Post subject:  G4 and Penny Arcade

Okay, I turned on G4 and heard about the PAX, I also heard Tycho's name... so yeah. I never really new about Penny Arcade until my post about Miah and Tycho's avatars. Basically all I know is that Penny Arcade has a comic and there is also a game coming out... I'm interested now, can someone tell me exactly what Penny Arcade is?

P.S. I'm just curious.

Yes I already knew it was a comic...

As I already mentioned, the only thing I knew about Penny Arcade was that it was a comic and Miah and Tycho use the protagonists as avatars. I just read an article on the Wikipedia, and now I'm curious as to why Tycho just happens to have the same name as the protagonist of Penny Arcade.

Tycho of PA fame is so named because the person whom he represents (Jerry Holkins) is/was nicknamed Tycho for his similarities to Tycho Brahe, philosopher, though this wasn't always the case. (According to the Wiki article on Holkins, "[...] the character of Tycho was not originally meant to represent Holkins [as] the two have few physical similarities; they are primarily similar in their various interests and attitudes."

Tycho from these boards claims that he was nicknamed "Tycho" because he also was/is similar to Tycho Brahe (I believe he says that he was nicknamed this by family members) and says that he's carried the moniker long before Holkins. (Sorry, I can't find the source post ATM.)
