Why you should watch the Penny Arcade reality show:

1. Whether or not you appreciate the Penny Arcade comic strip, the authors’ personalities are engaging enough (and their story of succeeding against the odds is inspiring enough) to warrant spending 16 minutes of your day on watching the show’s pilot episodes. If anything, it passes the time until A Life Well Wasted’s newest chapter releases later today.
2. The show was shot and edited by the 2 Player Productions, the same indie film production crew behind the Blip Festival DVDs/CDs. Support these super talented guys; they rock.
3. Because of 2PP’s involvement, the camera work and film quality are top notch, and the program is littered with chiptune tracks from familiar artists playing in the background, like Alex Mauer’s “Any City”, a favorite in the Tiny Cartridge office.
4. The concert scene around 05:30 of the pilot episode’s second half, in which the crowd is waving around their bright screened gadgets, is glorious. In fact, if you watch closely, you’ll see one of the DSes is displaying a copy of Art Style: BoxLife/HacoLife. You owe it to this gamer to watch the show!
