Puyopuyo Giant Bomb

Ok this is take two because my last attempt to post this god borked all the way up. The editor here is... not so great for posting lots of images.

ANYWAYS. I had to do this after seeing the Puyo Puyo Tetris Quick Look. Too great of an idea to pass up. So here's the Giant Bomb crew as Puyo Puyo Tetris characters! You can check out my reply to this post to see some background on the names, which an extra extra special shoutout goes to @pepsiman for helping me with the translation on these. They wouldn't be nearly as funny (or accurate) if it wasn't for him. Enjoy!!

Wow, I have no idea what that text is at the bottom but if I edit anything it'll probably break again so w/e. If a mod wants to try and format it better then please do, by all means.

Some notes I wanted to add on the names. Again, shout out to @pepsiman for helping me translate these into actual jokes and not just my poor-ass direct translations.

• Dr. Tracksuit - His name is actually written as "Tracksuit-hakase", the honorific given in a more professor/scholar-like role. Essentially "Tracksuit, PhD." Though it's inaccurate, (the correct translation being "Tracksuit-sensei") we both thought it was way funnier to imply he actually has some form of professionalism to his... craft.
• Peegbot - Peegs.
• Captain Fuzzy - Literally "Captain Fuwafuwa", the latter half of the name is made to emphasize the cute/fuzzy nature of alpaca Drew. Alpacas!
• The Wolf - Awooo!
• Small Business-san - Almost went with "Shoukigyou Man" as if he were some kind of superhero, but the idea of someone actually being referred to as "Small Business-san" is just too funny not to use.
• Damerica - I had originally written this as Dan-merica but as Pepsiman cleverly pointed out, dropping the "ン" would give 'Damerika', the perfect word play. "Dame" is commonly used as a means of saying "stop" in a chastising, disapprovingly questioning way, i.e.: Something you'd probably say to Dan a lot.
• A-Striker - There's no real cleverness to this, I just think the way you pronounce Jason's name is rad as fuck and it makes for the best character name if phonetically written.

These are so goooooooood AMG - 1 million congrats and awes to you and everyone who helped you - I think @marino knows what to do!

Holy crap, these are great!

These are super duper cool. Small Business-san is so adorable...

Goddamn those are fantastic! They'd fit right in the game.

Wow these are really good. Great job duder!

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!

Why are you so good? STOP IT! Wait, on second thought. MORE! XD

BESb

Amazing. Great job duder! I wish this was an actual game.

This is awesome! If only we could actually put them in the game.

@insidioustuna: thank you! :>

@ajayraz: Thank you blessed Ajay :'D

@bigmess: I'd hella play A-Striker in adventure mode

@djmoo: Thank you!! :D

@monkeyman04: i can't! I'm only human! D: But thank you :>

@onimonkii: It's gone now! yay!

Good work here, they're all fantastic.

Tried to fix the blog. Got rid of the weird string at the bottom, but that first image ain't playing ball (though you can see it just fine by clicking on it). Man, lemme tell you a few things about weird image bugs on this site.

@aurahack: These are absolutely beautiful. Top-notch work, duder! I want to hug them all.

Could I annoy you to make a wallpaper out of these lovelies? Because I want this stuff in my face always and forever.

Also, it'll be a crime against nature if these don't end up on Giant Bomb's walls somewhere.

FANTASTIC ^_^

This is fucking fantastic

The creativity here is incredible. Well done, they're all really amazing!

These are all incredible. It's really amazing how consistently your work blows my mind.

Holy shit. These are incredible!

Goddanged amazing. I would import this.

Awwwwwwwwww these are so cute! Will you be doing one for Rorie at some point as well?

Oh wow. This is unbelievably amazing. Jesus Christ.

WHERE IS THE MODERATOR SEAL OF APPROVAL

I love the Japanese too. I caught a couple most of the wordplays, but I didn't catch Dan's the first time around. These are soooo amazing.

My only wish is for Suketoudara to get incorporated in someway. The fish always wins.

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow holy shit.

these are incredible. seriously awesome work!

Just wow -- so cool!

Bloody amazing sir, all of it.

The t-shirt or poster potential.. license issues aside, is high.

@billymaysrip: Fish is always with us at heart.

@wumbo3000: :D thank you <33

@lucri: Maybe! I'd love to get Rorie and Danny in but right now I need to CHILL and maybe do something else with my art time. Been at it for a while with these, haha.

@bsstephan: SOME DAY (i hope)

@kirlia: thank you!!

@chaser324: that means a lot to hear, chase. :> thank you

@librorumprohibitorum: thank you!! :'D

@cooltube96:Thanks :D

@slowbird:thank you :'>

@superkenon: not sure how i would turn these into a wallpaper D: not even sure they're at the right size for it? ill check it out and update if i do make one, though :>

@mento: yeah i dunno man, shit's borked. i can link it to you offsite and maybe you can try and replace it?

@jeanluc: @ssully: someone tell sega to hmu. seriously i wanna go work there because someone in that company has to be the voice for a new JSRF (and thank you!! <3)

These deserve to be on the wall o' art in the livestream room. Awesome job!

Truly amazing, especially love the one for Jason!

If you scroll up and down while looking at the polka-dot patterns in the background, they look like they're moving

Amazing stuff Aurahack. I don't know what else to say.

Well maybe except that you are clearly confusing Mr Jeffrey Gerstmann with his client, Dr. Tracksuit.

@aurahack: No worries -- you've done more than enough, so I don't want you to go through a lot of extra trouble. They're just so gosh-darn beautiful I had to ask. <3

Superb work as always.

I mainly do my GB discussion...elsewhere...but I had to say just how fantastic all of those are, aurahack.

yea yea yea

Amazing! I wanna say that Brad is my favorite as a robot fits his gamertag but I don't think I'll ever get over how cute Alpaca Drew is.

ABSOLUTLEY INCREDIBLE! You nailed everyone, I'm enjoying these a whole bunch.

Man, that's great.

Jeeeeeeez this is really really great. Awesome job!

How are you doing this for no money?

These are amazing.

@shagge: thank you!!

@robbparris: that one's my favorite too! :D

@grace_omega: This is my favorite comment.

@hassun: Oh no, not at all. Jeff's gamertag is simply there as he is responsible for Dr. Tracksuit's actions on the Puyopuyo court.

@starvinggamer: Thank you. :D

@giant_frying_pan: I dunno I didn't figure this was really on-topic to anything, haha.

@hammondoftexas: Thank you :D

@fattony12000: ay ay ay

@topsteer: alpacas too OP

@kevinwalsh: Ahhh thank you! I'm quite pleased with how they turned out, too. :>

@amyggen: you're great!

@quid_pro_bono: Thank you :'D

@getz: long answer: i've been dealing with some very difficult personal issues and art is a wonderful way to escape it all. short answer: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@jaina_solo_: :'D thank you for the kind words!

@arbitrarywater: Thank you!!

My face just fell off and flew into the future this is so awesome.

This is amazing!!! Great job duder!

Where's the fish!??!!

Amazing. The line work is excellent.

Now just do 4 more things and you'll take over the community showcase.

I can't be the only one that wants the site to make a "Captain Fuwafuwa" plushie available for purchase, right?

OUTSTANDING work, OP!

These are amazing! Everything looks super clean, great work duder!

These are so fucking good. Nicely done.
