That VGC Show - Video Game Chat comic strip (by Alastor and Linkman).




Posted by Linkman

That VGC Show is a comic strip (done mostly with sprites) that Alastor and I do and post in the Spriting Blog. It's pretty popular there, so we decided to make another thread here in the community board so others can see it.

I don't really feel like typing out the details of the comic, but you can get all the info you need (such as origin and cast member details) at our website ([url=http://www.freewebs.com/tvgcs]That VGC Show Website[/url]), which we use to archive the comics we've done. I advise it too, otherwise you maybe confused on what's going on.

The Klarth bashing is hilarious. :cool:




Posted by lameboyadvance

...lol, just remembered that we actually had a VGC sprite comic aaaages ago. It's been so long I'd totally forgotten about it...

...Anyway, great work guys. :)


You should keep updating the post above (or this thread) with future comics.

EDIT: You should shove the original comics up on your site as well, not just just any remakes of them ;)




Posted by Ant

I think a Vampiro apperance is pretty much needed in the next one. And instead of a sprite, just use a small version of his avatar. It'll be hilarious.




Posted by Stalolin

oh ***, I just now noticed this.

Is the "A CHALLENGER APPEARS" a reference to the comic I made? If so, I love you guys.




Posted by The Judge

I want in guyz.

But seriously, I enjoyed them. Nice work.




Posted by Aesthetic

All such good representations of the people themselves! Kudos :cool: The humor's not bad, either.

Quoting Stalolin: oh ***, I just now noticed this.

Sort of. :cool:

The only other option was for him to yell "BOO!", which wasn't very funny.



Posted by jefferey shalome

aw man. we need to spread this around the net. get the attention of a bunch of lugnuts out there like us.




Posted by Alastor

Don't really see the point. It should really only be funny to people who come here, because that's where we get most of the material from. Something happens at VGC, we make fun of it. Simple.




Posted by jefferey shalome

yeah, i guess that does make sense. im just a simpleton and an idiot.




Posted by Poco

I should be the last boss.

I mean i could be mega troll.




Posted by Xenos

I request to be in the next one.




Posted by Alastor

Your chances of ever getting in are a lot higher if you have your own custom sheet. The two of us making sheets for anyone who wanted in old after the second person we did it for. Using unedited sheets is kind of confusing and irritating, because we'll get people asking "lol why is _____ in ur comix". coromoro already uses Isaac from Golden Sun II, despite me making him a full custom sheet. :mad:




Posted by The Judge

Oh come now. Mine shouldn't be ridiculously hard to think of. Just make the typical evil guy with black and red clothes, red eyes, and white hair. Tada. Hell, use Elmdor from Final Fantasy Tactics if you want. Or one of your megaman dudes.




Posted by Alastor

I actually made you a sheet a long time ago, that's... suprisingly similar to what you just described. Since I hadn't used it for anything, I might use it for Vampiro if we decide to cameo him, then edit it if we ever decide to cameo you.

Posted by maian

For the record, making a shole sheet for anybody is incredibly annoying and time consuming. Any decent sprite takes 3-5 minutes each to construct. Making a whole sheet takes a while, and is very tedious.

...So, your own sheets are a plus. :)

PUT ME IN THE NEXT COMIC JERKS




Posted by Iris

Eh, the more people added, the lower the chances of them appearing, right? A few cameos here and there would be okay, but I doubt there'll be much reason for anyone to make an entire sprite sheet. Chances are they'll probably be used only once or twice in filler comics. 9 people seems like more than enough for an online comic anyways.




Posted by Alastor

Plenty. We're not using you (Iris), maian, or Coro right now, which kinda proves we already have enough. That's a good point, though. A couple of poses for cameos would be easy.




Posted by Linkman

that's kinda what makes it fun too. Whenever we decide to use someone who isn't a main character, it usually humors them and others.




Posted by Linkman

NEW COMIC



Enjoy.




Posted by Crazy K

Awesome comic strips dude. You should like add me into a future one. :)




Posted by Zeta

Haha, I was wondering what you guys would do now that Netty is back.




