    Gabe's arcade could use a Joust and Tempest machine. On the off chance the younglings end up reading Ready Player One. : ]

    Hopefully they'll be spared that.


    Anywho. Comic! Love it.

    Is Gabe standing outside an apartment or a house?

    This is important.

    A filthy aquarium could be a form of Pac Man. You get a goldfish, lots of little bits of fishfood, put four little jellyfish in there to chase the fish around, and throw in a few 'magic pills' of crystal meth.

    I'd play it.

    Ikaruga is one of my favorite games, largely because of the 'genius polarity stuff'. It is the only game I can say I'm somewhat proud to have beat on easy.

    Typically Mike doesn't actually draw the penis in the comic itself. References to dicks, yes all the time, the actual dick, no. So that's kinda new.

    I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

    What? He usually draws the dongs; he even posted an uncensored version of the last time.

    This is the first comic in a while that has genuinly made me laugh. Dat facial expression in panel 3.

    My good friend collects arcades. Him, some of my other friends and I have been to some of the shadiest places on the fucking planet to get a good machine.

    Places you don't feel quite safe even with 4 dudes but damn it they sold him an excellent quality Jungle King for $200

    Hahah, this a reference to John Dies At The End?

    There's a great NSFW moment in that...

    I don't feel sorry for Gabe at all.

    All he has to do is tug that door open and he gets all the games. And who knows what else!?

    All the games a dicknobbed door could hide behind it.

    It looks like Varric has hit some tough times in that first panel.

    First dickwolves, then dickerdoodles and now dicknobs. Penny Arcade will only end when it has depicted everything as a penis at least once.

    This was my first thought as well. This door cannot be opened.

    Great comic.

    The answer is herpes (if you're lucky).

    Heh. Used stuff market on a nutshell. Not only Craiglist.

    Sad thing, all of those are still better than the plain scammers.

  • metfanscmetfansc Registered User regular
    The two games I need Gabe to get so I can vicariously live through his new Arcade is Tron and Crossbow. I am very curious to see how this all turns out though :)

    I wonder if he has ever played Hellsinker.

    This is the hardest I have laughed at a PA comic in a few weeks. They've been interesting, creative, and beautifully drawn, but this particular one really got me. Nice work!

  • RottonappleRottonapple Registered User regular
    Gabe needs to get at least one sit down machine. When I was a kid there was a arcade in the mall that had a sit down After Burner that would go up and down and roll left and right. I thought it was the best game I ever played in the arcade. I so wanted one in my home.

    Dickerdoodles came first.
    Also, don't forget the double sided dildo, and the comic "Dickstarter".

    I generally buy my arcade games from folks on the newsgroup rec.games.video.arcade.collecting, which you can easily find via google groups. Yeah, it's old school, but don't knock it! That group is filled with collectors and folks who actually care about the games.
    Also, when available, I sometimes attend one of "SuperAuctions" events when I am in an area where they have one. Sometimes you get a steal, sometimes not.

    If by disturbing you mean an obvious parody post referencing today's comic then yeah. Totes disturbing.

    This sounds suspiciously like John Videogames is selling arcade machines now. Seems legit, since the man invented them to begin with.

    It's kind of like the sword in the stone, but with a penis and pac-man as the prize. John Videogames is Merlin in this analogy.

  • November FifthNovember Fifth Registered User regular
    I like the fact that Gabe feels the need to clarify ownership of the penis as if that makes a difference to the outcome of the transaction.
