Did someone say new comic? YUUUUUP. I really can't wait until the newborn phase gets a regular sleep pattern. Got time to work on these in between shifts so each of us can sleep. Little hour to two hour spurts days apart. ALAS, first world problems.

Omahdon's got a new audio adaptation. I love this way more than I should. I'm not saying erection but there's a tingle.



I really do need to spend some time and play games though. If he's passed out on me I'll play some Saints Row 3 just because it's so easy to get into and stop. Far from a deep game but that's honestly not a bad thing. It's nice to have an over the top, arcade, fun for all to play if that's all you've got time for. Would I say buy it? Yeah sure, it's short but it's quite fun.

Quite a few games I have but haven't really touched yet. Dark Souls, Dynasty Gundam 3, Skyward Sword. I made the mistake of registering Knights of the Old Republic. That free month went by without so much as a force push.

One game I'm REALLY looking forward to and hope it sees a North America launch is A Dynasty Warriors One Piece game. The first trailer is here, the second one (and MUCH better) is here.

From what I've read and seen it'll be covering all the events from the first chapter to New World. As well ALL the current crew will be playable. One Piece works so well in a Dynasty Warriors format it's criminal. It's had a few games on Wii that were flashy to watch but pretty boring to play. This new one for PS3 looks like a welcome turn around. It just better have Big Emperor.

That's enough of me ranting. Also don't forget books!

Holy carp and trout! I haven't made a news post in a while. Had a new comic up before christmas and then promptly got very busy being a new dad! It's just been a mad house of poop and urine ever since. Oh and the sleep deprivation. OH THE SLEEP DEPRIVATION. You always hear it's a bit of a life changer but it never really sinks in until it happens. Still, couldn't be happier.

Also, we've got a new VGC Animated! (Great jerb!)


(Newgrounds Link)

Had the site blacked out (like there was a difference lolol) in opposition to SOPA/PIPA the other day. Bills like this are nothing new and we will continue seeing them in the future. It is however important to address them in all cases. Especially this one as it's particularly nasty.

I think my biggest problem with this bill is it'll ultimately boil down to more censorship. Just yesterday we saw MegaUpload (video, etc..) got shut down. They already have the means to go after people. SOPA/PIPA is giving more power to a system that already has too much.

So if you have a moment I do ask you to write in and voice your opposition. On a gaming note there's a SOPA related E3 boycot a brewing which is worth a gander.

Workin' on a comic. For now here are some great videos to check out!



Oh, and don't forget the books!

New Super Effective!? It seems like months! Probably because it has been. I tell ya, this past little while has been just exhausting. I'll get to recent events in a bit. Right now I've got some really exciting news. We've got books!!! That's three exclimation points. You know this shit just got real.

At long last I'm putting out my first two books. They're avalible for preorder (shipping on Dec 6th) at the moment but, I highly suggest gettig it now if you want it in time for Christmas. First come first serve so to speak.

As you can see we have both paperback and hardcover for VG Cats. The hardcover will be a one time printing. So once it's gone it's gone for good. Super Effective didn't make sense for a hardcover so it'll just be paperback.

Believe me though, these books look faaaantastic. I just got my advance copies the other day and I am SO happy with how they turned out. It's great to see Super Effective in large high-res glory. VG Cats is packed full of comics in a really nice manga travel-style size. Both books are printed on slick and glossy paper that gives me the weirdest boner. There's nothing I'd change.

Now on to the past month or so.

Cat almost died. Got pretty sick and is doing better now but for a while it was pretty iffy. During that the basement flooded. Did I mention my computer was down there? The one I use to make comics. After cleaning up that mess the plumbers tore the place up to fix the problem. Dust, mud, and sludge everywhere. I'm STILL cleaning it up. In the process I became asthmatic. I've always been allergic to dust and mold but this recent incident pushed me over. For a good week I was having SERIOUS problems breathing. Got a puffer, doing WAY better. So, I am sorry there haven't been comics. It's a matter of not having time, not playing games, and just mentally not there for making with the funny.

As well the medical bills for our cat have been a bit extreme. I've been doing commissions when I can to help pay down the costs. I'll probably put a call out on here when I have time to take more on. For now I just wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten about the comics and you. This whole year has just been a bit hellish (funerals, car accident, hospitals) and I'm trying the best I can. So thank you for bearing with me.

Got some Pumpkin designs up. Couldn't really think of any new ones so I'm open to suggestions.


Enjoy!

Long time no see! Sorry about that. Worked for a while on a Spiral Knights (free to play btw) comic but ended up scrapping it. All that effort of making sure all the armor looked like what it was supposed to, WASTED. Ah well! After that I've spent a good long while, day and night making sure VG Cats and Super Effective books will be ready for sale on christmas. So far so good!

For now enjoy a new Super Effective and some more wallpapers:

And per usual, some neat links that are well worth your time. Pokemon done by the Adventure Time guys, TF2 how to make a Sandvich, GLaDOS on iPhone 4S, a very cool interactive trailer for Orcs Must Die, from Brentalfloss the TF2 song, a spectacular 20 minute Mario anniversary medley, and finally thunder.. Thunder THNDERCATS LOOOL!

As well we've got two free games to check out. Team Fortress Arcade, the fan-made side-scrolling beat 'em up action game, is out. Boy that's a long description. And a bit of a late link that I've been meaning to mention, Super Smash Land! An 8bit styled SmashBros fan work.


Finally, I've been been meaning to mention this the longest. Josh over at Punks and Nerds released his first album with the help of the band, Gunday Monday (of which are on tour, like RIGHT NOW). They're a ska/punk influenced band and his album is a ska/punk ROCK OPERA! So if that's your thing you can pick it up on Amazon and iTunes. Or you can get a physical copy (along with a digital + Monkey King 40 page mini-comic) AND a 35% discount code ("vgcats") over at BandCamp. Also available in Chiptunes. Neat!

