What's all this about Mark Lincoln getting credit for the MarioKart chart? That site you linked to doesn't seem to have much with the posted image.
http://xkcd.com/c290.html is where ye ol' pie chart originally came from.

I agree, this is blasphemy. XKCD should not only be credited for the picture, it should be the clear winner in this week's weekly wrap-up. I vote for XKCD. Period.

For shame Joystiq.

I don't know what's worse, the fact that the graph isn't credited to xkcd (and is also missing from the poll) or the fact that nobody at Joystiq apparently reads xkcd and spotted the error.

Wow, congrats to CAD. Not only did Puzzle Quest come out months ago, Penny-Arcade made the same joke. In March.

In reference to the PA strip: Why the hell would you buy OXM to get the Eternal Sonata demo? You can download it from the Japanese site, in English, for free... I did when it first went up. Not at ALL impressed. Just not my kind of RPG. I shouldn't be playing a psuedo turn-based RPG and hit the damn A button more times than while playing Dynasty Warriors.

I think it's more that they're making fun of the idea that OXM has the "exclusive" rights to the demo.

As if these rights would make someone, who wouldn't normally buy the magazine, pony up the money.

There's a turn-based tactical game called Worms. In VG Cats, they were referring to the works as intestinal worms rather than actual worms. Resulting in the reaction to what would happen were they to go to was as they do in the game.

I was thinking about it about 15 minutes later and I figured it out. :)

Thanks for explaining, though!

I voted for Ctrl+Alt+Del because it was actually kind of funny for once.

XKCD is as good as it gets. Brilliance doesn't need amazing art.

Deuling Analogs FTW.

If you have been tracking the PAX Omegathon, you may find this comic funny.
