The Pratfall of Penny Arcade - A Timeline
Help me fill this in. Im trying to keep the language dry. If you have questions, here is a FAQ.
NOTE: To those of you just joining us, please dont just read the first three links and then decide youve got the full story. The full story is complex and contains multiple points of view, not just two sides. The timeline is long, but its worth at least a skim down the whole thing. Cheers. DT
