There’s two pieces of gaming news that Digital Strips just can’t resist for long. I’m laughing at myself as well as I realize just how late I am telling you about these two games.

The first bit of news you have to have heard of by now because I’m just now writing about it. Two weeks ago I caught this little piece of news from the GameDaily Biz. Penny Arcade and Hothead Games have joined together to create a series of Penny Arcade webcomic-based games.
