Homestuck

It's a webcomic about 4 kids playing a game.

Oh yeah, and the game makes meteors appear from one of many alternate dimensions. Said meteors then start falling towards the kids' houses and weird countdowns appear on their computer screens. It only gets more confusing with time travel, paradoxes, and callbacks to pages from years ago.

"So a seemingly insignificant item from the beginning of the story is suddenly and literally RAGE'd into existence by a bloodthirsty purple alien juggalo, and the very same item connects randomly and equally insignificant-looking events to explain the cause of pretty much every bad thing in the story.
And it was all Betty Crocker's doing, because she tweeted an ICP video to a time traveling hipster wannabe on a site called Delirious Biznasty. In the past. Also, she's an alien too.
For those keeping score at home, this made things less confusing.
Welcome to Homestuck."

The main comic is here, and the author's previous, slightly less confusing comic is here. Act 1 seems boring at first, but it does get better. Whatever you do, DO NOT SKIP ANY OF THE COMIC. It makes a lot of the later panels seem nonsensical and it's not worth it.
-------
In-comic, the kids use a chat client called Pesterchum, and some fans have made it into an actual program. You can download it here. My handle is arcaneCynic, so add me. I'm interested to see your reactions to the story.

Re: Homestuck

frankly, i hate it. it doesn't have the carefree, fun nature of mspa, and i doubt that will ever come back. also, the fandom makes me wanna puke. problem sleuth is what you should read if you just want some laughs and happiness.

Problem Sleuth was good, but it didn't last long enough, and I don't see what you mean about Homestuck not having a carefree nature. The reason Problem Sleuth did have that "carefree nature" is that readers submitted every command. In Homestuck, Hussie could actually write the story without having to pick one of the readers' suggestions, and the story runs so much better now, especially because he can introduce new characters without shippers mobbing him with [S]DIRKJAKE.

Homestuck is pretty cool.

I just got home and realized that Hussie posted like 60 pages in one day.

Wow.

Re: Homestuck

I used to read Homestuck but lost interest a long way into it. Problem Sleuth and Jailbreak are much better in my opinion but because of how popular it is I guess things like that won't happen anymore.

Re: Homestuck

I just started reading Homestuck a little less than an hour ago. I just finished act one, and I just don't know how I feel about it yet. Seems interesting.

Re: Homestuck

it has good parts to it. i loved the intermission (though that's more in they style of problem sleuth and stars ps characters) and also the last part of act 2 with wv. i stopped reading when it got to all those f***ing trolls. those things just **** me off, and i got bored and decided i wouldn't read the story if they were going to be main characters through the rest of it.
