I must say I found that shortpacked one hillarious. "Hi I'm Daisy" I wonder when she will stop saying that in games, it made sence when she was a "new" character to the nintendo library. xD

I voted for Shorpacked, but I've found a new comic to bookmark, and that is Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

Nice touch with the 50 DKP minus.

you should add target="_blank" to your hyperlinks, that way one doesnt have to navigate from this site when they click one

Use Firefox! Just right click, open in new tab, and youre set (you can also middle click).

You can open as many comics as you want, view them all, and never navigate from Joystiq... What are you waiting for? GetFirefox.com

This was an awesome idea. Great to see Fanboys and SMBC on there. More people need to hear about those comics.

This week's wrapup is a very cool idea. It's really opened my eyes to a lot of fresh comics. I'm also glad to see that Smack Jeeves is coming into its own as a mainstream comic hosting network. I started my comic out on SJ and I found it to be a very easy to use with a great community.

...or just right click - open link in new window. Or so my Safari says, I suspect IE has something similar.

LOL I'm pretty sure Jay just pwned Firefox lovers.

Anyway, I thought Kilobyte was the best. Unfortunately, it's losing miserably. Oh well.

Oh man that Sonic's SSBM application one was brilliant. I'm pretty sure when Shadow started bitching and moaning about Maria in SA2, that was the exact moment I knew the Sonic franchise as we knew it was dead.

I'm going to have to agree, the Shortpacked one was great.

I'm mainly surprised that anyone who writes a webcomic about video games knows what sex is.

Come on, who reads those things?!? I'd sooner read a fanfic about how the two guys from Mythbusters explore their love for each other.

In a week that desperately needed an option for vote for none, we dont get one. I guess I cant cast my vote.

6: Uhh, no thanks. The thing I hate most about so many blogs is that they automatically assume I want several dozen windows clogging up my screen. If I want it in a new window, I'll do it myself!

HA, no "none of the above" option for the ones that only vote for PA.

Socrates (14) I'm the co-writer and artist for RPG-TV and i hope it pleases you to know that I get much sex so enough with the stereo typing. Gamers are only sad fat bastards as long as people like you beleive that is so.

Sorry Chrysis (are you getting royalties from Crysis?)! I didn't mean to distract you from all the "much sex".

What is stereo typing?!?

Oh so I put a space between the stereo and the typing? kudos sir you truly are the better man. Please go back to your fan fiction. To those of you that actually enjoy comics, thanks for taking interest and voting for your favourite whether its RPG-TV or not, I'd wager none of the above comics make enough money to break even so they're all doing it for the love of it and for the readers of which I am one :D

Actually I wasn't commenting on the error, I just didn't realize you were saying "stereotyping." The only grammatical error I was mocking was "much sex".

Sure, comics are great - but why make comics just about gaming? No other hobby/interest has such a legion of people who feel the need to express themselves via webcomics. PVPonline is worth reading, because it occasionally has some humorous bits - usually the non-gaming ones! The tragically unfunny Penny Arcade, and its hordes of clones...one wonders why. Besdies, nothing could ever match up to the brilliance of Pokey the Penguin.

Socrates, that's called trolling. You knew that comment would rile people up.

You sir, are being a jerk. And what are you going to get out of this? Last I checked, "owning" people on the internet wasn't a lucrative way to spend your time.

You call people who make webcomics which people enjoy sad - yet you are spending your time instigating arguments on the internet. Seems like some self-reflection is in order. You need to find what it is about these comics that upsets you so, and work to resolve that issue. I'm sure with time, and a good support group, you can get past this and come to realise: the entirety of the internet does not revolve around entertaining you.

I still say today's comic at PAX is the best. You can see it here and at Kotaku. I still think the Hotdog Fairy is classic.

//you had to be there

That's a mighty fibne selection of items there.

I think the idea of separating the more established comic from the others for a little bit of more justice and not having people voting for PA or CAD or something else by default.

Too bad I forgot to recommend my own comic bleh :F

Which might have been a rip-off of PA.
