PA now has a reality TV show: http://www.penny-arcade.com/patv/


more like Bunsen Hunneydew and Beaker video blog with PAX promos and Ubisoft Ads.  But whatever.

edit: ScottK has really grown  :ye_gods:

I was surprised at how much I liked this.  A PA "reality show" seemed like a bad idea initially, but I found myself wanting to watch more.  Maybe it's just made well.

Where is the asian guy and the guy with the full head of blonde hair?

They will be in the animated series: Penny Arcade: Clone Wars.

That was actually watchable, except that I hate watching videos on my computer.

Unless it's porn.

For up to 180 seconds at a time.

 :uhrr: :ye_gods: :grin:

Sort of reminds me of the pilot they did with Yahtzee, which was terrible.

I know too much about you now.

That was shit, but bearable. Yahtzee's recent DC road trip was dire. I kept watching it, hoping for something entertaining to happen or be said. Until i turned it off.

Oh, that wasn't what I was talking about. He did an actual TV show pilot called Game Damage and it was horrifically bad.

I'm kinda hoping that Charlie Brooker's Gameswipe one-off gets picked up.

It pretty much covered it all in one go though...

I can't get past his lower front teeth.

Edit: Actually, it's mildly entertaining. Of course, I listen to TV shows passively while I work.

I like these.  It's pretty interesting to see their process and the dudes can be pretty funny.  I don't know how many eps they can squeeze out of this but as a long time fan of their comic I'm entertained.

I agree a bit of a Euro take on dentistry.   Orthodontists are the devil and all.


These guys are far more interesting to watch/listen to than I ever would have guessed.

You should grab all the podcasts. If you've got an ipod or whatever you can subscribe and get all the old ones, easy. I think there are about 30 or so, most of them are quite good.

Pretty much off topic, but has anyone played those games? Are they good? I don't keep up with PA, but the games look like old school adventure, which might appeal to me. There isn't anything else downloadable like that (on PSN, I mean).

I downloaded the demos ages ago on XBLA, but haven't tried them yet. try the demos?

If you generally dig PA, you will probably like them. The combat mechanics are a bit rougher in the first, but there's nothing like beating the fuck out of a Fruit Fucker with a rake. The writing  is top notch( for PA ), and the visuals are great. I played the hell out of them.

I think they're funny, but I don't keep up with them. Not enough story based downloadable games though if you know what I mean, so if it's good, I'll keep it in mind.
