I have a little preview thing up for what I'm working on. It's taking a lot longer than expected though. So the Halloween Comic might be a little past Halloween. Ah well, I'm having fun with it. Happy Halloween!
I really do apologize for not having a VGCats up this week. Had a Scribblenauts strip done that just didn't work out at all. So I scrapped it. THEN MOPED. EMO IS THY NAME. Seriously though I might have been distracted by Brutal Legends as well. Anyway! Working on something special for Halloween though so stay tuned! For now here's a New Super Effective.
The show must go on. We had a pre-order running for most of October at Shark Robot for these new shirts. Leave it to me to post them the day the pre-order ends. So pick 'em up while you can! Personally I'm keeping a Tunnel Snakes shirt for myself.
Just a heads up for all of you who like free stuff. In honor of talk like a pirate day TellTale is GIVING AWAY the first episode of Tales of Monkey Island. This available for today and today only. I highly urge you to try it if you haven't already.
If you're looking for another free game to kill some time on, here's Canabalt. See how far you can get on a randomly generated escape scene. Two little video's for ya too; a fan made Meet the Pyro and The Cat Piano.
Also a word on Scribblenauts. Been playing it for all of a day now and I gotta agree with Scott, the novelty wore off. Fun as all hell to begin with but it does get very repetitive (Wings, black hole, wings, black hole, etc...). Hard to believe in a game geared for creativity. I do recommend you give it a try though. Technically speaking it's a masterpiece. I just didn't enjoy it for as long as I thought I would.
I understand this item removal affected a vast amount of active players. I get that you're mad. You feel cheated, insulted, and demonized. Here's the thing though. You're getting angry over fictitious items in a videogame. In a videogame. Play it and have fun.
Sorry if I came off a little strong but after watching Shawn idle for months, only to result in this. I took a pleasure in it. A LOT. I'm an asshole, it's what I do.
So team Fortress came out with these hats a while ago. They drop randomly while you play the game. The chance of getting one is quite rare. So naturally people used Idlers to cheat their way to a hat. Playing without actually playing.
Now there are also people who lost items obtained legitimately. Simply because they tried out the bot once. Unfair? Maybe but, using the Idler is a violation of your ToS any way you look at it. In anycase, I made a new spray for the occasion, get it here.
Kinda have to see the movie (Inglourious Basterds) to get this one. Which I totally recomend doing. It was fucking awesome. Sorry I missed last week. Was a little short on time to myself.
Here's a short comic after last week's LONG one. Been meaning to use this comic for like two years now. Ah well. Also the video below is very much worth a watch. It's a fan made adaptation of the comics.
New comic, it was really just an excuse to make as many puns as I can. In all I'm not happy with how it turned out. Might just delete it come next week, we'll see.
My God was I ever tired when I got back. I forgot it was a long weekend and we ended up getting really stuck at the boarder. Traffic was backed up for miles. Drive a foot, break, park, wait for 10 minutes, repeat. Thanks to everyone who came though!
Anyway! Couple of things L4D to mention. First is a brand new campaign announced for it. Crash Course, details over here. As well an amazing fan made campaign released, Heaven Can Wait. It's the first fan made map to have a (make-shift) gauntlet event.
And if you feel like expressing your L4D love with a shirt, the guys at Halolz have this Peelz shirt.
