Wow, the response to Lookouts has been overwhelming so far. I've got people begging for Lookouts merit badges and a Lookouts patch.

It's part 1 of some seemingly bog-standard twee fantasy bullshit.

yeah, they do these genre things, and even though there's no humour and little story to it all their fans want high res screensavers and avatars from it.
Like honestly if they made "Legend of the Neverwolf" with the protagonist Blacktall Sabretooth in the realm of Infandalrock people would eat that shit up.

dick jokes

visually speaking that is a poorly thought-out last panel.

i do want to not begrudge the PA dudes for wanting to branch out — videogame and/or dick jokes for ten years i think maybe makes you need that
i think part of why it's so irritating to find on the penny arcade comic page is that: well, obviously i. a single, static internet page isn't the optimum way of showing much other than a gag strip panel-cartoon; but mainly ii., penny arcade's function is more like 'videogame criticism + dick jokes' than it is 'fiction with many dick jokes'
so it's a bit like finding the book review page dedicated to the first two-thirds-of-a-page of someone's TV pilot script, is the thing
― thomp, Thursday, 11 June 2009 19:56 (fourteen years ago) link
u wouldnt say that if it was my tv pilot script - it has an effeminate robot!
cant believe u fags read penny arcade 4 shame no 5 shames

i.e. their demographic.
The funniest thing I've ever read by one of the Penny Arcade dudes was when they were talking about Harlan Ellison being rude.

i read it. i kinda share their taste in DS/360 games so they're good for heads ups.comics are um.

I still like their stuff, and Gabe's art skills are better in general, but I do think they've lost a bit of the energy/wit they used to have. Success tends to do that, though. Definitely good enough to stay in my webcomics RSS folder with the other dozens.

HoodedMiracle twitter account contacts Courtney Stanton, demanding proof that she is a rape survivor. When none is forthcoming, HoodedMiracle begins telling others that she lied about it, and that she’s only causing a ruckus to make money on the Dickwolves Survivors Guild t-shirt.
DickWolvington twitter account engages in same.

pretty sure she was involved in last years production of popular local burlesque show "the slutcracker."
people have interests i will never understand, among them burlesque and "gaming conventions," whatever the fuck those are

hahahaha oh Sean you went to the Slutcracker? I was asked to go by two different friends this year but there was just no way.
― ENBB, Thursday, 3 February 2011 04:02 (thirteen years ago) link
eh L and i had talked abt going for a couple years every time we passed the sville theater in december. was basically a satisfying curiosity thing.
i had no idea what to expect but it was weirdly incoherent and i would never go again.
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 3 February 2011 04:04 (thirteen years ago) link
eh its prob like going to a big lan party or competitive gaming event or something - i know a girl who's been to a few PAXes and she loves em, only has one forearm so she cradles the controller against the stump and controls everything w/one hand

S - It's really popular I just feel like it is something that would go horribly wrong irl and be really cringe inducing. I'm just busting yr balls btw. If it were free I probably would have gone with but I wasn't going to pay for it.
