Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: Once Upon a Pixel photo

Just us and some kids, hanging out. Doing our thing. Listening to a story.

I'm really quite proud of this episode, though a lot of that is due in part to the fact that I had almost nothing to do with it outside of the editing and basic scripting. Most of whatever enjoyment you derive from this episode can be blamed directly on one Ashley Davis.

Who is a bitch.

ZOMG SPOILERZ. *runs around knocking trash cans over*. Great job, someone else said once upon a pixel could be a HAWP spin off and I agree.

Man, both Ashly and Ashley are bitches? You certainly make a habit of hanging out with bitches, Anthony.

P.S. Loved the episode.

Embed the gametrailers video you hit mongering heathen! ;D.

Great video, but in all honesty I hate seeing "I would bang that DUDE LOL" every time I watch these.

Remind me to never eat while I watch these vids ever again. *shakes clogged windpipe* :(

Absolutely hilarious. I haven't seen all of the HAWPs but this was certainly the best ever (so far).

If it didn't have Ashley's art, then it'd only have been half as good. I smell a future career as a schoolteacher/children's book artist. XD

Ashley's Cyborg Ninja is the most adorable thing I have ever seen.

Someone please tell me this artwork is posted online somewhere.

I saw this on the GT main page last night and got super excited. I can spot a Davis illustration from a mile away. Amazing work as always, Ashley.

I can't say I enjoyed that one, at least for a HAWP. Standing on it's own it was good though.

@wanderingpixel: I use OpenCanvas. It's a great little program for illustrating.

Also, thank you everyone! The drawings are not uploaded to the 'net yet, but I'm working on getting some high res versions up very soon!

Ashley Davis has to be one of my favorite internet artists out there. she's awesome.

Great work to everyone involved.

Yeah Davis you should totally consider drawing and narrating other games in videos even without the hawp stuff. I think it would be really big hit.

Halflife done in Davis drawings with Davis narration would be amazing!
Think about it!

I had to stop the video half way through because I'm just playing through Metal Gear Solid for the first time. And I have to say, this game is fucking awesome!! It's a steal at $10.
