The only good Patrick is hot dog Patrick. He should stop talking on-camera, he should only stick to wearing that hot dog suit... and maybe selling hot dogs if he wants to.
@Mento: You totally nailed that 90s-ass feeling I was going for! For me, apart from the colour scheme, the real clincher was the triangle wave I put in the background - I wanted it to have the dual effect of aping the "flame" motif while recalling 90s games and fashion. As soon as I put that pattern in there I knew I was at least close to getting the latter right.
No kidding, there are a few peeps I knew/hoped would pick up on the 90s vibe on this one, and you were totally one of 'em. Glad you didn't let me down!
I love that this is something that really happened and not a figment of your imagination. In the future Patrick shouldn't warn the guys when he's going to do it but just walk on set of a video in that again randomly. Just to keep them on their toes.
When I first saw the work-in-progress pics of this, I figured it was supposed to evoke an attitude-riffic fast food mascot of the 90s. Like with "Turbo Dogs" or "Mega Weinerz" written underneath, stamped on paper bags or styrofoam cups full of potentially fatal processed junk. It's awesome either way though.
Actually, the 90s mascot thing easily covers games too. I could see this being the boxart to something like "Proactive Pat-Dog vs. Professor Precarious!" for the Sega Mega Drive.
I don't know why I read that as "Sega Mega Davis".
