For all the talk about video games supposedly only playing with friends over the internet in multiplayer, the mobile game Pokémon Go is planning to convince fans to play together in person via a series of meetup events with special items. The goal is for players to explore together and find new event-exclusive Pokémon and items. First the game gets players out of the house and exploring (which has been a good thing depending on where players roamed) and now they get them playing together. It’s like video games aren’t such a bad thing after all.
Better late than never, right?
I was hoping to have this up on Christmas but all the dental work and pain medication threw my schedule off. So here it is, just under a month late.
Meat Deanna, an elf who really loves her Christmases white. But what happens when she finds some prefer theirs green, or even brown, when the Snowbringer comes with the gift of a white Christmas? Find out as this (last) year’s Captain Yuletide and Bryce The Green-Nosed Reindeer find themselves…”Between Snow And Sand!” Click the cover image to read the issue.
And I’m hoping this year I have the next issue done…THIS year. I already have my plot and elf choice ready.
This week was crunch time getting it done. I did some work on the Comic Re-Integration Project, which will now be my focus so I can get that done. This week I have more dental work to do, depending on how I’m healing from the surgery but signs were promising on my last visit, and then that should be done too. Then I can start working on videos and more importantly finding a job or other income source without any more distractions. I also want to work on my next comic. Jake & Leon returns next week, but I’m hoping to do more than Christmas comic books, digital or otherwise, and that will be my next comic-related project.
Otherwise this week I want to do another Finally Watched and another He-Man newspaper strip review, plus we have the Friday Night Prize Fight that I hope I’m awake enough to participate in after the dental work.
Trypticon as a weird diet.
Like they did with the first chapter of the Prime Wars Trilogy, Combiner Wars, Hasbro has posted the first two episodes of Titans Return to their YouTube channel, with the rest (at least for US viewers) exclusive to Go90. Since there are spoilers for Combiner Wars you may want to watch that first. Hasbro posted that to their YouTube channel already and was a previous Saturday Night Showcase. This time I’m posting the playlist so perhaps when Hasbro Studios and Machinima are ready to finally bring us Power Of The Primes, the third toyline under the Prime Wars banner, this will end up being the full playlist.

It’s rare that I find myself reading a comic where this is always the first screen you get when you visit the site.
This one is going to be a bit different from the webcomics I usually promote here at BW Media Spotlight due to the subject matter. So if you find anything in that warning disturbing you may want to come back tomorrow for something else or look around the site for something you might like. However, note that if I’m promoting this in Internet Spotlight it’s a comic worth checking out.
Also this comic involves anthropomorphic animals, also referred to as “furries”. If THAT bothers you, this won’t be for you either. But I bet some of you are curious as to how you can do a frank discussion on child abuse with “funny talking animals”. It actually might be the best way to cover this story.
T. Rodriguez’s Forest Hill doesn’t make light of this topic, nor it is for “shock value”. And there is also more to the comic than that, as Rodriguez has created an interesting mythos outside of the subject matter involving “Man” and their relation to this world. Humans do not appear anywhere in this story. The comic ends up the better for it and it’s approach to the subject, while not what Rodriguez had planned when he started, is pretty much where it should be. But this is probably not a comic for most kids.
