Aww, man. We were hoping the Christmastime winner of last week's Webcomic Wrapup would be something more ... pleasant than this. Less foul-mouthed, perhaps. Don't get us wrong -- Penny Arcade's "The Axiom" is a magnificent specimen, simultaneously making fun of bad games and celebrities. However, it doesn't bring much holiday cheer. At least, not to Activision, Robomodo or bird-named professional skateboarders.
Second and third place went to Nerf Now's "Balance Patch" and Dipswitch's "Dragon Age: Sour Grapes Edition," respectively. If you've got a strip you'd like to see in tomorrow's wrapup, drop a link in the comments, or send in a tip!

Yeah, the Commie one wasn't bad. I think you'd have to be older to really get it, but not bad.

I actually liked them (except the Vegeta one which was uninspired and cliche) and I approve. This, from a guy who doesn't like web comics. I think the best one was the Pokemon one or whatever that was with the turtle.

I'm actually not annoyed at all. I'm just playing games while I wait for some big-friggin' folders to transfer to a new hard drive when I saw his post.
I actually take a look at his comic each time they post it, not because I like it, not because it works, and not for any silly reasons either. I view it because I'm still waiting for the day when I laugh at it.
It was a lot better this time than their "comic" submissions, but it still left me without the L-O-Ls I was looking for from all the new comics in this article's comments.
I'd give it an F, while before I'd have probably given it an F-.
Keep tryin' DJ, keep tryin'.

Will be funnier to people who have played the BC2 beta.

As a reader for years, it has been sad to see what a toilet and shithole the comment section has become for the Joystiq website as a whole. It use to be funny here, and the community was actually worthwhile.

Yea, it has been a pretty lean year. I mean all we got was Uncharted 2, Batman, Assassins Creed II, MW2... Do I really need to keep going? It's been an awesome year.

Really though, I have to wonder how many people that hate on a game actually really played it?
I hate of sh1t all the time I have no clue about!

It's a really common image. To some it's "cool face" and to others it's "troll face" or "troll guy"... But whenever you see someone making that grin, you know they think they're better at trolling than they actually are.

They make a powerful point here.
Also, why do the Create-A-Skater on Tony Hawk games suck all of the sudden?
