A week's worth of 360 related Penny Arcade comics


This past week had all three of Penny Arcade's comic had to do with 360 titles, namely Stranglehold's demo, BioShock's demo and street date breakery. Soft Targets gives insight into the Precision Tequila Bomb, and Gabe's definition of "headshot," and the Achievement that should be awarded for proficiency therein. Our Continuing Series is a public service announcement to parents and the dangers of their kids splicing with plasmids. Finally, A Dark Recipe goes to show the lengths at which Tycho would go to secure a copy of Bioshock before the street date, obviously he didn't hear about our contest.

1. commenting here because i believe the "e-mail me when someone replies" option is busted.

concerning this thread:http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/08/14/how-to-unlock-hard-mode-in-bioshock-demo/1#comments

where i argue freezing enemies in midair.

for those keep saying "it's just a game, it's not real!"

watch this:

if security drones can do it, why the hell not humans? ...i think i made my point.

tho, i haven't played the full game yet, just the demo. can anybody tell me about the actual freeze physics?

Been waiting to see who won since the last Bioshocl blof that said we had 1 hour left to sign up and win.("and win" implied we would know who won in that next hour,at least thats the way I took it)

3. Ummm, dudes, the f word is in the little picture you attached. I personally don't mind at all, but the kiddies (or their parents) could be startled or angry.

6. 'Soft Targets' was spot on. But I don't think it's called the Precision Tequila Bomb.
