It's a little bit scary and borderline unfair that he only got better with age.

If you get these jokes, it’s time to plan your colonoscopy.

This joke is timeless. 25 years later The Sims is still going strong (for better or worse) and John Romero is still cool and attractive. The salt and pepper hair has only made him more powerful.

back in the day when you got cancelled for making a not-well-received game, rather than when your monstrous sexual perversities were revealed

He made them his bitch

How old am I?
I have the attack of Bacon Robots and remember the Turok and Dino Crisis strips.

Those long, luxurious, flowing locks...

Long hair is my MANE weakness lol.

Did he make you his bitch?

the "accidentally" here is everything to me

Romero is the reason Thief and System Shock developer Looking Glass Studios got shut down. We finished Thief II on time and saved Eidos from going under due to losses suffered from Dai Kitana slipping over and over. We were rewarded with pink slips on May 25, 2000.

Syphon Filter was great!

Thx! I went to that team after Thief.

I remember the strip they did about Looking Glass. I wonder what important information my brain discarded to facilitate my encyclopedic knowledge of decades of Penny Arcade strips? Maybe really important stuff! Or maybe just miscellaneous childhood trauma.

OMG!!! I never saw this. Thank you for sharing. It's 4 days after we closed ♥

Thank you for being a part of gaming, and being here on this corner of the Internet!

Thief II is one of the best games ever made!!! I'm so sad that Thief II Gold never saw the light of day.

I remember the website redesign later in 2000; I still feel nostalgia for the old website.

benkyougin.bsky.social•48 days ago

This really speaks to one of my core values as a human being, wanting to light boring people on fire.

I remember when this comic came out. I had no idea who this guy was. I know now.
