Weekly Webcomic Wrapup: not just Halo 3 edition

(Page 1) Reader Comments

Mr Khan: Sep 29th 2007; 4:53PM

Damn, LOTS of good ones this week

However, i'll vote for life choices (Digital Unrest), because truth is often funnier than fiction, and the personification was spot on

2pstart, goats, actiontrip, and godmode i would vote for too if i had a 5-port IP address switcher...

Jerk Face: Sep 30th 2007; 10:28PM

Seriously? What a bunch of shit worthy comics!

I think all the Halo 3 went to the artists' brains.

The last one is good. I guess.

MNC Dover: Sep 29th 2007; 4:53PM

Alright, we made the list! Our comic is a funnier if you saw the PAX Omegathon final. That was me totally noobing out in Halo. Ah well, there is always next year.

YoYoBoY: Sep 29th 2007; 5:04PM

That last one was great :D

TJ0331: Sep 29th 2007; 5:08PM

Wow, like that penny arcade one, I should of hired a kid to read those for me. They were painfully boring. I guess it is safe to say Halo is tapped out of any comic goodness.

rTwelve: Sep 29th 2007; 5:09PM

Mario Cantone narrates the Sunsilk commercials? I didn't know that...

Oh wait, what? Webcomics? Uh... DA made me lol.

Drew: Sep 29th 2007; 5:22PM

Wow a Godmode online one that kicks ass, I'm voting for that

Anticrawl: Oct 1st 2007; 4:29AM

I agree, the God Mode one was perfect. I always thought Bungie sounded fishy when they said, "Hail to the Chief!"

I knew his cover was blown when he landed in a crater in the first level and said, "I feel like drinking a gallon of turpentine and pissing out a brush fire."***

*** - NOTE: Never happened.

CJC: Sep 29th 2007; 5:33PM

7 out of these 10 are actually awesome? Somebody call Satan and tell him there's a blizzard on the way.

I can't even vote, knowing I'd be denying another worthy comic recognition.

Tim Harding: Sep 29th 2007; 5:52PM

Gotta hand it to God Mode, that's a great comic.

Kn1ves: Sep 29th 2007; 6:00PM

God mode stole my idea, ive been saying that for years now.

blooh (CDF - Ass Ring): Sep 29th 2007; 6:00PM

boy they picked the worst PA from this week's 3

sOmar: Sep 29th 2007; 6:05PM

Yup God Mode takes it this week

portuga-man: Sep 29th 2007; 6:26PM

actiontrip+the muppets deserve my vote

Raikage (NDF - PK THUNDER RING): Sep 29th 2007; 6:59PM

This is my first time ever reading these, I love the Master Nukem one, but I had to go with the sword across the galaxy one(since I knew the other would win...). LOL n00bKilla and princessponypuff!

I'll have to read these more often...

Kye (NDF - Earth Ring): Sep 29th 2007; 7:09PM

I was going to vote for Slakerz until I read Godmode.

It was the funniest (to me) but even if it wasn't I woulda voted for it anyway. (Outs respect as I've been bitchin that its never included)

On a side note, I'm back temporarily. Internet problem (does not paying your AOL bill count as a problem?) Any NDF news I should be aware of? Fernando; report please.

Rubang B (NDF - Heart): Sep 29th 2007; 7:40PM

Welcome back Kye. The NDF's doing great. Since the Haloz is not technically HD, all the 360 fans have joined us in our gameplay over graphics crusade. We have won that battle. Next on our agenda: eating phattie alive.

Raikage (NDF - PK THUNDER RING): Sep 29th 2007; 7:46PM

Also, Fernando has ambushed his enemy, now being in the form of KillJebus.

Sibling of, Offspring of, or the actuall Jack of No Trades/Godisamyth, we know not of at this point.

One more thing, the PSP has owned the DS this week...

Mr Khan: Sep 29th 2007; 8:19PM

We haven't gotten the September surprise Reggie promised us...
Unless it comes tommorrow.
and hvnlysoldr's AWOL

NekoMode: Sep 30th 2007; 2:25AM

Dude 680p is still HD. Hell 480p is considered HD. It is just not 720p HD source images. Look at the post you will notice that MANY other games are being upscaled on BOTH the 360 and PS3. It is nothing new just Halo's high profile. Shut up now your making yourself look retarded.

Rubang B (NDF - Heart): Sep 30th 2007; 5:35AM

Quick recap for NekoMode who has been misinformed:

480i is SDTV.
480p is EDTV.
720p and up is HDTV.

Unless you're in Australia, where HD starts at 576p. So Halo 3 is technically HD in Australia, but ED in the rest of the world.

