Khoo replied to my question, I can die happy... or somethin.
First off, SE++ .. what's up.
Also, Khoo.. a) You are fantastic. I've been a PA fan and forumer since '03 ish, and holy crap have you done wonderful things with the Penny Arcade IP/business.
b) What do you see for the future of the company as a whole? The comic seems to be just one aspect of a greater organization now, and surely it will continue to grow. In your mind, what will the PA of the future look like?
You could say I'm..... Khoorious to know.
Edit: Also, just wanna say that I think it's pretty outstanding how connected you are / try to be with the community. It's extremely impressive.
AHHHH I WISH I COULD TELL YOU.
But I can't right now.
See you on the boards, yo.

What 'revenue streams' have you turned down for PA and why?
[–]robertkhoo 8 points 12 minutes ago
Dating site integration
ads embedded in the text of the newsposts
product placement in the comic
site takeovers (think mcdonalds IGN)
all sorts of stupid shit.
Depending on if I swim in the morning, I am in the office at either 8:30 or 9:00 AM. I've already answered between 20-30 emails before I've left for the office, but by the time I get to the office I probably have another dozen or so that need attending to. (for reference, I get between 150-250 actionable emails a day)
From there it's very liquid. I'll be on conference calls, meetings with different teams at Penny Arcade (Mike/Jerry, Designers, Merch, Ad guys, Tech, Child's Play, PAX, etc.), and then dealing with my own projects. Like I said in an earlier answer, I deal with a lot of the "new" and undefined business, so each and every day is different.
I'll try to grab dinner with different folks here (at any time of the year, SOME PART of Penny Arcade is in crunch mode... PAX events, site launches, CP events, merch launches, etc... people work late), and continue to work into the night.
If there's a game I'm playing actively with the office, I'll hop onto one of the TVs here to play between 9-10PM... that seems to be the magic hour for most folks here when we're playing on Live.
I'm usually out of here between midnight and 2 am.
PA staff has secretly perfected the virtual reality technology they've been working on since Khoo joined the staff. It's ready for a reveal in two months. Gamers everywhere will stop being productive as they're immersed in the true gaming system.

You know, I actually feel kind of at a loss here. I'd like to ask something thought-provoking or unique that you wouldn't get anywhere else but I'm just drawing a blank. So just...keep up the work over at your job. Love PA:TS and all you guys. Stay well!

5. What are your personal goals for PA in the coming year?
I actually can't answer this. We're doing something that is KIND OF A BIG DEAL in February. Probably the biggest move we've made since PAX. SORRY. I AM A BAD PERSON.
I NEED TO KNOW NOW
Khoo has created his own Dr. Doom-style KhooBots. Allowing him to run PAXs all over the world.
Also whenever that damn Richards thinks he's finally killed Khoo, it will just have been a KhooBot.
No, I have basically been off the books since the end of the quarter a month and a half ago, consuming all kinds of other media instead *coughSKYRIMcough*
Jesus. I honestly don't know how Khoo does it. I'm in awe of his dedication and work ethic.

I want to do what Khoo does and be 100% healthy. My two life goals.

Did you at least get to That One Part?
You will know which part I am referring to.
The part where a certain something happens to a certain someone resulting in a certain sense of smug satisfaction?

Are the forums important to your overall Penny Arcade Strategy or just a bonus for the fans? Just wanted to say that you're a great guy in person. You once offered me champagne at a Child's Play charity when I was fairly nervous (I was poor at the time, underdressed, and not quite sure what I was doing there) and it really set me at ease.

The forums are just a great place for PA readers to hang out, but strategically the login you use will play an important role in other stuff we add to PA.

I'd watch that
Maybe they could do a bunch of episodes about the office and the people so we could see what goes on behind the scenes?
That would be pretty cool!!
But Khoo, when the ride breaks down, Gabe and Tycho don't eat the tourists

They should do it.

Man, that dude sounds like a stone cold badass.
NOT THAT I WOULD KNOW OR ANYTHING. ;-)
Also; hi Lexxy, how are you, did you finish Storm of Swords yet?
When booth babes kill your parents, you have no choice but to become a very... specific kind of Batman.
No, I have basically been off the books since the end of the quarter a month and a half ago, consuming all kinds of other media instead *coughSKYRIMcough*
Then we'd have booth babe batman!
I'm not sure how the lonely neckbeards of the world would feel about that variety of batman...
