At a whopping 47 panels, 2P Start's "Tweet the Deets" might just be the longest Weekly Webcomic Wrapup entrant in the history of the feature. Fortunately for the comic's creators, it seems our poll participants enjoy a lengthy read -- the comic blew away its contenders in last week's Wrapup. Congratulations, 2P Start crew!
Second and third place went to Virtual Shackles' "In Case of Need I Will Make Big Guns" and Penny Arcade's "My Friend Totoriol," respectively. If you want to submit a strip for consideration in tomorrow's Wrapup, drop a link in the comments, or send in a tip!

Yeah, this almost doesn't count. You can speed-scroll through it and get the gist of the joke.

I think I'm gonna start posting my comics online, unfortunately I suck at making them look good on Photoshop.
Actually, the comics themselves suck now that I think about it... Hmmm... Well, that spoils my plans for the week. Back to working on the Flux Capacitator.

I think what nighttime meant to say is that it doesnt matter because once you get that flux capacitator into a delorean, you can just go back and fix your mistakes later.

I think you guys are being strange... there's no way that people would support him with a smileyface as long as the content was good, he'd probably be ripped to shreds. And for goodness sakes if you're trying to will someone into a two-guy-and-maybe-a-girl comic so help me.

It was more the concept of the comic, but what do I know? I'm only Jim Carrey*

I probably should have picked a better comedian than Jim Carrey...

It just didn't strike me as funny. It actually seems more like something some retarded fanboy would say. "Durrrr hurrrr.... u cun knot tyep wit de kybord.... durrrrrr twester bes on da PlayStation 3. huuuuuuurrrrrrrr"

Really? Don't get me wrong, I prefer the mouse/keyboard setup, but the console environment is quite fun in its own right and is doing just fine with gamepads and these new-fangled motion devices. The OPTION of using a keyboard/chatpad is nice, but pushing it onto someone? Nah, man. Nah.

Wow, you really are a lamefuck x-bot (comment history says everything). "Durrrr hurrrr, my xbox is perfect, nobody can make a little innocent joke about it, even when it applies to all consoles".
2P Starts NEVER mentioned the PS3, they just used the Xbox as an example of writing with the normal controller because it is getting twitter now. They could just as well have used the PS3 for their joke when using the web browsed or when writing a message to a friend. It's a shame that they didn't, now we have to put up with retards like you.

I forgot about this post. lol
I'm not saying force someone to use a chatpad/keyboard, but you should have one or the other in your house. Even if you don't, the chatpad, which is awesome BTW, is 20 dollars and a no-thrills USB keyboard is 5-10 dollars. It's just stupid not to have one. That should also answer Snowblinds question. You should get the chatpad, IMO. You'll love it if you use MSN and messaging alot like I do.
@nighttime: Sadly, the 360 does not do auto complete or suggestions. That is one up that the PS3 has in the messaging department.
@Ashitaka: "Wow, you really are a lamefuck x-bot" I stopped reading right there. You're going to clam I'm a fanboy, you've read my post, and your so much better than me because you're not a fanboy. Yet, you use x-bot, most likly only post good stuff about Sony and their cock. I'm also going to guess you can't read because it said it was something I would expect to hear from a PS3 fanboy. Of course, you took offense because, you yourself, have probably made that comment. Have fun living in your moms basement.

That comic perfectly shows how freaking slow typing on a 360 controller really is. I once wrote an entire paragraph on it and it took me a half hour. Slow, agonizing pain.
Anyway, here's the +1 Comics entry for the week:

brotip from a fellow cartoonist:
"Why do I even bother" is never, ever a funny punchline.
Try and get familiar with comic cliches (a quick browse through a newspaper comics section could yield a ready supply of "don'ts" in comics). You're only going to get better as you do more strips, so don't stop now.
I suggest hand-lettering or finding a better font to go with your strip, as the current one seems very off-putting compared to the more hand-drawn nature of the characters.
One last thing: Gradients are a cheap effect and are very amateurish-looking. Try to go for a more subtle gradient, add backgrounds, or hatching. Is this all pencil?

Uncharted2 had that running. And the devs had to disable it cause it tweeted too often.
Your idea was attempted, and sucked

@ Extinction
Naughty Dog DID NOT disable tweeter updates. They only disabled it during the beta so that other people would stop being jealous at the ones who got in.
Also, the idea did not suck (I don't like it, but it doesn't suck). You on the other end, suck.
@ TheE3Guy
While there are no Twitter Achievement updates, there are Facebook Achievement updates, so I guess that's good for you, right?
@ Mr Mobius
I bet that the 360 will have some options like Uncharted 2 (http://www.consolemonster.com/images/news/uc2twit2.jpg) that will prevent Twitter from getting too cluttered with crap updates like getting an Achievement/a Trophy.

The coolest thing about that comic was holding down the spacebar so it almost looked like an animation. VirtShack (as I abbreviate it in my head) should have won last week.

@bagels: Really? You're the first person to mention that. Are they poorly written or just a general distraction? We added after doing about 50 or so comics because we thought it might bring an inside view on how the comic changed. You think it's a bad idea?
@ashitaka: Thanks. The joke seemed too obvious the moment I heard the game's title. Some games are like that...just wait for Big Gay Tony. :)

Hey it cracked me up. I'm way too lazy to buy a keyboard for my 360 and I've been through this message sending dealio a few times..
I guess MS wants to make the 360 a real home entertainment platform that could replace computers in some way? Good idea on their part
