I worked on this game. You have to dribble a basketball in front of all your expensive electronics. Insane idea, but it was a fun project.

I've not read PA in ages, and saw that and thought "Oh wow, the new art style looks pretty good!" Then I saw this was from 2012, and decided to see what the art actually looks like nowadays.
What the fuck happened? Tycho looks like Handsome Squidward with encephalitis, and Gabe looks like every Nickelodeon character in the last 20 years merged into one. I'm curious to know what PA fans think about the style these days, since I've not followed it for a long time, myself.
Who is the Tycho you're referring to? I'm not a basketball guy, or really any sports guy at all. In my book, Tycho is possibly my favorite musician and plays mellow electronic music.
PA refers to Penny Arcade, a gaming culture webcomic that's run since '98 that's linked by Corngood up there. Tycho Brahe (besides being a 16th centure Danish astronomer) is name of one of the main characters in the comic as well as the pseudonym of it's main writer, Jerry Holkins.
