Title: Penny Arcade on Prince of Persia 2: Warrior Within

Ok, some of you don't like PA, that's fine. I really don't fucking care, because I found today's funny.

PA comic on Prince of Persia 2 (http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2004-12-03).

My favorite part is now going to become an addition to my sig line. "I seethe with generic rage." I'm digging it.

I'm sure your mind was clouded with porn at the time. Completely understandable.

I found it funny. Hell it's one of thoose rare gems where you don't actually have to read their blog of the day just to get where they're comming from.

The guy in the last panel made alot more sense when I realized they were from Prince of Persia 2: Warrior Within, and that the main character was generically bland.

But the "Time Bitch"s monologue was freekin' hilarious, even without him.

In response to the frequent complaint that the comic makes no sense without the newspost, I heartily recommend actually reading the newsposts.  That monologue is very similar to the ranting that Tycho does every day as a matter of course.  It's usually funnier than the strip itself.

Tycho's daily ranting got old in 2002.

Edit: I should back that up. He's recommended a handful of games that turned out to be total ass. Most recently, Transformers. To which I say - whore.

Finding his rants humorous and actually trusting his judgement on video-games are two different things.

Much like the posts on this site.

No. You signed a contract when you joined. All of our opinions are truth.

Tycho is overly verbose, Gabe writes like a middle schooler, it's like an act or something.

But without monkeys.

Actually, sometimes they have monkeys too.

The generic rage line was great, and SO Penny Arcade.

I actually dig Tycho's overly verbose style. I would, though.

AND YOU WILL BELIEVE EVERY WORD WE SAY!

Been reading PA as long as I can remember.

Love it to death, but I do find my self reading out of habit more than entertainment sometimes.

Oh, and Schild, don't ever buy a game based entirely on their recommendation.  I got burnt twice and now I might rent something they mention.  Damn you Sega Soccer Slam, damn you to hell!

You know, I looked back over the comics the last few weeks, and didn't see a single one that needed you to read the front page to make sense of it (the twisp and cadsby ones don't make sense if you read the front page either).  I have been reading PA for awhile, and am use to them doing comics like that, but quite frankly I think they are an exception and not the rule.  Don't know why everybody harks on them for that, as I only see them rarely (and they usually ARE funny half the time when they do).

Tycho's problem is he forgets that some games are only worth playing when they're free. Sega Soccer Slam is one of those games.
