30 Day Video Gamer's Challenge - Guilty Pleasure Game: Kingdom Hearts I & II

Whoops! I forgot I was doing this...oh well, I'll just make a few consecutive posts...Sorry in advance for the spammage.


The story got convoluted very quickly, there are way too many (original) characters, there was so much androgyny that I'm not surprised about the slashfics, and why are there so many f*ckin' zippers!?
BUT! I liked the gameplay, I'm a fan of the both worlds and it's cool to see them cross over. Plus, Mickey is the only exception on design because he looks pretty badass in that hoodie.

30 Day Video Gamer's Challenge - Underrated Game: Psychonauts


Shame on you if you haven't played this game. SHAME ON YOU!!! This game is fun, funny, original, and very approachable. You can give this to a non-gamer and they would have fun. Plus, the guy who voiced Raz also voiced Zim!
Fanart of this soon...it takes a while for me to digital paint


HONOURABLE MENTION:
BEYOND GOOD & EVIL




Shame on you if you haven't played this either. SHAME!!! This game is just as fun. It had a lot of gameplay and the main character was Jade, a respectable, empowering female rather than some big-tittied, half-naked broad.

30 Day Video Gamer's Challenge - My Favourite Character: Super Mario



Going mainstream with this one. I mostly like Mario because before him, video games was nothing but a dying trend. Then the NES was released and Miymoto used Mario (and Luigi) to help video games be more than a trend and started to make video games a viable form of entertainment. Worldwide, he's almost as recognizable as Mickey Mouse!
Plus, he's obviously a nice guy (and nice guys finish last, if at all). Always saving the princess yet he still doesn't get any? And, suspiciously, there are always little kiddie Koopas being fired out when Bowser captures her? huh? *wink* *wink*

Also, I want to do a piece of fanart for each of my 30 Day choices so here's a preview of Mario:

30 Day Video Gamer's Challenge - Very First Video Game: BASE WARS



I'm pretty sure this is the first game I ever played because I remember playing at this an age so young that I didn't know how to read yet.

This game was fun. You can steer the ball when you pitch and if the runner met with a baseman with the ball, there would be a one-on-one robot battle! And if you didn't have the robot with the gun arm, you were screwed!

Unfinished Business

So the first year of Animation at Seneca is over and due to my poor time management I have a bunch of half-assed work I would like to put my full ass in to.

Speaking of which, here's my first demo reel...



...yup. It's cheesy, it's humorous, it's the way I like it.


Here's some stuff that I plan on finishing up during the first part of the break:






...and anything else that would look good in the yearbook that's coming up.

There's also stuff from the weekly challenges that I didn't get to do because of my said poor time management skills: Team Fortress 2 cast as females, redesigning a video game character, and something else I can`t remember (if you're reading this and have the list of the weekly challenges, please remind me of it).
So I'll be getting to that, too.

Lastly, Riggs just finished this 30 day Video Gamer's Challenge on Facebook and this made me realizedI don't have a favourite video game character or a favourite game of all time and for some reason that bothers me. So I'm thinking of giving that a shot soon.

That's it. Let's see if I can do this.
