god bless you, annarchy

(of note, she's tycho's niece, and the man is his brother)
 
I think the hate for P-A is contagious.

At least appreciate that their drawings are good to look at, well, I find them to be anyway.
 
PA ran a poll in their forums a few days ago asking which character should have thier own story. Annarchy won out by a landslide. This is probably the first in the series.

She rocks.

Maybe it's too obscure, but does anyone else think that guy looks like Nitz (or is it Nick?) from that former MTV cartoon, Undergrads?
 
why does the comic show up here faster than it does the website? It's still the dog and dog newspost.

Are you some kind of Internet magician matlock?
 
HAHAHA! She likes gaming, SHE IS A GIRL!! HAHA LOOK AT THE COMEDY!!

Jesus Tapdancing Christ that was a stupid ass comic.

Of course he is, but more like Robin I think...

If there was someone that really was batman, that guy would be me, I wished for that shit super hard when I was little
and big :(

No Way! I wanna be Batman, you can be the riddler, or the penguin. Or the joker, haha yeah, the joker. No wait, you can be Batgirl! Maybe like a transgender Bat-thing.

Comics are uploaded on Penny-Arcade the night before, and the files are named by-date.

Please don't complain about something being unfunny, then type something like "Jesus Tapdancing Christ."

God that was a terrible show.
 
1) Annarchy is popular because she's a girl with a handle and she's adorable.

2) The hate that goes on the boards for PA is unfounded. The comic is funny, especially to internet/game geeks, which considering we're on a gaming message board, that would be 100% of this board. I guess you people don't like for others to be successful. Coming to every single PA thread and saying shit like "where's the funny", "Not funny" or "penny arcade sucks" *is* Grade-A trolling. I just wish this board actually had some kind of enforced policy on trolling.

Please die. That show is awesome. Thank god it was popular in Canada, and so Teletoon never cancelled it. In fact they've been running the same 13 episodes for about three years now. I wish they'd make another season. :(
 
I like Penny-Arcade too, but do we really need a thread every M/W/F saying, "TEH NEW PA, ACTUALLY FUNNY FOR REALZ NOW!" Seems to me that's as bad trolling as all the haters...

Don't you know? We're not just gamers, we're also critics of comedy! If we don't find it funny, then it must not be funny!

I loved that show. I dont see what you could have against it. Curse MTV for cancelling it so soon

Curse MTV for cancelling Clone High too soon.

(And is PA down, or is it just me?)

1) But she's not a "great, great" character because she lacks two things: 1) greatness and 2) greatness.

2) I hope the creators of Penny Arcade make a billion squintillion dollars. That doesn't mean I think that many (well, any) of their comics are funny. And when their horribly unfunny works are published on this InterWeb message board, you should expect people to speak honestly and say, contrary to your opinion, that this week's comic is not at all humorous.

Finally... Cartoon girl + handle + cute = popular? Color me unimpressed.
 
Jeez, do you expect every comic to make you laugh so hard that you shit in your pants? The comic was amusing, well executed, and well drawn. If you can't see the humor in it, then maybe you're beyond saving, but it's not supposed to be the greatest joke in the world. (That was already covered by Monty Python's Flying Circus).

I think the greater question is why read it if you know you're going to hate it anyway? It's fine to be critical and say "Well ... that one kinda sucked.", but to say "Oh, PA, unfunny as usual." always strikes me as odd. I mean, fine, you don't like the comic, but do really have to remind us every time PA is posted?

Personally, I don't go to PA to laugh my ass off. Sometimes I do, but if I chuckle, or smile a little, I feel satisfied. I don't sit there and say to myself "this is gonna suck, this is gonna suck ... yep, that sucked" throughout the whole thing. I just read it and enjoy it. Besides, even if there wasn't a comic, I'd still chuckle throughout Tycho's entire news post.
