Today's most fruit-tastic video: Penny Arcade Adventures 'fruit lover' footage
by Ross Miller 
{ Jan 24th 2008 at 1:30AM }
The video is embedded after the break, although you might want to skip ahead to the battles (we recommend the high resolution version if you want to read the dialog). Also, for those who might have reacted negatively to the previous footage from this week (a good number of commenters expressed dismay), Gabe wrote a post on Penny Arcade expressing his confidence in the title. Sure, there's some obvious bias, but the duo is largely known for its reputation, and we have faith they wouldn't support it if there was a sign of sub-par quality.

Eww.... They sprayed their juice all over Tycho...

I'm excited.
Laugh-out-loud humor, great BioWare-esque dialog options, Final Fantasy-like combat system, great writing, and little fruit-loving robots.

Thanks Gabe.

I still need to get that GTA-ish "Fruit Lover" on a t-shirt. And maybe a poster for my garage for the hell of it... it'll go up right next to Tera Patrick. LoL

That actually looks like it could be a lot of fun.

I'm definitely willing to give this game a try. I don;t think the guys from Penny ARcade would put out a piece of shit.
DarkNessBear @ Jan 25th 2008 10:11PM
I think this game does not look enjoyable at all... I am usually positive when it comes to games, but this game just looks dull. I dunno why PennyArcade guys would create such a dull game.

I think the writing really ties it all together. A definite buy (at the right price)
colin @ Jan 24th 2008 2:51AM
i can't really see what is going on here
colin @ Jan 24th 2008 2:52AM
maybe that is because i have glaucoma ...
nyuk, nyuk ...
ThornedVenom @ Jan 24th 2008 3:31AM
Glaucoma is not a meme.
colin @ Jan 24th 2008 3:49AM
not yet ....
colin @ Jan 24th 2008 3:51AM
p.s. venom, i've wondered for a while now ... is your avatar the outline of an eye, or a crown of thorns, or both? i always see it as an outline of an eye. maybe thats because i have glaucoma.
ba doom ........ ching!

What a brilliantly informative viewpoint, backed up with evidence and explanations!

Don't be too hard on him. He is without a name. Its obvious no one loves him.
FidliousWong @ Jan 24th 2008 11:19AM
He lost his name in the flames of battle long ago. If you must call him something, call him no name....

Indeed, they do suck.
fco. @ Jan 24th 2008 7:39AM
turn based combat sucks
Dustin @ Jan 24th 2008 9:03AM
WOOOOOOOOO! Fruit Fucker!
MD @ Jan 24th 2008 10:00AM
All I want for it is to be fun. I'm not looking for Mass Effect, here. I want a fun game true to the spirit of Penny Arcade, and thusly, the games they have enjoyed.
This looks promising to me. Glad it'll be on Live.
Sean @ Jan 24th 2008 1:35PM
Turn based combat makes me sad.

"The hobos remain...this is what I was afraid of."
Truly, words for us to live by.

He speaks the truth
Cash @ Jan 25th 2008 12:28AM
WTF? It's an RPG?
No one told me it was an effing RPG!
Geist @ Jan 25th 2008 3:14AM
We thought you knew. Didn't you get the memo? I'm pretty sure Dave sent it out last week.
BPM4:Guns of the Idiots @ Jan 25th 2008 3:20AM
Dave's not here, maaaan.
Josh* @ Jan 30th 2008 11:21AM
Holy hell, I have never seen a more boring looking game. Take it back to the drawing board and make the 2D platformer everyone would love
