Recommend me a webcomic.

[ShindoL Shill]

Questionable Content.

If you REALLY want a webcomic about games, how about one set INSIDE a game: Homestuck.

 

[Fractral]

And for general nerdery and science jokes, you can't go wrong with XKCD [http://xkcd.com/].

While its safe to assume that due to the OP actually being on this forum that they are slightly nerdy, XKCD does require a lot of nerdiness to understand it and find it funny. I often find that I'm totally perplexed by the jokes Randall makes- I simply don't understand them. Also, he's been getting a lot less funny recently. Still worth a read, though. Its the only webcomic I regularly read.

Now see, the main two I follow are the Nerdings of Zach Weiner in SMBC and the dark humor of Cyanide and Happiness.

Some others I follow are:

Awkward Zombie and the Punchline is Machismo, which someone has already linked so I'm not going to bother.
I check Order of the Stick from time to time too, people don't like the way it is going but I'm fine with it. I just wish he updated more than once a century.

Nefnow has been said twice, I give it my vote. The guy provides some fair gaming commentary as a bonus.

Also Sinfest, which is inspired by (but very different from) Calvin and Hobbes.

Tales of the Questor- Don't be put of by the... religious themes in the first few parts, it's a great fantasy story.

On the contrary, having a religious-themed webcomic (especially one that's actually good on top of that) is a great counterweight to the dozens of webcomics that make a point of secularism.

On topic: Girl Genius. Nerf NOW! Schlock Mercenary. Starslip.

That should keep you busy for a few eons.

I pity the fool who doesn't read Least I Could Do. It's written by Ryan Sohmer and Lar DeSouza, both of who are pretty cool people, and tell the story of a promiscuous man-child named Ryan Summers. It's also gets quality updates on a daily basis, as it's a part of Blind Ferret Entertainment (which Sohmer is vice president of).

http://lfgcomic.com/ is another comic by the same guys and also a part of Blind Ferret, only that this one's a D&D-esque fantasy adventure that updates Tuesdays and Thursdays.

8-bit theater. the only webcomic that I know of that is both a sprite comic worth reading and a finished story-based webcomic.

Cyanide and Happiness. the closest thing to a webcomic written by matt stone and trey parker.

XKCD. a very sciency humor webcomic.

SMBC. a perfect blend of C&H and XKCD.

 

[Isalan]

Least I Could Do is generally worth a look, plus daily updates are nice.

Other than that, stuff thats been already mentioned VGCats, XKCD and Dark Legacy are all worth a look.

I fucking love that shit.

Spoiler: A free sample. I mean, the webcomic is free, too, but I linked it here free of charge.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

8-bit theater. the only webcomic that I know of that is both a sprite comic worth reading and a finished story-based webcomic.

This one isn't finished, but it's still pretty funny and has a decent, if tough-to-follow, plot. (Contains a lot of rude language.)

I present to you Captain SNES: The Game Masta (page one).

 

[Mordekaien]

Try Manly Guys Doing Manly Things. It is 150% more epic than any other webcomic on the internet.

Heed this man for he speaks the truth!

on a side note, Order of the Stick at www.giantitp.com

 

[Agow95]

http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/71
It a gaming comic making fun of the stereotypical Macho game characters, about a hundred comics in they start a story arc, also
http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots.html
Order Of the Stick, it makes fun of DnD rules, with a story arc beginning very early on, if you don't understand them at all it still has enough explanation and other jokes to enjoy
Edit: Bloody Hell, the two posters above me said the same damn things

I can recommend something to never read. Homestuck. Never go near it. And if anyone claims to like it, they don't know good.

But homestuck is amazing and many people do enjoy it. What if the OP is one of them? I honestly do recommend homestuck. The first 90 pages are completely boring but its worth getting past them. Its long. Very long. But the reward for sticking with it is great. It might appeal to you mr OP. Id reccomend you give it a go. If it isnt for you fair enough but its very well liked by its fans. I found parts of homestuck hiliarious.

 

[splayfoot1]

If you've played WoW flintlockes guide to azeroth [http://au.pc.gamespy.com/articles/578/578734p1.html] is pretty hilarious. Its finished now so if your just looking for something to read once its great.

aside from that, I agree with xkcd, lfgcomic, awkwardzombie... all brilliant.

Oh my a thread about webcomics? Let me open my favourites bar and jus- woah ho, how did I read this many? Ok, we'll go with my favourites

1) Homestuck. If you stick with it you'll discover what is, in my opinion, the greatest work of fiction placed upon this earth, and I've read hundreds of books and dozens of webcomics.

2) Dresden Codak. Gorgeous art. Gorgeous nerdisms. Gorgeous creator. The most science filled webcomic I've ever read, and it's update schedule is like once a month but worth the wait.

3)Achewood. Alcoholic cats. Retarded stuffed otters. The Great Outdoor Fight. Mexican cameras that show how what you think of yourself. Named after a slave brew that caused depression and brain damage. Genius.

4) A Lesson is Learned but the Damage is Irreversible. Forget everything you learned about comics, plotting, continuity and logic. Make everything look like Braid. ?????? Profit!

5) Nedroid. The friendliest comic ever made, a bird called Reginald and his best friend Beartato have fun adventures, occasionally with Harrison the shark and Gary the robot, it's the nicest thing you'll read all day.

"Yahtzee takes on the world" is pretty good. It's The escapist's very own Zero Puncuatuation's old webcomic. It's not still going, but it's pretty good. I read though it in one afternoon, and thought it was great.
Here.
Have a link.

Seconding Dresden Codak and Nedroid.
