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.
I used to enjoy Penny Arcade when I was younger and much more into the game space. I still have a couple of Penny Arcade t-shirts in the rotation which have got to be over twenty years old by now!
Back then there was lots going on - starting the Child’s Play charity, starting PAX, the whole Jack Thompson saga. Also I got the gaming references in a way that I no longer do…
I dip into the strip now and then, but don’t follow it like I used to. The art has gotten really good now, but I do miss the 2005 style.
