Read Penny Arcade, video game referencing webcomics
Penny Arcade is a webcomic focused on video games and video game culture, written by Jerry Holkins and illustrated by Mike Krahulik. The strip features Krahulik and Holkins' cartoon alter egos, John "Gabe" Gabriel and Tycho Brahe, respectively. Their characters spend much of the time playing and commenting on computer and video games, which forms much of the basis of the humor in the strip. As mostly a topical video gaming news comic series, there is little plot or general continuity in Penny Arcade strips, and strips are typically drawn from the perspective of fictional characters within a game or movie.

Fire In The Hole
I've been trying to have a beer with Kim Swift for about five years now, and it finally happened. She suggested The Bine up in Bothell, and you should draft on that suggestion. I'm afraid I made a pun there without meaning to. But it's also real close to Zulu's, a place you might want to be anyway. Anywhoozle,

Unc Tier
Because Gabriel does not share my Word Disease, depriving him of vital tools for living, the callow young were able to scourge him mostly unawares. In contrast, I'm lowkenuinely bricked up. Actually, hang on. I might have to do a couple searches.

Fear not - the grim spectre of continuity will not long darken our doorway. In fact, continuity just put on its hat and coat and is even now walking out the door. Good riddance! Hope that's the last we see of him for a while. But Pokopia is from the team that co-did Dragon Quest Builders 2, which is a game that bored

Vox Watchina
I installed Overwatch so I could look at all the cool art and new shit, but I haven't - in the manner of a dope emcee - gone hard. Because we must always be maximally opposite at all times, he is joining some back-alley offshoot of the old Overwatch League. At least, I assume. Certainly he's playing enough to experience the fluttering ups and downs of the backend - occasionally being

I had sent Murgh an image on his phone, which... I mean, I guess I can just show it to you. It's gonna make a lot of sense when you see the strip:

Lynx Club (For Child's Play!)
We are occasionally exposed to Mysterious Benefactors, ones who materialize out of a vapour or maybe get dressed up all fancy-like and come to a Child's Play Dinner. People can purchase an appearance in a strip, which is funny, because generally speaking - given the era - people would have spent money to not appear in one, especially around launch. Weirdly, that's essentially

Royally Flushed
Reeking cryptids Skunkape Games, not content to merely exhume the Sam & Max classics, have now turned their profane, necrophile lust toward the beloved Poker Night At The Inventory. Inexplicably, my alter ego is featured in this game and continues to be even after these warlocks completed their dark ritual. But we love to challenge the reader
