Pick a webcomic, any webcomic. In about 99% of them, you'll notice one thing: there are more balloons than at Richie Rich's birthday party. This is why webcomic artists are idiots (and if any of you out there happen to be webcomic writers, the only way you could possibly make me apologize is to show that you haven't made the same mistakes.) Comics are a visual medium first and foremost; if I wanted to get some humor out of a ton of writing, I'd read a humor column. But I'm looking at the comics page in the newspaper, so there should not be enough text to make a Webster's dictionary blush.

This is what you'll notice about comics in the newspapers. Unless the comic is meant to be funny because there's a mountain of text, you won't see a Mount Everest of words. Webcomics are the "War and Peace" of the funnies; they simply have too much text. Words are good. If they weren't, I'd be out of a job.

Paintings are a visual medium. Imagine if Leonardo Da Vinci decided to write little notes on the Mona Lisa; "Observe how the background here is raised more than the other side." And he continues to explain why in roughly two paragraphs. Is that a good idea? No it is not. While comics are built almost equally on words, words should not grow a funny mustache, put on a red arm-band, and proceed to start a death campaign against pictures.

Webcomic artists are morons. Why? Because they write too much. If you need to write a seven-book series about a black-haired wizard with ginormous glasses who suddenly becomes emotionally unstable from the fifth installment on just to make the comic funny, your comic sucks. Throw it out and start again, and make sure there's about 95% less dialogue. Problem solved, Ctrl Alt Delete.

Well, first thing's first. I got to writing another review, which is of 5 Days A Stranger. It's a horror-themed adventure game designed by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, who you may know as the man behind Zero Punctuation. I gave the game an 8, because I really, really liked it. The review can be found by clicking on the above image, and you can download the game here. I'd like some feedback on my review, too, if you don't mind.

My announcement would be this: sorry, but I'm not longer going to be writing my blogs in their previous format. I'd like to get blogs up as often as possible, and those ones just take too long to make. It was fun while it lasted, I guess.

And here's the random story. Some time ago, I was with my family going to see Monster House at the cinema. The theater was basically empty. We had our popcorn, our drinks....the whole she-bang. We were ready to see the movie, which I had heard some good things about from friends. Well....remember when I said the whole theater was empty? A group of people came in, and out of the whole entire theater, do you know where they chose to sit? Directly in front of us. A whole empty theater, and they say to themselves "let's sit in front of somebody." Now, I've never met these people but let me say this: if I could post a picture of my middle finger without getting busted by the mods (that includes you PAJ, darn you!), I would. Seriously, this is the very definition of being completely and utterly stupid or just plain rude. Had half a mind to ask them why, of all places, they had to be in front of us. In retrospect, I probably should have, too.

Well, I deleted my previous blog post since I had the text at the wrong size, so it was rather huge for no reason, really. Anyway, this is just a small blog post to show you my review of Bully: Scholarship Edition on the Wii, which I gave an 8. I'd really appreciate feedback on this one (both good and bad), since I tried to review it differently, structuring it on what I experienced instead of saying what you're going to experience. I didn't give it a read-through, so please let me know if there's any errors. Right now I'm busy putting Psychonauts into the format of my previous blog posts, so doing both at the same time was out of the question, on account of Psychonauts taking so long as it is.

Here's the review.
