Transcript:

In the late 90's, Mike Krahulik moved in with his best friend Jerry Holkins to play video games and make cartoons. After misfires like Chickenman and Clan Walrus, they created Penny Arcade featuring characters later named after their screen names, Tycho, a story-scrutinizing intellectual, and Gabe, a Pac-Man obsessed free-spirit. They pitched the comic to Next Generation Magazine, but were quickly shown the door.

They continued posting Penny Arcade online using server space from Efront and running banner ads. With three posts a week, they lampooned gaming news and continued to attract more views, but Efront was out of money and wouldn't pay them.

Khoo worked two months free to right the ship.

Called PAX West, the convention now draws over 60,000 gamers and has expanded to PAX East, PAX South, and PAX Australia.

Have fun!
