Someone please explain today's Penny Arcade to me.

I understand that the new Tiger Woods games lets you take pictures of yourself and make a golfer with your real face. Is the Tiger in the last frame a play on Tiger Woods? What am I missing here?

    Nope, pretty sure it's just supposed to be a cat.

    In Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 you can use the Xbox 360 Camera to map your face to you in game golfer. So Gabe first took a picture of his balls which mapped to his face, and then took a picture of his cat's face.

    I got everything you describe, right up to the picture of the cat's face. Why is Tycho so shocked by a cat?
  • MagicMagic
    He went an took a picture of a cat?

    Is it sad that he was less shocked by the scrotum than the cat?
  • SchnevetsSchnevets
    It's just something random that is not out of Gabe's personality, but still more unpredictable than just a scrotum picture.

    ...proving yet again that when you have to explain humor, it's no longer funny.

    It's not the fact that it's a cat that makes it funny. It's the image itself in the final that is inherently hilarious. It's a drawing that is simply funny to behold.

    Does it actually work like that, making big cat heads, or is it like Rainbow Six and if it's not perfect it fails?
     
    Either way I got a kick out of it until this thread... Fuckers.

    Is this really a game game game? I may or may not be interested in such a thing.

    Three games. Originated with Dofus (MMORPG). Then Wakfu (MMORPG) followed it up. Then the Wakfu Animated series.

    The boardgame, Krostmaster: Arena started as a Kickstarter, iirc. You can also play it online. I don't know if you need the extra figurines to play/unlock them online, but they don't come cheap.

    I love the art and was tempted to buy the board game at PAX Prime just based on the awesome figurines, but it appeared to look like a poop game. However, reading a few things here and there on BGG may say otherwise.

    You can find more on the Ankama site.

    I remember the Wakfu animated series being good. At least, Nine liked it.
  • lackofcheeselackofcheese
    I enjoyed it also.

    I assume the gender swap in today's comic is a response to Ubisoft and their misguided "explanation" about the lack of playable female characters in Assassins's Creed: Unity.
  • NeitoNeito
    I wouldn't put it past them to do something like that. Remember the strip where Tycho was drawn as a radish because he wouldn't buy a Dreamcast?

    They posted when the comic went up that it was a tribute to this tumblr.

    They also acknowledged on their Facebook feed that it is a jab at Ubisoft.

    I thought it was neat in a Cake-the-cat and Fiona-the-human way.
  • SWATrousSWATrous
    I was pretty stoked I must say. It's pretty awesome.

    Fiona and Cake are also that, so... yeah.
