Slog - Comments on Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, Episode One ... The Review http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/penny_arcade_adventures_on_the_rainslick The best and worst thing about the first Penny Arcade video game is its humor. Not because it's an "acquired taste," though that's a fair worry--PA, the web comic, prides itself on in-jokes and up-to-the-minute game satires. PA, the video game, eschews much of that, instead taking place in an alternate 1920s America where the Industrial Revolution has loosed an army of cultish mimes and fruit-raping robots. It's bizarre, but it's that sort of universal bizarre that'll leave fans and outsiders cracking up in equal measure. You don’t need to be a fan of the comic to be both...

Wired's recent profile of them labels their office near Northgate, yes. But they've said they reside in Bellevue, and that's where they held their initial Expos. Either way, the guys are local.

Seriously - hearing a Barry White voice smoothly go, "Ooooh..." might bring a smile to my face, and for the guys, there are always the gal equivalent - unfortunately, that might win Wii Fit a possible M rating, a few parents in uproar, and more press for the game than they ever bargained for.

Anyone offering a hack to "upgrade" my Wii Fit? M rated goodness = happy.
