Remember when Penny Arcade was kinda okay?

I remember bald and piglike

DICK WOLF

...

Same that's the edited version

yes

Why? What are they like now?

I never kinda liked them, then again i liked sprite web comics and fucking VGcats. Thankfuly i can just pretend 2003 never happened, like i do with 1983.

this isn't edited, it's right from their website as published

>be two guys
>playing loads of video games
>talk about video games all the time
>hey that's kinda funny
>make it a comic strip
Love this one.

yes

The was pretty funny user. Can you actually find something that might be considered bad?

I miss when Gabe didn't always have bulging buck teeth and when they didnt use really ugly shading

Buck teeth looks weird.

...

Oh...

Oh.

Not that guy but it's just such low hanging fruit and they're capable of so much better

...

There's only one shot and the rings came out so Sonic is still alive.

It's a bad sitcom joke from 25 years ago.

...

What the fuck is going on?

It's been quite a journey watching Piglike's art through the years.

Like a bellshape-curve, it got exponentially better for a while there, and in recent years it has gone to complete shit.

The worst part is that this is a style is actively trying to achieve. It's not an accident, it's a deliberate style choice on his part. Thankfully, it looks like he finally dropped the red nose bullshit. That was retarded

>mulatto children are squids
Holy fuck, it all makes sense.

I'm pretty sure that joke has been on TBBT at least 3 times

so wheres the funny strips? Isnt this suppose to be a thread to post strips from when they were "actually funny"

Anybody ever play WoW with them?

By which I mean it's good that it's an edit because it's not consistent with the concept.

See, if that was 2 same race parents the comic would have 0 value to anyone but by making the simple move of racemixing you make it a Statement. Now it's a profound IDEA. It's going to make the world Better,

...

I'm sorry. I really do not see the joke

they actually did that joke eight years before the tomahawk comic

...

...

WHY I AM SO BALD

Art can change a lot in 5 years. Hope they do another retrospective soon, see how fucking bad it's gotten and feel ashamed.

Late 2004-2007 was the sweet spot. Also my best memories of them because I finished high square in the middle of that just about.

Coconuts...

>The Dickwolves comic and shirt that made them go full SJW

this is still one of my favorites all these years later.

They're hitting some new lows in their lastest stuff, damn shame since I really like there peak stuff.

help how do i enjoy video games again

I think its amazing that Law & order gg episode was written by Dick Wolf.

Still so unbelievable that this, of all things, is what started to do them in.

Is there an article or archive detailing everything that happened with that? I'd like to relive the cringe

Just make me angry to think about how they buckled in that situation

Also surprised I have seen any edits of this one that came out a few days back.

Yep, that was painful to watch unfold in real time.

It could be worse if there was a cute girl you'd crushed on sitting in the armchair.

haven't*

Dick didn't write it, he's just the executive producer of Law & Order.

if you think he even draws ot anymore you're deluded
they probably pay some art school grad minimum wage to try to replicate his style

man, for all the shit everyone gives tim B^Uckley, mike krahulic sure draws some lame faces

Truly the beginning of the end.

...

2004 optimal

jesus this shit is awful

A!

Remember that time people said it was a bad idea for Diablo III to not have offline single player, and Penny Arcade called them no lifer virgins?

>Rockband Nirvana
>No special edition Fender Mustang

>cute girl

>but by making the simple move of racemixing you make it a Statement
It's only a "statement" when you're looking for it. Go bother someone else with your mental diarrhea, stormblr.

Wait a sec... you mean this SS13 comic was an edit the whole time?!

I guess I should've noticed the weird text placement[/spoiler

I fukken lol'd

...

The bandage isn't colored.

They comic doesn't imply anything about supporting the notion of always online, it's a jab at fans who bitch about things just to bitch then buy them anyway

(you)

I love how this went into affect in the video game

>tycho is the final boss
>All of his attacks are quotes from this comic.

NO U

its one of his spin-off "feel good" comics. kinda dramatic, but good if you're into that kind of thing.

Fucking geniuses.

This is exactly why I wish I could live my life over with my old memories. Or at least the mind of an adult... I could probably do without the memories.

thats the edited one. the original has blood and the gun went bang

Well that would require there to be at least one person who still reads Penny Arcade

they had a pretty good one recently

too bad they followed this up with "TO REDDIT"

I was thinking about this the other day, when this always online thing started to rear it's ugly head i was just as clueless why it was causing such a shitstorm but just because i was a bumbling console pleb, the writter of this shit had no excuse.

I don't see how you got that. It clearly has the part where they say "If you don't want an online only game, you are a nazi like hitler" and then it has the hypocrite saying his game he wants to enjoy single player won't let him play because of internet issues.

See? Because he COULD play it if it wasn't online only. That's the point. I don't need an internet connection for Diablo I or II.

Fucking based.

They didn't go "full SJW" but they lost their edge.
The comic itself was already dying- real life shit like one of their kids being seriously ill (I think Tycho's?) probably drained any humor he had left in him.

Why would you want to suffer the loss of freedom and live with your parents again?

God should patch new game + into real life.

C'mon, man. You couldn't tell that was a shoop y looking at some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shoops in your time?

Meh, that joke has been made already, also "millenial" is being used as a buzzword.

even the year in the watermark is in bold like it was important you know IT'S 2015

I remember I used to actually think the same thing and I always thought IX must have been a spin off or something because it looked so weird.

So i can DO IT AGAIN
DO IT AGAIN
DO IT AGAIN

HARD

Too bad Ronnie only plays console games so he'll never be respected.

does he really need to exaggerate the fact he has milk in his cereal? or does he seriously fucking eat like that?

I like fart jokes.

Who's that semen demon?

You just want to feel offended, user. That's okay, it's pretty normal these days.

Spot the millenial.

Somebody have the Mega Man X/Ten one?

Kek'd good

where's the joke then, enlightened one? why does this three panel image exist?

No!

Emily Geiger from Unteralterbach, she is a literal semen consuming demon.

>offended
but not. I'm mad about single player games being online only. If you equate being mad with being offended, you need to learn what words mean before using them. It's a little better that the issue with single player online games affected him, but I don't think he ever had that moment of realization "Oooh, that's why it's a bad practice. I get it. I was wrong."

afaik its loli pornography and will get you banned on Sup Forums
