I'm certainly not the target audience, as I rarely if ever play video games and when I do, I tend to continue to fixate Penny Arcade: Volume 8: Magical Kids in Danger the same ones for years and years. It's still virtually the only game I play. What is perfect about it is that once you get into the game, there is sometimes up to a minute or so between turns. Which is the perfect amount of time to read a page or two of a I'm not always sure why I read Penny Arcade. Which is the perfect amount of time to read a page or two of a book I'm reading for research, particularly if it's becoming a slog. I realize that this may not make any sense to anyone Penny Arcade: Volume 8: Magical Kids in Danger me, Penny Arcade: Volume 8: Magical Kids in Danger I have been playing this game on a relatively easy setting for over 10 years. You have no idea how many boring books it's helped me slog through. So yeah, not exactly up on the video games. I have some peripheral awareness through my husband and friends. And yet, I still read and enjoy Penny Arcade. I know enough to get the basics of the jokes, if not the specifics. And the sense of humour tickles my funny bone. So I keep reading them. Including this, the collection of all the published in I had fewer laugh-out-loud moments in this volume, but still plenty of chuckles. Anyway, people probably already know whether or not they like Penny Arcade. It's practically an institution. This is a collection of them. They're pretty damn funny, but definitely aimed at a specific audience. Which I am not really a part of, but still manage to hang on by my teeth. But the one comic about a game I have played, Puzzle Quest, made me laugh very hard. View 1 comment. Apr 06, Justin rated it it was amazing Shelves: funnygraphic-novelsvideo-games. Though this volume jumps publishers to Oni Press yay! I was prepared to rate this one lower than the previous two books, as the extra content which is, honestly, the only incentive to spend money on a physical artifact of the comic is extremely slim and almost half-hearted this time around. Despite my burning need for more behind-the- scenes stuff, the comic itself carries this volume to the finish line. The difference between the art on the cover and the art in the book is pretty striking, but the characters are still expressive and I have a soft spot for the bold, hard lines Krahulik was drawing at this point in time. So, once again, this is great for established Penny Arcade fans. The humor is on point, especially considering the prophecies and foibles that emerge due to the original strips being published at the dawn of the current console cycle, six years ago. With the next generation on the horizon, this book makes for a good retrospective. Sep 09, Scott rated it really liked it Shelves: dead-tree.

Readers get to see some of the big happenings in the video gaming world through the lens of Penny Arcade, such as the sacred arrival of the Playstation 3, and more intelligent ridiculing of game companies who profess to know what video gamers are thinking and actually want. Some beloved characters of the comic strip also make their appearances, so readers will not be disappointed with this new volume that, after being read, needs to go on the shelf right next to volumes one through seven.

The comics are fromthe commentary fromand both are reflecting an industry that moves rapidly, so both are often unintentionally humorous just in regards to how things have fallen out since. There aren't any particular standouts in the book, although the Twisp and Catsby bedtime story is pretty good. The rest are standard Penny Arcade; some funny, some timely, some already woefully out of date. But that's t It's interesting to get two different flavors of nostalgia at the same time. But that's the nature of the book, and the commentary is definitely an enjoyable addition to the comics themselves. Good for any fans of the series, but not likely to sway others into becoming one. Jan 20, Michael Nash rated it it was amazing. Penny-Arcade is always a delight. This product is, in essence, a paid-for version of strips you can get for free on the internet, but I've always felt that it was worthwhile to purchase something you can hold in your hands, and for Tycho's commentary. This particular collection also includes some of my favorite strips, from the Penny Arcade: Volume 8: Magical Kids in Danger of the Deep Crow, to the slide forever Portal, to the "Daddy two peepees.

Krahulik and Holkins chose not to enter into a legal battle over whether or not the strip was a protected form of parodyand they complied with the cease-and-desist by replacing it with an image directing their audience to send a letter to a lawyer for American Greetings. In the strip, Gabe suggests that he and Tycho parody a brand not "under constant surveillance", resulting in a spoof of the Rainbow Brite franchise. His refusal was met with disdain, given that multiple games were created or in the process of being created under Thompson's criteria. Thompson proceeded to phone Krahulik, as related by Holkins in the corresponding news post.
