Readers pick best webcomic: A penetrating look

by Ross Miller on Dec 16th 2008 9:00PM

Although they totally forgot about Quincy, the dyanmic duo at Penny Arcade managed to capture the spirit of PlayStation's Home quite aptly in just three strips. Thus it's with (we presume) bittersweet agreement that A Penetrating Look was voted best gaming comic this week.

Second and third place go to newcomer Town Folks by newcomer Brawl in the Family and Ball and Stick by personal favorite Digital Unrest, respectively. This is it for me and webcomic wrapup, Griffin takes over this Saturday (just to clarify: I'm not leaving Joystiq, you're still stuck with my crappy other posts). Thanks to everyone who voted, at any point in the last 3 years, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Thanks for all the work you've done with the WWW over the years Ross. I look forward to reading your second-hand Ludwig posts in the future.

you know what was the worst about home? that comic basically is what is besides the quincying. i wish the lines were simulated so that you can play whenever you want but still see actual people waiting in line when you're only walking by or something.

the very beginning and ending is the only part of your name that makes sense to me.

haha for the past year, i had the username lorddshadow but for some reason, a few months ago, my comments would never show up after i wrote them. i checked that the login info was all right and it was but they never showed up. so i put lorddshadow the amazing there so that people from before might recognize me.

*basically what home is

my bad... and by actual people, i meant simulated people.

You could just make your name an acronym: it wasn't so hard for people to remember SSFHDIIT Remix Hardcore Edition......err something.......

!

How did I pick up another member of the death squad!?

panda got me with that meatspin link... so i sweared revenge. it's you and me markez. anyone else want to kill pandas of the strategy variety?

and yeah, i could make an acronym but then n00bs here would think i'm retarded for having a name like SC_R(LtA)[APDSFF]. acronyms don't work if you can't make them into a word. like ODST. it just doesn't work.

YOU DARE NOT SPEAK THE LINK'S NAME FOR GODSSAKES! 1ST RULE OF THE DEATH SQUAD!!!!

right...

uh oh... I better get a body guard.

Thats right! We roll hard!

It ain't just sun chips in that bag. Feel me son?

Pew Pew Pew bitch!

2 elite anti-panda death squadron members against a strategy panda and choji. this should be fast...

FIGHT!

i do free lap dances at ppl when they are sitting at the theater lol... is pretty fun and well i see ppl copy me later on :/...

is there a way to do paid lap dances?! I ask because... you know, saying they're free implies you can charge... and if you can charge for lap dances (and virtual sexual favors?) in home.... then that makes it app of the year in my book.

it's a joke man, take it easy!... that's what i ask ppl " want a free lap dance?"... and they usually say move or they run away but i follow them... it's pretty fun

yes, I realized it was a joke Rodrigo, that's why I made one in return! Sorry I forgot the sarcasm tags... can we retroactively apply them? [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] just slap that around my previous comment and see how it reads ;)

I really wanna try out Quincying...

get like a girls nickname or something it works better if you have one, guys fall for it every time.

Guaranteed.

You know what the funny thing is? That was my exact experience in Home. I walked in...found nothing to do...and when I came back from a 2 minute soda break, somebody was already raping my avatar.

Yeah ... sorry 'bout that.

*gives Rom a fiver*

Was it a fat, old Mexican guy in a tanktop?

Because yeah...that might have been me.

what the hell is quincying and how late am i on this? months?

days. here's a link. http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/12/how-to-perform-quincying-in-playstation-home/

oh men, you don't know what you're missing.

i actually witnessed a quincying within the last hour. i was by the music trying to influnce votes when a female avatar start dancing and talking to a group who then surrounded her the it switch to a dude and i believe i heard a high pitch voice yell quincy.

Looks like we ended up in 4th place this week. Not to shabby at all. I've been wondering what this Home is all about since I haven't picked up a PS3 yet. It looks like something that should be avoided though.

Here's my comic for next weeks poll.

http://www.mondaynightcrew.com/issues/comic_0076.html

It's not so much about a particular game, but rather a commentary about possible conversations being had in game stores across the country.

I cant stand the guys that try to hump you while you wait for your turn at the bowling lane... hahaha.. no cool at all haha. Why can't we punch people in home? hahaha jk

What is the best action rotation for simulating the rape of another man in home?

The WWW will never be the same without you Ross.

Judges? ...Ok...Apparently the virtual raping in Home IS funny. Sorry, thanks for playing though and as a token of our appreciation please accept this $15 gift certificate to Bed Bath and Beyond.

Goodbye Ross, thanks for everything chap.

Welcome Griffin! Our new webcomic overlord...
