Penny Arcade Makes Time 100

Precision noticed that Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins of Penny Arcade fame have made the Time 100. The writeup talks about Child's Play and PAX and lavishes deserved adoration upon the pair. I've always envied their ability to maintain control over their brand and use it for appropriately portioned good and evil ;)

    I'm a big fan of the brand and PAX, but I really have a hard time finding anything enjoyable about their writing.

    Perhaps 1 out of 10 comics are interesting and most often the writing drones on like I'm reading Moby Dick

    "I scrolled up and down my Steam library yesterday, listlessly, without so much as a remembered thrill; all I wanted to do was play Blur for some reason, something I hadn't picked up in weeks but whose thirsting fronds were reaching up through some mental fissure. After a few rounds to loosen up, quite organically I found myself in a Party discussing the events of the day. The conviviality and natural flow of the conversation began to disintegrate as the race progressed, slowing and then ceasing altogether, like the dwindling reports from a bag of microwave popcorn."

  2. I saw that in their post yesterday by DRAGONWEEZEL · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When they commented that they have a bigger voice than Roger because the last time they checked they where above Oprah on the Time top 100 list.

    I was like "NO WAY!" so I went, did some fact checking, and then voted to put them up to #1!!

    Anyone know if they fixed the massive flaws from last year that allowed 4chan to precisely control the top 21 entries to spell "marblecake also the game"?
