BTW, just so nobody takes the strip out of context, I believe he's saying that classic games can't be reviewed with today's eyes, not that classic games are a waste of time to review.

Sorry, I didn't love it :( . Maybe I'm just not getting the joke or something. By the way, the lower case f's in that comic look too much like lower case p's.

I didn't love it, either.  There's no joke, no humor, no nothing.  Just a lame rant which nobody cares about.

I don't think I've ever seen a web comic with an actual punchline, they're all so painfully not-funny.  Hell I'd rather read Family Circus than any web comic.

im glad to see othr people hate this stupid thing too!  there is no real joke, just an obvious statement that is turned into some screaming rant.

or it follows the patter of  "dude", "yeah..."  which is not only unfunny but extremely pointless!  i feel like its some mesage board overloaded with trolls that someone decided to draw pictures to!

the whle "dude, yeah" thing kind of works on a tv show like  sealab 2021, but only because it is so cleverly written and appropriate in that kind of context becaus people actually talk like that. but then the same legion of fans, who dont fully get the joke, start to make their own crappy productions of whatever with non jokes and it comes offlooking like crap because they speant 5 minutes thinking it up.

of course onetme i brought this idea up in a convesation with some people from gen Y and they all  freaked out on me, like i was some old timer who complained about bellbottoms and long hair and not being hip or with it.


i think the internet has destoryed all creativity filters. of course im not trying to stop free speech, as everyone thinks i want when i say this, but the internet has really lowered the bar on what passes for entertainment. simply because anyone can do it. true it has allowd SOME things to come out of the dark that canbe enjoyed, butid say 90% of it garbage. just look at youtube. with people who edit videos to other peoples music using only JPEGS and painshop text to try and tell something. maybe peny arcade gets cred because its actualy drawn somewhat OK. but these kind of things have NO value! maybe people eat it up because it is worthless, and unlike the paper, the radio the tv who have  controls in place to keep quality high (yes it is  to make alot of money too, duh) but still most eveything in real media beats  stupid my space, you tube, blogs and webcomics everyday for the rest of time

also dont comic strips usually have some backgrounds?

Maybe if you f*cks, I dunno, learned to read perhaps, you'd know that I said I MOSTLY HATE PENNY ARCADE! AND I'M A f*ckING FURRY, I HAVE MORE RIGHT TO HATE THEM THAN YOU DO!

And yeah, this strip isn't very good, BUT LOVE THE MESSAGE!

yea the point get across. why do you need to review gamesthat you already know what they are.


but i hink a non verb "f*ck" doesnt ever make anything more funny. it just gets added in to seem more edgy then becomes defacto that you must do it.

now if it was  verb "f*ck" where he says "it is f*cking  pacman!" where as some review came to life and started giving the business to packy, then THAT would be funny

It wasn't to be "edgy" or even funny, it's to better verbally illustrate how pissed he is.

I don't know what a "furry" is, but I assume that means you have sex with animals.  But let's get one thing straight... nobody has more of a right to hate something than ME.

At the moment I think the only thing worse then this is that PS3 ad I posted  a link to,but both are just about on equal ground with me. I care not for neither nor.

I haven't viewed them all, but they are great. "Seedless", "Gingerbread Man", "Now Showing".... great stuff.

Yeah, it's like the only consistently good webcomic. The earlier stuff is downright HILARIOUS!
