Randall Munroe has a lot of respect for Penny Arcade, and I just don’t get it. Any time I try to get into the comic, it’s just not funny or insightful. The only Penny Arcade strip I liked was the one about the big xbox remotes. That was funny!
I haven’t read many Penny Arcade strips, because I don’t have fun when I try to do that. So Lemmy, please help Me. Post your favourite Penny Arcade strips and explain what you like about the comic.
Penny Arcade was popular enough that Tyco from the comic got a cameo as a character in one of the Poker Night at the Inventory games, the first one. I never really liked him and found everything he says cringe-inducing.
And popular enough to launch PAX the gaming convention that ended to growing into multiple events a year around the world.
I remember when Robert joined the team. If I recall he’d just graduated from business school and worked for nothing up front to build the brand. The boys were funny but had made a lot of terrible business decisions and needed someone like him to run the business side.
