News Post: Pitchin’
http://penny-arcade.com/2012/05/30/pitchin
Tycho: Have you ever seen Art & Copy? It’s by the rad guy who did Scratch and a bunch of other awesome shit. It’s a documentary which is about Advertising, which is to say that it is about Mercenary Communication, which people have varying opinions about. My feeling is that once we are aware of its ubiquity, we may study it with greater safety; loss of containment is always a concern, but I find these weaponized memes fascinating beyond belief. The Pitch is an AMC show which transforms that documentary’s texture into a competition-style program. Having a better product is, |

News Post: The Reubens
http://penny-arcade.com/2012/05/29/the-reubens
Gabe: This past weekend we attended the Reubens down in Las Vegas. Tycho could not make it but I went down with Robert and our ladies to see what it was all about. On Friday the girls hung out on the strip while Robert and I went to check out the panels. The first one we walked into was something like “how I got two million dollars in free advertising!” Robert and I sat down and almost immediately we were uncomfortable. I’m not going to say the guy’s name because the entire focus of his talk was how he is able |

News Post: Child’s Play Golf Tournament
http://penny-arcade.com/2012/05/28/childs-play-golf-tournament3
Gabe: This is just a heads up that Wednesday is the last day to sign up for our Child’s Play Charity golf tournament. We’ll be playing golf on June 8th at the Angeles National golf course in Sunland Ca. This is actually the Friday after E3 so if you happen to be down there already the course is not too far away. We still have some spots available. You can check out this site for all the details. We’ll have golf, food, prizes and a bouncy castle. One of those was a lie. You’ll have to come to the tournament |

News Post: Further Disruptions
http://penny-arcade.com/2012/05/28/further-disruptions
Tycho: John Carmack’s bit about game stories, which are often porn stories, was controversial in the way that true things tend to be. It isn’t always this way, and it doesn’t have to be, but it often is. Globetrotting military shooters illustrate this maxim fairly well: it might help, next time you are embroiled in one, to assign archetypes like Pizza Boy or Lecherous Mechanic to your various pawns. It’s not meant to be caustic, it’s simply observable. As a generality “good” stories are additive and “extant” stories are expected; it’s possible to lose on that axis but there have to be |

News Post: Disruptive Technology
http://penny-arcade.com/2012/05/25/disruptive-technology
Tycho: Whenever we come up with something dumb, something that’s supposed to be a joke like the game in the strip, a lot of times it starts to grow on me. I don’t know! I think there’s a lot of headroom there. I do have a Kickstarter problem, though, and it may require a technology a sophisticated as Gabriel’s to bring this irresistible drive to its conclusion. Part of it is that… yeah. Right? Arimaa is cool, and a beautiful set that honors Arimaa is wanty, that is to say, it generates want. I think that I could elaborate |

News Post: The Foxtrot Papa Of Bravo Alpha
http://penny-arcade.com/2012/05/23/the-foxtrot-papa-of-bravo-alpha
Tycho: We’d only played about ten minutes of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier when we wrote the comic, but it was enough time for someone to ask me What The Situation Was, and whenever they do that this is always the conversation I hear in my head. It’s ineluctable. I have to say the whole thing out loud, too. If I don’t say it out loud, things begin to thicken up there. I can feel the words forming a clot in my brain. Splinter Cell: Conviction is one of my favorite games, and I only know a couple people who agree with that |

News Post: Incredulity
http://penny-arcade.com/2012/05/21/incredulity
Tycho: Now that you can play Diablo III, you probably should. Sometimes you won’t know if there is a problem with your computer or a problem with Blizzard or a problem with The Internet, that happens, but you can often click on things and then things will come out of the things, which is something all sentients deeply crave. Deckard “Stay Awhile” Cain has an adopted niece this time around, and she grumps around in disbelief at her kooky uncle even when she is up to her philtrum in demonic, animate flesh. This doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. |

News Post: Push Fight!
http://penny-arcade.com/2012/05/18/push-fight
Tycho: Ben wrote up an article on the game already, which I think you might enjoy. But of my favorite things about it is the incredibly genuine person behind it. Watch this YouTube video, clearly converted from VHS or something, where he teaches you how to play his game. (CW)TB |
