the noob webcomic

Though a majority of the nation's educational institutions have ended their Spring semester, sending waves of pupils crashing against the warm, loamy shores of the nearest beach -- we're doing what we do best, which is ... this. This thing you're reading, right now. Don't cry for us, dear readers -- we've got an extra-large Hungry-Man meal in the freezer with our name on it. Well, not literally, unless one us is named Mr. Hungryman, which would be awesome.
Check out our seven favorite gaming-related webcomics from this past week below, and vote for your favorite after the jump. Hop in the comments section to tell us which notable strips we may have missed out on!

Fear Factors (PvP)
The Humans Tasted Worse (Of Noobs and Men)
Dr. Light vs. Dr. Lymon (Sidescroller)
Clichequest lives up to its name, in spades! The artist who draws the strip describes it thusly: “Adventures and misadventures of Ohforfsake, a n00b in the online game Clichequest. Now with 33% more generic evil creatures!”
Incorporating and reinforcing every single stereotype, cliche, and n00b “mistake” we’ve all seen, and drawing its material from every Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game ever made (or will be made), The Noob Comic is side-splittingly hilarious. There are not-very-subtle references to EverQuest (“Train to zone!”), Dark Ages of Camelot, and World of Warcraft (and some explicit references as well). But the situations are common to almost every game.
Rated NSFW for some language, adult themes, and because you might not be able to adequately explain your hysterical laughter to your boss or co-workers.
I wanted to insert a panel just to whet your appetite, but WordPress 2.5 is having issues with image uploads and insertion. While the issues don’t affect everyone, I seem to be one of those for whom nothing seems to be working yet. So you’ll just have to head over to Clichequest on your own, and be totally and completely immirthed.
