This is a thread where you agree with me that Penny Arcade is shit.

I think their game selling well has really swelled the ego of the two. I find Tycho to be particularly offensive, because he strikes me as one of those people who feel compelled to use big words to describe something just because it makes them feel better than you.
Of course, our opinion matter not, because they could spunk all over a sheet of paper, and the legions of fanboys would buy it.

Their biggest offense is that they are one of the few comics that started the webcomic (and more specifically gaming webcomic) frenzy that has infected the internet.
Personally, I like most aspects of Penny Arcade, and having played WoW with Gabe and his wife, I like the people who run it. Willias fucked around with this message on 07-10-2008 at 03:24 PM.

it was a homage to over the top 1980's cold war movies, and it was hilarious.

And if you didn't find it funny then yes, you're like twelve years old.

Sure beats comics like CAD that do a long story arc about a character suffering a miscarriage. Seriously.

Yeah, even what's his face over at the Escapist made fun of CAD for it.

Simply put, I have no idea how Buckley has managed to have the popularity he does, considering how shitty his comic is. I also cannot understand how he manages to have any fans whatsoever, seeing how he treats them all like dog shit. Willias fucked around with this message on 07-10-2008 at 05:34 PM.
They have their moments. I sorta enjoyed Carl and the Deep Crow, but they manage to spoil even those with their endless pretension. The Chaps brothers are really damn big, too, and have their own rabid fans, but they don't go around pawning autographed cels or making boring, quasi-dramatic cartoons that are actually meant to be taken seriously.

PS that webcomic with the miscarriages is totally retarded
