HomeStruck

 This entry was inevitable, really. Getting into a web-epic soap opera like Homestuck makes it hard to resist spouting incomprehensible plot-jargon at every poor soul close to you. But let's face it. This shit's just too damn nerdy for civilized conversation. And that's what the Blog was invented for.

What is Homestuck?
This is the part where I pop on my hipster glasses, sniff smugly, and say,"It's really obscure, and you've probably never heard of it." Maybe I'll get ballsy and add,"It's probably too much for your attention span."
Too smug for you? I guess there's always this:

I got sucked into Homestuck by chance. It frequently pops up on Deviantart and 4chan, so I couldn't help but note its intrigue. But this wasn't enough to get me off my lazy ass and check it out. I actually stumbled the first page, so I gave it a try. At first I stuck with it because I wasn't taking it seriously. I pretty much just read when I was bored, and skipped any pages I found confusing/boring. It was just funny, clever, and entertaining. As I kept reading, shit went on to get more real than you could possibly imagine. Soon I couldn't look away.

You never know what you're going to get. The comic takes itself "one panel per page". But a "panel" of Homestuck can be anything from a crappy MS Paint drawing to a full-blown flash video to an interactive game.
It's drawback is that it takes patience and a genuine attention span to understand fully. Once the story picks up, it's like an internet version of LOST, confusing but compelling.

It also manages to make "a softer world" not seem so gay
