haha!
If those joystiqs are new-school, then what is a wii-mote?!
Actually, mess with them all you want, they can't get you unless you're on the wrong spot...
I dunno, Brian, that rook has that whole left to right portion of the sidewalk covered!
this was the first one that made me laugh, but it is really pretty funny
How scary can they be, they hang out with a bunch on squares.
1 hit and you're a goner with those guys.
It's...da Bishop!
Better get out of here, I don't wanna get pwned.
Man, that's one hard- core pawn.
Haphazard:
Wiimotes are working for the police, tracking down any and all players of Grand Theft Auto.
...Had to make the joke.
They're baaaad news man, bad news, a night, a castle and a pawn. baaaad news
They aren't even all from the same side. The black knight must be a rebel.
They should have used a contraction. The "they arE" kind of kills the joke.
@SonicLover
No, they're on the same crew. Their rivals are the curling stones from across the tracks.
I have a problem with these comics: As entertaining or not as they may be, they cannot possibly be three of the eighteen top rated games on this site, as they are not games.
Is there any way to exclude non-games from the top rated games box?
@Ezra
That's exactly what I was thinking! Maybe they could exclude certain tags (i.e. "babylonsticks" and/or "comic") from the top-rated games box.
I came to check out the comments here so I could request as Ezra and chipmunk have, for these to be excluded from the "top rated". As entertaining as they are, Jay is Games, not, Jay is Random Visual Stuff from the Internet. When the next few Babylon Sticks' comics come out, we may end up with half or so of the Top Rated list dominated by non-games. I suppose you could add an extra little tab to the top for the offical JiG comic - a special page, just for Babylon Sticks. That way, we don't end losing these over the course of time, but they don't hide the actual games, and we can still rate them. I do really enjoy these, but it's just... they're not... I mean, they're not... not games, you know?
[Edit: Good point, I agree. I just removed them from the top rated list. I'll figure an alternative for promoting the comics. :) -Jay]
Aw :) I was enjoying getting random emails of people asking where the game was, since they just keep finding screenshots :)
Seriously, I'm not making that bit up...
Anyway, as I draw them I should probably say something - I agree and as much as I get a personal kick out of seeing them rise on the grid, they are not games.
