A Good Laugh January 8, 2008
DJ Psolyx (New York)
These short comic strips from Penny Arcade are a good laugh. The content on the strips are more based on videogames but they make refrence to almost everything else besides games. So you must have knowledge of the past to enjoy this book and its jokes. They make a alot of strips based on the Dreamcast so is you know your Dreamcast history, you'll have a good laugh. Halfway through the book the animation of the main characters change so they look better and the strips get even funnier.

I've been an avid PA reader since nigh on 2000 can't recall the actual date I got hooked on it, but I have to say that the way it is written and illustrated had me from the start. br / br /The humor sometimes borders on crude remarks, yet it is direct to the point, which is why I believe it has been so successful. br / br /Their remarks center around video games and the video game industry, but overall, they embark on a flurry of comments that go through the whole spectrum and not just games. br / br /The illustrations have evolved through the ages, and right now you have the chance of reviewing these original drawings, on paper!! br / br /Personally I just had to have this, but others may find that it is simpler to go online and Check the Penny Arcade Archives, having read them for the last 7 years or so, I found that I wanted to be able to review them offline as well, in the comfort of a la-z boy, and without the permanent glow of radiation from my monitor; YMMV.
If you love Penny Arcade, this is like a treasure trove March 9, 2007
Brett Scheuermann (NJ)
True, Penny Arcade is viewable for free on the internet, but with this book, you get insight into the brilliant mind of Jerry Holkins with each comic. If there was anything you didn't really understand and there is no archived news post available, he will explain it in a helpful and very humorous way. A great purchase, as is "Epic Legends of the Magic Sword Kings" and "The Warsun Prophecies."
