Weekly Webcomic Wrapup: new and exciting edition

by Ross Miller { Aug 19th 2007 at 3:35PM }

This edition is in honor of our dear readers who last week filled up commenter Neebs' inbox with a plethora of new and exciting replies. Which is itself au courant and titilating. (Image credit: uncleboatshoes)

There are no BioShock comics in this week's wrapup (that's current and electrifying); next week we're planning to have a BioShock-themed selection. Here are our picks for some neoteric and commoving gaming comics this week. Be sure to vote for your favorite!

The inclusion of the word 'loot' made the Extralife comic the funniest. Without that word it would have been okay...with it, comedy wins.

Shmil @ Aug 19th 2007 4:56PM

hehe loot

SergeXIII @ Aug 19th 2007 4:03PM

Persona 3 comic over at G'nerds2000!

Better luck next week :P

Neebs @ Aug 19th 2007 4:36PM

Whoa. No CAD, VGCats, or PA.

New and exciting.

Please barrage my inbox now.

Neebs @ Aug 19th 2007 4:39PM

Whoa! Holy crap Joystiq! I just actually read the post (usually I just go to the comics).

Do I feel special?

vidGuy @ Aug 19th 2007 4:46PM

I'm sure we can do a reply-chain again if you'd like Neebs.

Boring week, nothing made me even half-laugh.

Neebs @ Aug 19th 2007 4:52PM

Eh, feel free.

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 19th 2007 5:21PM

Reviving a chain? New and exciting!

Mr Khan @ Aug 19th 2007 5:24PM

A SWAT Kats avatar is new and exciting

Repeating the thing we did last week isn't ;)

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 19th 2007 5:39PM

Neebs @ Aug 19th 2007 6:01PM

If someone can make my avatar Mario-fied, I'd be happy :D.

Also, come on! You guys had about 10x many replies last week.

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 19th 2007 6:07PM

We're trying! But it wouldn't be new and exciting if it was just me spamming you.

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 19th 2007 6:13PM

Here is a new and exciting Mario-ified avatar for you.

Neebs @ Aug 19th 2007 6:15PM

Yay.

Stupidiot @ Aug 19th 2007 6:18PM

That Mario avatar would have been new and exciting a couple of weeks ago :p

Anyone else notice the machine says
EXCITING
JEW

Just goes to show that while Judaism is old, it still is exciting.

Rare Hare @ Aug 19th 2007 10:06PM

Jew and Exciting, even.

Slaziman @ Aug 19th 2007 10:45PM

hvnlysolder, can you make my avatar new and exciting?

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 19th 2007 10:56PM

Sure I'd be glad to give you an exciting and new avatar Slaziman. Just give me a raw picture of that guy and I'll put a Mario hat on him.

The Dave @ Aug 19th 2007 11:11PM

Avatar customization is new and exciting!

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 20th 2007 1:28AM

Sorry Slaziman I don't know the name of that guy and can't find him. Take these as consolation until I can find something else.

Slaziman @ Aug 20th 2007 2:28AM

You don't know the name of Master Chief? :(

Or does my avatar not look like Master Chief at all =(?!

Kye @ Aug 20th 2007 7:34AM

hi5 @ hvnlysoldr

chain reviving is exciting and new

Kye @ Aug 20th 2007 7:44AM

hvnlysoldr, is it possible for you to do a green hat with an L in it (A Luigi one basically) on this image of Link?

http://www.zeldaringtone.com/images/zelda-link.gif

A Mario hat will do fine if you cant.

Mr Khan @ Aug 19th 2007 4:51PM

"Unreal" just because of Itagaki

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 19th 2007 6:00PM

shivr @ Aug 19th 2007 5:25PM

'unreal' was defenatly the most clever...

Rare Hare @ Aug 19th 2007 5:27PM

This week's selection was totally not new and exciting. It was painfully lame :(.

tyler @ Aug 19th 2007 5:30PM

clever

Word of the street. @ Aug 19th 2007 6:18PM

@ hvnlysoldr.

Could you do the same with my avatar please?.

Unreal and Fish Training were the best.

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 19th 2007 6:51PM

Here is a version with the regular red Mario hat.

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 19th 2007 6:52PM

Here is one where the Mario hat is more matched to your avatar's color.

yacjuman @ Aug 19th 2007 6:24PM

i opened all the comics in tabs and i got one of those "drive cleaner" pop-ups that porn sites give you. thts like spyware or badware or something huh ? that sucks

Stupidiot @ Aug 19th 2007 6:54PM

o_0

Aberu @ Aug 19th 2007 7:27PM

I can't tell if unreal is a horrible unfunny webcomic, or if it's a pitch to G4 for an episode of Code Monkeys *shudder*.

Aex @ Aug 19th 2007 9:20PM

How you guys don't vote for the one with Dr. Tran in it, escapes me...

Word of the street. @ Aug 19th 2007 10:21PM

I didnt know of his exixtance until know,it wasnt really funny.a reference to Chocolate Rain or Rick roll'd would have been funnier.

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 19th 2007 10:50PM

Aex @ Aug 20th 2007 12:09AM

HAHA! I like the Mario hat on Rukia, I'm going to use that!

Thanks hvnlysoldr

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 20th 2007 12:40AM

I'm glad to be of service.

ThornedVenom @ Aug 19th 2007 9:48PM

I've actually enjoyed the Unreal comic because it pretty much illustrates my point of view on the matter. But Dueling Analogs get credits for inserting Dr. Tran as a cameo character. xD
