OH HO HO! poop.
Have you guys played Uncharted 3 yet? It’s pretty good, I have to hand it to Naughty Dog, they have the stuff together when it comes to having believable animated characters. HEY REST OF THE GAMES INDUSTRY (Bethesda I’m specifically looking at you.) UNCHARTED IS HOW YOU ANIMATE BELIEVABLE CHARACTERS IN GAMES. And before you all scream AAAAAHH IT’S MO CAP. Yes I know the body stuff is mo cap, but the faces are animated by REAL animators. So you lose a lot of the uncanny valley. Kudos Naughty Dog, you guys make an awesome game.
Happy thursday!
The best snack is Goldfish but once I open the bag I don’t stop eating until I’m trying my best to lick the crumbs at the bottom of the bag like a dog… Or fruit snack gummi’s, I like those too.
Nice touch with the worm (if that is a worm)
yep it’s a worm and thanks!
Personally Cheese-itz are the snacks i cant stop eating… delicious bastards
*Facepalm* Oh you.
*Sad Trombone*
Making my way through Fallout New Vegas (finally). I’ll get back to you in a few weeks.
ugh… tell me you played fallout 3 before…
Yeah I did. Sunk a good chunk of my life into that game.
Not gonna lie, it took me a sec to actually get this one =P
no worries. it was a creeper…
Naughty Dog have always had their shit together.
Uncharted 1,2,3 are massive hits in Japan too, but because of the voice-overs the lip-synching doesn’t match at all, kinda weakening the impact of amazing facial animations. Luckily you can switch it back to English like Dead Rising 2.
Also fuck the parts with the rooms of spiders. Not so much a spoiler, more a warning to get a new pair of pants ready on standby.
yeah… THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!
LOL. I really like the direction the comics have been going lately. Great stuff mang.
thanks dude!

I’d prefer to stick to the other side of the uncanny valley until everything is better done, honestly. Extra Credits just did a piece on it, worth checking out (all their stuff is).

For me, the attractiveness of a game is from the gameplay and design… eye-candy comes later, and short of being eye- or stomach-annoying terrible (Headphone Jack i’m looking at you) the graphics are largely incapable of ruining a game.
oh man! Thanks for introducing me to Extra Credits I just spent all morning watching their vids AWESOME STUFF!!! I love this one the best though…

The art in it is meh, but the idea is awesome!!!
wow, that was really, really cool. You’ve just gained an order of magnitude on the coolness scale.
As a very broke individual the very least I can do is to link people who do awesome things to one another in the hopes of sharing the amazingly awesome free entertainment with everyone who benefits.
Also, yes, Extra Credits is honestly one of the best sources for level-headed discussion of gaming industry, mechanics, meta, etc. They’re fucking amazing.
Oh Naughty Dog. I remember the days when the only Naughty Dog game I played was the Crash Bandicoot series. Seems like a lifetime ago. But in Bethesda’s defense, no one else makes a free roam rpg like they do. That and Skyrim comes out in 14 hours (it’s around 10 pm here in SE Asia and western games come out at noon XD) and I’ve resolved to put all other games aside to play it.
Oh and this is my first time posting here (found my way from Nerf about a month back) and I gotta say… I love your comics! Though it did take me a while to get today’s punchline…
lol thanks dude! I’m glad you’re enjoying the comic!
My friends and I have a similar joke, we giggle whenever someone says do do. As in “Why yes, I do do physics… hehehe, do do”
heh do do…
Yes, I’ve picked up Uncharted 3, and have been playing it obsessively since the day it came out. I find it amazing that they were able to improve the gameplay and graphics even further from their previous installment.
Also, love your “classy” style of humor. 😉
only the finest poop jokes here…
Brother man. You want to talk about well animated characters in video games WITHOUT mocap, you talk about Valve games. And you talk about them well.
I haven’t been enjoying uncharted 3 all that much. I assume I’m about halfway through….I liked 2 better.
PS. on a completely unrelated note to good animation, OBLIGATORY SKYRIM EXCITEMENT
NO ERIC I DON’T WANNA TALK ABOUT VALVES AMAZING TEAM OF ANIMATORS. Or how they manage to make every “meet the” video better than the last with rigs that are low poly. I don’t wanna even discuss how they can make us feel for ROBOTS. I DON’T WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT.
oh not to discredit Uncharted 3’s animation. I have a buddy whos an animator over there. they do nice and they do nice well!
give them a nice little “how’s your father” the next time you see them…
Took me a few minuttes to get the punchline, but had a really good laugh when I did.
Priceless 😀
Keep making this awesome comic!
Butt Honey.. isn’t that from the same company that puts asscracks on plumbers?
