Man, This Place is Dusty...

Hey there, readers!...Hello? ECHO! Hehehe, that's fu-JESUS CHRIST, YOU SCARED ME! Well, uh, since you're here, I'm guessing you were a reader of this comic at one point or another. Yeah, sorry, we've all been preoccupied one way or another, so we haven't updated in almost 3 weeks now. But, since you're here, we've updated! So, uh, tell your friends we're back and stuff...

Our latest update yet!



Readers, oh most patient readers. We know we've treated you wrong. We left you hanging last week, starving for an update. We sincerely hope this isn't too little, too late. And in our slight efforts to apologize, we're giving you a double update. So, from the very bottom of our collective heart, we are sorry.

Hope you enjoy!

Oops, we took a break.

Hey folks, sorry for the super late post. Things have been kinda crazy around here with the start of the Holiday season. I promise a new comic to you soon. But in the interim I wanted to talk to you about something. If you're like me (a scary thought but bear with me) you grew up playing and loving Sonic the Hedgehog. Those games were SWEET! Fast, fun, challenging and beautifully designed. If you're like me you stuck it out through the not so great times (cough 3D blast cough) and were rewarded with some really fun games for your loyalty (i.e. Sonic Adventure 1 & 2) but even the most hardcore sonic fan, by which I mean the real long term fans not these new fanboys and fangirls drawing their crappy fan-characters (loosely veiled furry porn), anyway the real fans must admit Sonic has been in a bit of a slump lately. Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic Unleashed, Sonic and the Black Knight . . . these games punched my fanhood in the kidneys but there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Project Needlemouse! Finally after what seemed like decades Sonic 4 was going to be released. I was so excited I damn near wet myself. I couldn't wait for the fast-paced multi-tiered level exploration. I predicted a triumphant return to 2D side-scrolling for Sonic. Then it was released. I could see what the game was trying to be, see it's potential but it was, at best, a misfire. I won't go into everything I thought could have been improved because I am happy to say that Sega is addressing it. Let it not be said that they are a company who is deaf to the cries of their fanbase. Don't believe me? Check this out http://www.sonicstadium.org/articles/2010/11/the-sonic-show-56-live-from-sega-of-america/ So that's pretty sweet. A gathering of truly passionate Sonic fans voicing their concerns and ACTUALLY being listened to. But also there's more good news, two new games that I am excited to play and have received rave reviews. I speak of course of Sonic Free Riders for the Xbox Kinect and Sonic Colours for the Wii. Sonic Free Riders is THE ONLY game I am interested in playing for the Kinect and Sonic Colours has me wetting myself! http://www.youtube.com/user/SegaAmerica?v=iADRc4n0PJ8&feature=pyv&ad=6348050153&kw=sonic%20free%20riders

A Challenger Appears!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen (but more for the ladies), we are updating! Now I know you're all probably heading towards your toilets by now to shit bricks, but please bear with us for a moment longer. We're going to update every week! Next week we'll continue with the actual comic, but the week after that will be another brilliant piece of, "artwork." Thanks for reading!

The Skinny

Alright ya'll here's the skinny, I know you're all peeing your pampers with anticipation over the next "D-Pads and Joysticks" comic, far be it from me to tell you to stop, but I want to make sure you all know how this is gonna play out. We're planning on starting off with Bi-weekly comics (I'll pause to let our more mature readers giggle at the word "Bi") updated on Mondays or late Sundays. In between we may have posts to talk about random stuff but the comics should be every other Monday. If the comic get's popular enough and we can find the time we may look at changing it to a weekly thing but for now just look at it as another paycheck, that you can cash into laughter. Awwwwwwwww! Thanks folks.

So it begins...

Hello, Earth, and welcome to the first edition of "D-pads and Joysticks." I'm Ben, and along with co-creators Doug and Aaron, I would like to say that we are so glad you could join us on this monumental occasion. The other day we were sitting around the butter-churn when Doug said "You know what hasn't been done before? A comic on the interweb!" to which Aaron replied "What if we made it about nerds and videogames?" and so the comic was born. We hope you enjoy, and tell your friends, your family, and people you awkwardly make eye-contact with on the street. Thanks for visiting and stay posted for future updates, coming soon.
Sincerely,
The Guys.
