Help a brotha out!

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Fellow webcomicker and all-around-nice-guy Joe Dunn (and Phillip Chan, and Irvsher Fabor) have a new project, and it needs your help.  Their new comic is up for voting at Platinum Studios.

From Joe:

We’re still really proud of the vampire/werewolf/zombie story with the guy that cures people when he gets bitten, but unfortunately the current stage of the competition is based on Internet votes, so it has become a contest not of how good your story is, but of how many friends you have that are willing to click a vote button all day.

This does not bode well for us as A) we’re terrible at marketing our products and B) I hate to bother people. Seriously. If people take time out of their day to read my crappy comics then I owe them something, not the other way around. I always feel really awkward asking for help. But if you like the idea please vote. As many times as you can. Bless your hearts.

Well, you heard the man.  Go vote for him as much as you can!

8-Bit Awesomeness

I loves me some 8-bit music.  Chiptunes.  Check it out.

BLIP FESTIVAL: REFORMAT THE PLANET is a feature length documentary which delves into the movement known as chiptunes, a vibrant underground scene based around creating new, original music using old video game hardware. Familiar devices such as the Nintendo Game Boy and Nintendo Entertainment System are pushed in new directions with startling results.
