Episode 13 - Comics2Games2Comics

That's right son, we made our bi-weekly goal. Yes, I know. We rock.

You know who else rocks? Jeff "Chamba" Cruz, the artist on the new Street Fighter II Turbo Comic.

Our first words cover what we have been playing, co-op in games, more 2D talk and why American entertainment studios hate the rest of the world and why Australia has lost its mind.

Our main topic is then the translations of comic properties to games, and game properties to comics. I know, a topic we are qualified to talk about. Wild eh? We call out ones we like, and where a lot of them go wrong. We also talk about how comics are probably doing it better than games, at least as far as the art goes. Let us know what games we missed, and what properties you think could work and why?

Then we finish up the show doing a critique of listener Derek Kent's animation. You can watch the animation to follow along with our crit HERE.

Mikebear looks sad! Don't be sad, Mikebear, for you have wings. You can fly anywhere you want, even happy places!

Wicked show. Like you said, you had the right people to talk about video game/comic adapations and the new segment was spot on and very useful.

Also, a murrsona is just a combination of the word 'fursona' (someone's anthropomorphic avatar) and 'murr' (a kind of horny purr sound). It's just an amusing term I've seen a few furries use that tongue-in-cheek mocks furries tendancy to create their own lexicon for everything.

Wow, so it's both horny AND mocking?! Sounds like a perfect fit for us. Consider me on the murrsona bandwagon. Murrrrr baby. Murrrrr.

"Murrsona" sounds kinda cool. I think my new Murrsona is an Owlbear (I don't remember what I said on Ep. 6. A Werewolf, was it?) That way I can simultaneously get geek cred from the D&D crowd and the furries.

I'm pretty sure Gary Gygax was hungover when he came up with the Owlbear. I mean, a hyena-rhinoceros would've been kind of kickass. But Owlbears were just lazy.

Mike must play metal gear 4, there is no choice. He MUST. As an animator, as an artist, as a flying bear, he must!

On the side note, cool show :D

Hahah, Mokku, once I get a PS3, which might happen this summer, I will definitely give MGS4 a shot. One of the other animators at work is a GIANT MGS-head so I am sure once I get the system he will have the game in my grubby paws within seconds.
