Sooo...
Where can I get a pair?

But seriously, that one was one of the funniest PA's I've ever read.

MowDownJoe @ Oct 12th 2008 10:41PM

Magnum Opus or The Great Divide? I thought neither was funny, and the other one that they did this week was their best. I mean... "Beta Whisperer"... it's genius!

Lionbacker @ Oct 12th 2008 10:44PM

The tournemon, part one.

But beta whisperer was kinda funny.

Skor @ Oct 12th 2008 10:42PM

Shucks, I ruined each comic having 1 vote.

Young_Nastyman @ Oct 12th 2008 10:51PM

2P Start gets my vote

ZaxCG2 @ Oct 13th 2008 9:31AM

Same. They always have clever ideas... unlike PA.

Ranus Studios @ Oct 12th 2008 11:07PM

2P Start amused the hell out of me.

Yourself @ Oct 12th 2008 11:07PM

Like usual, I have to vote for PA because I agree with what they said. However, also like usual, it wasn't really any less unfunny than the others.

Jawmuncher @ Oct 12th 2008 11:14PM

Burn The Internet get's my vote

j.howlett @ Oct 12th 2008 11:24PM

i'm torn, who to pick?

Meta @ Oct 13th 2008 12:16AM

That one!

Kellydude025 @ Oct 12th 2008 11:54PM

what does sidescroller have to do with video games anyways?

Just Mr ESC. @ Oct 13th 2008 12:15AM

Penny Arcade,I lol'd when they mentioned AutoCAD.

Obie @ Oct 13th 2008 12:31AM

2P Start has been rockin' with the creative stuff.
GG guys!

Roto13 @ Oct 13th 2008 12:59AM

Castle Vidcons was awesome. xP

Nuclear Chauffeur @ Oct 13th 2008 2:27AM

Wow. This was a pretty good week.

EBH @ Oct 13th 2008 4:13AM

Nice one, 2p Start!

Shader @ Oct 13th 2008 5:53AM

Hard one between Burn the Internet and 2P Start, but my vote goes to 2P Start.

Neebs @ Oct 13th 2008 6:36AM

Didn't vote this week.
Fanboys is made of SO MUCH FUCKING WIN today though

Monkey Thing?!!? @ Oct 13th 2008 8:00AM

Vidcons for me, sometimes the efforts at cleverness obscure the funny, but not this time.

MNC Dover @ Oct 13th 2008 8:09AM

2P start for me. Mario and Q-Bert's expressions were priceless.

Kyattsuai @ Oct 13th 2008 10:35AM

I'm not saying this simply because I'm in the poll myself, but how much longer will the "let's make wangs in games with user-created content" jokes go?

Conor @ Oct 13th 2008 12:22PM

2P Start was the best in my opinion.

Chris @ Oct 13th 2008 5:55PM

Comic about the newly announced Activision game "Secret Service" over at IndoorHeroes.com

http://www.indoorheroes.com/?s=254

Hope you like it enough to include it :)

Thranx @ Oct 13th 2008 6:00PM

Magnum Opus, because you know it's true.

DS Chat anyone?

alienmastermind @ Oct 13th 2008 9:06PM

I voted again for PA. Man, the art is just awesome...I am consistently jealous of those guys.

And, again, I've got a comic...It's Dipswitch...over at www.playitreviewit.com/dipswitch/archive

Please read it. :)
