LOL! That poster in in my U.S History class.
RunsWithFire @ Sep 8th 2007 7:52PM
Weird...that poster is in my U.S. History class as well...
Do I know you?
Mrs. Norman by chance?
eip @ Sep 8th 2007 8:28PM
...
It's a famous poster you guys. I'm sure plenty of classrooms have it (including at my old high school).
Bob @ Sep 9th 2007 1:57PM
It seems they don't actually teach history in those classrooms anymore.
Neebs @ Sep 8th 2007 3:35PM
Sigh, I know it sounds wrong, me being the New and Exciting Guy, but PA was ACTUALLY funny this week and actually funnier than any of the other entries.
Patrick @ Sep 8th 2007 3:49PM
I preferred the earlier PA comic, "Getting Down". But I guess they're going with the Lair theme.
Fullmetal Salchemist @ Sep 8th 2007 3:47PM
No CAD? No Dueling Analogs? There is a god....
Word of the street. @ Sep 8th 2007 4:08PM
digitalunrest was cool but that 2P start strip was made of gold haha.
Kazi @ Sep 8th 2007 4:38PM
These are all pretty lame. Can't you guys pick out some good comics?
Dig @ Sep 8th 2007 6:03PM

We're looking for constructive criticism here. What are some comics they could have used?
Kazi @ Sep 8th 2007 6:27PM
Hey, I was just following instructions.
Lewis @ Sep 8th 2007 4:38PM
I say its between PA, 2p Start and Digital Unrest.
And DU made me laugh most.
Id vote for the PA one if i actually played Lair.
Which (thank god) I didn't
Lewis @ Sep 8th 2007 4:40PM
Bah: ERROR, i meant 2P START made me laugh most, DU gave me a chuckle
2P FTW!
Captain Jody Anthony XVIII @ Sep 8th 2007 4:46PM
digital unrest is the only one to make me laugh, although 2pstart and penny arcade made me smile.
DU it is for me
Ghost @ Sep 8th 2007 4:55PM
Wow, Penny Arcade was actually funny this week...
Lewis @ Sep 8th 2007 5:00PM
Speaking of comics...WTF is up with VG Cats? Did Scott die or something?
Flamehearted @ Sep 8th 2007 5:43PM
Mmm - none of those made me laugh this week :(
Daecrist @ Sep 8th 2007 5:45PM
I think that after his last extended absence he realized that he could go to posting one comic every six months and still get all the ad and merchandising revenue. Wouldn't be the first time an artist decided to coast on their past success.
Chancy @ Sep 8th 2007 5:45PM
I don't mean to be a grammar Nazi, but the fanboys big a huge grammar boo-boo. Albeit being a big fan of their work...here's what I have to say to them: You're not getting my vote this week!
vidGuy @ Sep 8th 2007 6:10PM
Haha, I was just going to say the same thing. If you are going to stay home to do comics, at least spell check the damn things! No vote for you!
DangerMouse @ Sep 8th 2007 5:45PM
Marketing 101 got my vote. Not sure if the last one was funny or not, since reading all the other boring ones preceding it made me lose interest, so i stopped.
Oh, and it's "you're invited" to the person who did the expo one, not "your invited". But it doesn't matter, it wasn't funny.
Fernando Rocker @ Sep 8th 2007 5:49PM
My vote is for 2p Start
The truth is always funny.
Frowelishnu @ Sep 8th 2007 5:53PM
Is the guy who does Robotronic Dynamite related to one of the bloggers here?
He only has five comics and they all are pretty terrible.
For the love of Flying Spaghetti Monster, make it stop!
JoE @ Sep 8th 2007 8:57PM
No, I'm not related to any of the dudes who blog here. I'm just having fun doodlin' on my free time. Sorry that the comics have visually assaulted your eyes and raped your integrity. (^_^)
Frowelishnu @ Sep 8th 2007 10:21PM
Oh Jebus... I'm such a jerk!
I should have known that the artist might see my comment.
Sorry JoE, I guess your stuff just doesn't float my boat/blow my goat.
