Quantcast



Here it is. After two weeks of demystifying a program I've never used before, followed by a two-day fistfight trying to convert the video, I am proud, thrilled, horrified, ashamed and (insert a dozen other emotions here) to bring you the very first episode of The Journalism Show, featuring Geraldo Beedog.

This was an unspeakable amount of work, so I hope it turned out okay. Let me know what you think of it. Massive and infinite thanks go out to our very own Ashley Davis, whose kindness and help made it possible to free the video from the prison of my hard drive so that you could actually see it.

Please accept this nonsense as my humble Christmas gift to the Destructoid community.

Seeing as we can't fap frontpage stuff, I think this will suffice.

Haha amazing, I loved all the references to ikaruga and go!go! in beedog's house. The animation was really good and the voices were really good too. The story was good but it could have been better, the dialogue dragged on for a bit too much with nothing really happening in my opinion. Doesn't change the fact that I loved it and can't wait to see more. All in all, I thought it was really good for your first time, remarkable really. Keep at it toph <3 <3

Also wtf sasha is back? YAY!

That is exactly what I imagined Topher's house looked like.

Where can I get a sweet Ikaruga mug like that?

I'm still trying to decided whether that was complete crap or really good...
I really don't understand why a dog/bee is married to a mute woman and refers to her hand puppet cats as their children....
I'll give it a 7/10 and a "good first effort".

The asian wife with cat puppet children, just.... it was pretty great, all I can say.

Beedog having a mustache for his job is awesome too. ><

The Ikaruga mugs were a nice touch.

Topher, are you saying that you and Geraldo Beedog are the same person? I don't believe it. Are you trying to pull a fast one on all your fans?

Time for children to make dance.

p.s. Loved the show immensely.

Very well done sir; everything between content, animation, and voice acting was fan fucking tastic. I can't wait for episode two! I also taught myself Flash in a hurry, (though it was when I was making ends meet as a freelance web/graphic designer) and my first projects didn't look half as good as this.
