I thought it was cute and amusing and it made me laugh the first time I read it and smile fondly the second.

Thanks for visiting my thread.

what was that webcomic about the video game nerds? the one where he has his own video game holiday or whatever?

I read that years ago as a teen and it was okay. Heard it went off the rails though.

I remember when they did like a 5-part video series about hiring one cute girl to do their webpage. Also that the fat guy and other asian guy were too funny and they had to get their own internet show because they made the PA nerd guys look like unfunny dad boners in comparison.

I think I read two Penny Arcade comics 9 years ago, but let's take a look at where they're at today...

Jesus, what the gently caress kind of layout is that? I thought it was a one-sided conversation that we weren't supposed to be able to follow until I noticed that speech balloon invading the top and then looked down.
