    Arrow Penny Arcade TV

    They made a TV show. What were they thinking?

    Think of the children!

    Penny Arcade is one of the sites on my morning coffee list

    Gosh I hate Penny Arcade! :P
    This is a great comic strip that I would not mind seeing a TV show to. :P Pearls is the best strip out there. (Dilbert and Foxtrot closely tying for second of course)
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    As far as pilots go it's pretty well put together. Not bad, overall. It's a bit lacking in direction at times, but it managed to make me laugh at a couple moments

    As for actually watching this as a true TV show? I'm not sure they have the ability to make it something worth watching week after week. BUt hey, it might surprise me.

    If I was into this sort of thing to begin with, I think I'd prefer their podcast because it doesn't take as long to load and lets face it neither of them are attractive females.

    But I prefer to read the strip (and often moreso) the website posts they make.

    I don't like PA.

    Prefer CAD, though I don't follow anything. More like go away for two years, read then go away.

    PA is the only webcomic I still read. About 7-8 years ago I was reading half a dozen every day, but PA was the only one that remained consistently amusing. That said, I won't be watching any 'tv show' of theirs.

    Any TV show where you are forced to view Scott Kurtz should require a warning. No, multiple warnings.

    The comic is great, but the show...?

    Ever read OOTS (Order of the Stick)?

    I don't like PA.

    Prefer CAD,


    Do you prefer imitation soy burgers to beef as well?

    Yep. OOTS, PvP, PA, and CAD were my main ones. OOTS I tended to read in spurts (months at a time) instead of daily. I found it more enjoyable that way.

    PA is going down the same route as CAD, which has been running for I think 2 or 3 seasons now.

    I never really got into PA. I used to really like CAD, but it's not as interesting to me anymore. I don't know if it's changing sense of humor or a change to a more story driven webcomic, or both, but I no longer find it funny.
    "You must know, then, that there are two methods of fight, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second. It is therefore necessary for a prince to know well how to use both the beast and the man.
