Bump. I just played 1.8 Pre-release. Spawned at the top of a tree in the middle of no-where, could not find NPC village. Raged. Stopped playing for a bit.
BTW, Endermen are scary as hell.
These are pretty darn well drawn, but in the humor department, they seem to fall flat more than half the time. I think this may be because there's no real punchline in a lot of them, just memes being overused or random things happening. Try using relatable situations in Minecraft that haven't been done a lot (bad example would be creepers blowing up houses, losing diamonds, etc).
Like, for instance, episode 7 is a good one. I chuckled a bit, since I do it all the time, and I haven't seen many comics touch base on that. However, using both the me gusta face and the awesome face (twice) in one comic strip was a bit unnecessary - I think it'd be funnier without them, and/or with valid facial expressions in their place.
Episode 12 is another example of a good one. I thought it was pretty clever, and I haven't seen it done before (it could have done without any dialogue, but that's just a personal preference).
Now, an example of a sorta mediocre one would be...Episode 15, I think. Those kind of strips can be funny sometimes (extreme closeups, etc), but only if it's done right, or if it has an actual punchline. In this case, I don't think it was executed very well. To improve upon it, you could have made the cow's face increasingly realistic as it zooms in, or something like that.
tl;dr version: The art's good, but the jokes could be a lot better. Of course, these are just for fun anyways, so by no means do you have to take my advice into much consideration, unless you'd like to improve upon them a bit.

Finally! A critique! I was beginning to think we were perfect XD. Yes, there are three idea people in the team, all with different senses of humour, depending on how tired we are (lol). LIAM did episode 15, and we were overdue so I said fine. Lol, Liam, you are so dry. Your best one was 12. That was great.
If you notice, underneath each skit I put a name.
But, thanks for the feedback. I'm sure Thunderpeace will read this soon.

Yeah, I noticed the names below each comic, though I don't think the problem is specified to just one member of the team (episode 15 was just an example after all). A lot of the jokes seem to be a bit lazy, rather than just appealing to certain senses of humor or tastes. If someone doesn't find something funny, they should be able to see why others find it funny. I couldn't really do that with some of these comics.
If you're overdue for a comic, I think it's better to come out with a quality one a little late rather than rushing out a less than sub-par one just for the sake of releasing one. Try really thinking a new comic through before getting it out to the public, make sure you know what exact part(s) of the comic should be funny and why they are (of course, there's always times when something is gutbustingly hilarious, but you just can't seem to pinpoint why it is - in those cases, it's either coincidence or execution. Or maybe something else!).

Not a problem at all, glad to help.
Well... holy crap a lot of conversing has been going on while I've been stuck with deadlines. Anyways, I am extremely happy that someone like you managed the guts to actually be able to stand up and type more than three lines. I applaud you my friend.
So, yeah I do kinda agree that some of the comics are kinda lazy it's just that the other members, Cookie and Liam are lazy as cows. When I give them the comic to be revised sometimes they are as laid back as a tree if you get what I mean. So technically it's kinda their fault. Half of the time they just go with 'whatever' and I'm pretty much the same.
We're kinda a useless team but ah well.
About episode 15, I am kinda thinking about revising it and doing it again like you said about the closer it gets the more realistic. But that'll have to wait a bit since I have like a crap ton of stuff on my back.
Episode 7: I'm surprised people actually do that.
Episode 12: I have to say was one of my least favorite ones to draw due to the fact... it kinda sucked in my opinion. Sorry Liam.
Oh and one more thing before you die of boredom reading this. Soon I will get a tablet and my drawing with increase, soon I will get a desktop rather than this crappy laptop. Soon, Minecraft Skits will rock your world.
Peace!
...Now that isn't very nice. I'm stuck here dividing my time between my assignment an the storyline. You are sitting at your computer insulting us. Hark who's talking.
JK, lol, I'll try get the story done over the weekend.

Ah ah ah, I see what you're trying to do there. Placing the blame on others isn't the way to go, mister, since you still had the ability to say "hey, this could be better", or, since you're the artist, you could have made any tweaks you wanted. :wink.gif:
You guys gotta get your stuff together, man! You want a great comic, you gotta have a great team, amirite? Cookie and Liam, you guys gotta start caring more about this, and Thunderpeace, you need to keep those guys in check instead of doing nothing about them doing nothing. :tongue.gif:
Lookin forward to seeing new ones soon!

Hey! A lot of those ideas were Thunderpeace's! Anyway, I am not helping with the skits anymore, I am planning something else...
Thunderpeace, any ideas? Of course, assignment takes prioirity but I'll get a brainstorm down tongight.
BTW, Endermen are scary as hell.
Fail Endermen above. -________-
Liam by the way
hows the cow comic coming along??
sorry to give it away
Finally, you made an account. I dunno, maybe when you decide what you wanna look like... -__-
I spit way less
Please, please comment guys!
