In 2002 Khoo offered Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik of Penny Arcade a business plan and two months of work for free, with no strings attached.[1] He has since helped build the Penny Arcade empire and was featured as being one of the 40 most powerful individuals in the game industry.[2]

Khoo has appeared in several Penny Arcade strips, namely "Crimson Lies", "Les Moments Awkwards", "Uncomfort", "Revolting Even To Contemplate","Couch Diplomacy", "DM 101", "Purgatory", "The S Word", "Engaging The Social Web", and "Motive". He is occasionally referenced in the news posts as being very good at math, ping-pong, Soul Calibur II, Puzzle Quest, and Lumines.

On June 13, 2016, Holkins announced that Khoo had resigned his position at Penny Arcade.[3]
