Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Penny Arcade on Google Currents

Would it be possible for Penny Arcade on Google Currents?
For those that don't know Currents is Google's attempt to make a glossy magazine app for Android and iOS. The trouble is there's no content.
You build content with Google Chrome using RSS and things like that.
It would be great if we could have the Penny Arcade comics and articles on there too. You could also build in tweets and other stuff.
I have imported the plain RSS from Google Reader for now but the layouts are horrible and you have to use the browser to view the comics.
As far as I understand it after the initial configuration there wouldn't be much work required to keep it going. I understand however that it might not be worth the time.
I am unsure how advertising works and what platforms are allowed/possible. Perhaps that doesn't matter because of Penny Arcade's new direction...
Would anyone else be interested in this?

I know it's not exactly the same, but I think it's unlikely that they'd do anything with Currents until after they improved the RSS feed.
Also it would be great to get the Penny Arcade Report built-in too. Love their content.