Joe Shieh @ Sep 8th 2007 10:35PM
Haha, s'okay. I'll take it as constructive criticism. Need to up my game!
The strip is actually a mini-side project to our podcast...which is an AUDIO ORGASM!
elmersglue @ Sep 8th 2007 5:57PM
Yeah those all sucked...on a brighter note, Skate got a 9.0 on IGN, thats pretty cool.
Word of the street. @ Sep 8th 2007 6:33PM
And even so GS SW posters are complaining about it.
In other news I saw the N.E.D.M and N.E.E.M coustesy of my stupid curiosity.Feel free to see them beacuse God how I regret seeing that crap,Hell I never thought there would be anything worst than Goatse.
Vegnagun @ Sep 8th 2007 7:21PM
The kitties are burning!
Slaziman @ Sep 8th 2007 7:53PM
On the 360. The PS3 version got an 8.8 because of aliasing issues, blurry look, and framerate hitches.
elmersglue @ Sep 8th 2007 9:07PM
thanks for pointing that out, didn't realize that...How nice :)
Word of the street. @ Sep 8th 2007 10:02PM
Did you watch it too?,Man that was the sickest thing I have saw in my entire life.
shadow024 @ Sep 8th 2007 7:12PM
PA was pretty funny this time.
Vegnagun @ Sep 8th 2007 7:18PM
Lair did make me feel strong emotions.
Anyone know any dragon pr0n sites? I gots to get me some poorly controlled dragon secks.
Word of the street. @ Sep 8th 2007 7:54PM
Seitokaiba.Arggg!/Dragoonsecks
Slaziman @ Sep 8th 2007 7:29PM
2P start.
Actually the comment from IGN was the funny part, but who cares.
Daniel @ Sep 8th 2007 7:35PM
Personally I think Penny Arcade has gone seriously down hill over the last year and a bit, however this strip is definitely a return to form. No swearing which is only funny if your five, no trying to be funny by being politically un-correct which is only funny if your in your early teens just simple irony. For once I'm going against the grain by voting for PA instead of against it, and it feels good.
blooh @ Sep 9th 2007 1:21AM
they usually don't swear just to swear, they do it because that's how they actually talk
Daniel @ Sep 9th 2007 4:41PM
Well in that case it seems many of their strips go by without an actual punchline. Please don't feel the need to get all defensive though, I used to love PA, my point is just that lately I haven't found them even close to funny. I haven't even been able to see why others _would_ find them funny like I have with other comics (beyond the swearing or paedophilia, etc jokes). I really hope this is a return to form for them.
NintendoFanbot @ Sep 8th 2007 9:08PM
I think Gabe likes drawing kittens. :P
Lemmiwinks @ Sep 8th 2007 9:19PM
kittens and bees ftw. 2P was just *barely* a cut above the others
MNC Dover @ Sep 8th 2007 11:47PM
The Mario Bee one was pretty, uh, disturbing. It gets my vote!
No MNC again this week? What did we do to deserve this? :( If your interested, check out:

BPM @ Sep 9th 2007 1:46AM
DU was great. I also liked 2P, PA, and Fanboys.
Steve @ Sep 9th 2007 2:09AM
2pstart was down for me, so I had to vote for DU.
Lots of "Ah-so" comics making fun of Asians this week. What do Asians have to do with tequila? What am I missing?
BPM @ Sep 9th 2007 3:13AM
Stranglehold just came out.
Eschatos @ Sep 9th 2007 10:17AM
Where the hell is the Three Panel Soul Bioshock comic? Easily the best Bioshock comic yet.

holyice7 @ Sep 9th 2007 10:29AM
How strange that they have Rosie the Riviter up there.
BioShock comics were last week's bit.
J-Guy @ Sep 9th 2007 11:01AM
DU got my vote.
Shmil @ Sep 9th 2007 11:43AM
these are all lame
you should have used check boxes rather than radio buttons so we can vote for them all faster
refinedsugar @ Sep 9th 2007 3:56PM
The drawing was crude, but effective - Strangehold's sliding mania ftw.
