Where can i read homestuck

It contains all the text, images, animations, and everything else! That's right! Well, almost. You probably saw above, but The Unofficial Homestuck Collection is actually split into two downloads: the desktop application itself, and the Asset Pack.

In order to get it running, you need to pair the application with the asset pack the first time you start it up. The first thing you see will be a screen like this, with a "Locate Assets" button down the bottom.

Once you have the Asset Pack downloaded, extract it anywhere you want. Even an external hard drive will work! Then hit the "Locate Assets" button, and select the extracted folder.

The program will automatically restart, and bring you into the main browser! With all that said, the application is completely open source, and you can play around the repository as much as you want over here.

It's all GPL That's an extremely good question. The issue with this is that it's so damn large I can't even remember everything inside off the top of my head. Here's a by-no-means exhaustive list:. Giving to the Homestuck team, that is. The new age of Homestuck is going strong, and it needs your support to continue. Including those in the collection would feel scummy. The main reason it exists is to prevent the technological decay of Homestuck, not to "stick one to the man" or some garbage.

Need to read the Epilogues offline? They made a book for that! It's literally just text! And speaking of books, go and check out Viz's line of deluxe Homestuck hardcovers. Holy crap, Topatco actually sells all the self-consciously terrible merchandise advertised on the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff site. John, the narrator, and the mysterious figure from the future are all arguing with each other in the narration text. Or, all right, all the footnotes in Infinite Jest.

The cross-cutting between multiple characters at different points in time reminds me of my second-favorite video game ever, Day of the Tentacle , the sequel to Maniac Mansion. My favorite video game ever is Maniac Mansion. Homestuck is more about the innumerable jokes, digressions, weird conversations, and running gags Hussie can spin off each new incremental progression in the action. Right now, for instance, Dave is trying to shove a puppet down a garbage disposal, but is hamstrung by the fact that he can only give himself orders using a limited number of letters.

This has been going on for pages. In the words of Enid Coleslaw, the movie version with the troubling sexual attraction to Steve Buscemi, it keeps going from bad to good and back around to bad again. The animated cutscenes are getting more ambitious. The artwork remains at the same level of one-step-up-from-stick-figures sophistication, so Hussie wisely puts his effort into choosing strong images and cutting them together effectively.

Like a good low-budget anime series, Homestuck does a lot with limited resources. Act Two closes with a lengthy visit to the future as the Wayward Vagabond tries, sort of, to escape from his underground fallout shelter.

That never happened, right? Speaking of, an increasing number of pages are full-on animated sequences. Is Homestuck technically even a comic? Was it ever a comic? This is when I really need the ability to pull Marshall McLuhan out from behind something. First mention of the trolls. These are the characters with candy-corn devil horns you see teenage girls cosplaying as at anime conventions. The lady internet is also where you learn which male Avengers should be making out, besides all of them.

Right, the plot. At the moment, each of the kids is penetrating an inner sanctum where he or she may hope to find answers, or possibly just more machines with overly complicated interfaces.

Dave is unavailable. Outside, the world is still ending. Throughout the comic so far, much the action involves characters avoiding adults and looking for places to plug in their laptops. At long last, the kids have succeeded in booting up a second copy of Sburb, which should allow all four of them to play. Since turning on Sburb seems to trigger a meteor apocalypse, this seems like a bad idea, but they worked awfully hard to do it.

It takes place in a city, in a forest, in a town, and on a small island. This first book however is about a young boy named John who always goes on his computer and plays this game called Homestuck.

The problem about this game is that it is in real life and can be very dangerous. John in this book is playing with his friend rose in the game while rose can build a Homestuck is a very, very, very good book.

John in this book is playing with his friend rose in the game while rose can build and control things johns there in real life. While all this is going on the worlds ending. This book does not have a resolution because if you read it on the computer its one of six i think. I really liked this book because i love sy-fi and this book is just great all together because of humor, action, suspense, and a little romance later when you get to other acts.

The type of reader that would like this book is a reader who loves sy-fi like myself and loves a little mixture of things. And thats why this book is rated five stars. Apr 14, Blue rated it liked it. I didn't actually read the book version yet, but I did read the original online version, so I'll base my review on that for now.

Homestuck is an awesome story, that unfortunatly starts a bit slow. There are hilarious parts, and it's where everything starts, but I have to agree that sometimes all of John's fooling around with the sylladex could be quite tiresome.

The humour makes up fo I didn't actually read the book version yet, but I did read the original online version, so I'll base my review on that for now. The humour makes up for it though! It's sad that many people abandon the story because of the first ACT, because right after it, the story starts to build up to become great and deeper than one would imagine!

The music and animation are important and add a lot to the originality of Homestuck, what I hear is one of the disadvantages of the book version, but apparently the book version contains notes from the autor, so I am looking forward to get it too! I recommend the online version to anyone who is patient enough to enjoy a long and complex story! Dec 12, Beate rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Homestuck fans.

