Sorry for the Delay.

Since I can't remember ever seeing a competition on the topic of Video Games this is the theme.  Anything VG related goes, parodies, tropes, or even just as a brief mention.  Im reasonably well versed on the subject so don't worry if you think of something obscure,  Im just interested in seeing what comes out of it.

Judging in a week or so.

Live from Pacmanistan, it's Tuesday afternoon by evil_d 11-14-01

This is Marcia Brady for QVC news, reporting live from the war-torn nation of Pacmanistan along with renowned war correspondent Hawk Punter. As Americans already know, Pacmanistan's despotic government might be harboring individuals who were friends with those responsible for the tragic eating of over 6,000 US citizens earlier this year. That's right, Hawk. The US military has responded quickly, deploying air forces to attack the Pacman citizens with experimental weaponry. Located in a historically dry, barren climate, this year Pacmanistan is expected to receive more precipitation in the form of explosives than of water. I don't understand! No matter how many energy pellets we eat, the bombs keep killing us. I found an escape tunnel, but it only leads to the other side of the bombing area.

The second most emotional moment in Final Fantasy VII by evil_d 10-29-02

Let me sacrifice myself to save the party. It's the only way. I hate to have to make this decision! But you're right, it's our only choice. Thank you, Cait Sith! Oh, Cait Sith... *sob* you were so brave. I guess you really were a good guy in the end. I'm sorry I didn't trust you more. *boo hoo hoo* *boo ho-- Okay, who the fuck are you? Cait Sith mark II.

Final Fantasy XIII in three panels by evil_d 4-05-10

Since the surfboard hasn't been invented, I amuse myself by pretending my gang of teenagers is a revolutionary cell. The funny part is we actually can beat armed soldiers somehow. I can't forgive you for asking my mom to risk her life to save mine! I'm so angry I could help you fight dozens of battles without saying anything about it! Hey, grandpa, I really appreciate you all standing by me, even though I keep changing my mind about what to fight for, and I'm from you-know-where. First of all, I'm like 35, and second, based on your accent, I assume "you-know-where" is Australia. I want you to kill me and my magic robot friends so God will come back. You think you can tell us what to do? I'll kill you for that!

Mega Man gets a desk job by evil_d 10-13-08

Mega Man! Those sales reports were supposed to be on my desk at 9 a.m.! What's the holdup? POW! Mega Man, that wasn't really the appropriate way to handle that situation. You think I should have used the Laser Trident?

I guess at least one of us should summon a Pokémon capable of movement. Actually, mine's just a pumpkin I carved last night.

CC543: Video gamers by evil_d 10-03-13

Jeez, I can't stand you video gamers. Lying on the couch all day, eating Doritos and drinking Mountain Dew, relying on handouts from Mom and Dad. Oh, please. I'm an adult, and e-sports are a big deal these days. So the handouts come from strangers on the internet now.

CC 616 - It's all fun until you run out of quarters. by jes_lawson 7-06-15

If video games had affected us as kids growing up in the 80's... We'd be teenagers running around dark rooms, eating pills, listening to repetetive music in the 90's. My last Skrillex gig was 10 years ago. I still ... ...still see the "ghosts". Yes, Mr Pacman. I'll increase the dosage.

Where's a power pill when you need one? by jes_lawson 10-03-03

Something tells me this wasn't a good day to wear this T-Shirt to the park... Oi Blinky! Look what we got here! Grr! He's one of *those* is he? Timing for a sliming, Clyde! "Wakka wakka wakka" - my arse, you f*cker!

From the Xbox files by jes_lawson 5-23-07

Dude, do you want a free copy of this first person shooter I helped to program? Of course, man! What's it called? Rainbow Six: Vegas Hrmm.... Captain! Nagging resistance from the seniors on the crap tables, and Sgt. Rockwell's having trouble doing the high kicks wearing body armour! Assemble a strike team of Elvis impersonators! Nothing must stop us from putting on the most faaabulous show in Delta Force history!

CC 616: The 1337 in Elite by jes_lawson 7-09-15

Programming is so much easier in Python. Yeah, our new trading platform is so much faster but...wait, what's this? Someone's hacked in and rewritten it in Cobra Mk. 3! And they've stolen 10 tonnes of narcotics, 5 tonnes of firearms, a hyperdrive, and... an "Important Thargoid Document" ?! Right on, Commander Jameson! Let's get this haul back to Lave! Lemme just blow up this vector graphic asteroid first...

CC 616: Significant Digits by kaufman 7-09-15

Hey, I hear you got the new Madden 2015. How is the game? Let me tell you, it's the best and most realistic one yet! Really? Yeah. I was playing Giants-Eagles yesterday and Jason Pierre-Paul sacked the quarterback ... Pierre-Paul? But he's the one who just blew off half his hand in a fireworks accident. Yup, and get this. Just like the great folks they are, 50,000 Philly fans offered him the finger.

Game Over

Well this comic contest is all out of lives and it's time to see who gets to write ASS on the high scores table. 

Thanks everyone for the entries, Thoroughly enjoyed them.

Some very decent comics in here;  I really liked Ragu's Grand Theft Fox News, Evil's Live from Pacmanistan (which should be a real place) , Arkanoid (clever use of graphics) as well as his alternative pokemon series and hitting the money on the head on E-sports.

I thought Jes' It's all fun until you run out of quarters (nice twist), and The 1337 in Elite (excellent though very geeky joke!, this one was close runner up) were great.  FLT's Immortal Kombat was fun as was Kaufman's Thrown for a boop, and Neo's Day in Marios life.

I'm sorry Mario but our princess is in another comic contest (winner)

Picking up a topicality bonus the winner of CC616 is

Great contest Gov. If you've never hacked your way to an Important Thargoid Document, you're merely 1336, but FLT's comic was a blue turtle shell.
