So, I've developed another internet addiction. It is Dean's fault, indirectly, though he's already mocked me for it :V
It started innocently enough, with a new webcomic, Goblins. I read through pretty much the whole archive in an evening while I was NB one night and didn't want to go to bed. I like the story, though I suspect that under normal circumstances it would be the sort of thing wherew I lose interest in regular reading because it updates slowly and the story also moves slowly on account of it takes a while for the guy to draw.
However...
The guy who draws it, Thunt, has a live drawing feed where you can watch him work. He's miced for it, so he chatters on about random stuff - the comic, drawing, D&D stuff, his life, etc. There si also a chat room, where you can talk to other people who are watchig, and talk to him as well (though he isn't always paying attention when he is drawing). Anyway, I've gotten sucked in to this. It fufills my fascination with watching people draw (which Hazel is all to familiar with, I'm sure. I've gotten many an annoyed look from her ;), my love of knowing what is going on in advance (he won't do the storyboards or dialog on camera, so there is still a surprise, but he draws, inks, and colours), and my desire to feel included in things that I enjoy. Its like a hardline fandom link. That metaphor got a little mixed up, but I think you probably take my point! Like anywhere else on the internet (with the exception of my regular espernet haunts, of course ;), some people are cool and some people are kinda annoying... but I'm still addicted so far :x
But the reason that I am mentioning this today is that as a Shameless Publicity Stunt(tm), he is doing a 48 hour drawing marathon on the feed. Crazy madness! He recently decided to dedicate himself to doing the comic for a living and is trying to increase readership, I think, but it should be a fun ride, anyway! So, I figured I'd enable his shamelessness, and pimp it out.
