Penny Arcade: Best of Year Two

Here is the choices for the second year of Penny Arcade. Again, it was difficult to pick just ten, but I hope I got all your favorites. Please vote for the comic you think is the best in the poll. The winner of each year will go to the finals to determine the best Penny Arcade comic. This poll will close in 7 days.

And as always, no thread crapping!

Best of Year One: Halo? Very, Very Sexy

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving everyone!

As I said in the other thread, the Shenmue one is absolute classic and probably mirrors the first 5-10 hrs I spent playing that game (for example trying to feed the cat all the different foods to gauge for reaction!).

Yeah that Shenmue one is actually pretty funny. The 'Timeline' one ain't bad either.

I chose the Shenmue one, because Shenmue sucks.

That was a really tough one. I liked Infidels but I had to settle for Just Like You Remember. Especially since i still play Diablo II. Also, not voting for Divx was rough because he is one of my fav characters.

Since most people were away for the holidays, I am bumping this up so we can get some more votes.

Ah - a much better selection of comics. Year one just sucked, I guess.

It was really hard to decide. I voted for the Div one.
Nothing beats an unemployed, alcoholic, verbally abusive Divx player.

Is there some sort of 'in-joke' on the Shenmue one? I only gave a snicker.

I think they're saying the main character has to find out who killed his Dad, yet he spends all his time doing side quests and mini games and pretty much everything but finding out who killed his Dad. At least that is how I read it.

And it's true, which is why it's so funny (at least when I played the game)

Well, I voted for "Cultural References R Us" because I find it extremely hilarious. I thought that "Just Like You Remember" would be the winner this week, but I guess I underestimated the amount of people who played Shenmue. There is still a few days left a lot more people have time to vote.

24 hours left and we have a tie!

More voting needed. Make it count.
