It’s “The King and I” in the World of Warcraft lately — the Lich King is everywhere, and this past week we moved even closer to the release of the most popular on the internet game in the world’s second expansion. Joystiq’s sister site WoW Insider, as usual, has all the angles covered — if you want the hottest new spoilers, a more casual look at why the expansion is so important, or just to keep up to date on what’s in the old game (wait, there’s an old game?), we’ve got you covered.

 Maybe it’s the upcoming expo, or that we made the focus of this week’s wrapup on the comic series, or maybe (just maybe) it was the favored gaming comic. Whatever the reasons, Penny Arcade’s “A Life of Service” took top honors in the webcomic wrapup.
Second place was taken by 2P Start’s Level Up!, while Hijinks Ensue’s Scared Straight claimed a distant third. A special mention goes to Robot Martini’s two great tastes, which came in last place, although we actually quite enjoyed it. Thanks to everyone who voted, and be sure to let us know of any game-related webcomics you stumble upon this week!

As promised, Sony and Incognito have rolled the latest Warhawk update out of its hanger, prompting a mandatory install once you begin the game. Major additions for version 1.5 of the game include much-anticipated PlayStation Trophies (57 of them, with a good mix of gold, silver, bronze, and “mystery offerings”) and support for custom music via the in-game XMB.
We’ve just installed the patch and are firing up a match with Hanson’s “MMMBop” on full blast! Sure, the update’s no new-map-and-rocket-packs gala like the upcoming Fallen Star booster pack - which hits tomorrow - but it’s nevertheless another nice show of free support for a still very popular, ever-expanding game.

Microsoft has released their partial game schedule for the upcoming Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, and it’s chock full of Gears of War 2, Halo Wars, and the New Xbox Experience … experience. Sure there’s plenty of other stuff happening at their booth as well, but we’re drooling over these three right now, fetch the bibs. Hopefully those “TBA” slots mean there’s going to be some surprises from Bungie someone, which will really kick our saliva glands into high gear.
If you’re going to be at PAX, be sure and stop by for some hands-on time with these titles, and then search out one of your favorite Joystiq bloggers to pal around with. We’ll be the ones with the plastic spit-shields on to keep the precious electronics dry.

Next week at the Penny Arcade Expo, we’ve been given a opportunity to sit down for an interview with PA creators Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik (i.e. Tycho and Gabe). While we’d love to brainstorm hard-hitting questions for the two, we suddenly realize we’re very lazy people. So please tell us what you would ask the Dynamic Duo and we’ll pick out the ideal quesitons and use them in our interview.
Here are our (admittedly too numerous) picks for the week’s ideal game-related webcomic. Polling after the break; be sure to vote for your favorite!
Level Up! (2P Start)
The Latest Score (Castle Vidcons)
two great tastes (Robot Martini)
A Life of Service (Penny Arcade)
For Aiur (MNC)
That Famous Equation (Digital Unrest)
The Force Unleashed (Extra Life)
Karting Sickness (Horribleville)
Cool Webcomics for Attractive People (Dueling Analogs)
Force Powers (CAD)
Do-Over (Burn the Internet)
Scared Straight (Hijinks Ensue)
