www.twitch.tv/vgafanatic We are now live!

Indie creators truly have it rough, because there's always gonna be THOSE fans. The majority who show unyielding support are always great, and the uppity negative ones could stand to get off their high horse once in a while.

This comes across like Johnny Depp as Ed Wood trying to defend the artistic integrity behind his weird choices, and that's oddly kind of charming. I like that this implies that Bayonetta being in a relationship with Jeanne is not off the table, either, though it'd have to be an alternate version.

If I decide to give my take on this meme, it'd have to be sketched, because I've got far too much on my plate to make it a fully neat comic. Obviously, it'd be Travis and Brad, because their vibes best reflect what's being portrayed here.

www.twitch.tv/vgafanatic Going live with the first of this weekend's streams in roughly an hour. Hope to see y'all there!

I wanna see folks make Pet-like animal characters from other cartoons or anime, like Chomusuke from Konisuba or Zwei from RWBY.

Here's my take on this outfit, worn by Miranda. Figured I'd give Bianca a break from these memes for once (plus, that red band might be too tight around that chest). Enjoy!

It absolutely sucks that YouTube does this shit at the beginning of every new year, actively harming channels with new features that cater to different random tastes. My speed draw videos have done demonstrably worse this year basically because of this.

Sonic had his own Chuck E. Cheese in Mexico now! This is awesome!

Oh hey! People in this game I would want to sign for it! I think that's reason enough to throw down $20 extra for the physical version of the Switch 2 Edition.

I want to live in the alternate universe where treason is actually recognized as such in America and nobody gets a pass.

Where the hell were these prices when I was getting these games?

Definitely considering getting both these games. MAYBE on Steam.

Watching (what I think is) the season finale of Scrubs. GOD, I fucking missed The Janitor.

I should start watching Witch Hat Atelier. I've got a LOT of time to kill until I'm ready to start the next Arc of One Piece. I can spare one afternoon to marathon all the episodes thus far.

The outfit design looks cool. But yeah, these character models REALLY make me pine for the hand drawn days where they would adapt different art styles depending on the movie.

Randomly came across an Instagram comparison of Hans and Pawbert declaring dead the woman they left to die, and then I remembered Syndrome, who was told Mr. Incredible was dead, but silently knew better and decided to play the waiting game. Some Disney villains know 4D Chess. Some don't.

Each new season of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, I'm reminded of just how many prolific voice actors they got on board thanks to recording at Okatron rather than Crunchyroll's in-house studio. Heck, the new movie even introduces a few major names that I can't wait to hear.

Kaido is an Easy S in my ranking of One Piece villains. He's powerful, he's cruel, he's shrewd, he's an honorable duelist, and it took Luffy roughly five tries before finally taking him down, even awakening a new power to pull it off. Truly, there is no contest among this series' baddies by now.

And with that, I have now completed the Wano Arc of One Piece, admittedly MUCH farther ahead of schedule than I previously anticipated. Gonna have to think of some shows to marathon or backlogged games to play while I wait for the podcast I follow to catch up to this point.

Twisting Oden's final words to reflect Orochi's final moments. That's brutal, Hiyori.

Friggin' Caribou. You always forget that he's there. And knowing who he's referring to based on scenes from the next arc, I am not looking forward to the day that Wano and Fishman Island come to blows over the ancient weapons.

Giving Momonosuke a Straw Hat Flag is essentially Luffy making Wano his first territory as an Emperor. And like Whitebeard and Shanks did for theirs, he will absolutely be a protector that the people can count on.

I'm rather amazed that after Hold-em razed Kuri prior to the battle, Otsuru only really got away with a burn scar over her eye. I'd honestly like to see it once the bandage comes off. I bet it gives her an extra level of charm that Kin'emon would go nuts over.

You just know this means someone recreated the messed-up ice cream pops of Sonic and Spongebob, too.

Even though they're technically back to being enemies, Law is still willing to let Kid in on details of the Road Poneglyphs. That's basically inviting competition towards the One Piece between the three crews, Luffy's included. And the dick measuring contest begins anew.

Buggy wound up becoming an Emperor not only for forming a Bounty Hunting company that specifically targets Marines, but also for having the backing of two former Warlords on his side. Oddly enough, it kinda reminds me of how Spandam was the boss of CP9 despite being comparatively weak.

