    It's weird how enthralling these episodes are even though I have basically no interest in ping pong and have never played once ever.

    And now I am re-watching the Season 1 ping pong episodes.

    Whenever I play the ping pongs, my balls roll under the furniture.

    Every time I watch a Ping Pong episode I am filled with a strong desire to play some ping-pong.

    I think one of the most satisfying feelings in the world is when you force your opponent to lob one onto your side of the table and just SMASHING the hell out of the ball.

    second only to hitting it right at the corner so it rolls off and there's no chance for a return

    Yeah, but that only happens to me if I get lucky. The smash is usually the final blow to an opponent you have on the ropes.

    Well, at least for that point.

    I just don't associate Penny Arcade with beauty and hygiene products. I mean, completely unrelated to the subject matter for one, and also antithetical to much of the fanbase. I can't see a P&G marketing exec looking at the site's breakdown and declaring it a must buy.

    he says them both! I didn't like spelling out kree though so I went with screech

    but of course you would spell out kree, you...you kreetin

    also is it just me or are their ping-pong skills improving dramatically over a short period of time

    I used to be all "man I need to get a job there so I can be king of pong" but now I am hiding under my table in fear of the penny horsemen of the apongcalypse

    it looks like a machine that serves a ball to you and a net to catch your serve returns.

    It's a return trainer.

    I love how everyone has their ping pong outfit. Their microfibre polo and shorts.

    Not enough headbands, though.

    I really have no idea why ping pong is so popular with them, of all things.

    It also looks hard as hell. If I worked there I think I'd probably be on the Scott/Kris ladder instead.

    I think you making some rather offensive assumptions about who we are. We aren't all fat male nerds who live at home and whose main source of food is a 7/11.

    Anyone interested in starting an underground gambling cartel centered around the PA Ping Pong ladder and their league?

    We'd just need alpha to give us regular updates on matches and rankings.

    For the ads, it's probably more like a package deal. Doubt they even know what specific sites/videos are playing the ads. And the shampoo I buy actually is more expensive than Herbal Essence, so there you go.

    As for the video, can't wait for the ball-hitting conclusion! Wonder if Screenlife uses the SceneIt! controllers for paddles.

    Guessing PA won some big award again he has to attend. Or they went to CES.

    Also, it's kinda cool how Erika has a New Jersey tattoo. But to me it's like, "whoo hoo... go.. uh.. new jersey? yeah? they have a bridge to philidelphia.. whooo"

    (I haven't been to jersey in 26 years.)
