This is one of those WoW specific jokes that I’m doomed not to get. As far as I know about WoW, (which is still enough for decent conversation), there are better jokes to be made, specifically jokes that non-WoW players would get. I think this just leads into a growing problem I’m finding: WoW is wearing thin for comedy. This is one of three WoW strips from you in under a month. That’s a bit excessive. Sure it got featured by WoW itself, but that doesn’t mean more WoW comics must then follow. Do you want to be a WoW only web comic? Then devote your energy there. However, it seems you would like to be a web comic that isn’t restricted by much, so why limit yourself to one game consistently? I’ve made comments thus far on two other WoW comics, two “plot” comics, and a Monkey Island/plot comic. Half of the last six have been WoW comics. Diversify, please. Or keep mining WoW jokes. Maybe you’ll cast Buff of Timeliness and the jokes will still be funny years later, but right now I’ll just Bubble Hearth my way out of here.
Parade, for all of your vaunted criticism, you haven’t yet succeeded in saying anything funny, even when you try. Has it ever occurred to you that different people have different fixations, and that different people find different things funny? Your fixation is clearly your ability to pull better webcomics out of your ass, an example of which I’m still patiently waiting to see.
I think you’re missing a few points I’m making. I don’t intend to make a webcomic of my own because I cannot draw because, well, I’m not an artist and I don’t preted to be. I rarely make any negative comments about the artwork here, only the writing since I’m a writer. I actually think this comic is well drawn, it just doesn’t strike me as funny as often as I’d like.
Also, I don’t expect anyone to find me funny, nor do I really care if I’m coming off as funny or not. I’ve had people tell me that what I’ve written is funny and seen them laugh in real life as a direct result to my comments, but I’m not trying to make hilarious jokes. I’m trying to form well-worded critiques at something like 5 am.
I do also realize that everyone has different tastes and not all of them are going to match up with mine. So what? It’s important to know who doesn’t enjoy something as much as when someone does. Otherwise you get one viewpoint and there’s no chance to see the other side. I’ve already talked to Locke and Encifer about why I’m being such a jerk and it’s mostly becuase I’m a fan and I want them to know my opinion since it’s still possible for them to respond to individual comments before the site gets too large for that to happen. I’ve given my thoughts on these comics and I don’t expect any of them to be really listened to, I’m just making suggestions. Part of my “lame examples” of what I’d do aren’t funny because I’m working within the limitations of the comic themselves and my style doesn’t match perfectly, (i.e. no cursing, no taking dangerous risks). Also, these suggestions are coming from 5 am.
Thank you for waiting patiently for my hilarious ass-based webcomics though. I appreciate it. Nice to know I have a die-hard fan before I even mention I’m starting.
In short, I never got under myself. I’m just killing time.

actualli it’s very usefull if u’r farming clams in an area full of enemy players so u can run on your mount or just remain stealthed
