Meow Skywalker

By Gabe – September 23, 2004

My mailbox was full of requests for a wallpaper sized version of Meow Skywalker so here you go.

Star Wars

By Gabe – September 23, 2004

I just wanted to agree with Tycho here. I picked up the PC version and it just doesn’t feel very good to me. I’m going to grab a copy of the Xbox version today and give that a shot. Maybe it’s a better console game. As many of you know, I have zero patience for games that do not immediately engage me. If I’m not having fun within the first five minutes I consider it a waste of money and time. Tycho is the one to go to if you’re looking for reasoned analysis and informed opinions. I’m the guy you want for snap judgments and petty complaints. If this were any other game I’d probably be done with it after my experience yesterday. The problem is that I desperately want to like Battlefront. I’m going to spend another day with it, and play a couple different versions before I make up my mind.

This Is Not Your Father's Trilogy

By Tycho – September 22, 2004

Because I think Star Wars is a "neat" series wrapped around a single truly excellent movie, I am not the man you want to come to for the rock-ribbed enthusiast's perspective. Indeed, I'm more likely to suggest a comic like today's. I did pick up the new THX-1138 boxed set, which I like a lot, but I like any movie that implies that things could always get worse.

Storm Shadow Returns

By Tycho – September 21, 2004

I've got two new articles from Stormy over in the Hook Up section, and I can't decide which one I like better because I love them both so much.

Undisclosed Propensities, Part 6

By Tycho – September 20, 2004

And now, the conclusion of Undisclosed Propensities. For the longest time, Continuity was something I associated with bad flavors and poor manners. It most certainly did not come over and hang out. Hopefully you were not inconvenienced a very great deal by our antics, which have been arrested in the very moment before a holiday software deluge that won't subside for another three months. Clearly, our services are required.

More Fable

By Gabe – September 18, 2004

I’m getting lots of mail from people about my Fable post. I’d say it is split right down the middle between people who agree the game is a waste of time and people who really enjoy it. Someone mentioned in an email to me that Fable is the sort of game you either love or hate and I think that’s true.

Fable

By Gabe – September 18, 2004

I was worried that when Fable came out I’d get sucked in and I wouldn’t have time to play Burnout 3 and Phantom Brave. So I’m actually kind of glad that Fable was a huge disappointment.

Half-Life 2

By Tycho – September 17, 2004

You'd heard what I have, what everybody has - the first release candidate of Half-Life 2 has been sent to Vivendi Universal. At this point, they'll test the shit out of it and determine if it's ready for retail release. From what I've seen, any other company would have released it already. They're perfectionists is all. Locals have been playtesting it for months.

My son

By Gabe – September 14, 2004

I don’t think that Penny Arcade is a webcomic. I’m honestly not sure it’s ever been one. For me PA is a diary, and so I hope you’ll all forgive me if I spend this morning recounting a particularly incredible day I had recently.

Undisclosed Propensities, Part 2

By Tycho – September 10, 2004

It is a very good thing that we had the foresight to produce today's comic on Wednesday, as I am typing this newspost from the Goddamn maternity ward while Gabriel paces out there in the hallway.

More Demo Mirrors

By Tycho – September 8, 2004

They have it over at 3D Gamers now, I'll probably hop on that torrent. This DLX thing is taking Goddamn forever.

Dawn Of War Demo

By Tycho – September 8, 2004

I just saw this go up over at Gamespot's download site, DLX - here you go. It has a single player level, as well as a skirmish mode.
