the people here who check up on penny arcade regular would have noticed that the last two comics (here and here)  have been under the name bogey golf  with a accompanying  blog post on the main page  talking about the site changing to bogey golf . is this a actual serious change  and if it is what does this meen for penny arcade   or the penny arcade adventures games?

its just a new series, penny arcade is the company.

Think of it like a spin off.

Reading the post, they don't make it sound like a spin off, they make it sound like penny arcade is done for. Anyone know anything?

There is no chance this is legit, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot to make such a dramtic and pathetic change, maybe it has something to do with the second episode of there game? (doubtful) or a very very early/late april fools? lol.

I have no idea, either way it's gotta go.

(maybe it's just to tide the time until some games come out worth commenting)

I'm sure it's a spin-off. They don't seem like the type that even enjoy golfing. If anything, they should make one with table tennis.

This is a joke. They talked about this exact thing (in a very jokey fashion) on a podcast months ago, and it looks like they finally decided to do something with it. It's not replacing Penny Arcade at all, it's just a few comics.

Seriously, this is about as real as when they claimed to have bought the exclusive right to make video game comics. They do this shit all the time.

I cannot lose Penny Arcade,  not to golf! Can't anyone anywhere shed some light on these troubling developments. My knowledge runs as far as saying that Mike used to make a comic strip for his dad every Fathers Day called "Bogey Golf". How this has somehow manifested into a Penny Arcade crusher I don't know. I would imagine that they will run the new site for the entirety of the 30 strips and then revert back to PA goodness.

How can a Penny Arcade reader not get the joke?

Yeah, they're just having a laugh. I'm sure reactions like these are half the reason they're doing it. We're amusing THEM, for a change.

They should move on to political cartoons after this. Or maybe a more direct Family Circus parody or something... still, it's a welcome change, I bet they're having fun making them.

Bogey Golf is a long-running PA inside joke, you can hear them muse about it on one of their podcasts. It's just a mini-run inside their regular comic. Now, they might have been insane enough to actually do the thirty they promised, but I doubt it. They're just jerking you along, and using it as an opportunity to take a bit of a break from the normal PA stuff.

It seems pretty clear just by reading the accompanying news that it's a joke. Don't worry about Penny Arcade. It's not going anywhere.