Had more than a few requests for the last panel as a wallpaper. So I went through and just made a bunch from some of the comics. Enjoy!

New Comic! Been playing Deus Ex HUE-MAN Revolution this past week on and off. Still a little early to render judgment but, I would recommend the PC version if you're going to get it.

The 360 version glitched on me hard and I lost my HUD. Only fix is to restart your game. so I figured might as well buy it and restart on the PC since the 360 copy was only a rental. It just feels better on PC too. Menu systems, easy of use, and controls all contribute to a faster paced game.

SO HOW ABOUT SOME WICKED COOL LINKS? NO? FACK YOU. Have some Starfox Space Oddity!

Things are getting back to normal which is super fantastic. SO. Here's a new comic! From Dust released on PC last week and I'm quite enjoying it. Path finding for the people is a little quirky but that's really my only complaint. It's only $15 on steam (1200 points on XBLA) and not a bad title for the price. I guess DRM has been an issue with this game too but, honestly I didn't really notice. It will need a stable internet connection though. Just a heads up.

Also we've got some new animated VG Cats! from some awesome fans!

Put up a new comic about two weeks ago and haven't had time to put together a good news post. Been a rough two weeks of bad news, after bad news, after bad news. Bare with me. I'm stretching myself a little thin right now. Thank you for your patience.

for now here's some videos to check out! Portal 2 the music video, Portal 2 the RAP music video, Can-can Zelda, Team Fortress Arcade, Kakariro Fortress TF2, and GTA IV DeLorean Mod.

Holy moly it's been a while since I did a news post. Lost of stuff to cover over the past month. So lets get started. First is E3. Did a comic for it about a week back expressing my opinion. If you missed the goings on here's a pretty good recap.

Sony put out an alright conference, Microsoft was abysmal, and this guy at Ubi... I've never seen anything so awkward. He made for a good remix though. Nintendo's WiiU really stole the show. The specs are over here if you haven't read about them yet. I'm pumped! Two other note worthy games I'm excited for are Zelda Skyward Sword and Star Wars The Old Republic.

Another thing I wanted to talk about is LA Noire.
Didn't really live up to my expectations but I did enjoy it but, not really as a game. You very much feel like you're placed in a gritty crime drama. The writing and acting really help bring the experience to life. My main problem with the game is that I could probably get the same feeling from just watching a video walkthough. Too much of it is hand holding. Events, choices, and interview results just don't have any impact on the overall story.

I would normally say rental but, this is a LONG game. If a fun story is something that interests you than by all means pick it up. It is a decent buy in that respect. Just don't expect the same type of game as Grand Theft Auto.

Now on to DOOK NOOKEM. I think Notch said it best in his review. Avoid this game at all cost. The wait was NOT worth it.

Lasty? MEET THE FUCKING MEDIC

Oh Brentalfloss, you speak to my soul, bro. MY SOUL, BRO.

Also we've got quite a few animated version of the comics to check out. The first three are by MikeandTrey over at NewGrounds. Episode one(Number one), two(Ew..), and three (Skittles). As well an voiced version of Early Bird Special. Can't tell you ho much I love to see these. Awesome work!

Well that was quick. Someone already did an audio version of the comic. Great job guys.

Now on to Portal 2, loved it. An improvement on the first in just about every way. It's MUCH longer, new puzzles involving gels, brand new co-op feature, and spectacular writing. I don't think I've ever laughed so much at anything in quite a while as I did with this. Steven Merchant and J.K. Simmons were a treat to listen to the whole way through.

Verdict? BUY. THIS. GAME. You won't regret it. Though you might want to give the first a rent (It's relatively short) if you haven't already. Here are a few fun Portal links to check out: "Man Made" Mad Men parody, Left 4 Dead meets Portal 2, SPAAAACE,and a rather awesome Portal 2 promo.

Also we've got a new shirt! Combustible Lemons.

TLDR; Sony fucked up... BIG time. I honestly can't be live they'd do something that stupid but, there it is. I liked it better when it was just an outage.

I'll have more of a newspost tomorrow. Just wanted to get this comic up while it was relevant and forgot to sleep in the process. Nap time.

If you don't watch the new My Little Pony series, you really should. The show is by the same people behind Power Puff Girls and Fosters, so if you enjoy those I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this. Equestria Daily is a good place to start.

Anyway link time... with a TWEEST. Here are some awesome pony links to check out. Pocahontas meets MLP, a really nice piano medley, Real Ponies, and Real Bronies of Genious, Then of course there's the TON of remixes available. Enjoy!

Put up a new VGC the other day. I just generally don't get systems on launch day anymore. Combination of not much to play on said system at the time, knowing the price will drop or a new version will release, and SO many other games I should be playing. Not that I don't love this system of course

Couple of free games (and one not free) to check out. The first is a game I've been meaning to post for ages, Icarus Proudbottom in: The Curse of the Chocolate Fountain. Fly through the air on a trail of shit guided by your spirit animal. Another is GRIP which comes from the maker of the infamous QWOP. Next you should get before Nintendo pulls it from the internet, Fan-made Zelda Link's Awakening remake.

Finally a game that a friend of mine has been working on, CreaVures. You can check out the trailer for it over here. It's $10 on Steam and the Mac App Store.

Now per usual, here are a few good videos to check out. Gnome Chompski: The Game, The voice of Halo, and Pokemon Crystal in Vietnamese.

New Super Effective. That show had one of the most catchy theme songs ever and, will very easily get stuck in your head.
