Readers pick best webcomic: Living Achievements Vicariously

by Ross Miller { Mar 27th 2007 at 8:00AM }

Blending real life with virtual life is usually reserved for those who think it's wise to incorporate 1337 speak into grade school essays (and shame on you for thinking Shakespeare doesn't r0x0rz j00r b0x0rz). Dueling Analogs, for splicing what makes the Xbox great with what makes ... well, we don't want to go there either way, has been crowned the winner of this week's webcomic wrapup.

Second place goes to still-newbie 2P Start and third place went perennial favorites (and our rocketeering racketeering partners) Penny Arcade. Thanks to everyone who voted and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Here's the breakdown:

Quick, to the archives!

Wow, a dookiedick is all it takes to get first place around here? Color me..... disappointed.

is anyone even vaguely surprised that the lame anal sex joke won...

if people wonder why there aren't more female gamers, just look at the demographic they would have to associate with. immature boys who giggle over "Teh buttsekz is teh r0xx0r!11!1!"

Very immature and stupid. Not to mention Dueling Anaolgs guy doesn't grammar check his work.

I hoped to enter this last week, but it wasn't hosted in time. Maybe for the best, since it doesn't contain any references to anal sex.

But anyway:

Funny stuff.

I think anyone with photoshop skills can win this contest now, as long as they have some perverted or butt sex joke. Good to know this will never change. :|

Why does everyone want to be a fake sheppy?

Muku @ Mar 27th 2007 11:56AM

"Why does everyone want to be a fake sheppy?"

So being disappointed with lame anal jokes and perverted jokes winning these and those voicing their opinions about it makes us "fake sheppy"? Whatever.

I guess it's the kind of jokes that make guys giggle or whatever. I'll never get it.

no Ctrl+Alt+Del?

Of course this is no surprise here on this site. If you were to go back and look at all the best webcomics choice, you'd surprise find out how often when one was entered about oral anal or homosexual sex that it didn't win. I guess there is only one way to prove me wrong

slacker164 @ Mar 27th 2007 12:56PM

So, uh, who actually voted for this winner? I went with the rocketeer.

sheppy @ Mar 27th 2007 1:00PM

Hate to admit it, but that first post really was by the real sheppy. I just hate lame anal sex jokes.

James @ Mar 27th 2007 1:02PM

I voted for it, because it was funny. Maybe having sticks up your asses prevented you guys from getting the joke.

GTA IV's countdown to a trailer. Starcraft Ghost's vaporware. And PS3's demise, countup from Wii's launch.

Dead DigDug for the win.

"Maybe having sticks up your asses prevented you guys from getting the joke."

I think the point is that the people who didn't like that comic are AGAINST sticks up asses.

lol ... come on guys. Such pointless over-analyzation. There's a time and place for serious debate and then there's those points where you don't like what you see and just walk away. It's a web comic wrap up. That's all.

I thought it was worth a chuckle. It wasn't meant to stand up to debates on internet culture and IQ levels.
