    Is anyone else put off by the fact that the promotional art for the game that has Tycho in it isn't drawn by Mike Krahulik? And that he's going to be voiced, even though the Penny Arcade guys said that they intentionally had no speaking parts for their doppelgangers in the Penny Arcade Adventures series? 
     
    ALSO: Note that Tycho is yet to be seen in any of those "in-game" "screenshots," whereas HWG, Max, and Strong Bad all are. It's interesting and kind of awesome to see all of the different visual styles from each series in the same room, but... how are they going to draw Tycho?

    So I just watched the most recent trailer, and Tycho has a voice (and it isn't Jerry Holkins). 
     
    It's really really unnerving, to me at least. Partly from when they did the podcast and I kinda put the characters on their voices. 
     
    Also WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS GAME!? The few bits of a gameplay that were in this trailer seem like a ... fucking poker game. Which would be nothing of note really except that they are doing all this cross-IP stuff, using the voice actors and integrating TF2 unlocks into it, for a POKER GAME? What is happening?!

    What the hell.
     
    That voice is way too deep and smooth for the kind of character Tycho is.

    It seems like a blatantly exploitative cash-in title, and I agree Tycho sounds really fucked up, especially with as much as I've heard the real Penny Arcade dudes' voices.
     
    This feels like the sort of game that they should be donating 95% of the proceeds to charity.

    I've never heard the Penny Arcade guys speak, at least not of any note. But that voice does not fit that character. It's too old. Tycho looks like someone in his early to mid 20s.
