Same that's the edited version
yes
>>341208712
Why? What are they like now?
>>341208712
I never kinda liked them, then again i liked sprite web comics and fucking VGcats. Thankfuly i can just pretend 2003 never happened, like i do with 1983.
>>341209602
this isn't edited, it's right from their website as published

>>341209720
The was pretty funny anon. Can you actually find something that might be considered bad?
I miss when Gabe didn't always have bulging buck teeth and when they didnt use really ugly shading
>>341209720
Buck teeth looks weird.
>>341209720
Oh...
Oh.

>>341210009
>>341209980
It's been quite a journey watching Piglike's art through the years.
Like a bellshape-curve, it got exponentially better for a while there, and in recent years it has gone to complete shit.
The worst part is that this is a style is actively trying to achieve. It's not an accident, it's a deliberate style choice on his part. Thankfully, it looks like he finally dropped the red nose bullshit. That was retarded
>>341210187
>mulatto children are squids
Holy fuck, it all makes sense.
>>341210150
I'm pretty sure that joke has been on TBBT at least 3 times
so wheres the funny strips? Isnt this suppose to be a thread to post strips from when they were "actually funny"
Anybody ever play WoW with them?
>>341210287
By which I mean it's good that it's an edit because it's not consistent with the concept.
>>341210187
See, if that was 2 same race parents the comic would have 0 value to anyone but by making the simple move of racemixing you make it a Statement. Now it's a profound IDEA. It's going to make the world Better,
>>341210187
I'm sorry. I really do not see the joke
>>341210067
they actually did that joke eight years before the tomahawk comic

>>341210723
Art can change a lot in 5 years. Hope they do another retrospective soon, see how fucking bad it's gotten and feel ashamed.
>>341210723
Late 2004-2007 was the sweet spot. Also my best memories of them because I finished high square in the middle of that just about.

>>341211114
I think its amazing that Law & order gg episode was written by Dick Wolf.
>>341211114
Still so unbelievable that this, of all things, is what started to do them in.
Is there an article or archive detailing everything that happened with that? I'd like to relive the cringe
>>341211114
Just make me angry to think about how they buckled in that situation
>>341211302
Also surprised I have seen any edits of this one that came out a few days back.
>>341211114
Yep, that was painful to watch unfold in real time.
>>341210610
It could be worse if there was a cute girl you'd crushed on sitting in the armchair.
>>341211436

>>341211341
Dick didn't write it, he's just the executive producer of Law & Order.
>>341210401
if you think he even draws ot anymore you're deluded
they probably pay some art school grad minimum wage to try to replicate his style

>>341210376
its one of his spin-off "feel good" comics. kinda dramatic, but good if you're into that kind of thing.
>>341209923
Fucking geniuses.
>>341212106
This is exactly why I wish I could live my life over with my old memories. Or at least the mind of an adult... I could probably do without the memories.
>>341209287
thats the edited one. the original has blood and the gun went bang
>>341211436
Well that would require there to be at least one person who still reads Penny Arcade
they had a pretty good one recently
too bad they followed this up with "TO REDDIT"
>>341211971
I was thinking about this the other day, when this always online thing started to rear it's ugly head i was just as clueless why it was causing such a shitstorm but just because i was a bumbling console pleb, the writter of this shit had no excuse.
>>341212339
I don't see how you got that. It clearly has the part where they say "If you don't want an online only game, you are a nazi like hitler" and then it has the hypocrite saying his game he wants to enjoy single player won't let him play because of internet issues.
See? Because he COULD play it if it wasn't online only. That's the point. I don't need an internet connection for Diablo I or II.
>>341210675
Fucking based.
>>341211114
They didn't go "full SJW" but they lost their edge.
The comic itself was already dying- real life shit like one of their kids being seriously ill (I think Tycho's?) probably drained any humor he had left in him.
>>341212547
Why would you want to suffer the loss of freedom and live with your parents again?
>>341212547
God should patch new game + into real life.

C'mon, man. You couldn't tell that was a shoop y looking at some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shoops in your time?

>offended
but not. I'm mad about single player games being online only. If you equate being mad with being offended, you need to learn what words mean before using them. It's a little better that the issue with single player online games affected him, but I don't think he ever had that moment of realization "Oooh, that's why it's a bad practice. I get it. I was wrong."

Which is extremely rich comming from you.
So I understand his fucking style being shit. Despite being better at drawing the comic looks the shittiest it's ever been because he loves the fucking tumblr shit. That much I understand. But why the fucking hell does almost every single new comic have the most horrible fucking filters put on it? It looks like pure fucking trash. Is it like those instagram filters I've heard so much about? Is that what this is?
>>341211391
>>341211413
how did this 'do them in' or could be perceived as buckling? the fact that this exists says to me that they continued to banter the fuck out of the situation, along with >>341210675

They started toning their shit down a little after the whole fiasco because they probably realised just how bad their attitude was for their business. If you see them talk at PAX you can see they still have a lot of hate for various people, they just keep it to themselves in order to keep up corporate appearances.
LOLthis is not an edit

the joke is that the characters are awful, slobbish, selfish people eternally on the verge of murdering someone.

I fucking hate this trend. I don't who started the "people are only upset with ME3 because they wanted a happy ending!" bullshit, but it needs to go away.

>>341219581

>>341219581
That's..thta one guy. I forget his name, but he was a real nerd who used iMacs (really? mine's grape) early on but then got cool once Apple got huge.

Not the guy you were talking to, but maybe it's just a nice portrait of a family facing tragedy? At any rate, if your only interpretation of that arc is "race mixing propaganda," then 4chan has seriously begun to rot your brain.
>>341219995

There is literally nothing wrong with Trump. White guys ran this country fine for 50 years.

>There is literally nothing wrong with Trump
You can say there's nothing wrong with his policies all you want, but I'll be damned if anyone is going to defend his hair.
>>341215267
That was adding to it, not buckling. Like, "eeey you fucked up, apologize" and then they make a super sassy and not particularly heartfelt joke of an apology.
The actual buckling seemed to be mostly because they got threats to their families. I don't think they'd care if they were still single, but they are like, 30+ with wives and children.

>>341220562
>threats to their families
well that's pretty fucked up. do these internet feminists not realize they are literal nazis? I wouldn't really call that buckling though, I'd probably tone it down too. I dare say they did their due diligence up to that point as far as telling off the legbeards.

It was a joke you spaz. Lighten up.

how is it bad for business? the overwhelming majority of their fans agreed with them 100%.

lol, what? it was never hate. it was at worst sneering disregard.
How serious Tycho gets, and how not-serious Gabe is. I just really like the writer sometimes. When he's on, he's really on.
>>341220750
that's a yes.

Cunts
>>341220965
I mean, why would anyone act responsibly/sanely on the internet? We all know that's for losers.
I think they did wind up getting some letters from PAX-type fans who said dickwolves made them feel uncomfortable, and they did end up going "well, you don't have to read our comic if you don't want to, but the expos are supposed to be a thing for all gamers everywhere; I guess we can try and tone it down at our cons if it makes people happier", and that was perceived as Bad by both sides of course.
But what the hell, I still quite like them, so I'm probably in a minority.

I remember people saying that they wouldn't feel comfortable going to PAX anymore because they felt like they were going to be raped, and people also started talking about not donating to the charity that they started. After that they started apologizing because they didn't want to fuck up PAX and Child's Play.

I probably wouldn't want those people at my event anyway, they sound unstable and dangerous from a PR perspective. it's a fucking cartoon for christ's sake
>>341221898
Wasn't it just Dave Mirra with titty skins?
