Oh, yes. I also made a comic about my experiences playing former Mario Kart titles, my expectations for the new game on the series—Mario kart 8, and my memories of my friends and I playing Mario Kart Double Dash way waaaaaay too much, that I can no longer like that game anymore.
By the way, I'm momentarily pleased by Mario Kart 8, let's see if that lasts enough.
Here's another comic I did some time ago, this time is a guest comic I did for 3-Chord Dorks, the webcomic that is all about celebrating rock and music in general.
Kevin Griffin (the comic's artist) took a couple weeks vacations, and offered the chance of doing a guest comic for him... which I took inmediatly and enjoyed the hell up of building Kevin and Jolie with pixels.
Anyway, I played this one to both critique our Internet-generation and lyrics websites, as well as making small reference to Don McLean's American Pie, one of my favorite songs of all time.

I don’t miss the “time limit” we used to have imposed on us in early videogames, but sometimes I have to stop suspending my disbelief during a game when it tries to convince me that videogame world would be a lot better if I did my saving ASAP. We all know that nothing will actually happen no matter how much time we waste.
Such thing happens when you’re playing Batman Arkham City; Doctor Strange keeps reminding everyone that something huge called Protocol 10 will happen in a few hours, but then, his countdown repeats itself every time you’re procrastinating the main objectives of the game in favor of one of the many subquests this title has.
I guess there’s no place for a real sense of urgency in a non-linear game; I surely would regret not being able to explore everything that Arkham City has to offer if I were pushed to finish the game within a time limit.
On the other hand, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask did an excellent job at implementing and running wild with this idea; every moment is a constant reminder that you and everyone around you is in danger; actually, it did it so well that I don’t need another game throwing a damn psychedelic moon on me if I don’t hurry the hell up!
This is a guest comic I did for Direman.com —another of my favorite webcomic series— when they gave me chance of making a pixelated interpretation of its characters. Since their comic series covers more recent videogame news, I used this opportunity as a vehicle to rant about my exact feelings toward the Mantis Trailer prior to Halo 4's release date.
You can read the full comic here.
[After this comic had been published, I still needed to talk about the reasons why I ended up doing it, which I post at GamesBeat, but you can also read it right here:]
This comic was my entry on April's Writing Challenge on Bitmob. You can check my entry over here, and the work collection over here.
I'm still amazed to see that I can still draw cute little things by my own hand, I don't think I'll keep doing it, but still... It's good to keep that skill at hand.
By the way, updates are coming people! Just wait a little bit...
What can I say? This is my sprite-based homage to Brutal Legend. If you catch at least one of the classic rock references on this comic, and you haven't try this game yet, you own yourself to play it.
Hey, guys!
Have you ever read Critical Miss? Well, it's one of my favorite webcomics. Created by Johnathan Grey Carter and Cory Ridel for The Escapist, It's the story about Erin Stout, a videogame journalist for a fictitious website called Out of Tens.
So, anyway, something weird happened to her after a car accident, and now she hallucinates about videogame characters all day... Long story short, over here.
Why am I telling you this? Well, one of his artists took a brief vacation so they held a little contest in order to have a couple of guest artist to cover him up. As you may've realized, I entered the contest (check my pixelated Erin!) and even tough I didn't win I had a lot of fun making my submission.
The strip I draw is related to one of Erin's early hallucinations, so I recommend you to check this before you go on.
So, anyway J. G. Carter posted all the submissions on his tumblr account, and you can check mine over here.
UPDATE: Since the link from above doesn't seem to work anymore, I have no other alternative than upload the comic myself, check it out:
