I wouldn’t say that’s homophobic. In the setting this is in, it’s easy to write new students if you want to explore homosexuality or any other concept, so why make a character who has never really seemed gay into a gay person just for the sake of it? Making him ace makes much more sense.

Maybe we’re looking in different places, but from what I’ve seen in these comment sections, the “ugly” art in Penny Arcade is one of the most common complaints people have.

Meanwhile, in the frigid wastes of Alaska, it’s currently 40 degrees and raining, and snow is but a distant memory.

The problem is each strip is normally part of an arc. If you follow it regularly, it makes sense, but if you see some of the strips once a week it loses most of the context. Besides that it, like you said, isn’t a video game comic. The author uses characters from video games for jokes sometimes, but it doesn’t center…

I think that’s the whole point of the title, you can either play the game seriously, fighting for a ‘just cause’ or you can play it like goat simulator, ‘just ‘cause.’

Mostly it’s ongoing storylines of original characters from the comics - currently, several future space marine siblings are doing a sort of friendly hunger games competition. MGDMT isn’t a video game comic, and just happens to have some video game characters that the author likes, so it really doesn’t make sense to…

Post-Secret Wars, Peter Parker has been reincarnated as a globe-trotting business mogul with his alter ego of Spiderman being Peter Parker’s bodyguard.

I agree, don’t want to start any arguments. Thanks for being reasonable.

I haven’t actually played it or seen much about it, but I assume they’re referencing the new Just Cause game. In Just Cause 3, you’re trying to liberate a country from a dictator or something, but I guess the game also has a lot of mechanics which allow you to do things like attach cows to objects. You’re right…

Didn’t they only not run it for one week, when PennyArcade insulted them? It’s not like they have an obligation to post things making fun of them.

I got Wil Wheaton vibes.

No, actually. History diverges from our timeline around 1950, but the nukes don’t fall until 2077.

Yep, the author has said that’s pretty much exactly what it is. That being the case, I’m still not sure why they put it n Sunday Comics.

Sounds very similar to the web serial Twig, in some ways. A world where Frankenstein’s monster was real, and the dead are used as labor. I highly suggest the web serial, it’s still currently being updated, a few chapters a week, and was written by the same guy who wrote Worm, a superhero web serial.

As I understand it, the series is self-contained, so you should be able to start at #1.

At this point it’s more of a podcast. You can watch if you want, but he mostly talks about unrelated things, like answering questions from fans and talking about current events and whatnot.

When my family and I watched it during my childhood, my little sister would make us all be quiet for that shot so she could hear the chimes as the ship passed through the ring.

Isn’t Grow Home AAA, kind of? It’s published by Ubisoft.

It’s establishing a later part of the six-part story, on the PA website. From what I can tell it isn’t supposed to be comedic, but rather one of those serious one-offs PA does every once and a while.

Perhaps I’m wrong, but I generally understand pay-to-win games as requiring that you purchase things to progress in the game. Fallout Shelter, while it does include in-app purchases, can be played and progressed through without spending any money, although perhaps slightly slower.
