Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is becoming its own worst enemy

Yeah, that whole airport scene is pretty upsetting. You know what's even worse, though, as far as the corruption of the human spirit is concerned? Modern Warfare 2's online multiplayer. The cycle breaks down like this: You play against hateful people who call you brave new swear words as they wipe the floor with you, which in turn makes you more hateful -- repeat ad nauseam. This new hate can even extend beyond the confines of the game, and infect other portions of your life. For instance, it might even slip into a post you write for a video game news site, you freaking jerkfaces.

Whoa, that was uncalled for. As we go cool our jets, check out the seven webcomics from this past week which we've highlighted below. Read them all, then vote for your favorite after the break. If there are any notable strips missing, make sure you point them out in the comments section.

no chicken avatar man, prejaculation man is asking what "chuckling IRL" would be opposed to, since you cant NOT chuckle irl

'lol'ing isn't the same as chuckling IRL, funnily enough.

Had to go with PvP since it reminded me of my past gaming days... not really a laugh from any of them this week though.

I'll chuckle URL

I thought Slackerz was hilarious, i thought they should have done just the first two panels but then they saved it, i was laughing at every panel.

Cheers buddy :)
I love you too xox

I thought exactly the same thing. What was up with that?

Why are you being such a dick in this post?

Yeah, Fox News screwed up when they got geoff keighley to talk about Mass Effect. He is one of the few articulate nerds in the industry. Much easier to find linguistically challenged gamers to bash in the "are video games killing our kids" segments they do about once a week.

In response to Kenny Goo of course.

joystiq's comment system etc etc etc

2P Start has to get it. BITF may have got it some other week (I can't not vote for Mario!) but 2P Start had a more subtle and funny comic. I think it was probably Mario's expression instead of the joke, cause BITF and 2P Start basically had the same joke.
