Even one laser eye can be intimidating, especially with the reflective qualities of white, fluffy snow this time of year. Best be cautious when kitties are chargin’ up their lasers.
We’re Alive
This isn’t exactly game related news, but James and I have checked off a life accomplishment on the proverbial bucket list. On January 13th, we ran our first marathon–that’s 26.2 miles (or 42 kilometers!)–at the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend. Video games and fitness can peacefully coexist, and we’re living proof.
Anticipated
It’s very nice to hear folks are still eagerly awaiting Charlie Murder. Here’s some proof from XBLA Fans and Indie Statik. Charlie Murder has also made it to Portuguese site Rubber Chicken Games’ top 100 anticipated games of 2013.
The Rexecutioner
With the largest and roundest silhouette, Rex is easily the most visually distinct playable character.
Hailing back to somewhere in Eastern Europe, this hulking drummer joined Charlie’s band back in the good old days when they lived in the same apartment complex in Upstate New York. The Rexecutioner’s favorite color is orange. His interests include watching muted cartoon TV with Gogol Bordello blasting in the background and texting pictures of cute, fluffy little animals to everyone on his phone. He may or may not have invested his take from Charlie Murder’s last big record deal into a ring of cat milking farms.
As you may have guessed, Rex received a makeover with the rest of the Charlie Murder crew. He didn’t require as many iterations. His first version to the second was the biggest change. From there, he only required one more very subtle change. The last image is modern day Rex, complete with all his tattoos. Tattoos aside, can you pick out the change?
If you said “he traded his red suspenders for orange”, you are correct! Why the change? You might be interested to know there’s a very interesting and specific, game-changing reason. To find out, you’ll just have to keep watching the blog! We might also tell you if you ask us at this coming PAX East.
Please tell me there will be a special set of charaters to unlock in Charle Murder like characters from other Ska games.
James said that there might be “alternate reality” characters during the wtf is charlie murder with totalbiscuit.
I like your stuff. I’m sure this game will be just as great as Dishwasher and Dishwasher: VS. I wonder if you guys ever considered making a Dishwasher comic or manga. ’cause I’d buy that, for serious. Probably twice.
It definitely will be. Looks like Charlie Murder is the biggest project Ska has worked on. If you want to see how the game is coming along take a look at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTinGmiAnpk And is there really a super specific reason for the suspender change or are you guys just teasing us?
@shelIdragon I encountered a strange problem with the log in with Facebook/Twitter thing. Whenever I click on one of them a window pops up saying that the webpage is not available. Maybe it’s just a problem on my end, but I just think you guys should know just in case it isn’t.
@Michelle Nice! I’ve been running since I was in elementary schools, so guess I’ve been doing it for about ten years of my life. I’m seventeen now. My friends and I used to race each other all the time and practice parkour before we even knew it was an actual thing. We still do. I haven’t had the chance to do a triathlon and the closest thing to an obstacle race I’ve ever done is parkour, But from what I’ve heard they’re pretty intense and look like a ton of fun. It’d be great if you would describe what the obstacle race was like for you. Oh, and hooray for fitness.
That’s a interesting look into Rex. By Interesting I mean strange and a little creepy. Anyways, congrats on making it onto the lists. CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!
Wow, 26 miles. I’m impressed. I’m a runner myself and I usually run 10 miles per week. I also do parkour. Last even I attended was the Jingle-Bell Jog here in New York City about a month ago. Didn’t know you guys are runners. You guys are the epitome of cool in my eyes, but knowing that you guys run makes you even cooler.
I was at that marathon! You should’ve announced that you were doing it. Would’ve been great to meet you guys.
@Celey Oh noes! We were tweeting about it a bit but didn’t think to post about it here. If you saw a Princess Leia and Han Solo running it, that was us! A friend also ran as Luke with us. 🙂
@xpunkmikex Thanks! We’ve been into running for a year and a half now and I’ve been into triathlons and obstacle races. Fitness is important :>
I didn’t know those kinds of events happen at Walt Disney World. I wish i was there.
