It needs to not require many brain activities. If I was capable of thinking right now I'd be working on OS homework or finishing Infinite Jest.

I thought about starting Homestuck but last I heard it's not finished, and it may also require brain activities.

Start Homestuck, if you already wanted to.

Most of the craziness doesn't start for a while, and much of the fun is following on with the other readers as plot twists and updates occur.

I Watched the Friday, Osama and Harry Potter episodes. Mildly entertaining. I guess I can read Homestuck until I Love You Man finishes.

It can be confusing at first, especially going in blind, but once you get the hang of it it becomes one of the most enjoyable works of fiction ever produced. Just keep in mind that it's written to be a text based adventure game and uses abstract game mechanics as if they're common place. If you're not understanding something it's probably because you weren't meant to just yet. There's a reason why "you'll get it in a thousand pages" is a common thing said in my group of friends.

Yeah I "get" what's going on, and I am digging the quirky adventure game mechanics and stuff, it's just really strange. Like now I'm reading Problem Sleuth and I have no idea how long this random sub-plot sub-game sub-comic goes for.

Problem Sleuth is a different beast from Homestuck. It basically has no plot or dialogue and is just wacky (but fun) zaniness the whole way through.

The beginning of Homestuck is kind of bleh (I quit and came back for a year around the end of Act 1), but if you give it a chance it just gets better and better and better.

Oh you probably shouldn't be reading Problem Sleuth (I mean it's a cool thing to read, but it's around 1700 pages... I don't know why Hussie linked to it near the beginning of HS).

No.

And yeah don't bother with Problem Sleuth.

Homestuck is good choice though.

No I think one of those is like... 70 pages and the other is like 130? Something like that. I read through Bard Quest (the shortest one) before realizing he was just linking to his old stuff and that it wasn't a part of Homestuck. Neither is as good as HS or PS.

Yeah Problem Sleuth is pretty good, but it's not really indicative of Homestuck at all.

They're entirely different beasts, especially once Homestuck kicks off after Act 1.

Soon as I saw the topic title I knew this was going to turn into yet another homosuck thread. Is it just me or did it suddenly become all the rage recently even though it's been going on for years?

Not complaining btw, it's awesome and will eat your soul for the next week if you keep reading.

I think all the hype around [S] Cascade along with all the crazy shenanigans that happened because of it (crashing newgrounds and megaupload, etc) caused more people to start it.

Cuz there does seem to be a lot more people getting into it since then.

I got into it since then, but I had no idea about any of that. I think I just started noticing the name a lot around the web and figured I should check it out. Snowballing effect I guess.

Then I discovered I'm actually an older fan than most everyone else, because I followed Jailbreak way back then and typed in commands and stuff. Had no idea Homestuck was related to that!

Just finished Act 2 of Homestuck. This s*** be crazy. Not entirely sure what was going on in the ending montage. Like I got the gist of it, but I feel there was some serious foreshadowing and possible connections flying back and forth that were moving too quick for me to grasp.

But uh... you're better off not going there right now. Spoilers, ya know.
