I ball the old fashioned way: at that basketball machine at the arcade.
Who could pass up this ballin' opportunity?

Was this a GameStop exclusive since presumably you could just buy a basketball in big box stores?

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.

I remember reading it years and years and years ago.
The newest one seems like lazy commentary on things in nerd/gaming news, but maybe it was always like that, lol
Scrolled back a bit from the newest one, and they all seemed to follow the pattern of "Worried Nickelodeon Guy says something that bothers him, Handsome Squidward makes cynical comment about it.

I also prefer the 2012 art to the modern style, but if Mike likes to draw the way he does now then good for him. He’s clearly demonstrated his artistic prowess over the years and I’d guess wanted to make his own exaggerated style. It’s definitely instantly recognizable as his

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.

That’s awesome. Did you ever get complaints that kids would break everything in the house because of this game?

Not that I recall. It turns out that most people have their Xbox in a place that sucks for dribbling a basketball, so I think the correct way to play this game was to move the setup to your garage/patio. :)
