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."

  3. Sometimes a penny is just what it's worth! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Deborah hated to be called in from play for no reason at all. Oh c'mon, mom just give me five
    more minutes, will ya?? she thought to herself while she rolled her eyes up. "Debbie! Debbie!
    Come in, NOW! Do you hear, girl?? DEBORAH JOHNSON!...". Deborah got up and sort of excused
    herself from the playground by kicking over little Billy's meek beginnings of a sand castle.
    She slowly made her way up the driveway and let her twenty-six year old well shaped body
    through the wooden door into the backyard of their home. Debbie was a special girl and she
    knew it. Mentally no further progressed than eleven she had been placed with her mom and her
    step-father, Donnie. Debbie sighed because she knew, today was the day and she would be forced
    to lie down for at least half an hour with her legs raised. She wasn't mistaken. Just as she
    entered the backyard she saw Donnie sitting there with his - she was supposed to call it penis -
    really stiff. "C'mon girl lie down there, it'll be over quick and then you can go back to play"
    Donnie and Mommy couldn't have any children, Debbie was told when they took her to the Judge
    in the city. Debbie knew that that man could send people to jail if he didn't like them so when
    the Judge asked if she was willing to "carry the child to term" and she knew exactly what was asked of
    her she nodded emphatically and said "Yes sir".
    Soon enough Donnie was on top of her and his thing was in her and while he was thrusting Debbie
    smiled as she looked forward to the ice cream she always got in addition to the fact that she
    secretly liked what Donnie did with her because it was so much like what she did to herself
    when they weren't looking.

  4. The funniest thing about penny-arcade EVER is... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The disparity between the characters of the two guys that do it, and their real selves. It's amusing enough to see real pictures of them, one portly baldy manchild and the other a ricket, but then when you see a picture of their girlfriends compared to their drawn characters, THAT'S taking artistic license WAY too far.

    Is this, in the related links section, also part of Taco's new system:

    I would love if you could implement a universal "compare prices" block. whenever I search google for product reviews I always have to use '-"compare prices"' to get useful results. it's the new "generic viagra".

    Would some please mod this comment up? It is the most interesting comment in a discussion on a terribly boring subject that's been up for more than an hour and only has 21 comments to show for it! Thank you!

    You could use a greasemonkey script, searching for all links containing the text compare prices, then removing them.

    I'm no javascript programmer, but it should be able to handle that fairly easily.
