That's the normal EVE banner. You can also find it on the gaming sites on the C|Net network (Gamespot and GameFAQs).

Bah PA can be good stuff. Not to mention its tame compared to the likes of SA and 4chan.

Not really. It has had some of the most insightful comments in online comics.
1. "The Greater Internet F***wad Theory" which describes how normal people become morons when given an audience and anonymity.
2. "The Bullshot," a word describing screenshots released as promotion that look absolutely nothing like the actual game, and are completely BSed from the ground up.

They are equally worthless .
Its the same with bloggers and on-line comics. Every geek and their kid sister can have one.

Penny Arcade are not a "random blogger or online-comic". They're probably one of the most famous ones out there, at least in the top 10, and they've been around for 7+ years. There's a reason why their Alexa ranking is an insane 1404, 3 times higher than EVE Online.
SomethingAwful is even higher at 1333, and 4chan is about 2000. All are higher than EVE Online.

Didn't realize that in the rankings lower was better
I'm surprised Google's only #3, MSN's #2 and Yahoo's holding #1.

Suppose someone should also mention Penny Arcade has a Eve Online following and a 'Eve chat thread' . I think there are also 3 PA eve corps too (The Merch, Merch Industrial, and Fleshreapers I think are the names).

Niether is 'Penny Arcade Sucks Balls' but there you are.
As for Eve adverts becoming more common, I've noticed it myself and while increasing the number of subscribers can only make CCPs accountants happy in the pants I can only hope that Eve doesn't grow so fast that it crumples under an influx of scammers, isk sellers, whining forum w**res and kiddies that have finally gotten sick of WoW (hmmm... I wonder if any of the original WoW subscribers still play it?).

lol, when your average blogger/webcomic makes a living off of it, and is able to run an annual giant convention/LAN party with thousands of people attending, then you might have a point.
now I may admit that PA's quality and humor have gone down from where they once were, but its not that bad.

compared to 99% of the populace? yes. compared to other directors they indeed might be terrible. ... but they are still leagues above the vast majority of everyone else.

I beg to differ.
If you visit small film festivals where they show short movies and movies created by 'film students' and amateurs etc you will see superior quality compared to the garbage Uwe and Anderson spew out.
Thats it, I am convinced. Both Uwe and Anderson are actually sleeping their way into getting new jobs.

Apples and oranges.
Movie directors get paid by a producer/production house and usually get around $500-5,000 (US) per minute of film released no matter how many people go see it, bloggers/webcomic makes money off of ads on their site and usually get <$0.001 (US) per unique IP address visiting their site.
A better comparison would be career webhosts to career bloggers/webcomics.

If you not like the webcomic it¦s okay no one it¦s going to whine about that but, you can¦t deny PA got a massive audience and it¦s well respected by a large ammount of gamers (just check the effect of jack thompson, trys to mess PA around )..
and yes lately there is a lot of EVE ads in several sites, wich is ever good. -------------------Sig----------------------- The True Pirate secret |

Maddox is even higher and he's nothing but a self-inflated dumbass who acts high and mighty in a way that you know he doesn't act in the real world.

You know, things like this make my head hurt... OF COURSE he doesn't act like that in real life, it is for comedy! Thats like saying because the directors of southpark don't grind up people and put them into chili in real life, so they must be worthless posers. |

Well, I liked the ad, and actually it was through PA that I first started the game. So it works, whether you like PA or not.
Humor is a personal thing. Some people like it one way, others like it another. Really, you can't argue these things. When will people learn ^^.

Same here. I quit DDO, then tried WoW and quit that. I was beginning to despair that there were no good MMOs until I saw the ad on Penny Arcade and decided to give it a try.
Haven't looked back since.

Quote: "Would the poster above me please stand up?"
Worst tagline ever. Anywhere.
PAX is a lot of fun, if you haven't gone to it, please sit down.
Oh, and everyone has their own brand of humor - it's rather...silly....to suggest that they're all "unfunny" simply because anyone can post it to the web. That argument is a rather simple logical fallacy.
So you think PA isn't funny? Oh well. A lot of people do find it amusing. To each their own :).
Not to mention the original poster was just talking about noticing an EVE online advert.
But enough of feeding the Troll :)
---------------------------
OP - the add is pretty sweet - I bet it will bring lots of folks to look at EVE - and all the better if they're PA community members.
