I’ve been a fan of Penny Arcade since its inception, and the evolution of the thing has been amazing to watch. Two snarky guys with a real talent for humor started with a casual webcomic that has now become a staple of the genre. Now they have an undeniably successful annual charity for kids in hospitals at Christmas (plus related black-tie event) and a series of the most massive and popular gaming conventions ever, the Penny Arcade Expos.

PAX ‘07 just wrapped up and while I was again unable to attend, they’ve provided a bevy of second-hand tales and media to sort through and enjoy. Normally I wouldn’t post any of that here, but there’s this one bit… it’s a guy singing and playing an acoustic guitar and I figure that’s the best sheep costume I’ll ever find.

So here you are go. Jonathan Coulton’s “Re:Your Brains”. Enjoy. With some fava beans and a nice chianti, if you like.

(It’s about the Xbox game Dead Rising, I think.)
