I recently read Penny Arcade's first book Attack of the Bacon Robots. It is the entire first year of Penny Arcade's existence as a web comic. Eight years before it was the biggest web comic talking about video games, it was just two guys writing about the many problems with and the love of video games. This is all the comics you could find if you started at the beginning of the PA archive except Tycho went back and wrote wonderfully witty and often laugh out loud comments on each strip. It's really funny to see the hindsight comments on their (sometimes absurb) predictions on gaming trends actually happening today.
Every comic is written in the over-the-top style that Gabe draws the strip with exceptional depth in every panel's dialog. I really enjoyed this book and plan to purchase the rest in the series after the holiday season. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves video games.
PS. Thanks Dad for this one. Sorry it took me a couple years to finally get around to reading it.

You're welcome, son. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I think you're really going to like "Top Ten" after you get through reading that book with no pictures.
