It's ok. No offense to any authors, but I honestly don't have time for webcomics, even if they are good. They're all so long... maybe if I caught one as it was starting and followed it.
Or just spread 'em out. Read maybe one a year or something, stuff like that. You have many years ahead of you to fit ones in the schedule, if you wanna'. And I'd definitely recommend it! As culture goes, webcomics are doing pretty alright, imo.

That said, there's plenty giving their college try for starting off and whatnot, and ones that look like they're not going to stop anytime soon getting into their groove (Like paranatural, ferex, or mokepon), if you do want to find one and follow along. RSS and such makes doing so really easy these days, even.

I think there are some points where Stalker does manage the tension, especially your first journey into an underground lab.  Few game experiences have put me so on edge.

But the first expedition in Roadside Picnic was the most tense thing I've ever read.  Hard to match.

Webcomics?

xkcd and Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal are good enough for me, if they even count.

I read XKCD and Oglaf primarily.

That last one is NSFW but that's part of its charm.

I liked Red as a character, and how well it was described how paranoid someone had to be to survive an excursion into the Zone.

The thing that got me about Stalker was nothing made sense the first few hours you spent in the game.  It actually took time to figure out what an anomaly was, and how to identify and work around them.  You weren't given any warnings or clues.  Just a minor visual cue that you most likely didn't learn to look for until you'd died a few times, unless you were lucky enough to see an animal run into one first and make the connection.  It made combat so much more intense any time you entered a new area, because until you got really good at identifying anomalies, you didn't know how much you could dare to move around.

And the first underground lab didn't exactly feel alien, no... but the feeling of being haunted was the strongest I've ever felt.  My first play through, I never figured out that you could kill the poltergeists.  I shot at them, but it didn't look like it was effecting them, so I didn't unload enough to kill them.  There was no indication that they were the things throwing objects at me, either.  So I went through the entire lab not understanding anything that was going on.  Balls of electricity and fire just wandering around.  Random objects throwing themselves at me.  It was also the first place you encounter Snorks, which are the most visually creepy monsters in the game.  Then as you get towards the bottom, the pyrogeist starts fucking with your mind, randomly blurring and coloring your vision along with a haunting sound effect.  And until you encounter the thing, you have no idea where that effect is coming from.

I don't think any other game has ever gripped me so hard.

I think maybe it's time I go download Lost Alpha.  I waited long enough for that mod.  Now that I'm reminiscing about Stalker again, I should go play it.

Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

I am a bundle of hurts this morning. My hip/arsecheek is bruised to the point that moving my right leg is painful, my shoulder is a bit sore as well, and I have a bump on the back of my head that would make a Loony Toons character proud.
With this many injuries I must have had a good night! :D

Also, shiiiit, comics... that reminds me I didn't buy any this week. There weren't that many I was after on my store's shipping list, but still, I'm sure there's something cool that I missed out on. Dangit.

Guys let me tell you about Homestuck Kill Six Billion Demons.

The worldbuilding is pretty complicated even though the plot hasn't advanced much, but the art is impressive and the webcomic is... well.... magical.

I gotta wonder exactly how much acid the artist had to drop before making that. Maybe about a gallon?

This is not a complaint.

Ooh, forgot XKCD and Dinosaur comics, yeah. But I'm talking more about ones with a continuous narrative. Those are time consuming. The others can be too, if you get drawn into an archive binge, but don't require you to read every issue to understand.

What in the black-and-blue hell is this

I mostly read xkcd and a few lesser comedy ones. That's pretty much the only webcomic I actively pay attention to.
