I think I’ve mentioned it on this site before, but I’ve never gotten into MMORPGs. Oh, I’ve played RPGs that bear striking similarities to to modern MMORPGs. I’ve played my share of Ultimas and Final Fantasys and Dragon Ages and … Continue reading →

09/11/11--23:28: The Webcomic Overlook #183: Turbo Defiant Kimecan (chan 1198849)

It’s been almost a decade since I’ve last watched anime. At some point, I think, I just got too old. I began prioritizing artistic and storytelling cues that anime was just not delivering. The characters were just too … young … Continue reading →

09/15/11--23:16: The Webcomic Overlook #184: Cucumber Quest (chan 1198849)

The artwork for Gigi Digi’s Cucumber Quest is so adorable that you start to wonder why this isn’t a webcomic that has a hundred different kinds of t-shirts on display in its virtual storefront. In an alternate universe, shirts sporting … Continue reading →

“But wait, El Santo,” you say. “Aren’t you taking a break?” I know. I’ve got to admit something to you: I’m terrible at this whole taking a break thing. And the worst part of it is… I’m breaking hiatus for … Continue reading →

12/06/11--19:34: The Webcomic Overlook #187: Clandestinauts (chan 1198849)

It sometimes astounds me how many posts I’ve devoted to webcomics. It’s, like, more than “a lot” and just short of “a buttload.” The peril, at this point, is that sometimes you run the risk of saying the exact same … Continue reading →

12/15/11--12:01: The Webcomic Overlook #189: Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant (chan 1198849)

There are two ends of the reviewing spectrum that make me a bit nervous. The first, as I mentioned in the previous review, is when a webcomic looks so amateur that you’re a bit hesitant to talk about it. Then … Continue reading →

12/20/11--10:51: The Webcomic Overlook #190: Mokepon (chan 1198849)

It would probably be fair to say that I was too old to get into the whole Pokemon phenomenon. Oh, I watched the episodes when they first aired on the Kid’s WB. I did have a younger brother and sister … Continue reading →

01/09/12--23:43: One Punch Reviews #54: Power Nap (chan 1198849)

Every time I come across a reference to Maritza Campos’ Power Nap, there’s always a reference to College Roomies From Hell. I’ve never read that comic. I suspect it’s a blind spot that will prove to be my undoing, like … Continue reading →

01/13/12--09:22: The Webcomic Overlook #191: Lady Sabre and the Pirates of the Ineffable Aether (chan 1198849)

Greg Rucka is the sort of comic book creator who’s developed quite a reputation for writing strong female characters. I mean, real strong female characters. Not the unrepentant cheesecake masquerading as feminism that Kate Beaton famously mocked that studios like … Continue reading →

01/27/12--10:05: The Webcomic Overlook #192: 2D Goggles (chan 1198849)

Through its relatively short lifespan as a genre, webcomics have proved they can do things just as good as any other form of media can. They can make you laugh. They can make you cry. They can make you poo … Continue reading →
