 Penny - definition of Penny in Encyclopedia
Thus a coin worth five times as much as one penny is worth five pence, but "five pennies" means five coins each of which is a penny.
In the USA and Canada, "penny" is normally used to refer to the coin; the quantity of money is a "cent".
The Royal Canadian Mint and the Federal Government of Canada don't officially call the One Cent coin a penny but a "One Cent" coin.

 Working title- Penny Arcade
So, for Penny Arcade, Tycho and Gabe mostly use their rants to discuss the games they are playing and other events in the gaming industry.
There was an early part in their career where Penny Arcade almost disappeared because of a lack of funding, but the readers helped keep the site alive and since then it has been going strong.
This is part of what makes Penny Arcade so popular; they give meaningful reviews on the latest games.

 NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: Penny Arcade (comic)
Included amongst the events of the first PAX were live musical performances, panels on Penny Arcade, and the Omegathon, where twenty contestants gamed for a chance at winning an excessively large video game collection.
Some of the strips are drawn from the perspective of characters within a game[1] or movie[1], often bearing some resemblance to Gabe and Tycho, and usually having some sarcastic remark to make about some feature or bug in the game.
All manner of creatures have been known to drop in, including zombies, a talking DIVX player, and Jesus.

 The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Penny Arcade takes razor-sharp jabs at video-game industry
Microsoft debuted its Xbox video-game console in 2001 to a steady stream of criticism about its controller, which some players said was too big and bulky for their hands.
"Penny Arcade is very well-respected in the gaming industry," said Larry Hyrb, director of programming for Microsoft's Xbox Live service.
The player picks up the bear and asks his roommate, "Did you order one of those new smaller controllers?"

 Slashdot Ask Gabe and Tycho of Penny Arcade
Since Microsoft and Bungie treat Penny Arcade with such high regard, it's very difficult to produce the comics of old that genuinely criticized the console and its games.
Mike "Gabe" Krahulik and Jerry "Tycho" Holkins have been writing and drawing their comic for almost exactly six years under the PA name and in that time they've grown into something of a representative voice for the gaming community.
So what I am curious about, is that it seems to me as if as your friendship with the developers increases, it becomes more difficult to express your true viewpoints of the games that you review.

 Stickler and Hat-Trick review Gabe and Tycho's Penny Arcade :: Comixpedia :: Covering the Digital Frontier of Comics ...
While there were other webcomics out there (though not many), and a webcomic like User-Friendly was a techie strip that occasionally made jokes about games and gaming, PA was certainly the first webcomic to really focus on video games and gaming proper.
Two crass, video-game playing guys making jokes about said video games, or the people who make them, or about how much they love them.
In fact for the first year or so, the characters seemed to exist in gradient land with little or no backgrounds.

Penny Arcade is a hilarious look at the video game world: the creators of games, the producers, the players, the nuances, and all the things that make video games what they are.
