Same here Mizzy. I don’t always agree with Penny Arcade’s humor, I’ve noticed.

Penny arcade is rather mediocre in my opinion this is a good example why.

Tough crowd!

I mainly posted this as it seemed like the perfect follow-up to the last article with the title I used. I’ve seen all the GH: Decades commercials and found them more than a little lackluster so I appreciated it from the perspective as well. Clearly it’s just me though, lol … :)

I don’t quite get why this video is so disgusting.

To me, it’s a comment on the quality of those guitar hero commercials and reaction videos in general. Both lame. I laughed.

Yeah, just watched it…. it’s the same damn thing they’ve done with their last few commercials, you know, the ones with all the super stars and whatnot like Kobe Briant… only with some guy I don’t know. It wasn’t all that funny, or shocking since they’ve done it 3 times before, nor was it really *barf* worthy. I still like Penny Arcade, but this was a weak comic.

Anywho, I’ma get back to what I was doing before.

Really though, it’s not about being puke worthy gross. It’s about shitty marketing.

OMG i hate that stupid GH for the DS, has anyone else played it? after 2 songs my wrists starts to throb, the sound is shit, and the music selection is terrible on both the games. i dont understand why they made a second, and i bet they get sued over it too

I just love how worked up people get over a comic. Have you read some of those conspiracy theories in the YouTube comments?!

Just post this comic and soon, people will be youtubing about you in NO time!!!
