This is the 'Cardboard Tube Samurai' in Tekken 6

by Ben Gilbert on Jun 20th 2009 5:30PM

Picked up by way of the Gamertag Radio forums from the alleged Twitter account of Tekken 6 -- we know, we know -- it was confirmed this afternoon that the image you see above of Penny Arcade's Cardboard Tube Samurai is, in fact, the real deal. Where, you ask? Well, of course, Mike "Gabe" Krahulik's Twitter account, where he twote, "Yes this is for real. Cts costume will be in Tekken 6!"

He is, of course, referring to the Cardboard Tube Samurai and probably not the cartoon time-traveling simulator we already know will include everything in the universe. Take a look after the break for the exciting Twitter snapshot where Gabe revealed the truth.

I am lost.

I wouldn't call it sheer luck. Robert Khoo managed to put together a solid business plan so I guess its really his fault that they're where they are now. They're early art really is shitty compared to what it looks like now. Go take a look at the early VGcats, those look just as bad. Also, you have to look at PA as a comic strip you'd see in the papers. They update 3 times a week and they don't have any general storyline that they can fall back on when there's not much game news like lots of other comics. Some are going to be bad. There will occasionally be some dull weeks, but the majority are will at least amuse you if not put a smile on your face. But its not like they are not without flaws. They come off as pretentious sometimes especially Tycho. And more often than not you will not get the joke if you haven't heard the news.

This game just can't stop building upon an expected epic win.
Let's hope it won't overload into epic fail.

I can only imagine that the guys at Penny Arcade are squeeling like little girls that they are included in a long running gaming franchises in some way. Sure they have their own games, but who wouldn't be excited that something you created gets put in a big profile game?
