Never kick your girlfriend…
Penny Arcade is running a storyline right now that so perfectly captures the stupidity of blaming pop culture when your kids do something violent. They manage to say is a few panels what would probably take me paragraphs and paragraphs to say.
See how silly? PA rawkz yer momz.
BTW, if you are even remotely interested in gamesand you’re not reading Penny Arcade, you’re a big poopy-face and I no longer consider you a person. You’re dead to me. So start reading it, because both the comic and the commentary are some of the best writing out there.

It’s funny you should write this; I was just coming from there. I tend to agree with you completely. Sometimes the comic isn’t hitting, true. But something about Tycho’s writing style just works for me. I also enjoy gabe’s art.
However, they aren’t for everyone. In fact, people who are remotely interested in games are much less likely to get a lot of their jokes. And uptight people don’t know how to laugh at their brand of humor. Sucks to be them I guess.

By the way, that series isn’t done yet. A 4th strip arrived today and a 5th is implied.

lol, i still haven’t beaten the first game (It’s on the to do list). But yea I always dig penny arcade. But lately i’ve been a sucker to PvP.

Phew. I’m not dead to you. Wouldn’t have wanted that.
But yeah that is so true. And the fact it isn’t a gross exaggeration is what is real sad.
