"[a] vitriolic and bitter collection of unwarranted nastiness about a silly and harmless comic."
Welcome. This is a website called XKCD SUCKS which is about the webcomic xkcd and why we think it sucks. My name is Carl and I used to write about it all the time, then I stopped because I went insane, and now other people write about it all the time. I forget their names. The posts still seem to be coming regularly, but many of the structural elements - like all the stuff in this lefthand pane - are a bit outdated. What can I say? Insane, etc.
I started this site because it had been clear to me for a while that xkcd is no longer a great webcomic (though it once was). Alas, many of its fans are too caught up in the faux-nerd culture that xkcd is a part of, and can't bring themselves to admit that the comic, at this point, is terrible. While I still like a new comic on occasion, I feel that more and more of them need the Iron Finger of Mockery knowingly pointed at them. This used to be called "XKCD: Overrated", but then it fell from just being overrated to being just horrible. Thus, xkcd sucks.
Here is a comic about me that Ann made. It is my favorite thing in the world.
Why doesn't anyone comment on the good ones?
ReplyDeletethis post was I think literally the second day of this blog - so basically no one has read this one. Hell, this was back when I could write a whole post with only two short sentences. Ah, the old days.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at some newer comics that you might consider "good" and see what we said.
some how I get the feeling you liked this one for the satisfaction of imagining of Randall actually did something like this in real life and hot his "math license" provoked for being a quirky douche. I must say I'm with you on that
