You'll notice a new comic at the top of our list this week, and it's about my latest addiction, FTL: Faster Than Light (http://www.joystiq.com/game/ftl-faster-than-light). In preparation for Four in February (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/24/weekly-webcomic-wrapup-is-a-shopaholic/) (while we're at it, let's use the hashtag #4iF on Twitter for this!), I've been opting to play pretty much one game for the last week or two without stopping.
Like The Broctopus implied in its comic, I find FTL to be borderline torturous. Having an excellent ship and crew only to see it all completely wiped out at the drop of a hat is infuriating, but I can't stop playing it. I've had friends describe Dark Souls (http://www.joystiq.com/game/dark-souls) and Demon's Souls (http://www.joystiq.com/game/demons-souls) in the same way, in that those games prove to be difficult while also unbearably addicting.
So, this week's Wrapup question is just that: What's your painfully difficult gaming addiction? While you come to terms with the way you've been treating your brain and/or thumbs, check out last week's webcomics and vote for your favorite after the break!
