Megatokyo

Postby Riyo-Chan » Thu Aug 31, 2006 6:55 pm

This is a web comic called Megatokyo. I can't really describe things well :P but it is definitely one worth reading I believe.

Why I do believe I've seen a topic like this before. :D

Look down toward the bottom of the screen.

Heh, the similar threads are actually similar in this case. Or, you could argue that they aren't because "similar" implies having some differences.

To be on topic: I read Megatokyo.

i used to read it off the net like two years ago but then they released it in graphic novel form and i suddenly lost interest in the series. the series became very unusual and it wasn't the type of manga i enjoyed as i found out after about two volumes.

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

901 so far. It'll be 902 this coming Monday.

I personally liked both the "funny" MT days and the newer "shoujo" tack the comics taking. I think it's unfair to say one's "good" and the other "bad", since they're two different genres. That said, if you like the funny, this last strip [901] is definitely for you. Go check it out.

Long time die hard Megatokyo fan over here! *jumps and waves*

People are entitled to there own opinions but I love the series and think it got better after Fred and Rodney parted. I want an 3v1l l33t hoodie so bad.

And yes, I have no life.
Will insert something intelligent here later... maybe

\/\/007!!!! /\/\3g@70ky0 r0x0r!!! Sorry, just had to get that out. I like both varieties of the series, the earlier pure goofy stuff and the more recent geek soap opera stuff, but they could mix in a bit more of the old school goofy.

Not for everyone, as the whole focus of the humor is mostly centered on obscure gaming jokes, but it's pretty clever and has good writing as well. If not for the occasional crudity, I'd say it's one of the best webcomics out there.

The url still appears to be correct and it works for me. Is it possible it was a temporary internet problem? It could be your connection or possible the site, as they are working with servers right now.
