Penny Arcade Speaks at MIT

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the little-dose-of-humor dept.

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."

      This is all part of Taco's new system, whereby dupes are avoided by delaying the breaking of stories by several months. That way, ScuttleMonkey's short term memory loss won't be an issue!

      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.

  4. Book launch more the point by doctela · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think that the recent launch of the Penny Arcade book, Penny Arcade Volume 1: Attack of the Bacon Robots! is more the point of the article than the transcript of last September's MIT visit.

    It's one thing to take potshots at satirists who have demonstrated they're always up for a fight and often do assholish (but IMO funny) bits in their comics. It's quite another to take shots at their wives. The fact that the above people who did so posted anonymously shows cowardice, though maybe it shows shame as well which would at least indicate the presence of some kind of conscience. In any case, it's completely uncool.
