Well go on you lazy son of a bitch, explain the Goddamned story!

I just have a quick update for Club PA members this month. October's gift will be sent out at the end of the month rather than the middle. I'm sorry for the delay but I think it will be worth it. This month's Club PA gift is nothing less than the first two pages of Over Easy. That's right, Penny Arcade's long rumored much anticipated Hong Kong action…um…extravaganza arrives this month. The plan is to continue releasing a page a month for Club PA members until the story is finished. How long will that be? We have no idea right now. Here is just a tiny snippet from one of the pages:

They do!

They don't.

In Evil Avatar's forum thread for Clone Wars, I saw something very interesting: a link to another forum thread.

Watching the most recent trailer for Devil May Cry 2 made us want to make a comic about it. So, there you go. Some things to keep in mind.

I'm just glad Tina Turner finally got her own game.

Apparently the Xbox game BC from Lionhead Studios is a rich and detailed dinosaur fucking simulation. I can't wait!

While I appreciate the fact that so many of you are mailing me and stating that you agree with my statements regarding KH I think you missed the point of my post. I do not hate the game because it is a mixture of Square and Disney characters like so many of you seem to think. In fact that was what originally attracted me to the game! So please don’t send me any more of your retarded Final Fantasy fan boy e-mails about how you can’t believe Square would make a game with Disney characters in it. I also don’t want to hear about how pissed you are that Sephiroth was voiced by what’s his name from IN SINC. The game sucks because it is a bad game with bad controls and bad level design. The concept, voice acting and presentation are all fantastic.

Thank you for calling Gabe on that, as it saved me having to do it. He's out of control. Waiter! More wine!

People are asking me why I liked the Import version of KH and not the US version. The Land of the Rising Fun is about my impressions of a game. Sometimes the games I get are so jam packed with Japanese that all I'm able to offer are my impressions of it because I either have no clue what's going on or I can't get very far. Other times the games are almost entirely in English and I can give a more detailed review, like in the case of Tekken 4 or KOF 2000. What I saw of KH in the import version was pretty cool. The graphics are great and the combat starts out being pretty fun. I honestly didn't play enough of it to get to the bad stuff. So yes, my initial impressions of KH were that it was going to be a great game. Needless to say I was pretty fucking disappointed. If I make a mistake I am the first person to come out and admit it. I was way off base with my initial thoughts on KH.

I'm going to fucking edify you whether you like it or not. These aren't particularly game-related.

You may not know this but Penny Arcade is actually translated into Spanish. Check out Juegos Online.

Yes it's true, I think Kingdom Hearts is complete shit. I purchased it because Kara is a big Disney fan and I was hoping it would be something we could play together. Early in the game Kara got frustrated with the jumping and passed the controller off to me. At first I tried to enjoy it, but that just wasn't going to happen. So then I looked at it like a job. I knew it wasn't going to be fun but I had to finish this game. That lasted for about five or six hours. Eventually it was everything I could do not to break the game in half and throw it in the garbage.

Perhaps Lord Gabriel will grace us with an audience later today, and detail for us why he has broken ranks on the critical Kingdom Hearts issue. Don't ask me though, because I don't know. He might have said why at some point, but he doesn't really enunciate. Half the time he talks it sounds like he's chewing on a superball.

Penny Arcade enthusiast Neil contacted me recently and informed me of a little program he made. It's called P.A.I.N.T which stands for Penny Arcade Internet Notification Tool. It's a little program that sits in your tray and alerts you when Penny Arcade gets updated. Since Tycho and I have been making more posts recently and at strange times it seemed like a cool idea. Anyway Neil needs your help. He needs someone who can design some icons for the program. Neil says "they should be 16x16 icons in 256 colors, something instantly recognizable as penny-arcade without squinting." If this sounds like something you can do you can e-mail him at paint@neilogic.com
