woah... they all have one vote. swooky.
The_Punisher @ May 24th 2008 8:44PM
they're all....bad....
Demaar @ May 24th 2008 8:52PM
Yes, but some are worse than others.
Demaar @ May 24th 2008 8:51PM
God damn Dual Analogs, keep your thrashing envy at bay, please.
B^U had promise up until the last panel, ugh. Why can't he make a joke, like, EVER?!
Vegeta (aka Ska Oreo) @ May 25th 2008 1:33AM
He ruins his jokes with the massive amounts of dialogue in his comics.
BPM [MKWii: 2578 3585 8392] @ May 25th 2008 3:08AM
General rule of B^U:
It's a lot funnier if you cut out panels 2 and 3. Sometimes panel 4 is all you really need.
Sam406 @ May 24th 2008 8:51PM
For some reason I can't pick a winner here.
Either they are all equally good or they all suck equally, I can't seem to decide
TheOverlord#2 can has Mario Karts?(MK:2578-3517-9859) @ May 24th 2008 8:52PM
I wonder which one Fernando will vote for?
TheOverlord#2 can has Mario Karts?(MK:2578-3517-9859) @ May 24th 2008 9:11PM
Voted for Penny Arcade, but VGCats is a little bit special to me cause I used to play Pokemon until after Emerald(Still have my copy of Pokemon Red!). I'll probably join in next color/mineral generation though.(They've sucked me back in with Online play!)
LaughingTarget @ May 24th 2008 8:56PM
I'm voting for Fat Sonic cause I'm a physics nerd.
mr mobius @ May 25th 2008 11:11AM
Except he confused the term mass and the term momentum.
Chris @ May 25th 2008 3:12PM
Actually, I didn't. It may seem strange and wrong at first glance, but it's what special relativity predicts and it's what happens in reality. However, the effects don't become noticeable unless you are moving at a substantial fraction of light speed, which humans never do (yet).
LaughingTarget @ May 25th 2008 4:24PM
Yup, speed increases, mass increases and relative time slows down.
ApolloIV @ May 24th 2008 8:58PM
Million Dollar Arcade got my vote this week. As a Penny Arcade fan you have to get that feeling sometimes. CAD was really really awful this week though :(.
Demaar @ May 24th 2008 10:18PM
Except that, you know, they may be motivated by things OTHER THAN MONEY. Don't let DA's seething jealousy sway your feelings.
BPM [MKWii: 2578 3585 8392] @ May 25th 2008 3:09AM
Apollo, you say that as if B^U was ever funny...
Neebs @ May 24th 2008 9:16PM
I can't believe I'm only the second person to vote for A Turn of Events.
steve @ May 24th 2008 9:33PM
Honestly, I really didn't like any of these too much. The best one was the "up down up down" charade that really isn't all that funny anymore. (they forgot the "Fatality" part at the end)
To be honest, the best comic this week is the combination of fear and loathing in Las Vegas and Super Mario Bros. for the "Today in Joystiq" post.
Demaar @ May 24th 2008 10:21PM
Which comic are you talking about? Because if you mean Robot Martini, that's not a fatality, that's the Konami code.
JerJer @ May 24th 2008 9:36PM
vgcats is always funny.
thats what you get for a one update a week. it's gotta be gold. and it always is.
Double J @ May 24th 2008 9:48PM
So, what? Is CAD just shitty now or all they going through some sort of funny dry spell? I use to love that shit.
Neuropod @ May 24th 2008 10:48PM
CAD has always been shitty, but this is pretty bad even by shit standards.
Kira @ May 24th 2008 10:57PM
CAD was funny... once. It really lost it about a year ago, but Tim Buckley scores a funny every once in a while.
PA and DA were both great this week, and anyone who labels Dueling Analogs should read the news post, especially if they don't understand the webcomic community.
Ranko @ May 24th 2008 10:57PM
That judge in the CAD comic died from TEXT WALL.
Neebs @ May 24th 2008 11:03PM
died from B^U.
Shignami @ May 24th 2008 11:45PM
The writing is so causticly bad even his own characters are suffering from ill health effects.
TheOverlord#2 can has Mario Karts?(MK:2578-3517-9859) @ May 24th 2008 11:21PM
Does anyone know when Super Effective 05 is coming out?
On May 13th, Scott said he'll update on a Thursday...but that's obviously not gonna happen this week(5/18-5/24)
svenhoek @ May 25th 2008 2:16AM
Am I the only one who thought Married to the Sea was god-damned hilarious?
Macroy @ May 25th 2008 2:28AM
"Penny Arcade is the godfather of webcomics. I know other well-known webcomics came before them. But Penny Arcade changed the rules. They took a format that was only seen by few and made it global enterprise (with lots of credit going to Robert Khoo's marketing prowess). The number one webcomic in the world. Largest video game convention in North America. And now their own video game: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. And if this game succeeds it can send the message that webcomics can make profitable premises for video games. Much like PvP and MegaTokyo did for print.
Kudos, Tycho and Gabe. This is definitely an awesome accomplishment."
what part of that says "thrashing envy"? did you even read the post?
Demaar @ May 25th 2008 6:52AM
He changed the news post.
rowd149 @ May 25th 2008 7:13PM
@Demaar:
...Don't be an ass.
Kira @ May 26th 2008 12:23AM
@ Demaar
Screenshot or it didn't happen
chez @ May 25th 2008 4:24AM
Another vote for PA, so true! First time I voted for them as well...
ScottyGEE @ May 25th 2008 5:10AM
VGcats for me. Its a humorous representation of the way I think about Pokemon now.
tc @ May 25th 2008 10:41AM
Very lazy PA, even by their standards.
HarDCoRe ManSTuFF tomato STyLE @ May 25th 2008 11:08AM
this one should have been in the line-up
this rules and would be a ok new catch phrase

Mr Khan @ May 25th 2008 11:53AM
I liked Digital Unrest, if only for that sample picture they put with the Turtle with the rocket on its back
Really a weak week overall, though
aristokrat @ May 25th 2008 1:26PM
What does B^U mean exactly? I think I've surmised it has to do with CAD, but for the life of me I can't think of anything?
Donald @ May 26th 2008 11:34AM
It's a representation of the facial expression of every character in the strip.
Also to explain the CAD rule as I understand it:
- Panel 1 stays the same
- Panel 2 and 3 removed
- Panel 4 has text removed
bigd7387 @ May 25th 2008 4:39PM
It's a shame not enough people can understand "the Case" comic this week. It's probable one of the better comics that's been released. Oh well, like the Judge dieing of the stupidity of people then I can understand how the comic wouldn't win.
NobleArc, The Lazy Canadian @ May 25th 2008 6:34PM
I totally agree with VGCats on the Pokemon issue. I remember when there were 151, and it was great. Then Gold/Silver came out, and I was crushed. I haven't picked up a Pokemon game (other than Leaf Green/Fire Red) since. =(
Superstar90 @ May 25th 2008 10:48PM
ya! change is the devil! new stuff sucks!
navstar @ May 26th 2008 12:39AM
VG Cats is consistently more original and funnier than PA.
El Verde @ May 26th 2008 12:40PM
"D'aaaaaaw" is the best punchline evar
Thanks again for including Sidescroller!
