The Dorks Behind Penny Arcade, an Obscure Webcomic Turned Vidgame Empire

Wired sent an embedded reporter into the dangerous battleground of Penny Arcade.

Their nine-room office is a gamer’s paradise — Willy Wonka’s long-lost chip fab. There are dozens of Xbox 360s, a heaping carton full of Nintendo Wiimotes, an SNK arcade cabinet, a vintage Atari Lynx handheld. The walls are covered with blowups of their work and game posters autographed by the developers. There’s also a floor-to-ceiling stack of the latest videogames, sent by publishers eager to be mentioned in the strip. “We’ll throw them on sometimes when we’re looking for grist for the day’s comic,” Holkins says.
