Ross Miller: Mar 23rd 2008; 3:40PM

You know ... delete, the crazy new comic that all the kids are reading these days ...

ApolloIV: Mar 23rd 2008; 3:41PM

OH FUCK YOU ROSS MILLER FUCK YOU! I won't spoil what it is, but fuck you!

ApolloIV: Mar 23rd 2008; 3:42PM

On a less swear filled comment, MNC tickled my fancy this week.

Fernando Rocker: Mar 23rd 2008; 3:45PM

Ohh... I want to know =(

Tiptup300: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:47PM

Damn you, I accidently missed it, but after reading I saw what it was.

Nomi: Mar 23rd 2008; 5:28PM

I usually ctrl + click and open all the comics in separate tabs. Then all of a sudden I hear it. Good One!

Flyy;;: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:04PM

godFUCKING damnit, i'm never ready

Mr.ESC: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:48PM

I suspected something when I saw the link but then I thought “it's joystiq they wouldn't do it “ and suddenly...

Seriously Ross I expect that from Kotaku anyday but here, shame on shaameee on you!!!

oddEvan: Mar 23rd 2008; 8:07PM

FREAKING A, JOYSTIQ! FREAKING A! (though I do appreciate using the video-game flavr'd version)

Liquid Ocelot (call me Liquid): Mar 23rd 2008; 3:41PM

LMAO! 1 VOTE FOR EACH!

JBob: Mar 23rd 2008; 3:48PM

WOW portal comic DEFINTELY! come on where is it on the poll!?!?! that one pretty much made my day, too...

Lijik: Mar 23rd 2008; 3:56PM

I know, that was the only one that was relatively funny to me. I'm being serious, I'm not going to spoil what it is, but I laughed my ass off.

Anonymous: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:02PM

The portal comic is a lie!

Poisoned Al: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:41PM

Ghen: Mar 24th 2008; 5:02PM

Thanks Al =) Makes me feel better after Ross DESTROYED MY BRAIN!

RPore: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:04PM

I hate when you're trying to DJ at a party and people go up to the computer and change the song you're playing. They should put stuff like that in these comics.

MNC Dover: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:07PM

That portal comic is great, but I must vote for the MNC one, mainly because I wrote it. I'm thinking I may be a bit biased.

Thanks for the vote Apollo, but the real question is are you a Zerg, Toss, or Terran man?

ApolloIV: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:29PM

Well from what I've heard I believe that I'm going to roll with the buggies in number 2 but in the first one I was all protoss. I wouldn't mind getting my ass kicked by you sometime Dover.

MNC Dover: Mar 23rd 2008; 11:26PM

Sure anytime. I still play on Battle.net from time to time. I'm MNCDover on the USEast gateway. Shoot an email over to dover@mondaynightcrew.com and we can set up a game. That goes for anyone else in Joystiq land.

Oh, that Marine was about to single handedly own that Ultralisk. Terran for life!

Jasper: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:43PM

I vote for:

http://www.the-minusworld.com/comic

Wish others had the option to vote as well...

Shignami: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:45PM

Honestly, the chans produce alot of quality gaming comics that are never published or have their own website.

the last one got my hopes up.

But I think the day I see a "Bald, Pig-like" comic in the wrapup is the day I quit coming here.

JakubK666: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:54PM

It's a fucking Rick-Roll. A very original Rick-roll nevertheless but can we please get the fuck over with all those memes?

Roto13: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:54PM

Why is the Portal comic a mario paint song? D:

Okänd: Mar 23rd 2008; 5:26PM

Lurk moar.

Poisoned Al: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:32PM

Hello, and welcome to the internet. Enjoy your stay.

Mr.ESC: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:44PM

Be glad you weren't here in the days of Goatse.cx,Lemonparty and Meatspin.

Culhag: Mar 23rd 2008; 4:58PM

I'd like to vote for the "portal comic" but there's no option for it...

Neebs: Mar 23rd 2008; 5:02PM

I've been Rossrolled!

Double J: Mar 23rd 2008; 5:28PM

You dirty son of a bitch.

Shmil (Brawl Code 2621-2310-1994): Mar 23rd 2008; 5:55PM

DAMN YOU MILLER! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!!!

