A flood of Greek letters coming after us is just like those dreams we had in high school the night before our Calculus exams. So it's only natural that
2P Start's The Fundamental Theorem of War bring back intense feelings of elation (or perhaps pain and suffering, if you're not huge math geeks). Fitting for us, then, that it had the highest rate of change from 0, or more accurately, it had the most votes in this week's
webcomic wrapup.
Second and third place both went to
Penny Arcade with
Anguish and
For Your Consideration, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted; be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Let's be honest: Shigeru Miyamoto would
never post on Joystiq, and if he would, we'd like to think our response would be something wittier than ":(". So while we object to
The Slackerz' totally false characterization of us, we are required by Blogger Law to award it
webcomic of the week.
A very close second (as of this writing) goes to
Dueling Analogs, with
Digital Unrest in third. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Now that The Big Three have all finished up their press conferences (
Microsoft,
Sony,
Nintendo), we want to know who you thought had the best showing. Tell us your thoughts after the break! (Reminder: Please keep it civil. We packed our banhammer just in case.)

Yeah, we figured the
Zero Punctuation would do well in the
webcomic wrapup, by a large margin. Here's how it breaks down, with and without the Yahtzee factor:
With the Yahtzee Factor
Without the Yahtzee Factor
Thanks to everyone voted. We'll be going Yahtzee-less from now on; be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Alright, this is getting ridiculous. Activision has yet to respond to our requests for clarification, and anecdotal reports continue to contradict our finding that
the Rock Band Stratocaster does not work with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith on the Xbox 360. If you'll consult our
guitar compatibility matrix, you'll find that incompatibility is par for the course, so we left it at that. But conflicting reports keep coming in.
Our original tipster, who works for a rather large gaming magazine, tested all manner of guitars with
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith but, alas, he was on an XDK – the Xbox 360 debug kit (and no, the above is not Photoshopped, it's a direct screen grab). Perhaps something, however unlikely, has changed from the reviewable code to the final retail code? Even then, we've gotten tips as recently as this morning claiming the
Rock Band guitar
does not work with the retail release of
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. Frankly, we can't keep track anymore so we'll do the next best thing: power of the masses.

For the Rush reference and a Seussical interpretation of
Guitar Hero V's drum set, we handily hand
Hijinks Ensue this week's
webcomic wrapup award.
Second and third place go to
Penny Arcade and
2P Start, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Along with finally confirming
Diablo 3's existence, Blizzard also revealed two of the five (
or perhaps more) classes, the Witch Doctor and the Barbarian. Although we imagine any returning characters would see a massive overhaul from their previous renditions -- that's assuming the remaining three aren't entirely original -- we want to know who you'd like to see make it into the third game.
(Note: All classes in the game have
both male and female options, hence voting
D1's sorcerer is the same as voting for
D2's sorceress.)
