The worlds oldest website is BACK! (No Comments)

Red Penguin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 01:00:27 +0000

Maybe not the oldest. But we were out there kicking butt back in 2001, and even earlier than that on platforms like Angel Water and Geocities (RIP to the tuba of them). And after something like a three year hiatus, Purp and I got to thinking, it’s about time we make waves on the world wide lazy river again; so we re-inflated our floaties, and got back on the intertubes.

The site is looking pretty different now, yeah? Games, the comic (Frosty Village), and anything else you might see are all joint efforts now. We may be two penguins, but we’re one set of brothers, just how mom made us.

Follow us on twitter or facebook to know when, and what is happening – and don’t forget to sign up for the forum and chat it up with our thriving (and aging) community.

Peace from the ‘pole,

Red

We’re Back: An Addendum (1 Comment)

I think brother Red has said nearly everything that needs to be said. That said, I can’t shut up and I’d like to get a few words in as well. Penguinbros has always been one of my biggest passions. I hope that it will become yours as well, that our enthusiasm rubs off on you – but instead of turning a pale shade of orange this Enthusiasm Dust cakes you in a fine layer of community, brought together by our webcomics and games and what-have-you. I admit that metaphor needs work.

Lastly, this site is a constant work in progress. If you see something, say something. We can’t improve Penguinbros.com unless it’s broken (no jokes about our hiatus), and we need your watchful eyes to point out anything worth pointing at.

It’s good to be back,
Purple

I promised you stuff, and I’m delivering on half. “Stereotypical” is the music I make, there’s no exact formula to it though I’m pretty strict on quality control. I’d like to drop the pretense and allow you, the listener, to enjoy incomplete works that may one day grow up to be musical butterflies. Or perhaps these sketches will languish for eternity…

But enough of my yakking, let’s boogie!

This has been a particularly dreary season. There’s been good stuff too, but in short we’re just up to our necks in real-world issues. What this all has to do with Penguinbros is, well, not a whole lot. Luckily for you people, this is my last year of college – it’s really flown by – so I’ll be returning to Penguinbros in a full-time capacity pretty soon. I think about all of you out there, on that internet, and how you love updates. And so here we are: nothing but the best for you.

I have some music and art that’s ready to go up this weekend, as soon as I have a moment to organize things. I AM NOT ORGANIZED RIGHT NOW OKAY.

One more thing! My good friend TV’s Kyle’s first two tunefully comedic albums have been released for free on the internet. Share the wealth via this link. Enjoy and good night!

Violet Mice (No Comments)

The artist (currently known as) Violet Mice has always been a very close friend of mine. Over the last week I’ve been working with him on his website, and it’s now ready for consumption: please check out Violet Mice.com and enjoy! And also be on the lookout for his upcoming album, Violence, which I also had a hand in.

UPDATE: I am reminded also that VM has released a free EP of muzak, entitled Girlz. Scope dis.

Back from Japan; Frosty Village; Igloo City… (No Comments)

Hey guys! Gals! Transgender? It’s been awhile, so let me tell you what’s changed, and what’s the same! Earlier this summer I went to Tokyo to study manga and anime! Talk about a fun class! Talk about informative! I’ll just throw out a few animes out there for anyone who wants to watch something interesting (that I like): Noein, Mushishi, Seirei no Moribito, Photon, Blue Submarine no.6. If you’ve seen all of these, ask me for more, I’m educated! While in Japan I formed a band with some of the locals, and we played a couple gigs! It was all covers, but still fun. After my trip to the east, I went westward (and north) to Antarctica and stayed at home for a few weeks (in the good old F.V.). I’m back in Igloo City with all my homies. I’m still enrolled at the I.C.S.D. – and have become a junior, but that’s just thanks to time and good grades.

You may not have noticed, but I’ve been secretly updating! Here’s a list of what is new.
These three games are prototypes, but I thought I’d let you play them! Remember, PROTOTYPES! They still have glitches! (small ones anyway)

InfinuS: A top down shmup. Use wasd to move and the cursor to fire!

Spacetower: Up to two players (hit the 2 key to bring in the second player) wasd and arrows, avoid falling walls!

Hobakudan: Tag! Use wasd yghj and the keypad to play a three player game of tag (press 2 or 3 to bring in those players respectively). The number on the main platform says who’s it). You can double jump. Don’t fall from to high or you will get stunned!

Also, there are some new drawings. So check out my gallery.
Frosty Village will start up again soon. I’ve moved into a much nicer apartment where I can safely draw. (F.V. is down right now, it’ll be fixed presently)

I’ll be Bach!
You be Beethoven.

Far be it from me to turn this blog into a political soapbox, but this clip from Adam West’s “Batman” truly encapsulates the political landscape at this moment. Plus, it has The Penguin:

Summer Internship Write-Up (No Comments)

I guess you could say summer is over. I guess you could also say my internship at the Jim Henson Company is over too. I wrote about it, and you can read about it too if you wish.

Now begins my last year at college, so next summer…?

A couple of weeks ago I snapped a picture of a bootleg Bugs Bunny illustration and submitted it to the blog Cartoon Brew. Somehow I missed the fact that it got posted on there. So there you go, enjoy :}
