I enjoyed Megatokyo when I was, like, 14 or something. I think it was because a lot of the early strips were like a watered-down version of the typical Penny Arcade-style webcomic, with Largo's l33tspeak and the quarreling-buddies relationship of the characters. Since I had never read any other webcomics and hadn't been on the internet much, this style was novel and (reasonably enough) entertaining to me at the time.

A little while before Largo (Rodney, was his name?) left, it seemed to get a lot slower and more incoherent. It actually got slightly better after Largo left because it seemed like Fred was trying to compensate for his absence, but I still thought it was time to leave. Which it was.

It amazing that the story is still so slow, though. I wonder if it's exponential or logarithmic?

One reason he's difficult to hate: it's hard for someone to be too high-and-mighty about their success when its vehicle is centered about a socially awkward, pathetic avatar of themselves. (I wanted to confirm this, and what do you know, I look at the latest comic and Piro's nervously freaking out about something, complete with wide eyes.)
