An interesting article _about_ (not on) Penny Arcade is up at Seattle Times. Covers a bit of history of the two frickin' geniuses behind PA, good little read.

Good on em, that's about all I can say.

Have any of you actually donated anything to them?
I don't know anyone who would, but they somehow get enough to live off. Mad

Oh, and the size of that tablet .. yum :)

I love it when people call other people nerds on internet message boards.

EDIT: Cool article though. Good to see someone actually making decent $$$ off banners and such.

Don't worry, the posters in their room make them cool by association. Like when you watch The Matrix in a black trenchcoat.

:P

wonder how big the monitor is

Asif you wouldn't already know what they looked like. Any REAL penny arcade fan would.

*waves fanboy flag*

go to ur corner!

good article

Rad article, thanks

Good on em. As the article says, they're on of the only unbiased gaming sites left out there.

haha, I was just about to post the exact same thing

You would, nerd.

id like to see less comics produced, but the ones that are produced be funnier

operator has a script which grabs varoius new comics when they are relased and emails them to a few of us at work (pa, little gamers, dilbert, garfield, ctr-alt-del, a few others)

on the whole most of them arent funny

note to comic strip writers:
obscure/weird != funny

penny arcade is gay and not funny?

We've secretly replaced Einstein's sense of humour with a small bag of potatos. Can anyone tell the differnce?!

they even made themselves look half cool in the cartoons, why didnt they just draw themselves as nerds?

Stan Lee is not spiderman, just so you know.

I think the PA guys lose a lot of credibility everytime they allow a real life pic of themselves to be released...

We've secretly replaced Einstein's sense of humour and ability to identify attractive women with a small bag of potatos. Can anyone tell the differnce?!

Hehe was waiting for that.

These are the guys who make the cartoons that are linked at every forum i've visited and they're generally about counterstrike ehh, geniuses ehh?

No, that'd be something gay.

If by generally you mean they've made one comic about Counter-Strike in the last couple of years, then yeah, thats them.

yer tepid, cause your such a cool dude.

word up my n***** \x/

EARTH TO TEPID. YOU ARE POSTING ON A GAMING FORUM WITH f***TONNES OF PEOPLE LIKE GABE AND TYCHO OK.

You cannot seperate yourself from this group if you post on a gaming forum. In real life you might be 'cooler' but you still associate with these people and communicate with them. If you dont like 'uncool' nerds then what the s*** are you doing on a forum for gaming and other relatively nerdy pursuits?

He was building up his pathetic self-esteem. Now you've gone and ruined it, you bastard.

(BTW, I vote tightass. He's got one of those MacIntosh 1-button keyboards.)
