Ladies and gentleman, I am a demented pervert. You all should know that by now, really. If you still need further proof of the above statement, look at the picture. See it? I just about died laughing when I first saw it.
This weeks Comic Intermission comes from Digital Unrest. The artist, Chris Simmons, actually has a whole series of Wiilestation (LOL! I INVINTED A NEW WORD!!1!). The awkward silence, the fear in the game characters eyes, and the pure joy on the main protagonists face is just beautiful.
It was September 16, 2005 and Nintendo had just unveiled the "Revmote" at the Tokyo Game Show. The interwebs were aflutter with the resultant chatter of gamers everywhere. Not being a man of the written word, I put mouse to pad and sketched my own prediction for Nintendo's visionary control paradigm. The result: a nameless, pantsless young man - that disturbing facet of us all which enjoys shooting crotches in Goldeneye or photographing butts in Metal Gear Solid - taking interactivity to unforseen levels.
To get a better idea of how the comic started check out this page. Then check out the origins of how pantsless man became ... pantsless man.
The comic also explores other dark aspects to gaming as well. For instance, have you ever wondered what Bowser does to his kids when they're not working? Or what terrorist dirt bags think of when playing Tetris. There are some moments of highbrow comedy too (poor Vectorman).
Chris had some issues with his old web host (HEY! Just like us!) so he had to jump ship. He hasn't updated his archives on the current site with some of his older strips which had a majority of his Wiilestation strips. So by all means, go flood his old site too! (Go add him on Myspace while you're at it).
(Chris, I'm sorry if the smack jeeves site gets locked up again. I had to do it. Coming from one procrastinator to another, this is going to help you update your archives. And on that note, sorry everybody this is a little late. I was ... procrastinating).
