Latest Comics

The very first Penny Arcade comic came out about five days before the original Ocarina of Time hit the N64. I didn’t actually play much of it back then for a lot of reasons. I was playing a lot of PC games with Jerry at the time. It was also an incredible year for the PlayStation with Gran Turismo, Resident Evil 2, Metal Gear and Tekken 3 all coming out. Also I had to pawn my N64 to pay rent so that made it tricky to keep playing Zelda.  

Zulu's is a real place you can go, technically place(s). Gorb got roped into a Star Trek event by his scions, presumably so he could handle the tab. Magic might be the one thing these boys agree on; one of the key bifurcations between them is that while they both go in for Stars, one prefers Wars while the other prefers Treks. Attempting to shape this conflict has been met with varying degrees of success, provided failure is part of that continuum - near the bottom, I would assume.

HORI made an electronic ocarina for the new Ocarina Of Time Gabe is obsessed with, good luck fuckin' finding one though. It can autoplay the traditional songs, or you can learn to play them yourself, and the game can hear you do it! It also has a headphone jack, which is a profound kindness and might save us a trip to the hospital.

I'm frightened, frankly, at what the environment must be like at Bethesda Softworks - A ZeniMax Company. I wouldn't want to be there. Asha gave Obsidian one of their best toys, and Starfield was essentially a sidequest. I'm a bad Elder Scrolls player, a fake fan; I wash out on stuff like their faces and animations. I always feel like I find something within the first few hours that nobody seems to have cared about at all. A beaky, triangular lip. A line I hear one too many times. For the vast majority of people, those just become memes. For me, it just makes me feel like they double-spaced their homework - a reference almost nobody would get anymore. If you were a million years old also, I promise you this metaphor would hit.
