Weekly Webcomic Wrapup, now with Bungivision!

Can you see it, folks? It's the future! And it's filled with Bungie and Bungie-related spinoff games -- and it's soon! That's right: for the next ten years, we'll be seeing the world through our Bungivision-tinted glasses, forgetting all about that scuttlebutt that went down between the "Modern Whatsitfare 6" (or whatever) developer and Activision, like, forever ago.

For now though, we'll just keep right on reading these weekly webcomic releases and looking forward to the next pew-pew title, hoping that if we miss any especially fantastic comics, you'll let us know in the comments section below. Bungivision ... activate!

Nerf Now was awesome barring the *$&$*# moment at the end.

Dipswitch was pretty meh until the last panel...

Hard choice, but I went with Nerf.

I would have chosen dipswitch but I can't get past the fact that "disgraced" should be "disqualified"...

Why would you even include penny arcade?

1) its not video game related
2) its not funny
3) it doesn't even have the normal characters in it

I can appreciate what PA is doing making a mini illustrated book online, but its not a video game webcomic this week. Lazy Lazy Ben.

Same for 2P Start, really. And the others weren't really that funny. My vote's gonna pretty much come down between Another Video Game Webcomic and NerfNow.

Why single out Penny Arcade? 2P Start doesn't belong this week at all, and at least Penny Arcade had a good comic.

Yes, I...

oh, I'm stayin' out of this...

I don't know why Joystiq picked our comic from 2P START! this week. It's not a standalone comic, it's not videogame related, and it's not even intended to be humorous in any way.

@ all the above

Wow.. You really are a bunch of a dicks. How about stepping outside to get some fresh air and sun and loosen up a little.

People are voting for it too, I really don't get why.

Penny Arcade shouldn't really be on there, as it isn't video game related. I'm a big fan of these longer, more evolved PA stories, but they don't have a place here.

Did anyone find one of these funny?
I thought they all sucked.

Wow.... I usually think people that say all the comics that week suck, but... all of these comics were horrible...

WHERE'S GRIFFIN???

"I usually think people that say all the comics that week suck over exaggerate"

Sorry, left out a word.

That's what happens with the internet. Any unfunny moron who can't draw can download photoshop and start their own webcomic.

Virtual Shackles wasn't all that funny, but it worked.

I was afraid I was the only on that though that while reading this weeks choices. Not even going to vote.....

I'D LOVE TO SEE YOU DO BETTER!

I didn't vote, didn't like any of them.

AVGW for me. Love the RE5 ending reference.

they goofed though, Chris is B.S.A.A. now, not S.T.A.R.S.

@Nolan

Maybe he took over the place steroids blazing XD

Let's see...

Penny Arcade isn't funny, 2P Start isn't funny, Dipswitch drags out the joke too long, The Great Indoors requires me to read some other strip (which I'm too lazy for), Sidescroller is INCREDIBLY boring (as always), and Nerf NOW! has a stupid ending that came out of nowhere.

I guess that narrows it down to AVGW.

we how you voted for boring! :)

How does Nerf Now's ending come out of nowhere?

I won't explain it, because someone will say "any joke that needs to be explained..."

so I'll just question your reading comprehension skills. ;)

I'm not sure why Chris is punching rocks... is that a RE5 thing?

yeah. you have to play the game to know. Its effing ridiculous...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xuXkVzBdJQ

Uhm, the only spoiler is the environment you could say. Otherwise check out the video. I was quite amazed when I played this part.

Man, I played RE5 so long ago I forgot that part

Good job being topical AVGW :|

@Gizoro: Well, it is topical because the MvC3 trailer showed him fighting Hulk. That's the whole point of the comic.

Punching a boulder into submission on that video is the most ridiculuousand hilarious thing I've seen on this entire post.

Wow, I'm stunned. Thanks Harbinger. I don't feel so bad about skipping that game now lol.

Damn this week was funny. gotta give it t AVGW though. Seriously though, who punches rocks? Damn steroid bastard....

…What a terrible, terrible week…

A weak week, yes....a wikwik.

I found The Great Indoors funny just because I went back to read the other strip. But Nerf Now was betterf.

Nerf now.

try this.

Pinnacle of awesomeness right there. Such beautiful artwork. Puts the Mona Lisa to shame.

/sarcasm

Kinda humorous but still not video game related.

Virtual Shackles. I'm surprised no-one has pointed this out before.

I'm wondering if people just didn't get it. Virtual Shackles was easily the best, but it took me a sec to understand.

Refuse to vote for anything this week.

what a rebel!

but yet you comment...

gotta give it to Nerfnow, I lol'd

http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/2010/04/26/04262010/

That's pretty win. Not for the joke but the imagery is awesomesauce.

This has my vote for this week. Although I think it would have been better to just eliminate the last 'I'm the King of Everything' line and just let the image work on its own.

I was hoping this one would make it in the poll this week.

I never post a comment here, but I agree with how PA and 2p Start shouldn't be in this week's list (especiale 2P). I read a couple of strips from thepunchlineismachismo.com that LordZombie linked, and some of those really should have been on the weekly WW.
