    Every PA has been swinging it out of the park.

    Also I'm not sure, is this the first appearance of Tycho's son in the strip?

    He's been in a few times, a recent one was the firework display on the hill.

    Not eager enough to wait in line, but still savage enough when the toy arrives. :D

    Ah even I can relate to this dad comic despite never being a dad.

    I love how enthralled he is with whatever's going on with that WiiU gamepad. Super adorable.


    Also I too shall have a big box waiting for me from Amazon later on today! PS4 WOOOOO! If I could only get out of work...fake my own death perhaps?

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    As a PC gamer, one thing I do envy a little about console people is the anticipation and excitement of a new console release.

    True true, the thrill of acquiring and installing new parts is pretty great too. It's just that it isn't a thrill we get to be part of collectively all at the same time like a console launch.

    I think Tycho may be tilting against windmills in his blag/news update. He says he doesn't want to see other people's real names, but I don't think he realizes he doesn't have to. From what I understand, it's completely voluntary, and must be mutually agreed to between two players. You won't be seeing the names of complete strangers.

    Rest assured Tycho, your nerdical ideal is not being threatened. The dividing line between "real" and "fake" gamers is not being blurred just yet.

    I'm not a nice guy, I just play one in real life.

    Ain't nothing better than that huge box of parts when you build a new PC. And I buy consoles as well, but just something about a PC that makes the box o' parts just terribly exciting. A box of boundless opportunity! Until I fuck up the cable routing and then just jam it all behind the motherboard and close the back plate really fast before the wires all fall out.

    It looks fine from the correct side! Nobody needs to know...

    The struggle is real.

    the next comics will be blank since they are playing their ps4s so much, this one turned out great i love it, very funny how they would rather play with their ps4s rather than anything else, it's cute to see their kids in it too i love the skull figure too

    This comic hits home so hard for me I feel like my dad-glands are going to explode.

    Yeah, I'm a little envious, but I figure the money I saved not having to pay fees for basic internet features on one can be used to upgrade my TV (have a really old ~26" LCD) in preparation for a GabenBox.

    I am now envious that I have no children to send to bed so that I can hog the new console all to myself while they cry into the pillows.

    Shouldn't the bolded word in the sentence be "dream" instead of "food"?

    This is a pretty good birthday comic.

    Not the way I hear it in my head, but I guess it's subjective.

    Maybe I should have tried to buy one at the store…?
    Wha? Does that mean his PS4 isn't working or something?

    I'm not 100% clear that it has actually been delivered to Jerry yet. He said "should be". I'm guessing it's now "won't be." So he could have just picked one up at the store like a chump and been able to play it tonight.

    oh my god that internet safety lecture comic had completely slipped my mind. I almost always like PA comics, but that is one of the few that can make me guffaw like a cartoon dog

    When the Steam Machines are released, PC gamers can collectively celebrate the release of a new console together.

    On the topic of Steam, console gamers don't get the joy and wonder of the Steam Sale. So there's a trade off.

  • QuidQuid Definitely not a banana Registered User regular
    Their individual market places are making some good moves towards similar sales.

    Still nowhere near as fun though.

    Mike has been drawing Gabe younger and younger.

    Seeing new Gabe with his kids is kinda odd to me. They look more like brothers.
    Mike is of course free to draw Gabe however he wants.

    The current Gabe reminds me most of the earliest Bugs Bunny cartoons.
