The Wii hit the comic community, as well -- but just a few (Nintendo hasn't seen this much community exposure since ... well ... the unveiling of the RevMote WiiMote. O, to work in the Nintendo marketing division). Since our comic cannot be considered for reasons of sheer awesomeness unfair competition our obvious bias, here our are picks for best game-related webcomics this week, be sure to vote for your favorite! Wii got screwed (thanks, Jon!) What can't the iFruit do ... No Soliciting "I think we nailed this one." It's like comparing rotten apples to rotten tomatoes. Agent Leeroy Jenkins?

So it seems people really enjoy the idea of hell freezing over. Scott Johnson boots Windows on a Mac, and his comic ExtraLife earn the title as best webcomic of the week, as chosen by you. Coming in second place was Press Start to Play's obsession with obscene Smash Bros. poses (remember kids: do try this at home) and third place belongs to Snafu's Monkey Ball vomit scenario.

This was a very hard week for us, honestly, because there were least a dozen comics that made us laugh. You may not agree with our choices or sense of humor, so that is why we have enlisted a Giant Lizard monster, the Stiq-osaurus (thanks, Chris), for protection. Also, thanks to Sense for this amusing political cartoon that can be construed as games related. Here are our picks for the best game-related webcomics of the week, be sure to vote for your favorite!* What Jaws and joysticks now have in common The 112th critique about Kingdom Hearts II's difficulty Sadly, I still do this. All the time. I need to grow up. Please note of the snake on a plane. Thank you. Super Monkey Vertigo! Mac-tacular! * All dissenters are welcomed to leave comments below ... not like we need to give you permission, we just thought it'd be nice to encourage.

Scott Ramsoomair really hit the nail on the head. His satire on Sony's latest inflammatory campaign is spot-on, and a large aspect of Joystiq readers thought so. Earning 57% of the votes, VG Cats has quite deservedly earned the top spot as the most popular webcomic of the week. Second place went to Penny Arcade and third place, despite some initial controversy, was Digital Unrest's "Tetris Offensive." Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you happen upon this week!

Oops?That is the only reaction we can give to poor Chris, the author of Digital Unrest, whose server we crashed after nominating him for the Weekly Webcomic Wrapup. While I'm sure he appreciates the exposure, our "linkage raped the meagor servor [sic] resources I had dedicated to my site" (according to his comment left over the weekend). Still, we liked his comic and we have uploaded it to our own servers so everyone can enjoy -- so, click here and enjoy. Of the 5 remaining contestants, Ctrl Alt Del's satire on the retail industry took the top spot, followed by Mac Hall and Dueling Analogs in second and third, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomic that you stumble upon this week! (We will try to host the strips of any lesser-known webcomics who fears for their server.)
Comic Contest!
Blizzard is accepting submissions of WoW related comic strips for posting on the web site. One "exceptional" comic a month will be chosen to win a prize - a Blizzard-branded iPod Nano and the first two volumes of The Sunwell Trilogy. Decent rewards, and I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting comics about my favorite pastime. (Posted above is a portion of a strip from Mac Hall - a personal favorite.)
