The Official Penny Arcade Thead

I got the impression that it was a dashboard bobble head.

Ah, makes sense. I was thinking it was kinda weird that they would just have him randomly fucking a fruit in their back seat. :lol
 
I just don't get the rest of the world's love for Seuss. I mean, I like Dr Seuss's work, but I don't love it and parodies of his work aren't automatically funny to me.

Maybe this will be better after the fourth part is posted.
 
I find the Penny Arcade duo to be oddly compelling. For some reason watching two nerds discuss their office life on PATV or listen to them bullshit while writing a comic is enjoyable. Maybe because it's rare to see people who are so genuine.

I wish the PA Live Arcade games would drop in price again. I want to buy those right now.

Oh God this killed me. Not really gaming related but a really funny strip
 
I didn't find it particularly funny but I think what they were going for was, 3 wacky stand-alone panels that seemed like they could conceivably been the last panels in their strips over the last year. But the joke is, as it were, they weren't really. They were just made up for the purpose of this strip.
 
Oh, I see. I totally did not get what they were going for there.

Plus, making them all genitalia-related gave the unfortunate false implication that it was a single strip...
 
First panel of Friday's strip is a contender for the most hilarious thing they've ever posted.

Today's strip is kind of meh.
 
Last week, when every blog took the opportunity to regurgitate a rancid, reeking mess of the year's "best" every Goddamned day, I wondered why we weren't partaking in this ritual. Those articles were barely worth reading the first time, and now they're shambling back, blind and grasping, like some headless groundskeeper? That seems like a strong play, and preferable to actual work. So, here they are: the most incisive, most poignant assertions made by the site in two-thousand and nine. If you don't remember them, maybe you were drunk. As you so often are.

Somehow, I can see all those being quotes in a Matt Hazard game.

Hats off to you if you can read the following quote with a full understand of the message he is trying to get across.



I'll be extremely impressed considering that the word synergants isn't a real word and you just created a definition for it in your head. He switches between showing his annoyances with the Live community to stringing together something that sounds like corporate buzz-words. One of which doesn't actually mean anything.

If expecting real words and common English from someone that makes a living off of commentary makes me a mouth-breathing troglodyte, so be it.

extremely old quote, but goddamn he was making fun of corporate buzzwords in that post by making up bullshit words, you are A Stupid Person


oh and a Comic:

Pretty much my experience. I had no clue what was going on and I hated it.

It kind of sounds like ArmA II. Except it would

- Create a character
- Slowly creep towards your object for 45 minutes, scanning everything around you every 2 seconds
- Get shot in the head 200 feet away from your objective by someone you saw, but couldn't do anything about
 
The Bayonetta one is pretty funny. Not for the Bayonetta joke, but for the "Gabe raced home from the mall in his excitement over tits and breasts" joke.

Wow they are eating up Darksiders too. That game is turning out to be like the surprise of the century.

Today's. It's about MAG.

Funny... I had that happen to me Bad Company... like throughout the entire game with snipers in the mountains behind my spawnpoint.

I had great fun in MAG and always knew that the enemy wasn't behind me, so I dunno why people have the exact opposite experience I did.
 
Tycho sez:
Maybe it isn't entirely forthright, putting a crusader badass the cover of your medieval allegory - but I don't care. In fact, I support this kind of thing wholeheartedly: fact is, sometimes you got to lie to a motherfucker. If showing a dude holding a giant spine with an aftermarket scythe affixed is what it takes to get young men to read a single page of the classics, than so be it. I hope these shenanigans work like gangbusters. We've got your backs on this thing. Looky here, we'll even prime the pump.

Yeah, certainly not a job i've ever fancied.

I'd have thought it was common knowledge by now that game testers have to do some real tedious shit?
 
kind of late, but the youtube movie with the Xbox live mod was funny.

I mean, of course you should challenge a gatekeeper without anything whatsoever protecting your ass, it makes perfect sense. :')
