I know we've all thought of it. What's exactly in those eggs that they're able to hop around. We all know what kinds of eggs that Yoshis hatch from, and those are the eggs.
Needless to say, their effectiveness would increase tenfold with a fetus inside each one. Nobody wants a Yoshi fetus on them...NOBODY!!!
I've only ever played the GBA version of the game, and it's pretty enjoyable. There's different kinds of eggs to throw, Yoshi transforms into a helicopter and submarine, the levels are fun, there's a lot to like about the game.
Maybe because the eggs in the game aren't produced sexually that this doesn't happen. But I thought all Yoshis were female?
I don't know how Nintendo will ever explain it. Oh well.
I was long overdue for a zombie comic. Why not start with the best zombie game out there, Dead Rising.
Sure, shooting zombies is cool, so is hitting them with a frying pan or baseball bat. What's better though is judo throwing them or disemboweling them or slapping servebot masks on several of them and taking a choice photo.
The antics of Frank West were not to be scoffed at and one can only imagine how his special skill set my transfer into his career.
Fez is a great game on the Xbox Live Arcade, albeit it does have a few technical issues, one of them being a very big one.
This might just be an XBLA issue especially because of the cost of releasing additional patches beyond the first 'free' one allowed by Microsoft.
The news is a bit old, but I just learned that the Fez will be coming to Steam. This should make patches easier and those in-game glyphs can be translated now with a quick Google search.
Without giving away any spoilers to the game, there a few items you acquire in addition to the reality shifting fez. Why not add different hats to the mix? It could be amusing. Above are just a few ideas.
Settlers of Catan.
Definitely my favorite board game. It'd be dumb if I limited myself to just video games. Table top games are always a blast and you can play them almost anywhere.
For my people that have played the game, you know how deadly sevens can be. For some reason I always find myself rolling them right when I'm ready for a big move. What's worse is when you're holding just over seven cards; this tends to happen more often when inebriated, but sober me has been known to make this mistake.
Recently I played the six player expansion. It's great to let more people play, but the pace feels a lot faster since everyone is able to build every turn on the extra building phases. Patience is a must with the expansion.
Trials: I never played HD but I did by Evolution and all its DLC. The game is a good time and a great way to burn a few minutes if you're waiting for something.
If you ever play multiplayer on Trials, ALWAYS TURN ON BAIL FINISH. It's the best way to win a race and it could just blast you past the competition...or straight into the ground.
The big news is that Injustice: Gods Among Us came out today. My comic for this amazing game can be viewed here.
A buddy and I stayed up seven hours to finish the campaign and play some multiplayer. Now it's no MVC3, but it's definitely an awesome fighting game that will get a lot of my attention, especially when the DLC characters come out.
So I had some writer's block before coming up with the comic.
The remedy?
YouTube and video game websites.
Egoraptor just uploaded a new PokeAwesome recently, so I found so inspiration from that. There's so many Pokemon that there has obviously got to be some more practical reason to use their unique abilities.
I almost doubled the line width in this comic, and I'm quite pleased with the results. The images stand out a lot more than before, and it's easier to edit lines when they're thicker.
The last panel might have to go on a shirt one day.
Go play the Injustice: Gods Among Us demo. The demo is pretty sweet. It's no MVC3 but the game is pretty solid and a nice change of pace from the over the top Capcom Versus series.
Batman should basically be Scorpion since he has his grapnel gun, except it doesn't work quite the same as Scorpion's hook. Instead, Batman grapple the opponent and lunges toward them much like he does with a ledge. When he grabs an airborne opponent, then he slams them on the ground.
Now as for this comic, I kept it simple: no shading, easy line and small color pallet. It took about just under two hours from conception to final product.
Games weren't so innocent as they seemed.
Mario was eating shrooms, Pac Man has a pill problem and Sonic...well Sonic just can't get enough rings.
I'm trying to practice simplifying the coloring, but it's starting to look a little lazy; this comic only took about two hours from start to finish which is pretty good.
There hasn't been much text lately, but that's something I'm looking to change.
Time to get started on the next comic, but sleep first.
This comic is not about gaming.
So what?
Truth is I had to finish this comic super early because I was in Vegas this past weekend.
If you noticed that this and the previous comic were of simpler style, it's because I had to rush a bit to make sure I had something to post on both days. (I would hate to lose schedule, so I practiced toning back a lot).
This idea originated from high school from one of my friends. It's still one of my favorite phrases to this day.
I'll get back to the games on Friday.
***
Some future plans:
- Create my own characters and story for a comic arc
- Begin filming YouTube videos with my new webcam. I'll be focusing on gaming making timely videos of upcoming releases and significant developments in the gaming industry.
Cheers!
