Case of the Mummy's Gold
The fifth Penny Arcade book is out, The Case of the Mummy’s Gold. If you are at all interested in videogames and funny, then you should already own a copy. The book spans the year 2004, which I consider to be the first year of the ongoing golden age of Penny Arcade. The art, the humor, the crazy storylines (e.g. Twisp and Catsby) really came together and created something wonderful. PA had always been funny, this is when they truly started making me laugh with every comic and I became a true fanboy.
Here are some of the gems (including my favorite PA comic ever):
Interact with any significantly large online environment and you will see the following theory in action.
As one who greatly prefers the chill of winter to the heat of summer, “Your star burns!” is practically a catchphrase of mine.
Some context for this, my favorite PA comic. It is set in the game Ninja Gaiden for the XBox. There is a room early in the first level that has several secret doors. When you enter the room, these doors open and out burst several waves of deadly ninjas. The skillful player can dispatch them with ease, leave the room, re-enter the room, and out come more ninjas! If you’re after the ultimate weapon in the game (and you are very patient) then this trick is a great way to make a ton of cash early in the game. No matter how many times you wipe the floor with your extremely dedicated foes, more keep on coming. This comic depicts what surely must be happening behind the scenes.
