DANK ZINE
Woa! My Dank Zine is really starting to pick up and now I have almost twice as many subscribers! Thank you so much! I have put together a little shop page on my blog where it has all the info except for the info that isn’t there. You can either back my Patreon or buy issues one by one (though you’ll save $$$ with the shipping if you back the Patreon). I will also post up any posters, prints and any special sales of individual work on that page so please check it out!
DANK ART
Chuboh was playing himself in an arcade game called Legionnaires and since I have been following him he’s shaved off his beard & it’s fully grown back already lol. Chuboh plays a lot of fun stuff from very obscure arcades to Amiga games on his stream. I for one am all about more people streaming older Amiga stuff as that was a system I always heard my friends talk about but never really got a chance to experience it for myself. I currently have a very secret collection of old computers though I had to sell off a few to make space in my place. For now, emulation is the best way to go when it comes to most of the classic computer games out there for me.
Trap’s birthday is today! I’m sure he’s 200 years old & only ages once every quarter century due to a special osmosis process that only he and few other people from his home planet are capable of doing. Ok thats not true but what is true is that it is his birthday and I hope he gets roaring dunk & wakes up the next day hugging a trash bin. That’s the sign of a perfect birthday. Now is also a great time to catch Trap streaming because he has been doing a lot of it this past week so if you want to see live streams from actual arcade equipment, Trap’s the one to follow.
Speaking about streaming from actual arcade cabs, MURPHAGATOR finally has a capture coming from his cabs meaning his reign of ghetto-cams are over for now. Murph will be featured in an upcoming issue of my Dank Zine about streaming from Arcade cabs as well as Trap as owning an arcade cab has always been a project/dream in itself for me. I’m sure there are lots of people out there too who want to know more about getting into collecting arcades or who do it already and enjoy reading that stuff.
Goati was playing thru Wonderboy 3 on Sunday when I was catching up on a lot of Dank Art commissions and I sat down and drew him this Dank Lion suit. Goati is featured in an upcoming issue of my Dank Zine where I sit down with him and talk about the Megadrive, Amiga games, Europe and his online Twitch event, Nintendon’t. I participated last year and I hope I can again this year and it’s basically a fun few days of non-stop streams featuring everything that isn’t Nintendo. Registration is up right now so if this is something that you’d like to take part in, please follow Goati and read up on the event on his Twitch page.
Macaw45 has been on a huge building high for a few weeks now exploring such games like A-Train, The Sims & even this adorable garden/dating sim for Japanese Windows 95 called ___. They apparently they made this a lewd dating sim at first but the game proved to be very popular with everyone that they made a “safe” non-lewd version of the game for everyone to enjoy. Funny how that worked backwards. I totally missed the stream where Macaw was playing thru Sim Earth which is one of my top games as a kid but even with a strategy guide open he couldn’t figure it out. I feel like often I am the only person who fully understands how this game works, so I’ll probably show off how to play this game on a upcoming Sunday Stream. Oh yes, there was Smash TV as well,
I personally enjoy it when LordBBH gets a fighting game on Roulette because I enjoy making Dank Art to the fighters the best. I also enjoy all the cute and then more tragically silly elements to a game as well which is why you’ll see Dank Art for those first. I should play up on a few of my fave fighters so if a viewers choice comes up or if he’s taking requests I could suggest some cool games with really cool characters I want to sketch. Out of all my BBH Dank Arts, I have to say I like the Victory Road one the best cause it was rather unexpected and rather amazing.
Collecting
My wall of systems is growing! I recently added a Turbo Duo to my classic console collection as well as finding a really good beater shelf to stick them all on. At least things are starting to look a bit more put together then how it was before. Also a new system means all new games to collect!
This is why if you have been tuning into my streams this 2017 year that I have been playing thru so many PC-Engine games on my emulator as I wished to know which games were going to be worth my money. When it comes to buying games I am mostly just interested in playing them, so I’m not about getting things in sealed packages or original anything. If I can, sure but it’s not important. I should go a bit more into depth with the story behind my Duo over the weekend when I try to play catch up on a few things.
