Penny-Arcade Videogame Announced
MaryAlan writes "Penny-Arcade has announced that they're going to be making a game, partnering with Hothead games to create titles featuring the characters of the comic. The games will be released in episodes several times a year, digitally downloaded, and will play on Windows, OS X, and Linux, with an eye on consoles somewhere down the road. The first game is to be called Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness. There's also talk of the possibility they'll be released on Steam." From the Kotaku article: "'We're really excited to be working with Hothead Games on our first electronic adventure,' said writer Jerry 'Tycho' Holkins. 'From the moment we laid eyes on them, it was clear they had the technical and creative chops to execute our grim vision. Now that we have pooled our strengths, our dark work may truly begin.'" Yay! Dark works!
Wait, no. No, get it away. Ahhh, stop that! Can't get image out of my head. Must drill brain out!
God spoke to me.
There will finally be a new game release which Gabe and Tycho won't bitch about.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
I'll buy it but ONLY if this speech is in the intro http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/04/10.

They just had a story arc which screams for a cheap shoot-em-up.
I do agree that unlocking the FF2000 character should be a priority or epic proportions.

since 6/20/06 that is. They made 4/5, 4/12/ 4/20, got me hooked, then made 6/20 then nothing. ALmost like they are operating on some sort of Log scale.....
my girlfriend/wife and I had sex regularly for more than 7 years. Doesn't mean that it continued like that :) Past performance isn't always an indicator of future returns......
Digitally downloaded? I was hoping to grab it through my analog connection.
Well you'd better buy a flashlight...I mean...who knows what the sun's gonna do tomorrow morning!

Don't they always abuse the mythical Mac gamers? I can see the ending of each episode...
"Congrats on beating the game! You still smell like patchouli!!"

I hear Jack Thompson will make a guest appearance as a Mac gamer...
As opposed to Dork Warks, the sounds uttered by socially inept chocobos.

How on earth can the first Penny-Arcade video game not be called Wang Commander?
I mean, it practically writes itself.
