strip]].

->''8-bit Theater'' was a webcomic by Brian Clevinger (hi) that ran from 2001 to 2009. It was about four [[VillainProtagonist murder hobos]] pretending to be heroes of destiny who were foretold to save the world from a great evil, but it turns out ''they're'' the great evil.\\
Actually, that's not canonical, just implied over and over. What the hell, it's 2021, you can't stop me, '''''IT'S CANONICAL NOW.'''''\\
Anyway. ''8BT'' was a hit of early 2000s webcomicry, so it was about video games. Superficially, it was about ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyI'' released for the Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem in 1987. But, ''slightly'' deeper than superficially, it was about video games as a whole, tabletop gaming, nerd stuff generally, film, history, philosophy, politics, a ''lot'' of [[BlackComedy cartoonish ultra-violence]], and thousands of art crimes that made it impossible to ever print. Until now!\\
Readers have asked about a print edition for year and years. What I usually tell them is that I don't want to get [[ScrewedByTheLawyers sued by the brilliant and attractive lawyers at Square-Enix]] because ''that'' distracts from the fact that I [[SelfDeprecation rather idiotically produced]] ''every single page'' at 72dpi. For those of you who aren't in publishing: generally speaking you want at least 300dpi for print. So, even if we ''could'' print them we ''can't'' print them.\\
But what we ''can'' do is make '''a complete script book compendium (no sprites do not sue)''' containing freshly typed scripts for all 1,224 comics and the Epilogue! But that's not all. I'm [[FixItInPost fixing typos and grammar]], [[AcquiredErrorAtThePrinter messing up new typos and grammer]], producing all-new commentary, including behind-the-scenes tidbits, adding insights into my process, and tucking extra jokes into the panel descriptions!\\
In short it's '''the''' ultimate ''8-bit Theater'' print collection. And this is '''YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO GET IT'''. We're limiting the print run to whatever you folks buy. I mean, we'll make a ''few'' extra [[GenreSavvy to account for potential shipping mishaps because that's gonna happen to someone]]. '''BUT IF YOU DON'T GET ONE OF THESE RIGHT NOW THEN YOU NEVER WILL!''' Think of it like an NFT [[TakeThat without the forest fire]].
