Does anyone else here read MSPaint Adventures? It's sort of...a webcomic, I guess? It's not really a comic. I mean, it's a story(multiple stories on the site, one active story), and it's told with pictures, but I don't know if I'd consider it a comic.
Anyway, what genre it is is really irrelevant. What it IS, is awesome. It is excellent. I suggest you try reading it. You most probably will not be disappointed. It is appropriate for everyone who is not bothered by strong language here and there.
MSPaint Adventures!

I know Shamarah and I have both tried to quickly retrieve arms from chest.

It's pretty good but the author has a tendency to get tangled up in stupid pointless irrelevant subplots and introduce waaaay too many POV characters.
Also the current intermission thing is completely retarded and pointless, it was cute for a little while but then the characters started traveling 5 minutes into the past and then 5 minutes into the future and I didn't care enough to figure out what was going on. If I want a story that I need a complex flowchart to fully understand then I'll go watch Primer again. I'm just ignoring it until he goes back to the real story.

I am a huge fan, have read every one, bought all four albums (night crew one just came out!), and constantly lurk on the forums.
I personally love highly complex stories with lots of loopbacks and self references and I think the sheer imagination and variety of things done with the comic is unsurpassed anywhere else on the internets (if you have links to prove me wrong please share!). It is an crazy blend of interactivity, animation, world building, sound, and humor. The update speed from just one guy also makes me feel beyond lazy. As far as I know this is just a pure hobby for Andrew.
I have also yet to get a single one of my friends or family interested in it.
Even if you can't get into MSPA you should check out http://www.jandrewedits.com/
So Phoebus and casilu you get extra cool points, and Shamarah I forgive you

Oh, don't get me wrong, MSPA is very entertaining and I really like a lot of the flash stuff he's been doing with Homestuck. He just has an annoying tendency to get wrapped-up in pointless subplots that just distract from the main story. Remember the whole stupid thing with the fan in Problem Sleuth, where he spent like 100 pages on something that should have been told in 10-20 tops? The stuff with the Vagabond, as well as this intermission, seems to be more of the same.

Midnight Crew is great! You shouldn't ignore it. Plus he said in a newspost that it isn't completely irrelevant, so you might want to pay a little more attention to it. Just a heads up.
That said...
I'm glad to see that other people here like MSPA You have good taste. Congratulations on being excellent.
