    New, but familiar territory for the gang. I like it.

    Best part: I now get a new comic every day during the week, Monday thru Friday. Bonus.

    Anyway, I look forward to following The Trenches.

    Looks narrative driven? Hope there is some PA-esque zaniness (humorous or dark) coming. If this single comic is representative of the series, it is a little dry for my tastes. Seems odd to see 3 hilarious people keeping funny at arm's length.

    This review was for all the fans I've neglected. I will now retreat back into the Internet.

    Also, I expect this to be exactly why I will never ever take a job testing games.

    This was totally unexpected since it feels like forever since the announcement, but I am suddenly crazy excited about this. I'm actually really hoping this is narrative-driven what with the link for "Seasons" and all. I'm just going to take a wild guess from this one comic, but it looks like Scott's doing the characters and Mike's doing the backgrounds, which is a really cool mash-up I think. Also, the site design is slick. I just wanna roll around in it for a while.

    Yeah... I definitely appreciate folks who try to get in the game industry, but I've never really thought it was for me.

    It seems like games only really attract two kinds of people:
    1) People who are super passionate people and intelligent. See the folks in the game design thread on here.
    2) People who are like, "d00d, I wanna make games!" I knew a few guys like this in college. Oy. It's really bad when they're failing they're CS classes and they're all "how are linked lists relevant to making games!??!?!?!?!?!"

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a middle ground. Like, you usually just don't end up in games.

    I'm really looking forward to this new collaboration.

    I still remember being introduced to PA back in '99.

    BTW, does anyone know if there is a RSS xml link? I tried to put trenchescomic.com into google reader and it didn't work. Thanks.

    I took the liberty of decoding the text on that page. It says:
    Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy - Isaac Newton

    I've seen 'em come and go and I've seen 'em die
    And long ago I stopped askin' why - Johnny Cash

    This summer: a startling vision of the future from Spire Award Winning
    Author W. C. Anders.

    noun
    a sideboard or cupboard.
    ORIGIN late 19th cent.: Italian, from medieval Latin credentia (see credence ).

    Words are very unnecessary - Depeche Mode.

    Just base-64, as someone mentioned above. It's easy to recognise by the characters that appear in it.

    It's also the way (for example) a picture gets encoded when you append it to an email

    Wow, it's kind of amazing you were able to note that it was a Tesla Roadster and not, say, a Lotus Elise.

    I hadn't even considered that it was a real car when I first saw it, just assumed it was a generic Ferrari-like sports car.

    Neat-o! For anyone else whose curiosity is piqued, it's this.

    So, is this comic going to get its own SE++ threads or does it fall under the jurisdiction of the general webcomics thread?
    These comics will get their own sticky thread in SE++ just like regular Penny Arcade comics and PATV episodes.

    They will still fall under the rule of "all discussions in the thread are to remain on-topic regarding the comic and its content" as per usual

    I feel like I've seen these descriptions before. Did they announce the characters as a kind of teaser at some point?

    Yeah, I found that, but there's no descriptions. I feel like there was an earlier version of the site. archive.org disagrees though.

    Looking forward to the future of this comic. Might I request a delightful unique favicon at some point in the future so that it doesn't it doesn't sit as a sad white sheet of paper on my bookmark bar?

    Quick questions: Is this a permenant ongoing thing or just a temporary project?

    And is SE going to keep sticking new comics like we do with PA?
