The comic was fun to read but kinda sad. If they don't get it after watching training videos, if they don't get it from reading the guide section, can even Penny Arcade save new players? We can only hope.

The success of this game is based upon it's association with a popular webcomic. This is Business 101.

i thought it was cute. and the promotion from an established source will help this game.

[WhiteCatInsurgency]

Interesting interpretation of business.

[gregsolidus]

I just hope it has the intended effect.

I thought things were bad when they associated themselves with Microsoft... (joking, duh)
(They got the Rights.. the Rights... to Meeeeeeechbaaaay!)

I think more exposure is a good thing.

It depends on what type of exposure it is though.

There's no good gaming site that would shame its name to associate with MWO at the end of 2012..

Penny Arcade and MWO is a good match, they need each other!

Well, they're millionaires. You troll MWO forums. I think the pecking order is quite clear here.

Nothing wrong there. the NGNG guys do the training video voice overs.

Apparently not everyone BTW you get one day free premium time when you read it. (just be logged in to the site and there is a button on the bottom)

They need to create a small line of plushy mechs with velcro rip away limbs and for starters, book a booth for GenCon and other gaming conventions of that size.
Also give away freezies and slurpy ice cones from a mech slurpy dispenser.

Win the geeks over with plush and slush. Call it such. The "Plush & Slush" MWO ad campaign.

I would like $1000 in MC credited to my account for the previous ideas.

Thank you.

As a (theoretically) grown man, I have never in my life purchased something for myself that could be described with the term "plushy." I would buy a plushy mech with real monies right now if they had them.
