I don't like Kirby, but the Kirby comic was amazing. The Master Chief Kirby is made of win with a dash of danger. I like it. There's even an EarthWorm Jim Kirby!
Ghen @ Mar 2nd 2008 7:19PM
While I understand the appeal I voted for a "comic" with a "joke" associated.
bigsim @ Mar 3rd 2008 6:17AM
I'm as bitter as they get towards VGCats, and the Kirby one was pretty cool.
This DA one is way better than the one in the poll:

100 kirbys, just for the shear effort. But, as usual, on the humor front, penny-arcade pwns.
Slaziman @ Mar 2nd 2008 7:27AM
Satupon, lol. I voted Kirbies because that's just amazing. I feel like a huge geek being able to tell from where most Kirbies came.
The Penny Arcade one was funny because it's typical for MMO fans to whine about updates.
Spoit @ Mar 2nd 2008 7:55AM
The trick is that you've got to read the 2pstart comic in rythem
copa @ Mar 2nd 2008 9:23AM
Maybe we should wait two weeks between Wrapups more often.
There were actually some good ones to choose from this time.
Almadi @ Mar 2nd 2008 9:02AM
Didn't make the wrap-up, but you might enjoy it:

Kirby #14 ftw!
Demaar @ Mar 2nd 2008 10:00AM
I wish there was a way that instead of voting for a comic I could give it a negative vote...
KS Rees @ Mar 2nd 2008 10:09AM
Weak week.
playwhutyalike @ Mar 2nd 2008 10:29AM
Lot of good choices I thought, Hijinks Ensue for me.
Morden Night @ Mar 2nd 2008 10:32AM
How the hell is 100 kirbies winning? It's not even a comic. It's more like a spreadsheet or something.
It's funny... but only chuckle funny.
Judd @ Mar 2nd 2008 10:37AM
Penny Arcade, just for the "Block Obama" character.
Classic.
Matthew @ Mar 2nd 2008 10:43AM
CAD is like Kristen Holt on G4's Cheat - just because you're talking about video games doesn't mean I'm interested.
Arteen @ Mar 2nd 2008 10:53AM
I'm trying to find the joke in 100 Kirbies. Help? I think "Marching to the beat of a different drum" is the best this week. It's like the Kirby comic, but with multiple clever jokes instead of no joke at all.
Mr Khan @ Mar 2nd 2008 11:02AM
Even though i'm a great Kirby fan, the Patapon one was just made of too much win.
Penny Arcade, DA, Action Trip, and DU were also good
Roto13 @ Mar 2nd 2008 11:25AM
I think the Kirby one is more of a sheet of a hundred potential avatars than a comic. :P
[.sm0ke.] @ Mar 2nd 2008 12:22PM
Already done. Epic Fail Kirby!
DarkLink117 @ Mar 2nd 2008 3:42PM
epic fail kirby is epic fail
Zertoss @ Mar 2nd 2008 12:24PM
This was a good week in gaming comics. Ninja Ken captured EXACTLY how I feel about the PS3.
Flealick @ Mar 2nd 2008 12:57PM
Good strips this week; lately, I've been struggling to find one comic worth a vote, finally this week I had to make a tough choice from quality goods.
waynski1457 @ Mar 2nd 2008 12:49PM
while i love the kirby comic (obviously...), i dont really consider it a comic per se. now if you had nominated the cooking mama one, then i would have voted for it in a heartbeat. as it stands tho, this week was pretty awesome, and im having trouble deciding which one to vote for.
Shmil @ Mar 2nd 2008 1:04PM
HEY EVERYONE ITS THE INTERNET SO LETS VOICE OUR OPINIONS!
everyone: YAAAA!!
CAD was incredibly lame
100 kirbies while quite impressive there's not actual joke to it
FoxTrot was full of win simply because its foxtrot
Office space parody gets some credit because office space is full of teh winz
Patapon takes the leady simply because of patapwn'd