Posted by Kit

Haha, excellent work on these.

Why not make a "meanwhile" comic, to tell what's going on with Maian, Iris and Coro. Just a thought.

Real fans comment in the blog thread.

oh shi-

Realer fans comment in both.




Posted by The Judge

And the standard audience who still wants to see it only come here.

Quoting Alastor:

Alright, Episode 4.4 is out. We rejoin Dexter and Zerostar in this one, as they still search for the true meaning of Grim. This one was really fun to do. Coming up with the text was a blast. So many possibilities. It also gave us another opportunity to use the Shy Guys, which could very easily turn into a running gag in the future. As usual, look for another update in the next couple of days.

We're also trying some new things with the template, mainly because the old one was a pain in the arse to work with. If any of the panels were one pixel off, the whole comic would be uneven. Maybe we're just perfectionists when it comes to that, but with this template we won't have to worry about that.


Lazy'd!



Posted by Zeta

So there's dark versions of everyone, then?




Posted by Linkman

More like completely opposite personality.

Real Klarth = metal loving, popular, and not shy personality
Klarth clone = ...emo




Posted by Iris

Ha. I love the changes to the hair.

Where are Linko and Klarth?




Posted by Alastor

Well, since everyone split up and they weren't in this comic, one would assume they'll be in a future one. ;)




Posted by Ant

OH BOY I CAN'T WAIT!




Posted by Velvet Nightmare

no mention of me on my special day, oh how hurt I am




Posted by Klarth

Laughed hard at the new one. <3 emo nu

It was suggested that we do "Meanwhile..." comics to check in with the cast members who aren't featured in Episode 4: Iris, Coro, and maian. maian's should come soon, but in the meantime, here's coromoro's. Enjoy.

Kudos to anyone who can tell me what the signs say. ;)




Posted by Linkman

Double dose of TVGCS. Can it be true?

Yes..



This is Iris's "Meanwhile..." comic. Also enjoy.




Posted by Stalolin

linkman clearly has a fetish with blowing up/decapitating/destroying the members of da

Both comics got a laugh out of me though.




Posted by Ant

huh, good work on the 2nd one. looks nice.




Posted by Iris

Haha. I knew it had to be done. :cool:




Posted by jefferey shalome

haha, funny!




Posted by Kit

You used my idea. :cool:

Good job on these. Keep it up, etc.




Posted by Alastor

Since I doubt any of you cared enough to have at the Spanish on the signs...

"Agujero en la pared! --->" = "Hole in the wall! --->"
"Adios!" = "Goodbye!", as if that one weren't obvious.
"Ahora salir de Mexico." = "Now leaving Mexico.", or "Now to leave Mexico." since Babelfish sucks.




Posted by coromoro

Oh, man. That one is just hilarious. Good job, guys. :cool:




Posted by Linkman

Bump!

Yeah, we made a new one, FINALLY. It was a couple of days ago. Completely forgot we had a thread about it in the Community Board. So anyway, here it is:





Posted by Alastor

Whoops. Forgot to update this thread again. Here's three new comics.

It snowed here yesterday, which is pretty rare. It snowed between midnight and about 7 AM, then turned in to a wintry mix. Sleet, freezing rain, and the like. The roads were a mess, and there were reports of accidents on the radio like every fifteen minutes. But what did I care? No school! :cool:




Posted by Zeta

Curse you southern states and your overreacting to snow.

*Shakes fist in a mix of anger and jealousy*




Posted by Alastor

Don't blame me that we got totally unexpected weather and caused the world to be destroyed. I couldn't help it.




Posted by Omni

I haven't seen snow in years. It used to be really snowy when I lived in Pennsylvania.




Posted by Alastor

Forgot to update this thread. Again. Blah.

Episode 07 - Part 7 (2-10-07)



Valentine's Day Special (2-16-07)





Posted by maian

lollers

I wish CO schools got cancelled for half an inch of snow. :(




Posted by Alastor

It was more for the frozen roads than anything. It rained and sleeted the night before, and whatever fell had frozen overnight.
