Don't you guys see, though? Penny Arcade is in cahoots with the video game industry. They made this comic so that the watchdog groups will THINK gamers don't care about Manhunt 2, and while the adults look the other way, all the children will be free to play the game and train to be killers!

As always, Gabe and Tycho are right on the money. The media may be focusing on Manhunt 2 but most of us right now are talking about games like Crysis, Hellgate: London, Guitar Hero III or Rock Band. Bravo, guys. :)

Gotta love the guys over at Penny Arcade. So true. So funny.
@ Black Manta
Don't forget Assassin’s Creed, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Final Fantasy 13 (a friend tells me Versus may still be released this year), Halo 3, and a host of others.

yeah I am not in either wedge, nor is my roomate or any of my co-workers, who are in the majority as gamers. We all went out and picked up GHIII or Ratchet, or are playing Tactics on our PSP's.
To Gameboy;
Don't get your hopes up buddy. I can guarantee you that game isn't coming out this year.

@ valthun
Yeah, I know. It's all rumor and whatnot. I don't really expect they'll release it too far from the release date of FF13, but you never know. I honestly can't find any concrete info on that. Guess I'll just wait and see.

I'm not sure if I count as the purple wedge or not. I care about the fact that people are trying to censor it and demonize video games at large by association.
I don't care about it from the perspective that I want to play it, especially after the middling reviews it's been getting.

Posted 11/21/09 at 09:16pm Alyric: The leaked information proves these organizations knowingly defrauded governments (i.e., taxpayers) out of billions of dollars. Yet there will probably never be a trial.

Posted 11/21/09 at 09:07pm Alyric: @Zip: FYI, the construction of solar panels puts out more pollution than any form of energy production. To say nothing of the toxic components of the panels that cannot be recycled.

Hear that JT? Manhunt 2 won't corrupt us because most of us don't actually care about the game. You had nothing to worry about from the start.
Hooah indeed!

I went and picked up Bladestorm. I'm loving it in 1 hour.

"I’d say the proportion of gamers is actually smaller. "
I agree
The chart has an unaturaly large purple part. My reseach gives me a Graham number for the yellow/purple pixels ratio. Or a DNC error. More common.
Otherwise it jumps to the most recent comic, which is no longer the Manhunt one.

CyberSkull's right, the link you have up is now to the wrong comic, and it's still on the main page
Also; Penny Arcade is, as always, spot on.
