The only one I really get is the Xbox 360 gag.

The nintendo panel is about how much nintendo sucks for online multiplay, usually requiring massive friend codes to connect to other people, and even then not being able to see their status or talk to them. There are crappy errors like the error code which cause you to go their support site to find out it was something like 'wireless not available' which is annoying as hell.

the PS3 'house' thing is their lobby that they proposed for PS3 online networking which basically looks like a clone of the MMO environment second life, which is famous for simulated sexual activity (yiff = furry related sexual activity or material... according to a quick google search)

Nice Save.

conclusion: that comic sucks.

Blasphemy!

Ramsoomair rules!

**Stormtrooper X**

I had a good chuckle at the Nintendo and PS3 comics. The Xbox one is just so close to home though.

It doesn't suck, it just may have been a bit esoteric for your sensibilities. Still, it's pretty much on the money about the issues.

**Tacobake**

damn, peer pressure.

BAM!

conclusion: that comic's pretty funny.

**Stormtrooper X**

Thank you Tacobake, that has to be one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

**Tacobake**

I think I'd be more into it, if it wasn't for the furry angle.

**Tacobake**

I think the key to that comic is reading the title, "Going Online". While it is assumed, the title makes it more satirical.

I now go back to my regular scheduled programming of not painting, eating chips and being jealous of Jes Goodwin.

Wait a minute... he SAID it sucks. If the author saying it sucks doesn't qualify it for 'sucks' status, what does?!

The author of the comic said it sucks? When?

I didn't get the first comic, either; but that second comic. I haven't laughed that hard in a while!

Thanks for pointing out a new comic strip for me to follow. Appreciated.

**VermGho5t**

lol funny comic

o and beware of pedobear!

**Lorek**

Rape is never funny.

**akira5665**

I read through a few....

I have to say, not my sort of humour at all.

Alt+Ctrl+Del is by far and away better, IMO.

**Stormtrooper X**

I read ctrlaltdel, penny arcade, vgcats and lfgcomic everyday. All different, all funny (to me at least).

**legoburner**

Dilbert, Penny Arcade, PvP, Ctrl+Alt+Del and VGCats for me, and then whatever ones are in the joystiq webcomic roundup as well. Cant say Dilbert is funny but I have been reading it so long that it is just some sort of tradition now.

**Stormtrooper X**

Today's vgcats and penny arcade made me laugh my ass off. Good show.

**malfred**

I use http://darkgate.net/comic/ to keep up with my

specific computer.

**malfred**

WAR comic...is that the Secret Lives of Mobs? Funny stuff.

**Tacobake**

I think it's funny because of the ogre.

OMG! Ogre Kingdoms, Wrestle-Mania style. The ultimate conversion project. And it's not even 5:00 am yet.

Ok. Really weird.

penny arcade

order of the stick
something positive
questionable content
and lucid TV

I followed your link, and it's pretty cool, So I start at the beginning and read for a bit. Then I go through my daily comic rotation and notice that QC has swapped strips with another comic for april fools. I go back to reading xkcd for a bit, then, as I'm gunna stop, I decide to see how many there are. When I go to the most recent, what do I find? The QC strip. That was a trip.

I've never read xkcd before, just that panal.
