Penny Arcade Announces Scholarship

Posted by Zonk on from the world-on-their-backs dept.

hapwned writes "Jerry 'Tycho Brahe' Holkins and Mike 'Jonathan Gabriel Gabe' Krahulik of Penny Arcade gave an interview to Shannon Drake of the Escapist about their charity Child's Play. In the piece, they reveal the first hint of their next endeavor: 'Talk of crazy ideas and the future brings us to their next enterprise, which is still hazy, but very exciting all the same. Right now, they're throwing around the idea of a Penny Arcade Scholarship, which should debut this year.'"

    I wonder what the scholarship requires in order to get it. Highscores? Maybe a very high CPL rating in either of Counterstrike Source or Quake III ?

    I really hope it's called the JuiceFucker 2000 Scholarship.

      One has to ask, did you say juicefucker to insight the penny arcade hordes or was it a slip of the keyboard brought on by speedy typing? Fruit is awfully close to Juice on my keyboard, but that might just be from eating lunch at my desk.

      not trying to start a flame war, just trying to funny in an AC kind of way.

      Yup. Hit the wrong key. Why'd they hafta put the 'fruit' key so close to the 'juice' key? Damn Microsoft, with their crappy pictokeyboard...
