I'm not saying it's funny, just that it's at least somewhat true. Saying this as a Wii owner and gaming forum-goer. The comic is representing a kind of behavior that exists.
Maybe what the comic is saying doesn't actually need to be said though. Plus it's more of an "I get it" situation than a "I find this funny" situation, if you get my meaning.
It's too easy to say CAD, so I'll give a dishonorable mention to Danny and Spot by Tom Preston.
The adventures of a Hardcore PS360 gamer and a Nintendo Fanboy. Guess who's supposed to be whom.
Not to nitpick some terrible comic but it must be some crappy third party controller. Used to own a wireless white one but I doubt it was from 2002.
The CAD love is strong.
This one would have a decent punchline without the last panel. Would seem less autobiographical too (I have no idea if it's supposed to be).

Another unintentionally funny one.
this is way funnier than the original
Tails Gets Trolled... I don't even know what to make of it. It's like... weirdly funny, yet not funny at all, and sometimes terrifying.
I used to love Psyguy's comics, and Bob and George, back when I was around 13. BaG had a pretty good canon going on, like someone else has already said, and I remember getting pretty invested in it back in the day. Was really involved in those communities for a while, too. Everyone hated Psyguy for some reason I can't remember, though.
CAD is one that I've grown to really dislike. I have a soft spot in my heart for PA, and Jerry Holkins is actually a personal hero of mine, but their quality has declined, recently. I'm convinced it's because they're involved with running PA the company as well as PA the comic, have families, are industry figureheads, and are just not goofy teenagers/young adults anymore.
Oh yeah I was really big into Bob and George as a kid.
Here's a good resource for why people hate this comic: http://badwebcomicswiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/VG_Cats
EDIT: Sorry for the double-post. Couldn't multi-quote for some reason.
The funny thing about this one is that the button says "Send Request." I don't know if this is another example of Dobson's laziness, or if this is some kind of bizarre meta-joke. I'd like to imagine that it is the latter.
These Danny & Spot ones are so horrible...
Speaking of worst game comics, iirc this strip was made in response to the infamous Electronic Tigers:
Randomly remembered finding the Brentalfloss comic pretty bad. Not as atrocious as some of the stuff here IIRC, but definitely not good at all.
I've always enjoyed her comics.Best goes to Awkward Zombie. She does a lot of self-deprecating strips and is genuinely funny:
8-bit Theater is good. It's another comic that follows a canon storyline in addition to being a comedy strip. I haven't read it since... 2005, I think, but I remember spending an entire weekend catching up on it.I've always enjoyed her comics.
What's the consensus on 8 bit theater? I enjoyed that when it was ongoing but never went back and finished it.
Holy crap. He didn't seriously post that, did he?
... Wanna get some ice cream?

Nails my issue with the games.

I'm also glad that nobody has mentioned PvP as bad.

Another "classic"
It's like a miniature revenge fantasy.
Oh yeah I was really big into Bob and George as a kid. That and Captain SNES, which is ongoing, but never updates.
