The big announcement that Penny-Arcade is suppposed to make later today has already been given away in a press release.
Should I spoil the surprise, or would that be lame?
And actually, as far as the press release that I'm looking at, I'm just assuming that it's the big announcement because it's a pretty big deal. It doesn't actually say that this is the same thing that they are going to say tonight at 7pm.
EDIT: Nevermind, it's already been posted on GameSpot and somebody linked to it in the other thread. When I was first writing this, I searched Google quickly, and idn't find an article about. So anways, I'll just say it.
Hothead Games is making a Penny Arcade game.
"The first game, entitled
Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, will be a comic adventure game initially available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, followed by a version for next-generation consoles. The game will be available by digital download, delivered in episodic format with new installments of the adventure coming out several times a year."

Holkins then paused to eat a rat whole.
