Readers pick best webcomic: Million Dollar Arcade

·
Dueling Analogs artist Steve Napierski's tongue-in-cheek portrayal of the Penny Arcade duo took top honors in this week's webcomic wrapup. Don't worry, we're sure Tycho and Gabe are in on the joke. After all, PA Adventures is number 3 for all-time best Xbox Live Arcade launches ever.

Second and third place go to VG Cats and, well, Penny Arcade, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Readers pick best webcomic: Disincentives

Personally, use of power items on the Olympics would make them exponentially more entertaining. Penny Arcade's "Disincentives," which gave us this mental image, took first place in this week's webcomic wrapup.

Second and third place go to 2P Start--our personal favorite this week--and Dueling Analogs, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

We love the weeks when the winning game-related webcomics seem to garner the most negative comments. However, the winner is decided by votes and not naysayers, so we're giving the (digital and valued at US $0) trophy to Dueling Analogs this week.

Second and third place to go 2P Start and Funny Farm, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomic you stumble upon this week!

Readers pick best webcomic: Make it double

That initial glitch in the webcomic wrapup polling didn't affect the final vote. VG Cats' Poké-strip (as in comic strip and not ... eww) was given the rather dubious award for week's best game-related webcomic with quadruple (make it quadruple!) the vote of second place.

Runners up include Dueling Analogs and Digital Unrest, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Perhaps its apt timing or name brand (both the comic and the topic), but VG Cats' Going Online webcomic took first place in this week's wrapup. Second place goes to newcomer Cectic and third place 2P Start, beating out by just a handful of votes Dueling Analogs' morbidly fun Professor Layton comic. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

When we tried to write articles this morning, we were given a new prompt instead of the usual password field: "I haff tvelve metchsteek ..." Before we finished reading, we threw our laptops into the ocean and cursed the heavens above. Kudos to Penny Arcade, winner of this week's webcomic wrapup, for illustrating our anger.

Second and third place to go Dueling Analogs and Digital Unrest, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week! (Preferably in the comments below, since our inbox will be flooded during the GDC shenanigans.)

A rule of thumb for Weekly Webcomic Wrapup: whenever XKCD is nominated, it wins. Generally; then again, with an overused punchline, we were hesitant the trend would continue.

Second and third place go to Shortpacked! and Dueling Analogs, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Taking two pages from a long-running story arc on EverQuest, readers picked Tim Buckley's Ctrl+Alt+Del's "Entranced" and "Slightly Rewired" as the best game-related webcomic this week.

Second and third place goes to Dueling Analogs and 2P Start, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any gaming comics you stumble upon this week! (And hey, if you got an idea for a WWW theme, send it our way, too.)

Readers pick best webcomic: The New Games Journalism

Even if we're a little late with giving you the results, this week's webcomic wrapup wasn't really a contest. Due to its timeliness and the controversy surrounding the situation, Penny Arcade's "The New Games Journalism" takes top honors this week. Timeliness is an understatement, here: we know a lot of people who first discovered Gerstmann-Gate from this comic.

Second place goes to 2P Start while third is a virtual tie between Dueling Analogs and WoW Insider. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Congratulations to Steve Napierski's Dueling Analogs, who turns two years old tomorrow. Interesting note: according to Wikipedia, DA has won the webcomic wrapup seven times since May 2006. More interesting note: someone actually went through our archives and counted.

Head over to Dueling Analogs and sift through their archives, then come back and tell us your favorites. (Our picks, for obvious reasons: So Dark the Contra of Man, PSP Philosophy.) And when you do return, would you kindly pick your favorite game-related webcomic in our poll below?

What's the masked mushroom looking at? You're going to have to peruse Dueling Analogs, this week's webcomic wrapup winner, to find out.

Second and third place were quite close, with Digital Unrest (a guest strip from RPG-TV) barely toppling VG Cats. Thanks to everyone who voted and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

How dare you, Rooster Teeth, promote same-sex parental separation. Don't you see that this poor, costumed kid is hiding his anguish behind that orange visor?

... oh, wait, this is an allegory for the Bungie / Microsoft split? Nevermind, false alarm. Kudos on winning this week's webcomic wrapup. Second place went to God Mode Online while Penny Arcade and Dueling Analogs duked it out for third.
