I wouldn't surprised if most of you have already read this, but then again, maybe you haven't.
Megatokyo
Plot: Megatokyo is one of the longest running and most popular web manga. Best friends Piro (a big fan of Japanese games, particularily dating sims) and Largo (a l33t PC and console gamer) end up stranded in Japan and have to get by, make a living, and the like. Except it all gets a whole lot more complicated pretty quickly as Piro finds himself dealing girls, relationships, and his own personal problems. Largo, meanwhile, has to deal with zombies, giant monsters, and secret agents. If you couldn't figure it out, Piro's parts of the story tend towards more serious stuff while Largo's are pretty crazy, making for a rather interesting mix. The first few strips aren't all that great but things pick up fairly quickly once they get to Japan.
Art: The art starts out alright and gets very very good as time goes on. It's pretty much all black and white though.
Things to Know: Aside from the main plot, there's some bonus arcs that come between the main chapters that do things like parody various anime or follow the adventurers of Piro and Largo's characters inside some game or another.
Favorite Strips: I have some...but I'll have to find them later. Homework and all that...
