My train of thought upon getting my new computer set up started with "What's this 'Dashboard' thing--oh, coooool" and, just an hour ago, ended with "... oh, hey, I have a computer powerful enough to play the Penny Arcade game now!"

So I bought it. And bumped the resomolution all the way up. And cackled like a mad scientist as the game resolved beautifully on my gigantor screen, as is seemingly appropriate.

I like the graphical style (as well I might, seeing as how I enjoy Penny Arcade), and I like the humor (as well I might, seeing as how etc.) and I like the realtime-RPG-style combat system (as well I might, being a wimpling RPG gamer). I've really only seen the game's setup so far, but I liked it, and I'm looking forward to more.

The only possible answer to "So, will I like this game?" is "Well, do you like Penny Arcade?" I do like Penny Arcade, ergo, this was a wise gaming choice for me. So, On The Rain-Slick Precipice Of Darkness, Episode One. There are worse ways to waste your time and money. If you like Penny Arcade.

So, my computer isn't powerful enough to play the Penny Arcade game. But I have a 360. And /damn/ if I'm not tempted to set up the wireless and figure out the confusing menace of Live just to play this game.

Hopefully it won't come to that, and there will be real touchable copies for the 360 to buy. Or Matt will haul his 360 that has the game on all the way over here. Which doesn't seem unreasonable at all!

Dude they never release arcade-style stuff at retail, except in Japan... I would really advise figuring out that menace, not that we found it very hard to set up. (Our household is probably cheating, though, we're both in IT.)

Alas, I do not tend to like Penny Arcade. I suppose this game is therefore Not For Me.

Now if only Episode Two would hurry up and get finished!
