"[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seem to be coming regularly, but many of the structural elements - like all the stuff in this lefthand pane - are a bit outdated.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.
Do you really think people still care about this dumbass blog after you haven't updated it for almost two years? Shut up and end this already, you negative, egotistical prick.

ReplyDeleteSeeing an active comment thread on this old blog once again makes me yearn for the glory days of xkcdsucks no-hyphen, when memes abounded, pastas were copied, and when regular commenters on this blog were so close, we were practically a family. Lord, how I never thought I'd miss some of that. Even the Chris Houlihan's Room guy was kinda charming in their own way...
And though I know, it's not long now before this comment thread will soon fade away like the others, I can't help but wish that it could be was possible to cross the vastness between our lonely souls, hold each other's hands, maybe even hear each other's voices... Maybe then we'd learn to love again.
I promise, sincerely, with all my heart, that this comment is not just one big excuse to plug my podcast.
Ooh, and DID I MENTION I have a podcast now? It's called Panel Beat and you should totally check it out. Featuring the one and only, History's Greatest Monster (yours truly!), and co-hosted by the gorgeous Greg Greenwell of XKCD Isn't Funny fame. In it we talk about webcomics, pop culture, and just about everything else in between. If you kinda like when podcasters go off on long tangents to talk about something unrelated, then this is probably the show for you!
We're on iTunes, Stitcher, and all the great online radio apps. Just search Panel Beat. Keep up with our *cough* regular updates from @Panel_Beat, and follow the host at @atJonLevi. (Also follow @Greg_Greenwell, but only if you follow me first.)
Hey, be thankful I didn't do the thing I was originally going to do, which is post the entire Bee Movie script in a comment.
