The Comic Commish - July '13

Howdy peeps, creeps and Sweeps to another The Comic Commish: that regular feature where I propose a trio of exciting premium feature ideas for the site's owners to roundly ignore. But it's less a genuine attempt to spruce up the site's content than a way to thank them in homage for all the excellent subscriber content they create, as well as thanking my good inter-pal @omghisam for allowing me to watch said subscriber content for another year. Onto the stupidity! (Past Comic Commishes are here: Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May and Jun.)

Premium Content For Your Premium Contempt

Rather than a new feature, this is just a handy means to combine the irregular Bombasticas and that of those old console streams the group would throw together just before Xmas or on some other notable occasion. A console is chosen, everyone brings in/chooses a favorite from that console's library and they play them in order while explaining what it is about their choices that they like so much. The archived stream can then be hacked to pieces as separate Bombastica videos, in much the same manner as that Vita launch game stream or the Kinect stream. I know, it's probably blasphemous to include more than one person in a Bombastica, but squeezing a whole bunch of them out in one go like this has to be an enticing prospect. For them and us.

I'm still chuckling at "Frisco Vinny" from that Ryan Memorial video Drew put together. That is not a good nickname for anyone to have, except maybe Gene Wilder. It is kind of crazy that Giant Bomb currently has agents all over the US, even if Matt Kessler isn't technically one of them. Yet.

I've tried this. Mind over matter doesn't work, especially at the sort of temperatures where one's mind is no longer operating at full capacity. Freezeasy Peak can go screw itself with its own icicles. But seriously, I've never heard of North England hitting 90 before.
