Penny Arcade

"Annarchy is, in truth, based on one of Gabe's nieces. Pregnancy occurs under very specific circumstances - I don't want to go into the particulars. Let's just say that this troubling state of affairs did occur at some point. So updating the file with the truth of the modern day made perfect sense. Now: even though you sport a dastardly handle, I'm compelled to suggest that i was - myself - an Amiga Kid, which set me well apart from PC gamers broadly at the time. I used to buy imports of UK Magazines to play cool demos and shit, but one quirk of that ancient era was that displays in the UK and in the US had different resolutions! US Amiga owners needed to personally install a "Fat Angus" chip to view the entirety of UK software. It would still run if you didn't have it, but it would not render the bottom of the screen properly. That's just where developers happened to put the HP and stuff. Trivial content, really."

"Well, from our perspective, we are at least as much our handles as anything else. I even have several handles, and I would answer to any of them. Whatever is most comfortable to you is the one we would prefer as they are all roughly ther same level of true. It is the official position of the company that using our actual names cannot be considered "too formal." "

"Haha it's just no fun drawing a helmet. Faces are my favorite thing to draw."

"For a very long time, I used to put song quotes in there. It started way, way back in the day when I essentially had unlimited bandwidth and I just just FTP an MP3 up there and make people listen to songs I liked. One of those you mentioned is called The Mitten Song, it's a getting dressed to go outside song you use to jolly the youth: https://hymnary.org/text/thumbs_in_the_thumb_place "

"When we started the comic, and then ultimately the site, I was still working IT. Specifically, I was a mobile servbioce techniqian for Spokane Public Schools, District 81 at the instruction Technology Support Center - thre ITSC. One of my jobs at that time was to make sure people could not access my own website. It was pretty funny."

"The primary reader of these books is my own daughter. As a generality, people didn't really buy them that much - I enjoyed writing them though. Alas, that is insufficient to make a business case!"

"I have not heard of it, nor have I heard of the first two, but it sounds very dangerous. Under those circumstances, I would let someone ELSE close the favela hell portal."

"I have Blinded my share of Isaacs, yes!"

"Well, if you'd pay a couple million, let's get this show on the road (rofl emoji)"

"Safety Monkey lives about five minutes from me! I cut through a different block because traffic was bad, and he was out there putting something in his car. We smiled at each other as I drove past."

"Gorbiriel and I have a fantasy where we install the game and take it way, way to seriously. As it has not happened yet, I can't name-check any of these horse girls unfortunately. Alas!"

"Frequently. Because there are thousands of strips, it's possible to drop into any era, move forward and backward, and see shit I don't even remember writing. What's funny is that each of us rememebrs different strips. It provides a weird opportunity to actually enjoy some of the work we do for ourselves. If you don't feel the direct connection to it, it's possible to assess some of these on their merits. I am pleased to announce that a subset of our comics are kinda good!"

"I think we already have some! I would be Tycho Erasmus Brahe, scion of the Long Project, and Gabriel would be [REDACTED], the [Redacted] - longsuffering servant of the [REDACTED]."

"I'm not certain. I feel like the story came to rest exactly where I would want it to. If I had to make a new chapter, I know how I would do it - just because I've done so much work on it, it seemes crazy not to consider where it would go if I had to. I guess it... Hm. Maybe I'm thinking about this wrong. I wonder if the book version of OTRSPOD is something like a serious take on LitRPG?"
