Readers pick best webcomic: Theft of the Magi
... Wow, that was close. The last time we checked on the webcomic wrapup, XKCD's Theft of the Magi and CAD's Crossover were tied with 145 votes apiece. We decided to be somewhat Vice Presidential and cast the deciding vote ... to XKCD. Cheer up, CAD, you still got second place, and your prize is jus...
Readers pick best webcomic: A Trick of Retrospective
For quite a while, it was a virtual tie between it and xkcd's Flash Games, but in the end Penny Arcade's homage to Mega Man 9 A Trick of Retrospective took top honors in this week's webcomic wrapup. As one commenter quipped, the fourth panel -- the one with all the screaming and angry swearing at t...
Readers pick best webcomic: Lego my statue
Tim Harding has redeemed his score change. His one-half contribution to 2P Start's "Lego my statue" strip this week one-half earned him one-half of the award for the week's best game-related webcomic. Second and third place go to Fanboys Online – from a week prior but we tragically missed it...
Readers pick best webcomic: Visceration Station
Big thanks to Supafine's "Legend of Zelda: Visceration Station" webcomic for finally (and logically) explaining the heart system to us. The least we, as the Joystiq community, can apparently do is bestow you the honor of best game-related webcomic of the week. Second and third place went to XKCD an...
Weekly Webcomic Wrapup remembers Gary Gygax
In a touching tribute to Dungeons & Dragons creator Gary Gygax, a handful of webcomics took it upon themselves to remember the visionary. Here are some of our favorites (note: not involved in voting process): Penny Arcade XKCD Dueling Analogs Order of the Stick Achewood And now fo...
Weekly Webcomic Wrapup is going in circles
Here we go again. Just like last year, and the year before that, we pack up and head off to San Francisco. Though it was last year, it seems like only yesterday we were amassing in California. It's disorienting -- kind of like a mobious strip. Okay, have we justified this week's theme? Good, let's...
Readers pick best webcomic: pod bay doors
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...
Weekly Webcomic Wrapup resets for the new year
Welcome to the Weekly Webcomic Wrapup Vista Leopard version 3.0 2008! Let's enjoy the time we have together and, given that five days have already passed, just go ahead and give up on all those new year's resolutions. Except the one where you keep reading Joystiq over the weekend. Keep that one. He...
DS Daily: Learn by playing
If you ever owned an original NES, the above probably rings true for you. Certainly our first urge is to blow on things that aren't working too well. They could be dusty! And we did it dozens -- no, hundreds, maybe thousands -- of times with our NES games. So what has gaming taught you? There are ...
