To Binge (NOT By Gorill@z)

This year has seen me move to a place where my constantly wobbly internet connection was replaced by non-existent internet connection, and to my chagrin this has not yet changed. The obvious downside is that I no longer hae all the information of the web at my fingertips. The obvious benefits are that I've started to use books and notepads a lot more, have with some success "guessworked" the functionality of a Match-3 game, and have one less distraction while trying to actually work on my computer.

Now that I have a nice two-week holiday which I spend in the close vicinity of a computer that HAS constant net access, the old habits once more emerge. Boy have I missed ARCHIVE BINGES. Here are some webcomics I found, rediscovered, and would like to point out for the sheer fun they are.

Spinnerette is basically a parody of Spider-Man, and there are is no shortage of comics that are made by people who wish they'd been the first one to fuse a spider with a human. This one is actually quite different- it takes place in a world where all our superhero comics exist, but where actual superheroes are also very real. This allows for a neat mix of parody and thinking further: We have a nerdy grad student who, by accident, is fused with spider DNA, and then constantly is reminded that superheroes aren't instantly super. The titular Spinnerrette runs into far more problems than old Peter Parker, having six arms and shooting webs from her butt and NOT KNOWING ANYTHING about combat, fighting crime, or keeping a low profile. It's to Spider-Man what Kick Ass (the movie) is to the general superhero universe, a tale with a twist that has some elements of deconstruction and still is surprisingly light-hearted.
Also has an awful lot of shapely women. Not that I'd argue about THAT.

RPG World is extremely old, and some may argue that it looks like BAD ART all the way through, but for any RPG geek is is a lot of fun. Also extremely rich in tropes and general jokes about game mechanics. I'm not through the archives yet but KNOW that the plot was abandoned, so this is an archive binge that will hit a wall at some point- but you know that you can make it through.

Eerie Cuties surprised me mostly with the art, which is very good, and a lot of rather well-made characters despite the fact that the comic is relatively new. An overdose of anime girls will not go well with many readers, but this is really good stuff. I mean, how often do you see a vampire who, being born on Easter, refuses to drink or eat anything but chocolate?
