Currently Addicted To: A better plot than Lost (TV series) : 7 seeds Manga hosted @ Onemanga.com

Okay so Lost Finale was a downer since the cohesiveness of the plot was lost in by 3rd season. The ending was cheesy and poorly written as “purgatory”. Japanese writer Tamura Yumi actually made a better story plot and get this, she wrote and drew the manga on 2001 beating the first airing of lost on September 2004! Reading the manga made me realize that LOST writer may have stumbled upon Tamura Yumi’s manga and drew inspiration on that.

7-seeds is a chilling manga that started first with 7 people and 1 watcher. The cast of characters, 5 at first, find themselves waking up in a sinking ship in the middle of a storm. They remember sleeping in their own beds, not getting on the ship so, left with no choice but to abandon ship and find land, the characters are marooned in a weird island where plants devour animals, insects prey on all and animals go brutal among themselves. 3 members join the cast and the watcher explains to the bewildered group, project 7-seeds.

The story rapidly gains ground as they are not the only group marooned on the island, other groups have been released as well on various times such as a month or even 15 years before. There are 4 groups in total named as Team Summer, Team Spring, Team Autumn and Team Winter all scattered on the island at different times. To what purpose are they is written by Tamura Yumi as she pulls through Lost plot  with characters, dramatic past, tedious present and unknown future.

7-seeds presents a different level of paranoia of waking up far from your bed, where survival outweighs trust and how time is precious. Every second of it.

To summarize…. I LOVE IT!

Currently Addicted To: Girls with Slingshots by Danielle Corsetto (Webcomic)


Girls with Slinghots Banner

One of the wittiest webcomics that I’ve ever read. Girls with Slingshots (GWS) was originally a super hero webcomic by Danielle Corestto. I love the way the story evolved to include a bevy of unique characters. Although GWS has nicknames for the cast, I prefer my own views of them.

Redrawn by October 2004, GWS evolved to be a story of McPedro, a talking cactus with an accent owned by Jamie, a buxom above-the-waist lesbian and BFF Hazel, a drunken style columnist who was in love with Jameson, a balding but sexy barrista in a cafe shop and his blogging girlfriend Maureen who is hated by the goth chick sadist also a blogger Candy that works with Clarice, the Librarian wannabe dominatrix in a porn store that introduced the Lesbian Bartender Angel to Thea who happens to the former boss of Hazel.

There are other minor characters such as the compulsive pirate liar Chris and the hunky but cross dresser Darrel and a soon to be major character and Hazel’s current love interest, Zach who had sex with 300 women of various sizes, ages and races.

Slinghot happens to be a bar drink btw.

Currently Addicted To: The Noob Comic | Behind the MMORPG lies… THE TRUTH!

Have you every played an online role playing game? How about a massive multiplayer game? I guess the young (or were young) has heard of Ragnarok that addicted a whole lot of Pinoys. Other MMORPGs that Pinoys have been playing for nearly a decade count MU, Tantra, RFonline or casual one’s like O2, Audition, Oz and the like.

Somehow, with all those games, the developers and distributors can’t seem to please any player. Questions fly to mind. What does go behind the “server”? How do developers cook up their events? And how supportive are technical support? Every MMORPG player have grim tales to tell yet only one webcomic has dared to answer these questions.

The NOOB COMIC!

Thenoobcomic.com Cliche Quest Character Selection (Click for larger image)

It’s a funny webcomic about a kid who bought a game called Clichequest. The Noob Comic spins a tale of character creation, game mechanics and events and the kooky minds of the “devs” (developers) and players themselves. I just love it!