Momonosuke and Hiyori really did become the spitting image of their parents, didn't they?

Smash on Wii U may very well have been rendered irrelevant by Ultimate at this point, but Brawl absolutely still holds a valuable place in many of our hearts, same as Melee and 64 (though Smash Remix may be trying to overtake that one). Wrong for saying it's your favorite? Far from it.

Gotta love that every step of the way, Luffy always encouraged Momonosuke to overcome his fears and become the Shogun he was meant to be, to the point that he sat on the sidelines to see Momo defend Wano from an invading force. That'll do, young Dragon. Go forth and lead this country anew.

It's a funny detail that Zeus, being a thundercloud, prefers eating actual weather-based concoctions to the point that sugary treats are completely pedestrian to him.

Yeah, the fact that Shanks is now declaring he's after the One Piece strongly implies that he's going to be the final obstacle that Luffy must overcome in his journey. Honestly, I hope so. It would be a phenomenal way to bring the story to a full circle after this many Chapters.

Shanks and Bartolomeo may both be tight with Luffy, but knowing just how dangerous and powerful the Emperors are, Barto is going to regret messing with Shanks' territory.

Live Action One Piece is kind of like a combination of what the Mario and Sonic Movies each set out to do; Tell an all-new story by building the world of the source material from the ground up, while also including a wealth of references for long time fans who are knowledgeable of it.

The fact that Shanks was willing to bombard a World Government ship, in addition to the way he looked at Luffy's new Wanted Poster, gives me an impression that he knows what the Gum Gum Fruit actually is.

Yeesh. The World Government acting elitist even towards a closed-off Nation. The Navy and the Celestial Dragons are even worse for Wano than Kaido.

God, I friggin' love Morgans. No matter how much the World Government wants to cover up the truth, there is absolutely no stopping him from publishing the scoop that he wants to publish. For what's essentially an underworld dealer, the guy's a true journalist.

Well, that's an interesting angle to Tama's power. After a month, the effect wears off, and then the subject who's eaten the dango is given the freedom of choice on whether they want to stay by her side. Certainly a good ending that prevents the gifters from essentially being slaves.

If by AI, you mean Robots like WALL-E and Bender, then absolutely we should make friends with them. But generative AI or upscaling that makes a product look worse than it did before can eat my ass.

With Darkseid out of the picture, it's actually kinda nice seeing Luthor and Eggman reclaiming their rightful place as Top Villains.

I actually REALLY love this design for Starfire.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9Do... This was really fun. I hope the show continues, especially if merch sales go well enough. I love Cas' Recap animations, so I'm excited to see his original projects flourish.

forms.gle/YjtLjqzxampF... Friendly reminder that the Poll for May's Drawing Theme is still going. If there are any Ladies from Shonen Jump you'd like me to draw, now is the time to make your suggestions heard. Only the Favorite of All Time requires a response.

Thanks to a rare opening in my schedule, I will be streaming on two days this weekend! Join me tomorrow at 2pm PST on my Twitch Channel as we play some Switch 2 Racing games, and Sunday same time for a full playthrough of Donkey Kong Country! Hope to see y'all there!

WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE LIKE A BIG PIZZA PIE THAT'S LUIGI!~ The third finished Drawing from the Mario Anniversary Survey is here! Tis Oasis Luigi from Mario Kart World! And yes, I did reuse Daisy's backdrop and add a Magic Carpet. Get off me. Look forward to next week's Print to round it out!

Good to give this game a "Try before you buy" option!

Hello, Patrick Seitz!

Totally random, and totally a Me thing, but I don't like Fadel calling things that are bad "Booty Cheeks." Like, that's a gooner term. It's supposed to be, it should stay in its lane, that being topic of sex, and should not be a legitimate form of criticism. Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

I dunno what it is, but between the Pines Twins, Donald's Nephews and now Bowser Jr., there's something about casting an obvious adult as clearly a child that really seems to work for Hollywood, because these actors really manage to pull it off despite their first impressions.

Slight spoiler for Mario Galaxy: Some may disagree, but I honestly like the romantic chemistry between Mario and Peach. They vibe with each other, they're comfortable with each other, Mario picks her up when she's down while also respecting her space, it's actually kinda sweet.
