After a loooooooong wait, we're inside the main theater sitting and listening to some sweet ass 80s tunes.

Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit. He took the midnight train going aannnnnnnnnywhere. Yes, I'm singing along.

I'm using my cell phone to do this, so expect it to crap out when it matters.

Islands in the stream that is what we are, nothing in between sail away with me to another world and we will rely on each other uh huh.

Oh, yeah. I can feel the love. Heck, I can smell it. I think they're going to start soon, but just keep the groove on.

And like rockstars the Penny Arcade duo take to the stage.

"Was that dramatic enough? Ya!"

OOOOOH, looks like a live wedding proposal.

Sean: I'm glad you can here with me. I know you don't understand the culture...I knew you might understand the culture and understand me... will you marry me?

...
.
Yes!

And the crowd goes wild!

The Q&A is going nicely. They started by officially announcing their video game and passing out an art sheet for the game to everyone in the crowd.

Now, they're talking about the whole Jack Thompson dance about the attorney's threat against them for donating $10,000 in Thompson's name "in spite."

And the crowd goes wild again.

"He's scraming at us on the phone. And the next thing we know we're cced on a fax to the police department."

The police blew him off and then he escalated to the FBI and they blew it off.

"We haven't talked to him again."

They just announced their $10,000 scholarship.

Question: Alien versus Predator, who takes the cake?

Answer: They're fighting over a cake? Is that a metaphorical cake?

Question: Are you going to implement a better way to search your comics?

Answer" We realize there are a lot of problems with our site. It's mostly your guys' fault. Would you be interested in a tag system? We try to do it with the new ones.

Question: What's your guys view on ful-motion cartoons?

Answer: We thought about doing a cartoon and have been approached about doing one, But I think it makes a lot more sense to tell the story we want in a game.

Question: Do you think there ever will be a scientific forumla to express your awesomeness?

Answer: I don't know how to answer that. Is that all? I love you so much, come back stage.

Question: Hey guys, I broight you some hats, unlike these other ingrates.

Answer: You may approach.

Question: If you could fight anyone in history who would you fight?

Answer: Fight! I would probably fight Teddy Rossevelt. I would fight a giant crab. No, wait, wait, it would be a historical crab... from the past... like really, really long ago.
Question: When the PS3 and Wii come out which are you going to buy?

Answer: There's no question of us buying a PS3 at launch. It is grade-a bullshit.

Oooh, Tycho just got called out to a roll-off.

First roll: Eight and eight.
Second roll: Yeah, you totally won. You run Penny Arcade now.

They just ended the talk by giving away free t-shirts to a bunch of fans. Anyone who found a card taped to the bottom of their seat one. The guy sitting next to me found one stuck to my shoe.

Don't ask.

Best Quote of the talk: It's sort of like an F-14 Tomcat, but it fucks fruit. Brian Crecente
