Second place goes to RPG-TV (you'll need this for context) and third is a virtual tie between Extra Life and Dueling Analogs. Thanks to everyone who voted; this Saturday we're planning to do an all-BioShock wrapup, so be sure to let us know of any related comics you stumble upon! (Regular format will return the week after.)
Here's the breakdown:

Bioshock has officially launched.. whoopee! or rather it will launch in a minute

Woo it's here....35% decrypting...
GamerCrusader @ Aug 21st 2007 4:30PM
Unlucky enough for me.. its stuck on decrypting.. the key was invalid for some stupid reason.. damned corruption!
Neebs @ Aug 21st 2007 4:41PM
Now mine is downloading more crap or something. 93% downloaded...I just want to play...

Really? This stale joke won? I'm all for the little guy, but this is like putting a gold-medalist from the Special Olympics on the Wheaties box.

No, no, no
The one with Dyack, Cliffy, and Itagaki was just as funny as this, and SO much more original

I'll quit spamming you a Mario edit of your picture off Google if you tell me right now. Because not spamming my Mario edits would be new and exciting.
T-bone and Razor @ Aug 21st 2007 4:52PM
If i tell you what?

You like it or not. I understand if I shrank horizontal. Or if you don't want Mario hats on them.
T-bone and Razor @ Aug 21st 2007 5:47PM
Well, duh. All the mario-ified avatars are cool, but the whole point of finding a screenshot of the actual SWAT Kats show (which was damn hard, its easy to find the fanart, but it doesn't have the charm of the original work, even though the fanart is much higher quality) was to go for authenticity. Authenticity is key, which is why i switched my name for the week
Oh yeah, it was also hard to find a shot of them without a "Cartoon Network" or "Boomerang" TV watermark

I'm sorry for spamming it's just that I didn't see any response. You want I can put a Mario hat on Kirby.

Its a shame it'll be an all bioshock week, since many will miss out on Awkward Zombie (www.awkwardzombie.com) and this week's Zelda OoT joke.
Ross Miller @ Aug 21st 2007 6:08PM
It'll be in the running for the week after; we're not going to forget about webcomics that come out this week not pertaining to Big Daddy
hvnlysoldr @ Aug 21st 2007 6:23PM
Featuring two week old comics. NEW AND EXCITING!
Ghen @ Aug 21st 2007 4:30PM
yay my pick won :P shame on all you haters! Just jump on the bandwagon.
Rare Hare @ Aug 21st 2007 4:46PM
While it was funny, I see no reason to vote for a joke I felt like I'd already seen several times before. It was definitely stale.
T-bone and Razor @ Aug 21st 2007 5:05PM
Yes: No denying it was funny, just that it wasn't funnier than "Unreal." Both gave me the same amount of chuckle, but you have to award originality
Dr. Nooooooooo @ Aug 22nd 2007 2:41PM
This comic shows that a good comic doesn't need to have great art.
(I'm downloading the rest of Bioshock off steam - it is taking FOREVER)
Joe Shieh @ Aug 21st 2007 5:18PM
Wow, thanks for the positive remarks T-bone! I'm just glad we were able to make the weekly wrap-up!

"am I a goomba dreaming i'm a man"