Ninja Ken nailed my own PS3 story arch. I hated the mere idea of PS3 just last year, but I own one now and I love it.
I'm also the proud owner of a newly RROD'd 360 :(
hvnlysoldr @ Mar 3rd 2008 12:33AM
Me too.
Obie @ Mar 2nd 2008 2:00PM
Office space reference FTW.
Brian @ Mar 2nd 2008 2:15PM
I concur!
Phillip @ Mar 2nd 2008 2:19PM
Kirby was great, but then so was BreakDown. I think that would definitely make me buy a PS3.
CB @ Mar 2nd 2008 2:33PM
I lol'd at Block Obama.
Wilhelm @ Mar 2nd 2008 8:33PM
Good week.
riggs @ Mar 2nd 2008 2:50PM
i lol'd at patajon papelbon
ogvor @ Mar 2nd 2008 3:38PM
Lots of good ones this week. PA, Hijinks, and AT Comics all gave me a lauch, but 2P Start was just to great!
eight @ Mar 2nd 2008 4:16PM
Have to give it to 100 Kirbies... It's just too amazing.
Shignami @ Mar 2nd 2008 5:29PM
Digital Unrest for me, simply because its comforting knowing I wasn't the only one who worried about the plasmids thing.
Kye Grammar DF @ Mar 2nd 2008 5:35PM
The cooking mama one is the best ive seen this year.
The kirby one got my vote for being awesome.
Im also aware that since being a self-elected grammar defender im overly-cautious of making mistakes.
So for now on ill be raggin' on other people's grammar only. Me already has good grammar, trusts me.
Joe @ Mar 2nd 2008 5:37PM
Patajon Papelbon won it for me.
ThornedVenom (Harley Quinn Defense Force) @ Mar 2nd 2008 5:51PM
Good week in my opinion. The Kirby thing must had taken ages to finish. I can entirely relate to the breakdown for PS3 goodness. The Hijinks Ensue comic where they're beating the crap out of that HD-DVD attachment was a nice original touch to narrate webcomics. The Sixth Sense was win, and the Patapon one was really creative.
I voted the Sixth Sense because I don't think that the joke could ever get old.
PointyThings @ Mar 2nd 2008 7:10PM
Normally I think Dueling Analogs is pretty goddamn funny, but any of the Megaman ones are just the opposite.
And Buckley, don't quit your day job, unless it's webcomicing, in which case please quit it.
drun @ Mar 2nd 2008 8:10PM
That 100 kirbies are killin' me. But it will be better to write those names under each kirby.
Mr.ESC @ Mar 2nd 2008 8:37PM
Patajuan?
Okay fuck you 2pstart,just fuck you.
100 Kirbies FTW.
Deozaan @ Mar 2nd 2008 9:31PM
The only one that really made me laugh out loud was Ctrl-Alt-Del
Nguyen @ Mar 3rd 2008 2:28AM
that statement really makes me sad about the state of modern humor...
Deozaan @ Mar 3rd 2008 7:59AM
@Nguyen: "that statement really makes me sad about the state of modern humor..."
That's an interesting statement coming from someone who voted for a comic because of a reference to a 10 year old movie.
Nguyen @ Mar 3rd 2008 2:30AM
I had to give it to Hijinks Ensue because of the office space reference, although the Kirbies were really awesome.. but not like VG Cats need to win another wrapup, right?
umm....hello??? @ Mar 3rd 2008 11:17AM
lots of good comics this week....I always enjoy FoxTrot, CAD made me laugh hard, but I voted for the PS3 with FFVII...
obo @ Mar 3rd 2008 5:04PM
Screw this week, I nominate these for next week:
KC GREEN: http://capn-special.livejournal.com/98415.html
Truck Bearing Kibble: http://truckbearingkibble.com/comic/2008/03/03/the-treachery-of-base-building/
Zegim @ Mar 3rd 2008 9:33PM
I always wondered why people were so harsh on CAD.
Silly me, it simply blows.
Also: B^U
Voted for the Kirby just because is an avatar goldmine.
purpleduck @ Mar 4th 2008 1:31PM
your webcomic sucks and you should feel bad.
these blow.
