Alright, this is getting ridiculous. Activision has yet to respond to our requests for clarification, and anecdotal reports continue to contradict our finding that
the Rock Band Stratocaster does not work with Guitar Hero: Aerosmith on the Xbox 360. If you'll consult our
guitar compatibility matrix, you'll find that incompatibility is par for the course, so we left it at that. But conflicting reports keep coming in.
Our original tipster, who works for a rather large gaming magazine, tested all manner of guitars with
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith but, alas, he was on an XDK – the Xbox 360 debug kit (and no, the above is not Photoshopped, it's a direct screen grab). Perhaps something, however unlikely, has changed from the reviewable code to the final retail code? Even then, we've gotten tips as recently as this morning claiming the
Rock Band guitar
does not work with the retail release of
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. Frankly, we can't keep track anymore so we'll do the next best thing: power of the masses.

For the Rush reference and a Seussical interpretation of
Guitar Hero V's drum set, we handily hand
Hijinks Ensue this week's
webcomic wrapup award.
Second and third place go to
Penny Arcade and
2P Start, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Along with finally confirming
Diablo 3's existence, Blizzard also revealed two of the five (
or perhaps more) classes, the Witch Doctor and the Barbarian. Although we imagine any returning characters would see a massive overhaul from their previous renditions -- that's assuming the remaining three aren't entirely original -- we want to know who you'd like to see make it into the third game.
(Note: All classes in the game have
both male and female options, hence voting
D1's sorcerer is the same as voting for
D2's sorceress.)

It turns out Joystiq readers are very smart soothsayers (not that the entire internet didn't see it coming, either through wishful thinking or horribly Photoshopped images "leaked from Blizzard's servers"). When the mysterious week-long splash page started, we asked you to
predict the announcement expected at the Worldwide Invitational. Here were your top three answers:
- Diablo 3, and it's about time! (43.8%)
- Wrath of the Lich King release date (19.2%)
- Starcraft 2 release date (8.9%)
Congratulations to everyone who guessed right. And as for everyone else ... hey, what are you complaining about? You still got
Diablo 3!

Blizzard's new
splash page has set the internet on fire. With the developer's
Worldwide Invitational set to begin this Saturday in Paris, we've got about three more days to speculate wildly as hundreds of "top secret inside sources that are 110% reliable" feed us tips about the big news.
The top two rumors seem to be
Diablo 3 and a
Wrath of the Lich King release date, but we think anything's possible -- if you recall, last year's big announcement was
Starcraft II. (Our money is on a Wii-exclusive
Blackthorne FPS.) Tell us, what do you think is Blizzard's ice-shattering announcement?

Some say they were picked by merit of being
Penny Arcade. Still, we think this strip was rather poignant and quite deserving in its own right of this week's
Webcomic Wrapup. We'd love to present a trophy, but we're not so good in the art department and Gabe doesn't return our emails. Maybe we have to beat him at
WoW TCG to get his attention.
Second and third place go to
2P Start and
CAD, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any gaming comics you stumble upon this week! Well, actually ... since we have to get back on schedule, you've only got about 20 hours to get our attention.

This week's
webcomic wrapup was over before it started. There's something ever-so beautiful about Christopher Robin's fantasy being played out through our fantasy of capturing intelligence, building sentry guns, and using a flamethrower in a virtual, carefree environment. Our hats are officially off to you,
Fanboys-Online.
Second and third place go to
2P Start and
Penny Arcade, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-realted webcomics you stumble upon this week!

By a rather large margin,
Penny Arcade's "The Unhorse" took the top spot in this week's
webcomic wrapup. And we're sure all those voters were rooting for the horse, right? Right?
Second and third places go to
Fanboys and
Digital Unrest, respectively. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

Apparently putting two Penny Arcade entries doesn't split the votes, but somehow garners Tycho and Gabe with over 50% of the weekly webcomic wrapup's votes.
