How about the Filecloud ads they have running?

"Join Filecloud today and get a pair of magical dancing shoes*

"The Gods Must Be Happy, For They Are Delivering Great Shiny Metals To Us Himself!"


" .... His Happiness Is Painful. ..."

Heh. Thanks Warlock. Yeah, I had those feelings too while playing Empire Earth 1. It just didn't... seem.. right. :odd: There were several points when I was in the Nano Age and my opponent was in the pre-Industrial age, .. where I just kinda toyed with them. Often for hours at a time. I feel so sad for opponents who can't reach the higher ages fast enough.

It seems like a lot of companies like their art. Look at how strategy guides or collector edition games now have penny-arcade comics in them.

I do like that ad. :)

I like when Penny Arcade writes comics about video games, and even better when they are games that aren't WoW. Those sure were the days. :mad:

My favorite comics are usually the ones that have nothing to do with games. Like this one...

The VGCats Unreal Tournament 2K4 comic was the greatest one I've seen up there. More than half of the squares were composed of a satire.

There really was yaoi everywhere too, you couldn't turn around without bein node deep in the stuff. Thankfully there was a good amount of Yuri and random Merch to balance it out.

I remember that one. Someone at Suicide Girls mentioned in their profile or something that they liked Metroid and Nintendo sent them that C&D letter. Then apparently Nintendo realized they were being retarded and apologized (edit: I dug the apology up (http://www.boingboing.net/2004/10/28/nintendo_apologizes_.html))

Edit: After reading the news post for that strip, it reminded me of one of the really great ones: "American McGee's Strawberry Shortcake"... that one was a classic:
http://homepage.mac.com/todd_lemoine/.Pictures/pa_ss.gif

I had to dig that off Yahoo since American Greetings got POed at Penny Arcade for the trademark useage and made them take it down. Which is just sad :(

Darth Marsden

Yes it is. Right - time to raise the bar to an almost impossible level. I drew this in about 10 minutes, and you can tell because it's rather crappy (and has my signature on the last frame).

Thanks for the vote of confidence Daarkseid. Maybe I'll do some more. I've got a good one about Bomberman in my head somewhere...

Whaddya mean, 'unfortunately'?Actually, it would be unfortunate because the WB would replace it with something just as bad, or something worse. If that's the case you can expect a blitzkrieg of abject marketing, the likes of which make me shudder.

The only thing in the whole of human existence that could possible be worse then Charmed is anything 'starring' Britney Spears, Mary-Kate & Ashley, Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson. Charmed is watchable, in a bad sort of way. They are not. They may be pretty, but actresses they ain't.

Linkage time! My Bomberman comic. I'd stick it here, but it's pretty long so I'll just make a link to it instead (http://homepages.tesco.net/steveemarsden/Comic/Bomberman.jpg).
