Penny Arcade Speaks at MIT

An anonymous reader writes "Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade recently gave a talk at MIT. One attendee recorded the event and has made available a transcript of the talk, in which the guys talk about the comic and various related topics. The Penny Arcade crew always puts on a good show with their own brand of witty humor and disarming personalities and this is certainly no exception. If you have never seen them talk in person it may lose a little in the translation from speech to text, but still a funny read in any case."

...back in September. So in other words, just about forever ago.

  The talk was a long while ago, but the guy that did the transcript only just put it up. It was mentioned on PA late last week, so /. isn't that late.

  PA did speak back in september, but the transcript was just recently released. One of the students there at MIT recorded the event and spent hours of his time transcribing it on his own, in his own free time.

Associated comic. Happened a long time ago.

Links to pictures:

"Tycho" (a.k.a. Jerry Holkins)

"Gabe" (a.k.a. Mike Krahulik)

Couldn't find pictures of better halves though.

Tycho really DOES talk like that... by Johnny+Sailor · 2006-01-24 00:48 · Score: 2, Informative

Wow, so Tycho really speaks like that in real life. I figured he sat there writing his post with a thesaurus website opened up in the background!
