>>12142348I agree about DQ. compared to the shit before and after it feels like they made VIII actually good by complete accident
>>12142359zoomer melty
>>12142359I prefer the humble knork
>>12142348>the only good games are all the bad ones!Zoomer contrarianism is so tiresome.
>classic franchise with 1 good game>First example has 3The fuck?
>>12142458adhd has sentenced his brain to incoherent logic...
>>12142348>the only good zelda is OOTGay and wrong. Link's Awakening kicked ass
>>12142348>classic franchise with 1 good gameI can name two. Sonic and Turok.
>>12142809>half the game is pulling up the menu to swap items or waiting for the piece of power/guardian acorn cutscene to end
>>12142348it can't be a classic franchise if it only has one good game
>>12142348The only good Metroid is Super Metroid.
>>12143045and metroid 1. and fusion. and zero mission. and am2r. and dread. and prime 1 although honestly i think of prime as a different series. and prime 2. and probably prime 3 but idk i haven't played it yet.
When did you stop reading Penny Arcade? For me, it was somewhere around the Trump comics
>>12143745Somewhere along the way the art got really ugly and I stopped reading about then.
>>12143745around 2010 after I finished high school. every now and then Ill check on it and the new artstyle is so fucking hideous it makes me gag. but I will maintain early 2000s PA was kino.
>>12143745I stopped before they even got to dickwolves.
>>12143745Penny Arcade has always sucked. Same with CAD. I can barely tell the two apart.
>>12142348imagine having opinions this bad. yikes.
>>12145772The dick wolves thing was pretty mild and would not have even batted an eye had it come out two or three years prior. Just an example of how “woke” consumed everything and everyone that failed to keep up with the times.
>>12146026I agree, I just brought it up as a reference point because I feel like that was basically the peak of PA's popularity and mainstream visibility. Part of why dickwolves was even a controversy had a lot to do with them making typical moderately edgy internet jokes like they always did, but with a huge mainstream pearl-clutching audience to see it and get up in arms over it.
>>12142348Ah, the days when everybody was openly mocking the Xbox controllers for being too big and uncomfortable to hold.
>>12143745I only ever really checked them out for any extended period of time (i.e. went through their existing catalogue of comics and maybe checked their site semi-frequently) around the time of the comic in the OP. After that I'd sporadically check out whatever was the new comic up to about the time the bald and piglike memes were in vogue, and once that ran its course I pretty much lost interest, which coincidentally is when the art style started becoming uglier and uglier.
>>12142359Why are zoomers so bitter and butthurt all the time?
>>12148203They cannot be earnest about anything lest they be considered "cringe", so they hide their opinions behind 7000 layers of irony.
>>12148203Penny Arcade sucks tho, Tycho (Bald)'s cynically verbose dialog can get grating after years. Only certain comics like the Hell Machine have rants that hold up.Also, that poster used a nonsensical deep-fried kermit image, therefore I like his chops and laughed audibly.
Extremely low quality thread. OP deserves to be brapped into oblivion.*BRRRAAAAPPPPP*
>>12148217That's fair, except that comic was made before Bald and Piglike's personalities were cemented into what they are now. Had they made it today, their lines would've been swapped, and Bald would be the one cynically going on about the faults of the game. Not saying it's particularly funny (the joke is Halo has samey boring corridor levels and the Xbox had hueg controllers, but the punchline is some random edgy one-liner that doesn't really follow, though teenage me did think it was funny at the time), just that it doesn't really conform to the style of the later comics.
>>12148226I just mean Mike Whatever, the author behind the comics. Gabe (Piglike) did the art but I've no idea how much of his input determined how far Bald would start writing wank nonsense strings of words like "On a Rainslick Precipice of Darkness"It's cool at the time, then in retrospect it seemed tiresome.
>>12148232Yeah, this comic here is about when I noticed that would be his schtick from there on out.
Remind me which one of the Piggy&Baldie due is an actual schizo who's got a tranny son that tried to kill itself by snipping his dick off with papercraft scissors while at school?
I'll never understand why people were against the size of the xbox. In japan it makes sense, there the rooms are small and things are expected to be close to you. This doesn't get mentioned, but the size and color of the launch ps2 was an issue there as well. In the US though?, no it's just stupid fanboyism.
>>12148371The size was just part of it. Microsoft and Bill Gates were a running joke of the early 2000s with how everybody thought they were going to take over everything.
>>12148371Some people are just fat shamers. True architects enjoyed holding the Duke in their hands.
>>12142348Duke Nukem 3D>>12143745I never liked any of those gamer strips. annoying as fuck and close to the bottom of the barrel for 2000s humor.>>12148326underrated, Purple Pussy was one of a handful that were actually funny
>>12145789for me it's video game dudeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlzKXMHKkDg
>>12148185This is why MS is awesome, they actually listened to the criticism and released a smaller controller. Meanwhile Sony stubbornly stuck with their symmetrical analog stick design despite the horrible ergonomics.
>>12143745Believe it or not, I still check the site every M/W/F. I guess it's just been a part of my daily routine for so many years that I can't avoid it. I've been reading the strip regularly for about 15 years, now. It all went to shit the moment the website changed their background from black to blue, which I believe was November 2012. The new material is really quite unbelievable in how poor it is, but what do you expect from a pair of 50-year-old Xanax-addled goofballs.
>>12142348Ok I get it, its one of these funny contrarian threads.resident evil - resident evil 3metroid - metroid prime 3quake - quake 2doom - doom 3donkey kong country - 3final fantasy - 7 breath of fire - 5diablo - 3
>>12148226>but the punchline is some random edgy one-liner that doesn't really follow, though teenage me did think it was funny at the timeI'm pretty sure the point of it is that pounding a nail through your dick would be more enjoyable than playing Gaylo.
>>12143745Sometime shortly after that Rainslick Precipice of Darkness xbox live arcade game they made. They got married and lame so I stopped paying attention to them.It's insane looking back on the early stuff and seeing how representative they were of that hardcore edgy gamer attitude prevalent of the time and how lame, neutered and gay they are now.>>12148171>>12146026Them backing down from it is when I knew it was over. You don't cave to people like that, you double down, have a followup comic where they talk about even more prisoners being raped and killed by even more dickwolves.
>>12148956It was just a non-sequitur, a dumb one where the joke is like "I would RATHER eat the rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk and down it with beer" but somehow in less funny mental imagery because it's pounding ur dik with a nail. Like chill out, bro. Smoke a joint or something if you hate games so much. It's freakin' Halo, couch co-op no less.It's just morbid "lul so randumb" humor. Edgy. Random.
>>12149056I think it's funnier the more disgusting or violent the alternative is. It's like when you describe a bad smell, you could say something stinks, or you could say it reeks like someone vomited into a burlap sack full of crusty buttholes and threw it into the dumpster behind a fish market during a heat wave, which is funnier.
>>12143745Never particularly liked them, I liked ytp and parodies much more
2000s era PA was kino
>>12149134Next you'll tell me you need bofadeez!
>>12143921Seriously. It almost reminds me of Moon Over June, which you now manually remember.
>>12142348You forgot Jet Set Willy
>>12142348I rember this when it came out. only funny part is the huge dukes
>>12148185except they weren't too big nor too uncomfortable. the abxy needed to be spaced better and made round, that's about it.
