If you haven't read the Powerup comics - spare yourself the pain. If you have, this is your support group.

Seriously, this is possibly the worst webcomic ever. It has no punchlines, terrible artwork (artwork? I just insulted artworks everywhere), and possibly breaks the record on using gay as an insult. And apparently, it has over 30 updates. A lot over 30.

Can anyone find any contestant for the title?

People who don't realize that PowerUp Comics is one big joke are pretty pathetic.

I think you'd like Game Genies (http://www.comicspresso.com/comic.php?id=1).

Well, I thought it occasionally went into so bad it's good terrain.

This was before these (http://www.drunkduck.com/Powerup_Comics/index.php?p=349761) two (http://www.drunkduck.com/Powerup_Comics/index.php?p=349765) strips, that mark the point at which I (finally!) came to the conclusion that this whole comic really has to be one big joke poking fun at all the ****ty gamer webcomics out there, plus their self-absorbed authors.
Afterwards, this Gamerland (http://www.drunkduck.com/Powerup_Comics/index.php?p=354425) thing happened, which apparently is meant to be a satire of CAD. Now, I've never really read CAD, but at least heard about Buckley's ha ha so wacky protagonist founding a gamer church and whatnot.

Anyway, I've stopped reading then, since even as a parody, it's not really all that good.

It's a joke with all the subtlety of a half kilotonne of C4.

It 's DESIGNED to be bad ... only they try too hard.

Stopped reading it pretty much because it WAS that over the top.

Shredded Moose. Google it or find the link to it on the Your Webcomic Is Bad and You Should Feel Bad blog, because I refuse to contaminate my eyes by looking at that site again. The art isn't that horrible, but it's incredibly sexist, stupid, immature, and pathetic.

you do know that by posting a bash against this comic... again that you only serve to drive more traffic to the site thus allowing them to make more money off selling ads and making it worth continuing the comic. it's posts like this that keep this comic around so if you really do hate it then just ignore it.

That comic has some serious copy-pasta.

Okay, Powerup comics is sort of funny as a "Gaming comics are terrible, and here's how:" but Game Genies has a ratio of 1:1 of comics that exist to comics that I laughed out loud while reading.

Elflad, you are a beautiful animal.

People who don't realize that PowerUp Comics is one big joke clearly haven't spent enough time reading bad gaming webcomics, and that is terrible.

Fixed.

If they have and still don't know, then yeah.

Third vote for Shreeded Moose; the misogyny made my physically ill.
