I like how only one of the devices shown is actually for gaming, and the rest are just labeled "gaming" to attract suckers.

The only one there that actually is the real deal is the laptop. And even that one has the useless power consuming and attention grabbing LED stripes

Eww, laptop gaming. I don't see the appeal, you basically double the price of a tower PC build, add cooling issues, and still have to connect to an external display to take full advantage of modern GPUs regardless. Not to mention no built-in controller.

What about the gaming sex toy?

I mean, virtual reality headsets seem to be gaining traction, so we'll probably see something to this effect once the VR Porn/Hentai really starts to kick in.

in case you missed it the joke was in reference to:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/xiaomi-backed-black-shark-gaming-phone-revealed.501184/ gaming phones... (actually regular smartphone with "gamer" design)
https://gbatemp.net/threads/razers-gaming-laptop.306614/ gaming laptops (nothing new here)

but also gaming watches are actually a thing:

I got that (though I thought it was referring to Razer's gaming phone) but I don't get how it relates to the Switch.

maybe because if you really want to play games, dont buy watches or phones or devices that arent adapted for gaming... just buy a god damn game console already

 

[linuxares]

I... feel oddly related. Also I like the style! Good work!

 

[shaunj66]

Great job, @WhiteMaze

Don't forget if you have any ideas for future comics let us know in the Submissions thread

And don't forget the Gaming Drink.

[Deleted member 420418]

You never heard of Mountain Dew?

 

[RedoLane]

umm.. this one wasn't so funny :/

 

[leon315]

You never heard of Mountain Dew?

i saw it in some of MLG meme videos, but i never had any chance to try it in country.

Oh shit, now there's different art styles? This web comic only keeps getting better and better! My head will explode with happiness!

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

Replace Tempy with Etika; and the result is the same.

 

[guitarheroknight]

Love the design! Keep it up!

 

[LittleFlame]

Oh shit, guest artist. It's only a matter of time before we see @x65943 draw a strip, huh?

Nice work as usual, guys!

I'm also interested in @B_E_P_I_S_M_A_N shared some pretty neat art in my Discord some time ago

gaming watch?

the only gaming watch I need is GAME & WATCH


The only laptop I need is my old inspiron clunker, falling apart, half the screws gone, battery that lasts an hour, mostly held together with tape... but it does what I need it to.

 

[BORTZ]

Costello, I was wrong. This is a wonderful feature for our community.

Whitemaze, awesome job. I love the watch frame where his arm is all ripped and veiny lol

You forgot to add

"plays 540p ports of last gen games"

At the end.
