Further, gaming webcomics take MostWritersAreMale to its logical extreme: virtually all [[MostGamersAreMale gaming webcomic writers are male]], and usually fairly young, affluent and nerdy at that. Combined with the [[{{GIFT}} Great Internet Fuckwad Theory]], many webcomics sink to RefugeInAudacity BlackComedy fast. Scatological humour, gratuitous bloody violence and blatant sexism are unfortunately much too common.

Also, what sort of games do your characters play? Do they play anything that catches their eye, or are they drawn to a particular genre? Are they RPG fans, always joking about inventory limits or wondering why [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]] doesn't just buy his bottles at the shop, rather than going on epic side-quests for them. Or maybe they play {{First Person Shooter}}s, and decorate their home with [[CrateExpectations dozens of plain wooden crates]]. Perhaps they're into retro gaming, ranting about why the 8-bit era was the best or bemoaning that [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner freakin' duck]]. Or are they into two different genres, which can make for a lot of conflict?

* ''[[http://www.drunkduck.com/Powerup_Comics/index.php Powerup Comics]]'' - [[StealthParody A deliberate attempt]] to make the [[DarthWiki/PowerUpComics worst gaming webcomic ever]], with shoddy art, flagrant sexism, racism and homophobia, no plot or jokes, and the most intolerably smug MartyStu ever. It works.
