Gabe: I will usually mention new items when they pop up in the store but I try not to make big buy our stuff posts more than once or twice a year. I made my big Cyber Monday post yesterday and forgot to point out the promotion we had going on. So if you hit the store yesterday you were able to ...

Gabe: Happy Cyber Monday everyone. I'm told that you guys will be buying all kinds of stuff online today. It just so happens that I sell things online. Maybe we can work something out? It's getting colder everyday. Do you have a cozy fleece Merch/fleshreaper hat to keep your warm? Did you enjoy ...

Tycho: There is a build in Modern Warfare 2 - Tactical Knife, Commando, Marathon, and Lightweight - that we have taken to calling the Witch. They are so called because this nefarious combination results in half-human abominations that can a) run faster than normal, forever, b) fall without ...

Gabe: We've been talking about First Party for a long time and yesterday the site finally went live. We love making T-shirts and we have no intention of stopping, but not everyone can, or wants to wear T-shirts all the time. Some of you might work in an office during the day or maybe you just ...

Gabe: If my life was a newspaper you could say that these two comics were "ripped from the headlines". I still have flash backs about my time at Toys R Us and Circuit City. I saw grown women get into fist fights over Tickle Me Elmo. I was cursed out on Christmas Eve for not having Holiday Barbie ...

Tycho: Here's the second (and final) strip retelling Gabriel's harrowing past as a retail aggressor. I hope the writing process for this strip makes it into the show at some point, or at any rate that it is at the very least revealed, because he lays the whole scenario bare. These dark visions ...

Gabe: The Child's Play charity dinner and auction is coming up on December 8th and we only have 45 tickets left. If you'd like to attend you should hit the Child's Play site right away and pick up your tickets. This is always and amazing night and obviously it's for a very good cause. We'll ...

Tycho: I tend not to reveal my deepest hopes, lest they be stolen from me by the universe. Now, on the cusp of its realization, perhaps I am allowed: I do indulge in the occasional fantasy. Let me show you them. It was my hope that, this year, the Desert Bus crew would be able to top ...

Tycho: Gabriel still gets the shivers when entering the Holiday Retail environment, as shellshocked memories begin to leach from his brain. He is gripped by a kind of solidarity with the drudges who stock the infinite shelves, in whose ears splendid carols are warped into the crushed and ...

Gabe: I have exciting news to share! A while back we talked about a reality show based on life here at Penny Arcade. It was just something we kicked around during a podcast but the idea stuck with us. We kept getting mail from people saying that this was actually something they'd be interested ...

Tycho: In the same way that professional skateboarders can approach Tony Hawk Ride and extract something resembling a game, people who are Italian are in a position to discern the dialogue and plot of Assassin's Creed II without resorting to deep menus or taking copious notes. This is what ...

Tycho: The exact total is $542,107.01 - a jump of just over eighty-six thousand over last week's figure. We'll take it, certainly. But I warn you: my palm is poised over the knob labeled Stirring Rhetoric. I can crank this mode like you would not believe. Act ...

Tycho: New Super Mario Brothers Wii is marriage poison. I wouldn't play this game with any person you want to see again. In its multiplayer interpretation, which I suggest be referred to as "Divorce Mode," choreographing your platform jumps in a way that does not interfere with another person's ...

Gabe: I was very excited about Gyromancer and I decided to grab it on the PC since I saw it right there in Steam when I went to play Torchlight. I remember now why I quit playing games on the PC. I installed the game game but when I tried to launch it would fail. I got some ambiguous error ...

Tycho: I have to say that we found DJ Hero quite interesting, actually. I understand that it didn't sell particularly well, but that's never been an especially valid barometer of aesthetics. It's significant to me that the music you're playing in the game is new, purpose-built material. ...
