have been wanting for a long time.

STM 02-18-2012 08:26 AM

Ah well, can't win 'em all.

Also: http://people.ambrosiasw.com/~andrew...loodcyber.html << Hilarious, sort of failed sexting.

MeechMunchie 02-18-2012 12:15 PM

Oh my God, a new height of trolling. Incredible.

Also, an observation: I really hate Harvard referencing.

I never actually suggested anything of the sort Mr. Sarcastic. Unless you're being serious, in which case...it's just sexting isn't it? Ughh, I need more sleeeep.

Bloodninja is clearly a troll, and a rather good one.

STM 02-19-2012 05:31 AM

Ah. Good, then.

MeechMunchie 02-19-2012 09:37 AM

I don't get it.

Wings of Fire 02-19-2012 09:38 AM

I was being sarcastically sarcastic.

STM 02-19-2012 10:03 AM

What's sarcasm?

MeechMunchie 02-19-2012 10:35 AM

Your mother.

Wings of Fire 02-19-2012 10:56 AM

Don't get fresh with me, son.

MeechMunchie 02-19-2012 11:32 AM

I know you are, but what am I?

MA 02-19-2012 01:05 PM

abacus.

MeechMunchie 02-19-2012 01:53 PM

No, you did abacus. As opposed to calculus.

Okay, then there's this.

That guy is a Christian Apologist. My understanding of the term is that Apologists pore over Biblical history to set the record straight get a clear meaning on everything the Bible says. The name is misleading, however, because more often then not they're a pack of childish fucking assholes, like that guy up there.

Beyond the Apple Commercial grayscale appearance of the whole thing (used to hide the advanced age of Asshole Supreme up thurr) this video is basically a bored, miserable old man saying that the Bible justifies hatred of anyone who doesn't think like him. All possible counter arguments (voiced by him) are presented as childish, whining squeals. And he's not acting like a fucking ten year old girl just to spew ichor at say, Atheists or Agnostics, which would at least make some sense to me. Nope, he is actually saying that people who say that God loves everyone are fools and heretics and burning in hell. Such an asshole.

STM 02-20-2012 06:53 AM

I feel mine is more light hearted.
