Read Penny Arcade, video game referencing webcomics
Penny Arcade is a webcomic focused on video games and video game culture, written by Jerry Holkins and illustrated by Mike Krahulik. The strip features Krahulik and Holkins' cartoon alter egos, John "Gabe" Gabriel and Tycho Brahe, respectively. Their characters spend much of the time playing and commenting on computer and video games, which forms much of the basis of the humor in the strip. As mostly a topical video gaming news comic series, there is little plot or general continuity in Penny Arcade strips, and strips are typically drawn from the perspective of fictional characters within a game or movie.

I'm about to head to my Jackbox panel, but I wanted to check in: how are things with you? Oh, feeling fragile? Today's strip probably won't help.

The Blessing, Part Two
It's still Monday, I wrote the last post a few hours ago, but the process of going to Australia alienates one from linear time so utterly that I feel like I should just get one in the can. And anyway, I already know what this strip is about: it is about feeling bad!

As I suggested previously, with me heading down to PAX Aus for about a week Gabriel suggested that we might sup from the bitter bowl of Dreaded Continuity. He asked if I had a Lookouts story I wanted to do, and I didn't when he asked but this was

Enervator
I saw a few full-throated defenses of Tilly Norwood, a kind of cybergolem designed to supplant human actors. It's from Particle6, a company nobody had ever heard of before a week ago, utilizing their DeepFame engine - a name I assure you I did not make up. I haven't seen an

Ghost Recon
An AI version of Stan Lee was fashioned by infernal necromongers, and we do not like it. It's not even a hundred percent clear that he wasn't manipulated into business agreements at the end of his life, which graduates us into grave robbing and potentially even necrophilia. As bold thought leaders, we're prepared to come out firmly

The Measure Of Man
Now that Jump Space - née Jump Ship - is out in Early Access, I've been crewing voidcraft with the Krahulik family and eventually arriving at some kind of success. It has the by now universal Slay The Spire map, where you go to different icons and stuff related to the icons happens, except you're going to

Witchy Woman
My daughter is whole! She has not succumbed to peer pressure, at least not in the way the strip suggests. She is no doubt subject to it on some wavelength my calcified brain can't even perceive, but she doesn't have a Hades II style ghost arm and I don't believe she is learning witchcraft at the foot of Hecate, patroness of

Deluxe Apartment In The Sky
My mom was really late coming home from work once, and cellular phones cost around ten thousand dollars adjusted for inflation then so I couldn't call or text her. It was my presumption that she had been Raptured and that I had been found wanting. Like, first thought.

New Games I'm Playing
My friends Jerry and Ryan both told me that Borderlands 4 is cool and fun once you get far enough into the game. Like the comic suggests, I bounced right off the intro. I kept getting shitty sub machine guns while running through featureless grey rooms. Eventually I got to a shack and that’s when Claptrap started talking and I had to stop. It’s possible it gets good but