Shmil (Brawl Code 2621-2310-1994): Mar 23rd 2008; 6:00PM

i voted for slackerz, i'm not sure why but i literally chuckle to myself for all of the slackerz comics, which is more than i can say about some other webcomics i read, especially about two engaged gamers who are having an unexpected baby

Mr.ESC: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:52PM

I agree with you and I know you are being Subtle but you mean CAD right? Because for Penny arcade that would be effing weird man.

Shmil (Brawl Code 2621-2310-1994): Mar 23rd 2008; 7:14PM

yeah i'm talking about CAD, its uncanny, i started reading CAD about 2 years ago when Buckley was actually making comics about video games but i haven't been able to stop reading it. I blame my addiction to the internet

Mr.ESC: Mar 23rd 2008; 7:57PM

I mentioned penny arcade as a joke.

Anyway if you ask me the whole internet stop being funny,the people using the internet are being more aggressive and stupid than ever and the lack of original material is killing us.

A quick example:

-Um this is Sparta!,Am I funny?

-Nobody says this is Sparta anymore.

-Oh I see um what about Longcat?

-Shut up, just shut up.

-Hey you used a coma incorrectly you must be one r*t*rd*d f*g son of a b*tch,return to Canada you s*** whor*.

-Actually he used correctly.

-No he didn’t you r*t*rd lover you mother is a wh*r* ololololololololololololol. I’m funny!

-You are a troll and you are being stupid

Then after a while the troll and whoever replied to the troll gets banned because mods don’t know the difference between regular posters and trolls.

ApolloIV: Mar 23rd 2008; 8:13PM

The internet is still funny, Mr.Esc your just jaded. I agree with you a lot of people use dead memes. Like when OVER 9000 emerged(again wtf) I was shaking my head. But SA and some of the other chans hold some funny.

Lewis: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:18PM

god damn you miller.

its a first for me

Poisoned Al: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:33PM

BUNNY!

Mr Khan: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:35PM

A solid week for all, but Dueling Analogues just has the kind of stupid humor that tickles my fancy

Gamer PALs did well for having Birdo symbolize the androgynous bathroom, and tip of the sword gets points for truth

eipxen: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:37PM

your portal comic just took me an had its way with me

top comic of the week by far

eip: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:41PM

Weak selection this week. The only thing that got me to laugh was the Portal comic.

Mr.ESC: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:43PM

Did Joystiq just rick roll'd me?

ApolloIV: Mar 23rd 2008; 8:12PM

They also took your anal virginity all at once. Joystiq is a cruel cruel place.

EMaster: Mar 23rd 2008; 6:54PM

Once again none of these are funny except the Youtube vid.

TheOverlord#2 (will beat you with Toon Link!)(1461-5875-9923): Mar 23rd 2008; 7:06PM

I vote for this: www.smouch.net/lol/

I Love Mario Paint Remixes! Make it vote-able!
I choose "The Trap is Set", I think its funny anytime something serious turns to someone playing with toys in a comic. x3

Mr.ESC: Mar 23rd 2008; 7:59PM

If you like Mario paint there is a software that emulates it in your PC.I have it but it doesn't work as well as the Snes version.

The name is Mario paint composer Pc.Check also Phun.

TheOverlord#2 (will beat you with Toon Link!)(1461-5875-9923): Mar 23rd 2008; 10:47PM

x3
Thanks, Mr ESC but I don't have a computer at the moment...and I probably would just look at youtube videos after playing SSBB for an hour and got a little bored. :D

I enjoy techno-remixes of old video game songs. I know it isn't a remix, but I have fallen in love with the Kid Icarus Original on SSBB, its just the bleeps that are matched together perfectly sound good and have a nostalgia factor.
(end long comment)

Jacksons: Mar 23rd 2008; 8:51PM

I've just been painted! Control-clicked 'em all and started hearing good ol "Never gonna give you up." Woot, Astley.

nmezib: Mar 23rd 2008; 8:58PM

NOOO! I thought I was through with it! but the RickRoll KEEPS PULLING ME BACK!

goddammit that's like the third time this week. The mass effect comic had tickled me silly though...
