An early look at AlienBlue for Mac, a Reddit app

The popular Reddit client for the iOS devices, Alien Blue, is finally (and un-expectedly) coming to the Mac! Here you’ll find a full fledge native desktop client, which seems very familiar to it’s iOS counterparts, that will be avaiable for download from the Mac app store soon. If you haven’t tried Alien Blue (and we highly reccomend you do), its the unofficial app for the popular news, culture and social site, Reddit.com . The app did very well on the iOS App Store due to tight design, being able to create shortcuts to your own personal subreddits to cut down on the amount of time and pages you have to spend on the site to navigate — and even though it sounds great, how will the Mac app stand up to the iOS apps?

WebComic of the Week - Looking for Group

“Before Lord of the Rings, before World of Warcraft… there were these guys. Their adventures aren’t pretty, but it’s there”, is the brief descrition that aptly sums up Looking for Group. Its author, Ryan Sohmers, and its artist, Lar DeSouza, who also work together on the popular humorous comic Least I Could Do, are a part of Blind Ferret Entertament, a grouping of well made comics. The other comics that are a part of Blind Ferret are fairly popular, but it seems to me that Looking For Group is slightly left out of the mega circle. Which begs the question, “why?” Seeing as fans all over think that the series highly deserves to be thrown in with the other big boys. — More after the break!

Webcomic of the week - The Oatmeal

Webcomics shown here on OkayGeek have been either indipendant, small or not very well known. We usually try to steer clear of comics people have already read, but The Oatmeal’s popularity was unbeknownst to me until a few days ago. It was forced upon me be Okay Geek’s head guru Brandon Davenport, and I am loving every piece by The Oatmeal. 

Webcomic of the Week - Ugly Hill

Ugly Hill is a now finished webcomic by Paul Southworth, one of the authors of the currently running Not Invented Here.  Not Invented Here ran from 2005 to 2009, and to this day, is still one of the best laugh-a-days I have ever read. The story for Ugly Hill revoles around slacker Eli Kilgore, a high school dropout who refuses to grow up, who lives in fear of his older brother, Hastings, from forcing him to move out and get a job. Hastings himself is an obsessive, bigot workaholic with unprecedented anger issues, and prefers to solve all of his problems by eating them… including people who make him make him angry. Yes, that means other people — More after the break! YGJEQ6BMXPYV
