I started reading PA in 1999. I haven't consistently read it in maybe 10 or 12 years. A friend of mine was a mod on the forums and helped out at some of the earliest PAXes. They've pretty much always been like this. Snarky, know-it-all, elitist geek humor. That's what they are.

These guys have been doing the exact same thing for almost 25 years now. They're a perfect case of total arrested development. They dramatically scaled back their operations a few years ago so they can do just the stuff they want to ... comics and D&D. Good for them.

I'm not so sure they're totally cucked. They've got public figure disease, and parent's of girl child disease.

Having a daughter seems to make you a total pussy. If anything having boys has made me go further in the opposite direction.
