Is Good for the Kettle.
( July 3rd, 2008 )
Yesterday Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw from Zero Punctuation panned gaming webcomics.
Source: Zero Punctuation: Webcomics [ more info ] I was asked if I was offended. To answer simply... uh no. I make a living drawing comics that make fun of games, gamers, and gaming companies. Why would I be upset when someone returned the favor? I mean Yahtzee even pokes at himself in the video, effectively applying every fast-paced jab to himself as well. If you ask me it's a really good, traffic generating stunt. Every webcomic-er out there that was offended probably blasted Zero Punctuation and linked the video, driving traffic to Yahtzee's work. And me? I'm linking you guys to the video because I thought it was freakin funny. It's exactly why I've trashed myself in my own comics. So yeah, good on Yahtzee. If you don't know what Zero Punctuation is, please use this opportunity to acquaint yourself with Yahtzee's dead-pan, fast flow reviews/tirades. Sure its the same things we gaming webcomics say in a fraction of the words. But hey, when you're a British guy, living in Australia, trying desperately to ligitamize your existence in the house that webcomics built, you've got to squeeze in as much ranting as you can before we short-attention-spanned-gamers remember that we were watching boobie punching videos on youtube while grinding Elemental Waters to level up our third alt's Enchanting skill before we let ourselves get distracted by a fast-talking stream of simply animated negativity and return to letting ourselves be be distracted by a slow-moving repetition of simply animated time sinks offset by videos of girls thwacking each other in the sweater puppies. See? I can construct a needlessly verbose run-on sentence that's only marginally relevant too. Hello pot. ____________________ Today's Pimpage: The Teapot in today's comic is wearing a black "Kettle" shirt from the Overused Idiom Imporium. [ discuss ] - replies ( 34 ) last post by: TheSatyr 
GU Live via uStream.tv
( April 25th, 2008 )
Were you ever curious as to how I produce the comics? Well, for the last few nights I've been streaming the process live. So, if you're really curious you can watch, ask questions, talk to other folks in the room about what's going on, etc.
You can find the feed (when it's live) and the chatroom here: http://www.gucomics.com/live/ You'll need a uStream account to chat. No worries, it's free. And if you're one of the folks that can get immediate updates via Twitter, I've started using that to announce when a feed is starting. http://www.twitter.com/gucomics I'll keep doing the feeds until it's obvious you guys are no longer interested. It's a pretty good opportunity to see how I work, if you dig that kind of thing. And a chance to ask questions where I can not only answer but show you what I'm doing. I hope you guys get a kick out of it. I tend to start working around 6pm Mountain (GMT-7) the day before the comic is posted. But that time can fluxuate wildly depending on how the gaming news is flowing. [ discuss ]
The GU Store re-Opens
( January 19th, 2008 )
For last year's ConnectiCon, we put together an ample supply of table goodies but could only take so much with us. And the rest I promised to make available to you guys, but I'd need to revamp the GU Store to do it. Well I procrastinated for long enough, now everything is up and running. Hopefully it's all running smoothly as well.
Here's the link: http://www.gucomics.com/store/ Some things to note... We do not handle the tshirts; we have two companies that do that for us. But, we do ship the posters, buttons, stickers, and post cards directly (allowing me to sign some of those items for you, if you want). We use paypal to manage online sales. So, if anything goes wonky... please feel free to blame them. **whistles** Unfortunately, by law, we have to charge Colorao residents state sales tax. Sorry. We have tried to keep all shipping costs reasonable though. I hope you guys enjoy what we currently have to offer. Thanks for your patronage. [ discuss ] |
