Penny Arcade

So this was drawn by an unnamed intern, right?

Maybe also written by one?

LOL

> importance of minor inconsistency in gaem being exaggerated = super funny
I understand how his son is brain damaged now

I'm surprised PA is still a thing.

>It's Bald Horizon: Zero Dawn and I am a Bald Lady
>I like that she has hair
>Me too

Ok, I get that the message is meant to be a heartwarming "Gaming provided me with a wonderful moment of shared closeness with my daughter" but it reads as "I want to fuck my daughter"

Wait, what? I didn't hear about that.

No, that's his niece who he wants to fuck, at least according to the porn I downloaded a while back.

Close enough.

>I like that she has hair
>Me too

wouldn't be the first comic to give that vibe

Perhaps it's better in it's simplicity.

Bald posting is a dying meme anyways.

You're thinking of Annarchy, who is a brunette. She used to speak in that same stilted proper grammae that Tycho sometimes uses.

His kid heard his soap dispenser talk.
But he is on a bunch of psych meds so who knows.

Only an unnamed intern would like BoTW

>dying
Hasn't it been dead for years?

Not that I don't miss it, but c'mon.

>zero dawn
>not zero hair

I read it as the little girl being a lesbian and him being happy that they have the same taste in women.

...

>Bald Horizon: Zero Hair

>tfw constantly having dreams where my family and friends are angry at me and it's my fault

Isn't that his son.

I thought he has boys, not girls.

Well, I hope your son isn't brain damaged at all, because this strip is in no way based on inconsistency.

Try to get better reading comprehension skills.

The one a few days back was worse. Look at this shit.

Fucking TUMBLR NOSES

awful.

>importance of minor inconsistency in gaem being exaggerated
What? That's not what the comic is about at all.

Your baiting for (you), but I'm just gonna point out this is mocking mass effect and Rosedale

What's the joke?

> some people stick with shit because it's familiar

just like the comic? If it was intentional, then it's pretty good.

I'm pretty sure mass effect gifs don't feature eyes that don't line up, crooked mouths, or spaghetti limbs, but what do I know.

There's no joke.
When you become a parent your life revolves around your kids which includes eschewing jokes and instead sharing a cute thing your kid said the other day.

The art has turned to such shit. It used to be so smooth and clean

Okay comic, fantastic convention though.
That said, this is the only strip from the comic I found funny.

you're absolutely right, but the premise of them doing this joke wears thin when you consider that Gabe's been drawing the characters off model and in ridiculous poses not too far removed from these exaggerated ones for the past few years.

> pig nose
I see what you did there

Thats cute

Sounds like a personal problem.

She was cute. I wonder how she's doing?

I have red hair and I always am happy to see video game heroes with red hair. It's a surprisingly rare thing.

Did you even read it?

>it's pronounced GIF

I smiled at that.

There are so many things more worthy of angst than Penny Arcade.

>not liking twelve matchsteek

Canon gingers are also the first to disappear to make room for diversity.
Like what happened to Wally before Rebirth. Or to Jimmy in the Supergirl show.

Or Annie in Annie.

Man, I still like it. Gets a chuckle.

they are, and it is
they're just nice enough not to point it out to you

Your daughter shouldn't be watching a Rated M game

I hate children.

Anti-Irish sentiment. My ancestors didn't suffer joblessly in the slums of American cities merely to be replaced by the next Johnny-Come-Oppressed.

>muh ancestors were owned

Your ancestors had VALUE. Nobody ever chased after an Irishman, except to make sure he wouldn't die on their property.

The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud.

they're making fun of the terrible animations for the new game, which yes, does feature eyes that don't line up, crooked mouths and spaghetti limbs

Why is Link older than fucking Robert Redford here?

Also swiggity swooty walks and people Barry Allen-ing into and out of cutscenes.

There were lots of Irish indentured slaves in America, actually.
>cunt ends post with "actually"

the joke is that jerry has a fetish for redheads irl. his wife is one and his kids are too, at least his daughter.

so his daughter likes that the protag has red hair because the daughter has red hair too and can relate to her. jerry likes that the protag has red hair so he can masturbate to her. the kid is naive and doesn't get it.

honestly it's kind of fucked up punchline

...

Because LOL funny face.

> I'm so deprived of human affection that I misinterpret every display of it as inherently sexual

Gosh user sounds like a problem with you and not with the comic

yeah, it has the double pleasure of being confusing for people who don't know pa's ancient in-jokes (jerry makes reference to looking for redhead porn sometimes and explains at one point that he doesn't care what his wife wears so long as her hair is red) and also writing his daughter into a sex joke. so it's not funny and creepy.

I miss the days when they wrote about murdering each other for a watch

Clearly you weren't here when that strip first went up, or you'd already have the softcore variant

FUCK YOU

...

> A man implying that he is attracted to a woman while his daughter is nearby is "writing his daughter into a sex joke"

literally tumblr-tier

...

date on this one is 2002

Where did the icecream cones go? WHERE?

...

>Your ancestors had VALUE.
>As SLAVES
Come on, Shitfaced Sean, that's a retarded thing to say and you know it.

...

...

Man, I miss the days when Penny Arcade wasn't a fucking corporation and could say shit about games and companies like this. Now they're limited to kissing ass and completely non-vidya strips about their boring children.

I'd fuck that pig.

>dat art
What...happened? Did he fucking suffer a stroke?

He dropped them.

Penny Arcade used to be the best webcomic of them all. Their downfall has been painful to watch.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the new stuff we got, they do

this shit looks straight out of a hentai

>bad news
I really had no hopes for modern Bioware. Them being shit at everything, especially animation, doesn't catch me off balance. They've been a joke for years now.

Well the good news is that they have somehow been able to outdo even those expectations

That IS good news.

I know it's supposed to be cute, but the way it is presented and the way they say things makes it look like he's going to fuck her.

This is actually really funny though.

Jerry has tried to kill himself several times while Mike is developing a more severe case of depression every day and his coked up on a bunch of drugs to treat it.
Honestly they're just phoning it in for a paycheck now, neither of them even care about gaming anymore and just play whatever gamestop has a poster for in their window

>the way she gets closer saying nothing

YOU JUST KNOW

He has a son & daughter.

The son looks like an actor, but I can't place who.

phillip seymour hoffman?

I for one never noticed the angle others put forward here, that the features in that strip were done for comic / satiric effect.

Then again, it also didn't register that they were supposed to stand out from the usual style.

>Tons of people with easier jobs and more money than I'll ever have are all depressed or fucked up in some way
>The only time I've been really sad in the last couple of years is when my dog died despite the fact I'm pretty poor and will be working till the day I die

Is this how the universe balances things out?

This one is actually funny tho

the fag from hot tub time machine

>tfw all my dreams are me playing good video games that don't exist
whenever i wake up i fucking shout at my alarm clock to fuck off

>can you fit in a suitcase
is this all pedoshit

I'm a dad and all I do is torment my daughter with endless dad jokes

That ctrl alt delete ended up written better than PA

It still isn't.

>He didn't like the Saturn

No wonder he has a black eye. Homeboy was Segata'd.

>because the daughter has red hair too and can relate to her. jerry likes that the protag has red hair so he can masturbate to her. the kid is naive and doesn't get it.
Oh, like when my kid and I watched the Teen Titans "Birthmark" episode together and enjoyed it for different reasons.

Good times.
