Slashdot Mirror

My favorite web comic for several years has been Looking for Group

Kinda like this guy? http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/3

I'm a BEARLOCK now!

cleaning public property doesn't entitle you to it.

Actually, in some states this isn't true. The process is called "Homesteading."

In my home state, when property is laid out it is common to leave a "right of way" area to make sure public works can get to things like coulées to maintain them. This "right of way" area is technically owned by the local government, but they usually don't bother to maintain it unless someone complains. If a home-owner cares for the land, after a certain period of time they can extend their property line onto it legally, as long as some allowance was still made to ensure the work crews could still reach the area they needed to. For my grandfather, this meant he mowed the grass there for a few years, then he moved his fence back onto that property and just installed a gate big enough for a truck to drive through.

Now, other than that, I agree with you. It's Blizzard's ball, they can decide to take it and go home, no matter how much effort you put into playing with it or making it "better". It's all spelled out in contract and honestly should be common sense.

The only case I might disagree is if someone like Blizzard started laying claim to creative works that came out of your playing of the game... For instance, some really cool fantasy stories have come out of people's home-grown D&D campaigns. It'd be a real shame if someone took their character concepts from an MMO, developed a storyline from it that obviously took influences from the original work, but didn't actually infringe upon its copyright, and then found said company claiming that they now owned this "derivative" work because of some silliness in the EULA. Luckily for those guys, Blizzard doesn't seem interested in doing that... But I wouldn't put it past SOE, for instance...

If your parents were foolish enough to give you a more archaic name like "John" or "Richard", have your name changed.

Lies Richard is an awsome name.

He's a roll model for all warlocks.

Actually, we both were wrong. Bearing arms only applies to Bearlocks.

The word you want is "sociopathic".

I don't use RSS feeds for webcomics, so here is the set of pages I regularly visit:
XKCD We probably all know this one.
Cyanide and Happiness Somewhat twisted humour.
Errant Story Excellent art and storyline.
Bunny Strange humour about bunnies.
QC Indy rock comic of social interaction.
Megatokyo Megatokyo. Has gone downhill in recent years, but still good art.
Penny Arcade Gamer comic, quite famous.
PBF Perry Bible Fellowship hasn't updated in some time, but very funny when he does.
Edible Dirt is a series of single-panel jokes. Very funny, often somewhat twisted.
Ctrl-Alt-Del is a comic about a few gamer roomates.
LFG WoW/MMO/D&D spoof. Quite funny, good art, interesting plot. Many references break the 4th wall.
Two-Lumps is a comic about cats, 1 smart, 1 very, very dumb. I think the artist is stalking my cat to get ideas for the dumb one.
Gunnerkrigg Court Beautiful art, excellent story. And robots.
underpower hasn't updated in some time, great single-page art pieces recently and an actual story before.
Girl Genius is all about Mad Science.
Bunny System is a comic about psychotic rabbits.
Something Positive is very, very cynical. It actually has 5 webcomics on 1 page. Very much worth checking out.
Head Trip is... a head trip.
FLEM hasn't updated in a while, and has a strange and rather violent storyline. Back to single-panel shorts now.
VGCats video game cats is excellent, if you play video games.
Clan of the Cats Author is going blind, will continue if she gets better. Great story and art.
Dr. McNinja The adventures of Dr. McNinja. Clean art, good story, ninjas on fire.
Code Name: Hunter Magic/technology interaction in a world strangely dominated by talking animals. Excellent facial expressions, especially for being animals.
Awkward Zombie gamer comic similar to vgcats.
No Need for Bushido Samurai story, well drawn and reasonably well written.
Giant ITP hosts both The Order of The Stick, a D&D spoof, and The Battle For Gobwin Knob, a comic about a GM who gets sucked into a world of his own design, on the losing side of a no-win scenario.
Last Blood Zombies have taken over the earth and killed nearly all humans, so now the vampires fight to protect their dwindling food source. Excellent drawing and unique story.
Chopping Block Butch the serial killer. Sick, twisted humour, but very funny.
Dominic Deegan Oracle for Hire, is a good story with pretty good art.
The Traveling Gnome Great art, story seems good so far.
One-Liners may be offensive to some, or funny to those with a sense of humour.

I wish to stab him.

World of Warcraft has a remarkably rich universe and there's a lot of room for good storytelling. While there are several webcomics based on WoW already (LFG is a relatively professional example), there's something to be said for honest to goodness paper media. It's good to see that even an inherently tech subject matter can still make its way into physical print, and it's even better to see it done by an experienced writer like Walter Simonson.

If you want a comic based in the World of Warcraft world (well, ok, loosely based in the WoW world), I suggest http://www.lfgcomic.com/. Its a humorous comic called Looking For Group. Its pretty damn good. It gets its characters from WoW more than it does the world or plotline. I suggest reading it from the beginning, the story arcs are pretty damn good.

FOR PONY!