Unless you're gonna go change the facts at this page:

hvnlysoldr: Sep 30th 2007; 4:32PM

I'm not AWOL. I told you guys (NDF) two weeks in advance that I was going home. I'll have to stay off the front lines and my sheer daily posting numbers is at a stand still. I liked 2PStart

Korova: Oct 1st 2007; 7:20AM

What, what, Whaaaat?!

Master Chief has ED!

I can recommend a couple of things for that. Eat more steak and Cialis is good, although Viagra is the original ED cure.

Lewis: Sep 29th 2007; 7:23PM

Slackerz FTW.

LMAO

Nomi: Sep 29th 2007; 8:00PM

Wow...really bad line up this week, only one that made me chuckle was godmode...

Joe: Sep 29th 2007; 10:08PM

God Mode sucks. That joke could be used well, but there was no comedic timing at all.

Not to mention, WALL OF TEXT.

I voted Slackerz. Bookmarked it, also.

Kelikan: Sep 30th 2007; 12:35AM

Reading is hard for you on a text based medium!?

Sensai: Sep 29th 2007; 10:57PM

God dammit....

ThornedVenom: Sep 29th 2007; 11:23PM

2PStart was had a really awesome presentation. MNC was pretty classic but accurate. Digital Unrest is something I can relate to.

But holy shit, I hadn't epically laughed as much with God Mode in a loooong time.

ThornedVenom: Sep 29th 2007; 11:24PM

"was had"...LOL.

Otis Whitaker: Sep 30th 2007; 1:35AM

The Slackerz comic kind of annoyed me... because the Sword is severely nerfed in Halo 3.. so it's no longer a problem.
Still funny.. but it just irked me because of that :/

rowd149: Sep 30th 2007; 1:48AM

Voted Godmode. That was brilliant. Still, it's a day early for Mindfuck Monday.

Scott Smith: Sep 30th 2007; 1:58AM

Otis:

I made the comic a day before Halo 3 came out, so I was speculating.

I LOVE that they nerfed the sword. Love it.

Nicolas Redfern: Sep 30th 2007; 6:42AM

I quite like this Penny Arcade comic from a long time ago: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2001/12/26

meist3r: Sep 30th 2007; 7:14AM

Definitely Godmode this week, the idea of finding a HD stripclub of some sorts or crap into the neck of a spider tank is just hilarious.

Klink258: Sep 30th 2007; 9:18AM

That last one was hilarious.

Jeff: Sep 30th 2007; 10:15AM

All the comics are amazing this week.

And I just wanted to say how much I love these weekly roundups; I'm too lazy to bookmark and check out these websites myself, but when I'm forced by joystiq, I love them.

NintendoFanbot: Sep 30th 2007; 10:48AM

Duke Nukem + Bruce Campbell = Master Chief = WIN

The Sonic one would be funnier if the game was actually bad, which it isn't. But it's does good rips on the rest of the Sonic universe.

matt: Sep 30th 2007; 2:18PM

Well that depends. What do you bring to this game that is NEW and EXCITING?

Critique on the recent decline on the Sonic franchise and reference to Joystiq injokes gets 2PStart my vote.

Mr Khan: Sep 30th 2007; 4:06PM

Yeah, i noticed that too. Neebs has to feel honored, his comment is now known across teh internetz

hvnlysoldr: Sep 30th 2007; 4:34PM

I liked 2PStart and GodMode.

Slaziman: Sep 30th 2007; 6:57PM

2Pstart, godmode

WiNG: Sep 30th 2007; 11:54PM

God Mode FTW. Nice friggin joke.

Also why don't you take a couple minutes to check out the funniest video game series online?

Life in a Game!
Episode 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=TyXUVd2c83c
Episode 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=J9nTx0nLX8U

And before the haters show up, just watch the vid first. You will be too busy LOLing to complain! Over 2k hits per day! Episode 3 coming soon.

GRANTED: Oct 1st 2007; 9:51AM

i could crap on a spoon, post a picture, call it "halo 3 spoiler" and get 5k hits a day. big deal.

ALH: Oct 1st 2007; 3:24AM

not one of those was funny :\

BPM (FDF - Hypno-Toad): Oct 1st 2007; 5:07AM

I think the people who say none of the comics were funny... they all have sense-of-humor cancer. Which, sadly, has no cure.

My vote goes to Dueling Analogs this week.
2PStart, Digital Unrest, and Action Trip were great.

And, it's the end of the universe, there was a God Mode that was actually funny!

beans: Oct 1st 2007; 7:35AM

holy shit... these made for retards?

statler and waldorf is slightly amusing, but the other ones are worse than the shit that's played on the disney channel and nickelodeon

GRANTED: Oct 1st 2007; 9:49AM

congrats joystiq readers. proving once again that playing video games all day and never leaving the house gives you no sense of humor.

slackers and statler and waldorf were the only funny ones. duke nukem forever was an interesting spin but horrible execution. and "legendary is a chore" OMG LOL no not really.
