LOL! That poster in in my U.S History class.

RunsWithFire @ Sep 8th 2007 7:52PM

Weird...that poster is in my U.S. History class as well...

Do I know you?

Mrs. Norman by chance?

eip @ Sep 8th 2007 8:28PM

...

It's a famous poster you guys. I'm sure plenty of classrooms have it (including at my old high school).

Bob @ Sep 9th 2007 1:57PM

It seems they don't actually teach history in those classrooms anymore.

Neebs @ Sep 8th 2007 3:35PM

Sigh, I know it sounds wrong, me being the New and Exciting Guy, but PA was ACTUALLY funny this week and actually funnier than any of the other entries.

Patrick @ Sep 8th 2007 3:49PM

I preferred the earlier PA comic, "Getting Down". But I guess they're going with the Lair theme.

Fullmetal Salchemist @ Sep 8th 2007 3:47PM

No CAD? No Dueling Analogs? There is a god....

Word of the street. @ Sep 8th 2007 4:08PM

digitalunrest was cool but that 2P start strip was made of gold haha.

Kazi @ Sep 8th 2007 4:38PM

These are all pretty lame. Can't you guys pick out some good comics?

Dig @ Sep 8th 2007 6:03PM

Kazi says:

We're looking for constructive criticism here. What are some comics they could have used?

Kazi @ Sep 8th 2007 6:27PM

Hey, I was just following instructions.

Lewis @ Sep 8th 2007 4:38PM

I say its between PA, 2p Start and Digital Unrest.

And DU made me laugh most.

Id vote for the PA one if i actually played Lair.
Which (thank god) I didn't

Lewis @ Sep 8th 2007 4:40PM

Bah: ERROR, i meant 2P START made me laugh most, DU gave me a chuckle

2P FTW!

Captain Jody Anthony XVIII @ Sep 8th 2007 4:46PM

digital unrest is the only one to make me laugh, although 2pstart and penny arcade made me smile.

DU it is for me

Ghost @ Sep 8th 2007 4:55PM

Wow, Penny Arcade was actually funny this week...

Lewis @ Sep 8th 2007 5:00PM

Speaking of comics...WTF is up with VG Cats? Did Scott die or something?

Flamehearted @ Sep 8th 2007 5:43PM

Mmm - none of those made me laugh this week :(

Chancy @ Sep 8th 2007 5:45PM

I don't mean to be a grammar Nazi, but the fanboys big a huge grammar boo-boo. Albeit being a big fan of their work...here's what I have to say to them: You're not getting my vote this week!

vidGuy @ Sep 8th 2007 6:10PM

Haha, I was just going to say the same thing. If you are going to stay home to do comics, at least spell check the damn things! No vote for you!

Daecrist @ Sep 8th 2007 5:45PM

I think that after his last extended absence he realized that he could go to posting one comic every six months and still get all the ad and merchandising revenue. Wouldn't be the first time an artist decided to coast on their past success.

DangerMouse @ Sep 8th 2007 5:45PM

Marketing 101 got my vote. Not sure if the last one was funny or not, since reading all the other boring ones preceding it made me lose interest, so i stopped.

Oh, and it's "you're invited" to the person who did the expo one, not "your invited". But it doesn't matter, it wasn't funny.

Fernando Rocker @ Sep 8th 2007 5:49PM

My vote is for 2p Start

The truth is always funny.

Frowelishnu @ Sep 8th 2007 5:53PM

Is the guy who does Robotronic Dynamite related to one of the bloggers here?
He only has five comics and they all are pretty terrible.
For the love of Flying Spaghetti Monster, make it stop!

JoE @ Sep 8th 2007 8:57PM

No, I'm not related to any of the dudes who blog here. I'm just having fun doodlin' on my free time. Sorry that the comics have visually assaulted your eyes and raped your integrity. (^_^)

Frowelishnu @ Sep 8th 2007 10:21PM

Oh Jebus... I'm such a jerk!

I should have known that the artist might see my comment.
Sorry JoE, I guess your stuff just doesn't float my boat/blow my goat.

Joe Shieh @ Sep 8th 2007 10:35PM

Haha, s'okay. I'll take it as constructive criticism. Need to up my game!

The strip is actually a mini-side project to our podcast...which is an AUDIO ORGASM!

elmersglue @ Sep 8th 2007 5:57PM

Yeah those all sucked...on a brighter note, Skate got a 9.0 on IGN, thats pretty cool.

Word of the street. @ Sep 8th 2007 6:33PM

And even so GS SW posters are complaining about it.

In other news I saw the N.E.D.M and N.E.E.M coustesy of my stupid curiosity.Feel free to see them beacuse God how I regret seeing that crap,Hell I never thought there would be anything worst than Goatse.

Vegnagun @ Sep 8th 2007 7:21PM

The kitties are burning!

Slaziman @ Sep 8th 2007 7:53PM

On the 360. The PS3 version got an 8.8 because of aliasing issues, blurry look, and framerate hitches.

elmersglue @ Sep 8th 2007 9:07PM

thanks for pointing that out, didn't realize that...How nice :)

Word of the street. @ Sep 8th 2007 10:02PM

Did you watch it too?,Man that was the sickest thing I have saw in my entire life.

shadow024 @ Sep 8th 2007 7:12PM

PA was pretty funny this time.

Vegnagun @ Sep 8th 2007 7:18PM

Lair did make me feel strong emotions.

Anyone know any dragon pr0n sites? I gots to get me some poorly controlled dragon secks.

Word of the street. @ Sep 8th 2007 7:54PM

Seitokaiba.Arggg!/Dragoonsecks

Slaziman @ Sep 8th 2007 7:29PM

2P start.

Actually the comment from IGN was the funny part, but who cares.

Daniel @ Sep 8th 2007 7:35PM

Personally I think Penny Arcade has gone seriously down hill over the last year and a bit, however this strip is definitely a return to form. No swearing which is only funny if your five, no trying to be funny by being politically un-correct which is only funny if your in your early teens just simple irony. For once I'm going against the grain by voting for PA instead of against it, and it feels good.

blooh @ Sep 9th 2007 1:21AM

they usually don't swear just to swear, they do it because that's how they actually talk

Daniel @ Sep 9th 2007 4:41PM

Well in that case it seems many of their strips go by without an actual punchline. Please don't feel the need to get all defensive though, I used to love PA, my point is just that lately I haven't found them even close to funny. I haven't even been able to see why others _would_ find them funny like I have with other comics (beyond the swearing or paedophilia, etc jokes). I really hope this is a return to form for them.
