PAX Conventions?

I used to love Penny Arcade. But now they're getting WAY too big. They have conventions and groupies and even Bill Amend (artist of FoxTrot) doing a guest strip? They've blown up, and for that, I can't follow them anymore. Why? Cause I'm sure in a year or so, we'll see them on a reality show. Not only that, but "Tycho's" posts have way too many $10 words for no apparent reason. I support the independent game retailers, so I guess my mentality carries through across the board.

VG Cats is still one of my favorites. Here's some highlights to enjoy (click on the pic for a larger image):
