    I dunno, I thought this one was pretty funny. And the one a few comics after that with the mute Pyro in TF2 was good for a chuckle.

    He sucks for updating though. At least Penny Arcade is reliable for updates and reliable for laughs. I still chuckle when I think to myself "How do you account for this pimped out rig, sir? Do you deny that this shit be bangin'?" "Order, order!" "The prosecution asserts that this shit is off the hook."

    Tycho is absolutely hilarious, and Gabe's able to capture emotions like a masta'. Remember the one about tits in Mass Effect? Tycho describes some horrible alien chesticles, and the last panel... lemmie find it... here. The look on Tycho's face as he pictures those forty alien bubbies is priceless.

    Also, my fav Penny Arcade lines of all time:
    "Shit, that sandwich looks delicious!" "That's because I roll twenties."

    I wish I could make my living off being a gamer (well wishing won't make it so!), but at least I can spend a portion of my Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays appreciating the best in the biz.

    *

    I once had a conversation with my brother about Tycho's posts, concerning how half the time the guy comes across as kind of an asshole. "But it would bother me a lot more..." I begin.
    "If he wasn't usually right," my brother finishes. Exactly.

    I think those jokes were old in 2002.

    I... I actually laughed at the top right corner. It was funny to me.

    I'll get my coat.

    It was funny. The problem is that the joke is about as old as Aeris dies jokes.

    Wait... Aeris dies?! Fuck!

    Technically not a photoshop, but I got to thinking...what would've been an absolute disaster if it were made into an Atari 2600 game?

    This was the first thing I thought of.

    Maybe they could drop even lower than 17. That'd be the big new feature.

    I mean, come on guys. Answer quiz questions for teh boobies?

    Just use Google, man. Geez.

    Check this out.

    Not exactly what you are describing, but pretty close.

    Maybe not the epic failure that you are describing, which I can imagine already.

    Unstoppable chants of "wher can i get the triforce", "I need items plz" and "Level me level me" always just... make me want to punch a fucker.

    Oooh.

    That's not what's scary. Imagine WoW and all the fucktards it has right now. Take that, and add in one million 12 year olds with microphones and anonymity.

    Is it possible that someone could either give me a quick primer on how to photoshop and post an image I have in my head, or be willing to do it for me? cause I have an idea so terrible, if made real, it would start World War 3, if not hearld the end of the world...

    *edit* I realized that it would be best to mention this idea is not horrible in the same sence of the Micheal Jackson dress-up or Necrophillia games, but the culmination of the greatest fears of a specific fanbase into a single image.

    A wide range of poasts, by me or my Mum, could have given it away.

    "Procter" looks a lot more like "proctor" than "proctologist."

    And interesting note, my Firefox spellchecker didn't have "proctologist" in it.

    Just clean up some of the grammatical and such errors ("Adventure to catch to ultimate catch) and it'd be godlike.

    Edit: Goddamn it, as I'm telling you that I submit my post with "cleam" instead of "clean."
