Zac Gorman is at it again with another amazingly deep and but amazingly minimalist Legend of Zelda comic. I like the message, and really, it kinda sums up why we play games. We challenge ourselves to have fun.

Zac Gorman Weighs in on Proteus
Okay, this one requires you actually go to Kotaku cause I can’t seem to view the comic by itself to post it here. But yeah…Proteus. I don’t think it’s a game for very technical reasons. Like, that shouldn’t stop anyone from “playing” it and enjoying it, but I think I feel like I kinda hit …

Pokemon Noir
Here’s a webcomic that spins a new style on the Pokemon we all know and love. In this Pokemon universe, everything is dark and gritty full of murder and intrigue. This is only part 1 so hopefully there are more to come. While I would never want a Pokemon game in this style, it’s always …

Zac Gorman – Link and the Mystery of the Cave
Zac Gorman is back and this time he has an interesting Legend of Zelda inspired comic. It seems like the idea behind this one is the Legend part of The Legend of Zelda. What I got out of it was that Link runs for cover to a cave cause of the rain and in it …

Indie or Not – Maybe This Will Convince You To Go Indie
Here’s something I just discovered, a website called The Trenches. It’s half webcomic and half horror stories. The webcomic chronicles follows Isaac Cox who is a game tester, which in itself is of a scary story for anyone who wants to get into the industry. The scariest parts are the “Tales From the …

Dishonored Comic – “You Can’t See Me Cuz’ I’m Leaning”
Dishonored was an okay game. Talking with Drew we realized that there were some great ideas behind it but it just wasn’t executed all that well. I mean, it basically is like a great Bioshock mod since it uses the same health and mana mechanics and there weren’t a lot of powers for it …

NoPUNintendo!
A collection of groan worthy Nintendo puns. The Link and Meta-Knight ones in particular were pretty awful, but as a fan of bad puns, these were some pretty great bad puns. This video is actually just a few animated versions of a webcomic with the same name. It has some pretty funny stuff and more …

Dorkly: Videogames vs. Real Life
I found this to be completely true and it has applied to my whole life, though I’ve never realized it until now. If you missed the humor, it’s pretty much saying that videogames are sometimes a complete contradiction to real life. Not that this is a bad thing, but it’s pretty interesting to see how the …

Gamers: Get Over Yourselves
I wanted to write some kind of big article relating to this, but the truth is I already have written a lot of little thing about what women and gamers. So Instead read this little essay that takes place after this comic. That Felecia Day video is actually really cool, so why would …

You Shouldn’t Have Done That- The Ben Drowned Story
I found this documentary about the creepypasta turned ARG based around a haunted copy of Marjoa’s Mask called “Ben Drowned”. Now keep in mind before this video begins. His voice is annoying, his attempts at humor are lame, and he fails to mention that it was an ARG, of which an important aspect of is …

So as anyone who’s cool knows, E3 is NEXT week. So of course there will be a bunch of really fun web comics all about it. But for this week’s showcase we’ll have to settle for some non E3 action. Starting off this time is Penny Arcade. I always love comics that shows gamers …

Web Comic Showcase: Console Jokes (Oldies, but Goodies)
Everyone loves a good bashing (except Sony fans), so this time I decided to go with some web comics poking fun at our beloved consoles. These may not be new, but they still are funny! (Man, second one out and I’m already posting two comics from the same web comic. D=) Boxer Hockey isn’t …
