A webcomic by {{Tropers/Zanreo}}, started in February 2013, a humor webcomic starring AnthropomorphicPersonifications of video game companies. Covers video game history, current events, and various fun facts about the industry.

The "main characters" are Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, the current big 3 "Consolers" - this is an in-comic term for game companies that make their own console. Of course, these are very big, mighty and important figures in the industry, but being a Consoler also carries a lot of risk. And you're constantly [[ConsoleWars fighting with the others]].
