Is Penny Arcade good
EDIT: i was being tsundere cause i was reccomending to a beloved mutual. penny arcade is literally good im just being tsundere about it
JESUS CHRIST WHERE TO BEGIN... well no but there is fun to be had. me and my girlfriend have been Exclusively on this since JULYX
well first off is the actual comic. running 3 times a week from 1997 to today without missing a day, coiner of the term "webcomic". so much early gaming culture is derivative of it (BAD THING.)
theyre always on about some bullshit and killing eachother about it. they can be really funny i have to admit OR it could be 3 panels about some 2004 RTS strategy game ive literally never heard outside of it
created as a joint venture by Writer Jerry Holkins (Tychoπ¦) and Artist Mike Krahulik (Gabeπ‘) they are two awful bi autistic guys who believed themselves to be one functioning person only when together and collaborating. their whole company is built on their partnership which is objectively a HORRIBLE idea but it worked out for them because they are a part of eachothers souls. "Gabriel [Mike] is not my friend; he's more like my arm". but dont believe jerry/tychos words because he likes to be as Esoteric and Evil as possible. then you see him irl and he looks and sounds like a friendly cartoon turtle
tycho is a demented, esoteric pervert, and really really fun87Y32. ze'd hate me for not using bigger adjectives to describe hir ze Seriously makes me google so many fucking words9U823. jerry gets to live out his fantasies of being an Eloquent autistic tortured genius, and then you see tycho in ANY other context (poker night at the inventory) and everyones going WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GUY WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM?? HOW CAN WE MOD HIM OUT LEGITIMATELY9283324
gabe gets to live out mikes fantasy of being violent and cutting tycho up into little bits and stuff and hitting hir and hurting hir. n drawing
IN CONCLUSION... theres a lot thats really funnnn8932 THEYRE CUTE. and theyre really really influential to a lot of the early internet and early gaming culture, WHICH WAS A BAD THING.
THIS ^ is a google drive joey made for me in july of just their funniest and not sexist and not racist comics, first 7ish years. really recommend to see if you like their high highs, built up a tolerance
2. Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episodes 1-4
the best thing ever made. the best thing ANYONES ever made
THIS SHIT IS SERIOUS.
THIS SHIT IS SERIOUS. set in call of cthulu ass 1920s, Jonathan Gabriel is a kidnapped (by Tycho) boxer with a demon inside of him, and Tycho Erasmus Brahe is the last in a long line of cultists dedicated to ending the world in its totality by killing the remaining gods. so thats why theres four "episodes" because at the end of Each one you kill a different god98U32Y723. the first two games were made in 3d by a real ass game company that ended up hating them because it made no fucking money, so then it was cancelled, and Jerry Wrote A Book (little novella dont worry), and a rpgmaker team asked CAN WE PLEASEEE COMPLETE UR VISION CAN WE PLEASE MAKE 3 and 4. and they did and its LITERALLY GOOD.
i legitimately, legitimately reccomend these (if you need to get them for free let me know i reccomend them but not 15 dollars reccomend them98UY2372398U). 1 is kinda rough its VERY grossout very frontloaded but trust me. trust me. stick with me. cause 3 and 4 are fascinating. AND TYCHO ERASMUS BRAHE IS FASCINATINGGG ZE NEEDS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED. PPL NEED TO BE TALKING ABT THIS. lot to analyze in a meta form. theres so much
seriously. seriously. let me know if u want to play these. ill get them in your hands. we need to spread word of this. its 100% serious.
AND ALSO THEYRE ADDING HIR OUTFIT INTO THE POKER NIGHT AT THE INVENTORY REMAKE!!! YAYYYπππππππππ
3. oh i should probably make a poker night at the inventory section
TYCHOS LEGACY IN THIS GAME. IS EVERYONE GOING WHO THE FUCK IS THIS PERVERTTTTT (True. Fully In Character). i love my niche special interest friends Max, Strong Bad and The Heavy ^^ WHO THE FUCK IS THIS PERVERT. WE'RE TRYING TO HANG OUT
and thats 100% true. but on the other hand, a lot of people fell in love w tycho and started selfshipping from poker night so Who can say
hir voice in this game is really funny. thats a voice actor hired Just for this, Jerry Holkins doesnt sound like that. he sounds like a pibble. <3
4. Acquisitions Incorporated their dnd show
ok they also have the longest running (since 2008.) continious DND podcast if Anyone fucking cares90U8YHUGI32
jerry plays Omin, an evilll ceo who cares about Jim too fucking much its going to tear him apart and mike plays Jim Darkmagic the fucking awesomest sex wizard thats ever existed ποΈποΈποΈπππ
theyre the only consistent characters literally EVERYONE else swaps out. they got matt mercer they got wil wheaton theyve got holly conrad theyve got kris straub (maker of candle cove n local58)
in 2018 the plot (Yaoi) starts to SERIOUSLY kick off and its. crazy. its lifechanging its SOOO good. the rpf is insane. i have to reccomend. MOST of it is during Live Shows also, at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo. yes PAX yknow PAX east yknow PAX is Theirs. it was their penny arcade expo. for meeting the penny arcade guys.) they have 2-3 hour live shows with a CHEERING AUDIENCE ITS SERIOUSLY SO HYPE AND FUN TO WATCH8923. ITS LIKE THE SUPERBOWL. AND THEY HAVE TO WEAR THEIR STUPID LITTLE OUTFITS. πππππ
it may also be of use to you to know that jerry holkins wrote two books about "Omin and Jim meeting for the first time", one of which is about that and the other is about them first falling in love and becoming obsessed with eachother and jerking off and kissing and having sex. ITS THE SAME BOOK like 80% of the text is the same ITS FASCINATINGGGG he wrote a straight one and a gay one. mike said u can write the gay one ok but hes not gonna read it. he wrote a gay one and a straight one. its actually something im gonna think about and bring up FOREVER because its suchhh a fascinating read on censorship AND fandomizationITS.SERIOUSLYYSO GOODDD9. ITS SERIOUSLY REALLY INTERESTING BUT HE WROTE A GAY ONE AND A STRAIGHT ONE.. THATS FASCINATING. N YES ITS RPF 8934
also they just swapped from DND to Daggerheart which is a big deal to some people theyre protesting wizards of the coast they had like a polygon article written about it. so there might be new fans coming in but also that first game was not their best that was rough8932
IN SHORT. penny arcade is funny its a RICHHHH MULTIMEDIA rpf Tapestry between two awful autistic guys. lot to find funny And insightful for gaming culture in the comic. RAIN-SLICK IS FASCINATING AND MINDBLOWING. acqinc FASCINATING n inconsistent but FASCINATING. he wrote a straight and a gay book