Shelves: comics , humor. As most people that have read Homestuck, I think the first act is really slow compared to the other ones. One of the things I really liked was the humorous and interesting commentaries that Hussie had written on each page. It's difficult to recommend this to people that haven't read Homestuck before. On one hand, those who don't like to read comics on a scree As most people that have read Homestuck, I think the first act is really slow compared to the other ones.

On one hand, those who don't like to read comics on a screen or have problems getting trough the first act, it could be a good investment. On the other hand, you do lose something by not reading the web version.

You don't get to experience the gifs, flash animations and games, and the music. Plus,if you end up not enjoying the humor in the first act, you will not like it in the later ones. The safest thing for a non- Homestucker is probably to check the comic out a bit before you consider buying it. But for a Homestuck fan, I do really think it's worth getting.

In the printed version of the comic, this contains the first act of Andrew Hussie's longer webcomic "Homestuck", in which in the beginning of act one, you meet John Egbert, a rather normal 13 year old boy, with a variety of interests that you see introduced in the first part of the story.

He likes pranks and silly things, along with rather corny and horrible Nic cage movies. He dislikes cake and his father's obsession with baking, along with the various amounts of Harlequins that his father has In the printed version of the comic, this contains the first act of Andrew Hussie's longer webcomic "Homestuck", in which in the beginning of act one, you meet John Egbert, a rather normal 13 year old boy, with a variety of interests that you see introduced in the first part of the story.

He dislikes cake and his father's obsession with baking, along with the various amounts of Harlequins that his father has collected. Act one, you see John struggling to get a package from the mail, a birthday package in fact; which in a weird twist of events ends up in his father's car.

As things keep moving that same day within the story, John ends up starting a game with a few of his friends online that pester him through a little program on his computer called 'Pesterchum' which is similar to that of a Instant Messenger. Of course, as it later shows, the game proves to be more than a thirteen year old can handle and a lot more to deal with than many people thought.

One thing I disliked with the start of homestuck was that it was rather slow paced and at first it seems really pointless to read, because of all of the strange and rather meaningless commands and actions done by John in the first place.

But as it picks up, the thing I did like was it eventually just gets so ridiculous that I wanted to figure out what was going to happen next and left me constantly surprised when I thought it would lead somewhere and yet it switched dramatically. I would probably recommend "Homestuck" to someone who has a lot of time on their hands and someone willing to read something online for quite some time, considering it's over pages and likely going to grow even further than it is now.

Oct 15, Maya Ben-dror rated it it was amazing Shelves: quarter-1 , comics-and-out-of-school. I think we all can agree that Homestuck is the Ulysses of the internet. Between the timey-wimey-wibbly-wobbly time shenanigans and all the god tiers and the felt and spades slick and his crew It's just so confusing. So I think that it's important that Hussie made Act 1 long and slow because it gives readers a chance okay, so Homestuck act 1 in a book So I think that it's important that Hussie made Act 1 long and slow because it gives readers a chance to understand what's going on.

If Hussie didn't tell you that John's dad was obsessed with making cake, then all the "batter witch" comments wouldn't make sense. So in a way, what he did with act 1 was very important. Five stars for sure. It's completely worth it. And once you get completely hooked, you can upload your cosplay to Facebook and twitter and deviantart for all the world to see!

How do I even review this book, it is literally the most amazing book in existence, I don't mean to sound like I'm being facetious but no this is really one of the most amazing books ever, but I'm going to review it in terms of the webcomic the book was based off of. First of all the fact that it was based off of a webcomic is already funny but more important Homestuck is a charming webcomic about a boy who plays a world destroying game with friends who he only knows online.

The charm factor for How do I even review this book, it is literally the most amazing book in existence, I don't mean to sound like I'm being facetious but no this is really one of the most amazing books ever, but I'm going to review it in terms of the webcomic the book was based off of. The charm factor for me in Homestuck is that John Egbert cares for his friends so much even though he only knows them online, it's personal to me because I have online friends as well so the fact that Andrew Hussie can write about friendships and how they're so close and only knowing each other online has never even been an ISSUE with them at all, the first book is just John being a boy and things of that nature but the world it's set in is also a fascinating one.

This is certainly a book I'd recommend to anyone, and I have! Nov 08, Tamika Miles rated it it was amazing Shelves: homestuck. It boring was a boring act, but it made act 2 really interesting, and turned act 3 into something unheard of.

One of my favorite parts was in act one. You'd have to read act one in order to understand the other acts anyway. One of my other favorite acts was in act three. The only way to read Homestuck anyway is to get through the first act. If i hadn't gotten through the first act, I probably wouldn't have gotten to act three's intermission.

I'm kind of late with Homestuck though. But being a fa It boring was a boring act, but it made act 2 really interesting, and turned act 3 into something unheard of. But being a fast reader, I got through act one. Nov 08, Pipper rated it it was amazing. Same with the web comic. I love the description of the characters, introducing them one by one. Jade is my favorite human character. I used to not like her that much, but I really do like her now.

I love the whole comic actually. It just get's me exited to see the next update. I hope he keeps doing the web comic longer.
