Gabe: The latest episode of Strip Search is live and it’s another great one. I’ve seen some posts on the message board asking to see the artists making more art. Well here you go. When Graham says “it’s time to meet the creators” he really means it. Show More Summary
Gabe: I’m not the crazy Kickstarter that Tycho is. He kicks something new every day. I told him I just don’t have the patience to invest in something cool and then wait months or even a year for it to be real. In fact I’ve only ever kicked two things in my life. Show More Summary
Tycho: It is amazing how long and how energetically we can discuss the unknown. If I were feeling philosophical, and this almost never happens, I would wonder aloud about how fundamentally human that is. The raw energy we dump into the unshaped void. Show More Summary
Ben Kuchera: EA is close to once again “winning” Consumerist’s Worst Company in America poll, and this has again sparked debate over how silly it is that a video game company is even in the running. The decisions that insurance companies make on a daily basis lead to financial ruin, if not death, for many Americans. Show More Summary
New Comic: Perpetuity
Tycho: Because their shit tends not to work at launch, and because by the time it does work I’m typically enamored of some kind of free to play browser strategy nonsense, I stopped picking up most EA titles new. Gabriel won’t be without...Show More Summary
Gabe: The latest Strip Search episode is up and once again we get to see the artists doing what they do best, making art! Don’t forget to subscribe to our new PATV YoutTube channel. It helps us out a great deal and you never know when we will release a video of me talking to ducks for an hour in order to fulfill a ridiculous Kickstarter promise. -Gabe out
Gabe: Considering the today’s comic strip is about golf, this seems like a good time to mention the 2013 Child’s Play Invitational. This year We will be playing at Inglewood Golf Club in Kenmore Wa, rather than down in California. Inglewood is a beautiful course and a great venue for our event. Show More Summary
New Comic: Perennial
Gabe: When we did our Kickstarter last year we thought it would be funny to include a few joke backer rewards. One of them we decided to pull right from this Penny Arcade strip about Kickstarting things. The reward was that I would shout your name while chasing a duck. Show More Summary
Tycho: I asked Gabriel if the Luigi’s Mansion that just came out for the DS had a multiplayer mode, and he didn’t know. I certainly hadn’t read anything to that effect, but games for the original DS had a way of hiding fascinating multiplayer gameplay experiments on the cartridge somewhere for play from a single card.

New Comic: Paraphilia
Gabe: Today’s Strip Search episode is pretty powerful I think. Tycho and I have a policy here at Penny Arcade. It’s to show you everything. Even when it’s embarrassing, or makes us look bad. We share it all with you guys through the comics and everything else we do. Show More Summary
Ben Kuchera: “It’s so hard as an indie without a publisher in another country,” Chris Wilson, the managing director of Grinding Gear Games, tells me over tea at the Game Developers Conference. “When you call someone, the first words out of your mouth have to be ‘don’t hang up, I’m from New Zealand. Show More Summary
Tycho: I have gone into what makes Doctor Who simultaneously so Doctor and so inexpressibly Who before. We have family in town for whom The Doctor and his Blue Box are borderline offensive nonsense, so I haven’t seen the new episode yet. Show More Summary
Gabe: I picked up Monster Hunter for the Wii U and for the 3DS in the hopes that I would finally get into this series. I tried the Wii U version first and got bored pretty much immediately. I clicked through a bunch of tiny text boxes and then got sent out to kill what amounted to a prehistoric cow. Show More Summary
Ben Kuchera: “Not a lot of people know this, but Blizzard started off as a console developer,” Joshua Mosqueira, the lead designer of Diablo 3 on the PlayStation 3, told the Report. We were joined by Julia Humphreys, the senior producer of Blizzard's Diablo 3 team, and, Mathew Berger, senior level designer. Show More Summary
New Comic: How To Turn Time Into Bones
Tycho: Because of the way our kind experiences time, doing what you want to when you want to can be a complex undertaking. For example, I am writing a newspost right now when what’s really needed is for me to play Bioshock Infinite for a super long time. Show More Summary
Gabe: Today’s Strip Search episode is a real doozy. This challenge was about dealing with fans/trolls on Twitter and we brought in guest judge Scott Kurtz to critique the artists on their social media skills. This episode is generating a lot of great discussion in the comments section and on Twitter. Show More Summary
