SlugTrails: Lets Players and Gaming Fan Works

*Tunes of the Day: Back to the Beginning- Kirby Krackle*

All right, I’ll admit it, this is coming completely last minute. Some things came up this week, and two articles I had planned next are taking a wee bit longer then planned. I even tried to do something really short, but it isn’t happening. So, another Slug Trails, yay!

Oh shoosh.

So, on with today’s topic: Games

I'm a little obsessed with video games. But I royally suck at them. I don’t have much talent for it, I don’t have the money to buy them. So to feed my obsession, I watch lets plays and walkthroughs. And I feed it even more with the many game related fan works. So I thought I’d share my obsession a little!

It should also be said that the majority of these are MATURE.

SlugTrails: Webcomics

Hellooo everyone! It's been a while since we've had one of these right? To those unfamiliar or have forgotton, SlugTrails is a segment where I post a bunch of links around a certain subject. It was planned as a way to post something when I didn't have time to post an article. It got dropped do to hiatusness, but now its back. And, considering what i've been working on lately, we're talking about WEBCOMICS!

My Reactions to New 52 Wonder Woman

 

Not an indepth article, but my actual reactions to the issues. Trust me. This made my rage much more comprehensible... it think.

The Voodoo That Won't Do (Sexism and Feminism in the New 52/ Voodoo Review)

Any innuendoes are completely unintentional. Really.

(Also, mature rating. Seriously. Not for kids. The picture has cleavage. When have these drawings ever had cleavage?)

A message to Marvel about Gary Friedrich

Yeesh, I seem to be using my sites for Art news and political stuff more then actual product lately. Things are coming, soon, but there is something much more important that has captured my attention at the moment: Marvel vs Gary Friedrich.

I'll let you read the whole situation here: http://www.comicsbeat.com/2012/02/10/help-gary-friedrich-new-donation-site-set-up/ and just leave my own response to the issue:

Dear Marvel: this is sick, beyond recognition. Not only because you cheated a pioneer of the old days out of his only income, but that you actually thought you could get away with it, without anyone noticing. We're not stupid, Marvel. You have you're lovely money-making company because of creators like these, and fans like us. You have insulted us both.

SOPA PROTEST CONTINUES

Didn't expect this to be my first post of the year but... for those that haven't been able to peek about the internet, Wikipedia and several other sites have blackout today in protest to SOPA and PIPA! (I can't because I suck at HTML and can't get the stupid widget to work)

If you haven't yet, I urge all of you to head to http://fightforthefuture.org/ or http://americancensorship.org/. You can read up on the acts, sign petitions and even talk to you're Senators about the bills.

This protest has been huge! The news is lighting up today about the protest and it's great to see some good coverage of the bill. Several supporters have already withdrawn support. Obama has already spoken out against the bill, and shelved it. But it hasn't been vetoed yet. In February, the bill is suppose to be back with a few edits applied.

Thanks to everyone who's been working so hard!

Seeya,
