Good morning boys and girls...
Nov. 19th, 2008 12:04 pmIt's link dump time once more, because I should be working.
First off, several Let's Play threads of interest.
Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath (video format with commentary). It starts out as a sort of steampunk/technopunk Western setting with bounty hunting and flips to something entirely different about two thirds of the way through. Very nice.
Kaizo Mario World (video with commentary). The game is an insanely hard Mario rom hack, apparently created by the same minds behind the creators of Call of Cthulu. It is played by and narrated by several people, and it's very entertaining to hear their descents into madness.
Animal Crossing (screenshot and artistic format, recontextualized commentary). This LP takes the peaceful game of Animal Crossing and develops it into the terrifying tale of young Billy and the many horrors he encounters during his forced vacation in a seemingly innocent summer camp. I would not recommend reading this one right before bed.
Now, for webcomics. I highly recommend The Adventures of Dr. McNinja. It is the story of a doctor who is also a ninja and the complete and utter madness that occurs in his world, with just the right touch of actual drama and serious content to make it more than silly martial arts wankery. Seriously, just read it, it's awesome.
