I love the idea, but why make it a comic.  This would be awesome tv to replace that dumpy Fake Real World junk, scripted Laguna Beach and stupid OC.  Put it on G4 and I would watch it, take 4 guys and 4 girls.  A girl + boy retro fan, a g+b Xbox fan, a g+b ps2 fan and a g+b Nintendo fan.  Put em all together in one house with one tv, one computer and one game fly subscription.  Oh and each of them has to put their favorite game posters on the wall in the main hall.  But why did the Xbox guy have to be fat!  We are a sickly people but not horizontally enhanced !!  XBOX live gets the heart pumping and gets you standing up and yelling. One rule, no frigging FF, anything.  No posters, no movies with terrible stories, no guys with over compensating swords, no beautiful games with stupid gameplay.

I based the characters off what I think of the consoles designs :P

xbox = big fat and ugly
ps2 = tall and bisexual
gcn = normal :P

if I had the resources to make this into a tv show.. I still probably wouldnt.. I barely want to continue this but I may force myself to do another episode or two...

hopefulyl I could get someone to pick up this and make a flash series out of it :-\

When I think of the GCN I think of cubed and strong (as compared to building drop tests)+ plumbers crack , Xbox simplicity and power, PS2 slim and bisexual (or really short and really fat).  Oh wait forget the retro fan boy make a PC fan boy!

Xbox simplicity and power

I disagree on both terms.

I present to you FanBoy House in 3d!  About an hour and a half in 3DSM and 5 mins in PhotoShop and Tada!  I took some liberties and stole the tree from 3DSM but all the rest I made.  Faired out rather nice I think.  Why?  Because I took a nap today and I’m never going to fall asleep until this Tylenol PM starts working...

Bear with my backup host... its... touchy.

looks like a promessing start. pretty much would like to see how this story would evolve.

the pixel art it self is a bit "oekaki" lokking, rather than carefully placed pixels. I relate it to pixelart more for the lack of AA rather then for the technique used.

anyways, i'd like to see a story comming up

Take care,

hmm, I always thought Nintendo would be more like one of those hello kitty kids who walks around with toys from shows 5 yr olds watch.
