Oh I’m Thankful Alright…
I'm forever thankful that a movie like Over The Top actually exists. Hope you all enjoy a good meal on this Thanksgiving holiday that rivals John Grizzly's steady diet of cigars and motor oil.
How about you? What are you thankful for?
I-Mockery’s 2011 Secret Santa Event Sign-Ups Have Begun!
Hey guys, just a quick ho-ho-ho-head's up for ya today. Our annual Secret Santa event on the forums has just begun, so if you'd like to participate in some good old fashioned holiday gift giving (and receiving) with other I-Mockery members, be sure to sign up in the thread! The earlier you sign up, the better... especially if you're a relatively new user since there are some verification steps you'll have to go through. And yes, if you live outside of the U.S. you can still participate in the event, no problemo. Furthermore, if you participated last year, all you have to do is follow the simple sign-up procedure and you'll be in. As usual, I'd like to extend a big thanks to 10,000 Volt Ghost for helping keep the event organized this year.
The deadline for signing up is Thursday, November 24th, so hop to it!
I-Mockery Game On The Simpsons!
Somebody in our message forums just let me know that in a recent episode of The Simpsons called "The Food Wife", Homer and his kids went to the E4 convention to check out all the latest games. Obviously a spoof on the E3 Expo, upon their arrival, they see a variety of upcoming games such as Guts of War III, World of Krustcraft, Dig Dug: Revelations, and more. But check out what other game they had on display:
Yes indeedy, they included the Human Centipede parody game that we made! You can even see the little white Dr. Heiter at the bottom of the screen shooting up at the centipede. Of course, they couldn't show a close-up of the gameplay as I'm sure it wouldn't fly with the ratings board, but it's still pretty cool to see that one of their writers likes what we're doing.
Good news like this almost makes me want to do the Bartman. (more...)
Abobo’s Big Adventure: The Official Trailer!
[Click here to watch in full resolution]
Crank your speakers up, batten down the hatches, and buckle your safety belts - the official trailer for our Abobo's Big Adventure game is finally here! I'm almost as excited about the release of this trailer as I am about the upcoming release of the game itself. This trailer gives me chills every time I watch it. CHILLS! It must be because it's like seeing the culmination of a project that we've worked on for years and years... and now the release of our big game is right around the corner. Make no mistake about it - this is the biggest project we've ever worked on and it's everything we dreamed of having in a single 8-bit NES-style game. I hope it really shows in this trailer.
Speaking of the trailer, I have to extend a huge thanks to my good friend Brad Webb. Without him, this extremely professional trailer would've never happened. We wanted to make this a trailer worthy of the Abobo name, and Brad absolutely delivered. Now I owe him an expensive dinner... I sure hope he likes In-N-Out Burger.
Watch it once. Watch it twice. Watch it a thousand times. Please help spread the word, because this is a free game made by the fans for the fans, and soon you'll all get to play through the entire thing. All hail Abobo!
Halloween 2011: The Aftermath.
So Halloween has come and gone and I had another fantastic time celebrating my favorite day of the year by going out trick-or-treating with the chums you see pictured above. While I'm now recovering from the past two months of nonstop Halloween madness, and preparing to wrap up a certain huuuuge game whose titular character kinda rhymes with "Robohobo" (which sounds like an awesome sequel to Robocop, doesn't it?), I thought I'd share with you some photos from our October 31st trick-or-treating adventure. So continue after the jump to see all the pics for one last dose of Halloweeny goodness. (more...)
Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeen!
Monday be damned! Who cares if it's the start of the work week, for tonight we honor the dead by going to the homes of complete strangers and confiscating their sugary treats. And if you're not going trick-or-treating, that's perfectly fine... you can always your own personal Halloween party with an all-night horror movie marathon. Whatever rattles your bones.
As you can see above, Re and I already celebrated Halloween in style over the weekend; I dressed up as Skeletor and she made an awesome costume inspired by Dia de los Muertos. What was cool is that our colors ended up matching, so I just told everybody she was Skeletor's bride. I'm sure this comes as a shock to all of you, cuz after all these years I thought for sure Skeletor would've ended up with Evil-Lyn, but no... he dumped her for Re. Good choice, me thinks. Speaking of our outfits, I have to send another huge thank you to 80sTees for their support and for sending me the Skeletor costume. As you can see, it's pretty much the best Skeletor costume out there, and I'm sure I could walk into Snake Mountain and fool all of his minions into beliving I was the real deal. Well... Beast Man would fooled at the very least.
(I was also Frankenstein's Monster. Audrey II approves.)
Over the past two months, we've covered a hell of a lot of Halloweeny material, and I hope you've all enjoyed every gruesome minute of it. Here's a recap of some of the highlights this season:
-We learned important lessons about Ernest Scared Stupid and Troll 2.
-We devoured loads of new Halloween candies.
-We learned never to take a cat on a yacht.
-We visited Monsterpalooza and Halloween Horror Nights.
-We rejoiced upon finding out that there is an official Halloween soda.
-We still never unraveled the secrets of Secret Ghostdom.
-We went on the worst Halloween boat ride ever.
-We decided it was best to never buy a cheap Freddy Krueger make-up kit.
-We gouged your eyes out with more greatest horror movie moments.
-We read up on the history of Splatterhouse.
-We splattered your walls with our new Halloween pixel posters.
-We drooled over a coffin full of donuts.
-We laughed at what some people try to pass off as sexy Halloween costumes.
-We witnessed the madness that was the 1987 Joe Piscopo Halloween Party.
This is my absolute favorite time of the year and it always makes me smile to know that so many of you have made I-Mockery your online Halloween home. I really try to give you guys the best and widest variety of Halloween coverage you'll find anywhere online every season - from visiting haunts and reviewing movies, to taste testing candies and tracking down the most absurd novelties and more, I always aim to give you every spooky lil' thing I can get my bony hands on. I'll do my best to keep that tradition going strong.
I'll have some post-Halloween photos and videos to put up on I-Mockery soon too, so don't go anywhere. Once more, I must thank Dr. Boogie and Protoclown for their awesome contributions to our Halloween celebration. Also, a huge thanks to Re for uploading all the Halloween content to the site while I was on tour around the country in September.
Of course, a huge thanks again to you for sticking with us during our annual "Two Months of Halloween" celebration. It's a lot of work to put all this content together, but it's a lot of fun too, and your feedback definitely helps keep our macabre mojo flowing.
Oh, and in case you're wondering about what we're going to be doing once Halloween has passed... let's just say that there's a little project you may have heard of that we'll be putting the wraps on. Not sure what I'm talking about? Okay, how about I show you a special little jack-o-lantern as a hint:
Oh yes, it is happening. It is happening very, very soon.
Please drop a comment (whether you're logged in or not) in our blog and let us know what you thought of the Halloween season and what your favorite articles were. Also, let us know what your Halloween plans are and feel free to post photos of your costumes if you're dressing up!
Thanks again everyone and Happy Halloweeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!
