You can play piano on your DSi, kinda
Has your long-held habit of carrying a baby grand piano with you everywhere you go begun to cause irreversible damage to your easily pliable spinal cord? The Monday Night Crew gang discovered an easier way to tickle ivories touchscreens on the go by using a neat trick in the "Graffiti Mode" on your DSi. Basically, the music note stamp in graffiti mode makes a sound that changes pitch depending on where you place it on the screen. By placing these stamps over a cleverly crafted grid, you can wow your friends with MIDI renditions of your favorite songs. It's a neat trick, and far less damaging on the ol' sacroiliac. Check out a video demonstration after the jump!
Readers pick best webcomic: "I bought a video game ..."
This week's winner in the webcomic wrapup doesn't even have a true name: we just made one up. (In retrospect, we wonder if our original name "Popsicle Sunshine" would have fared as well.) Dork Tower's entry is actually a bit unfair, as it dates back to 2001. It's just sad that (a) we didn't originally notice and (b) after 7 years, it is still very relevant.Second place (technically first since it's more recent) goes to Dueling Analogs, followed by Digital Unrest and Monday Night Crew. Thanks to everyone who voted and be sure to let us know of any (more recent) game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!
Readers pick best webcomic: Gears of Conflict Resolution
Despite (or perhaps because of) the similarities to an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force from 2004, Penny Arcade's Gears of Conflict Resolution took top honors in this week's webcomic wrapup. We'd also like to take a moment to remind everyone of the 300 "PG" parody, since we still can't stop ourselves from shouting "This is Cake Town" at least once a day at random strangers.Second and third place go to Ctrl+Alt+Del's Moar Co-Op and Monday Night Crew's Street Dated. A special nod goes to mudron's debut in the wrapup.Thanks to everyone who voted; be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!
Readers pick best webcomic: Waiting
Eliciting over 100 comments for the post, Scott Ramsoomair's "Waiting" VG Cats comic was certainly one of the more debated wins of the webcomic wrapup series.Second and third place both go to 2P Start ("A Different Directive" and "Goomba vs. Roomba", respectively -- remember, we want you to vote for individual strips and not the webcomic series itself). A special nod goes to Monday Night Crew's George Carlin tribute. 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, with or without Yahtzee

Here's how it breaks down, with and without the Yahtzee factor:With the Yahtzee Factor Zero Punctuation (65.3%) (TIE) Monday Night Crew (9.2%) (TIE) Castle Vidcons (9.2%) Without the Yahtzee Factor (TIE) Monday Night Crew (26.5%) (TIE) Castle Vidcons (26.5%) PVP Online (17.6%) Thanks to everyone voted.
