Unreleased Penny Arcade Strip

[Ozymandias]

Not sure if this counts as EA "news", but I just posted (http://ozymandias.com/archive/2006/07/17/Penny-Arcade-Xbox-2-Rumors-Strip.aspx) an unreleased Xbox 2 Rumors strip the Penny Arcade guys did for the Xbox team a few years ago. It's actually pretty funny and has some of the best inking I've seen from Gabe in a long time. Worth checking out if you're curious about the pre-history of "Xenon", or the Xbox 360.

The inking looks the same as the rest of his comics from the last couple of years.
Do you mean the coloring?
The inking is just the black lines... in case you're mixed up.

Thanks for posting, and nice blog btw, you need to state your opinons more on here.

Maybe he is confused because its blown up to a huge resolution so it looks better than it actually is.

Just incase you didnt know all comics (all REAL comics) are inked at huge resolutions so that when they shrink it a lot of the mistakes are hidden and dont reduce.

What a great piece of work! Glad that it finally gets to see the light of day.

Sorry, you're right... coloring is what I was referring to. Thanks for clarifying!

That's nice. Now I'm gonna go pound a nail through my dick.

Very hillarious stuff. :)

Post the video on Youtube, I'd love to watch.

Very funny. Rumors 3 & 4 were the best. :D

Awesome. The concept of the founding fathers playing on Live is hilarious. I wonder if John Gabriel's Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19) would apply to them. It would be entertaining to find out.

Needs more lens flare.

Great stuff. Thanks for releasing this to the public!

[Spigot]

Ah, nothing makes my day more than an unexpected Penny Arcade strip. Thanks!

That thing applies to everyone on live, ever. I hear when you log on to live for the first time, everyone whom you have ever interacted with reconsiders your actions in a negative light.

The strip is funny, but "alejandro villaseñor" is NOT a brazillian name. at all. "Alessandro" would be better... "Alexandre" even more so.

but the strip is awesome, eheheh.

The Duke is the greatest gamepad to grace the industry.
If someone makes a wireless duke for the 360, I'll buy a dozen.

[SexualChoc]

Very nice. I would say 3 and 4 were the best.

ahh, come on. I spent two years in Brazil....while alejandro certainly isn't portuguese, it wouldn't surprise me to find a brazil with a name like that - there's lots of crossover in certain parts of brazil.

Server down...and I want to read it so bad!

[Talanvor]

I was expecting Spanklin to say something like, "Suck it, bitch!". Ah well.

Needs more lens flare.
Too much bloom.

Well, maybe... people make up some pretty weird names, around here. Like Uoxton. (should be pronounced like Washington).
I was making fun of the strip anyway. :) I liked the joke.
