Penny Arcade Profile

Sunday August 24, 2008
Penny Arcade is a long running webcomic with a rabid fanbase. They are known for their irreverent take on video game culture and do not hold anything back. They take shots at the big boys in the video game industry, even going so far as to make their own video game, putting their own necks on the review chopping block. While some think their ego's get ahead of themselves, Penny Arcade has also done some great things. They host an annual drive to raise funds and video games for kids who are sick and stuck in hospitals, called Child's Play. They are also the organizer of one of the larger video game conventions in the USA, called PAX, with plans for a second on the East coast. Take a look at what has made this webcomic so successful in a profile of Penny Arcade.
