Skinny at Barkingfridge is at it again, but this time rather than give us a dossier he uploaded this parody song. I’ve never heard the original but I enjoyed this. Warning though, it does have some language so it’s not kid safe.

Very Graphic Novels have set out a press release (WHICH YOU CAN VIEW HERE)
about the new comic they are launching via Kickstarter. You really should give the video on their kick starter a look. Kung Fu action in a post apocalyptic zombie world with beautiful art, an energetic british writer, and the chance to have your name printed in the back as a supporter.
With 12 days to guy they have 81% of their goal, and I encourage you to go over give it a look and if you have some cash, this looks looks fun and professional enough to fund! -revsears
You can check out the IGN wiki HERE and my work is spread through out but includes, Duke, Barrel Roll, DDP, Comic Oddities and plenty more. Of course I’m not the only one who worked on those entries, but at least other than Duke, I started those entries and did the majority of the work on them.
I found their wiki layout really smooth and easy to use. It was my first time editing a wiki but their was a prize on the line so I put in a few hours, sometimes just adding trivia to existing characters others just creating an unfleshed out stub using the suggest format so that others could fill in, but i loved getting into details as much as possible.
I ended up being a winner, and the wiki contest and the wiki itself were announced months ago but i hesitated to mention it on here as it took well past what the rules stated to find out who the winners were, and then even longer to receive prizes. I have no idea if this was the usual for IGN, but the silence went on long enough I haven’t bothered to continue editing, although I’m really thankful for the prize, and now that it’s cleared up might resume doing so. I wonder if something else was going on in the background? I know IGN was bought out this year.
Whatever the reason, the slow experience might give you pause if your after a prize, but the wiki contents are great and it’s not to late to keep making it interesting.

They say it comes in threes, and this week I know of three deaths in a short time. Tom Clancy, an amazing author referenced above, Sam Petrucci a long time and skilled G.I.Joe packaging artist, and a less “nerdy” figure from outside of entertainment, influential author and pastor Chuck Smith. Prayers and thoughts for all their families.
James Farr, the man who brought you the excellent Ghostbusters/Mario mashups, is back with a new TMNT/Mario mash up. Check it out below. If you played the original TMNT game for Nes you will recognize some frustrating things from the game, and keep your eyes peeled for some street signs too. -revsears
Skinny and his cohorts have continued to work on the G.I.Joe dossiers, and in case you miss this one (forgive my slack in sharing it, life has been busy) check it out below. It’s also worth nothing they were on kickstarter, unfortunately they were not funded as hoped. Those outfits aren’t cheap, and the time involved is valuable too, here is hoping something works out in the future.
Skinny has been keeping us update to on our forums HERE.
I’ve also added a memes and DYK? Images category that you click to access all like this.
Similar to the series I introduced yesterday, only this one has a template purely for Joe. Let me know what you think! Once I have gotten the template the way i want it, i’m smelling another contest!
Update: For more info on the potential comics check out YOJOE.COM, specifically HERE. -revsears
