Readers pick best webcomic: Still a Few Bugs in the System

by Griffin McElroy on Jul 4th 2009 1:30PM

Virtual Shackles only just appeared on the gaming webcomic scene, but has held its own in every Wrapup it's appeared on, usually netting one of the runner-up spots. However, their eighteenth strip -- a cautionary tale about the dangers of sentient camera peripherals titled "Still a Few Bugs in the System" -- managed to pull down first place in last week's WeeWebWrap. Congratulations, VirtShack! (Do you mind if we call you VirtShack? We feel so much closer to you now.)

Second place went to GameSpy's "The Life Cycle of a Videogame" (which missed top honors by a mere eight votes!) and Brawl in the Family's "The Lesson," respectively. If you've got a favorite gaming-themed webcomic to throw into the ring this week, act quickly! We'll be webcomic wrapping later today, shortly before we recklessly play with fireworks -- and after that, we may not have enough fingers left to throw any tardy entries into the fray.

Normally i don't laugh so hard at these comics, i think it was the second part that got me.

Well, you've put up an excellent character defence there. I'm sure he'll be happy at being called 'a little loose in the head'.

i dont hate my friend. he's a dumb ass and too nerdy but he's still my friend . maybe Girgumark never really had a best friend, so he probably doesnt understand how best friends joke around and say shit to each other all the time. he doesnt care get it, this is joystiq, he wont care about me saying shit about him.

now lets leave it at this k? we're just making him feel like a more succesfull troll.

I think a "internet. serious business!" picture would be appropriate here..

Because this discussion is both hilarious and sad. But the good thing about the internet is no one cares for more than 2 seconds! unless you make a discussion about it. If someone disagrees with me, I'll tell my friend :(

so you are saying he's the smartest guy in your high school?God bless America.(serious, do you guys learn plus and minus in your math class yet? or is that for collage?)

Lol! i love how much people care about people saying first. And then go and accuse them of having no life, when really, they just spent 5 seconds saying first for some lulz while you spent a minute trying to argue an obvious troll. You are all so pathetic :D. It's like this is your first time on the internet. All of you guys who accuse him of having no life and shit come off as the 12 yr olds while he's sitting back in his chair loling at you all :D. Seriously, grow up, how does him saying first affect your life in any way? Oh i have to scroll andother half click to get to the comments.
You're all as lazy as fukin valve... joking
