Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin: The Ballad of Bullet Bill

simon richards

As Ellis might say, it’s not really a ha-ha funny sort of episode, but more of a makes-you-think kinda thing. Weirdly, it feels a bit like a Once Upon a Pixel episode, even though Ash and I came up with it. Things will get even weirder when Davis posts her very HAWP-esque episode of her own show.

I can’t thank the fan artists enough (even those whose work didn’t make it into the final vid) for their work. I received a lot of really awesome stuff, all of which should be entered in every games-related art exhibit around.

Also: Manic Maverick, send me an email. You haven’t responded to my private emails so I assume I’ve got the wrong address or something.

    shit’s aight

  2. Damn, I haven’t checked my email in nearly a week. Don’t judge me, Anthony. Don’t do it! Man, I should just stop trying to do things. Like life. XD Email sent.

    Anyway. Great episode! Also, many lovings to the other artists, because your stuff made my inside parts feel happy.

    I feel that the ‘sudden transition to credits’, with Ash missing the last word, really didn’t work that well in this episode, at first I thought it was the player skipping and not deliberate editing. I feel it was more of a detraction from the OUAP-like narrative rather than a slap at the end the usual rapid back-and-forth

    Either way, well done to Spectral Ash and all the fan artists.

      I disagree. thought it worked perfectly. The only issue I had was that sometimes it was hard to make out what Ash was saying, However, I think that, without the sudden break into the credits, the joke wouldn’t have hit home properly and it would just fall flat.

    Wow, I’m EMBARRASSINGLY late to the party. Sorry Anthony, I totally didn’t even get close to doing this on time. D:

    In any case, I’m a huge fan and you guys are great and good luck with the new gig. And good job to all the other fan artists!

    Wish I’d gotten this done in time:

    It’s MUCH better than what I submitted when I tried to get into this… But I don’t know where in the poem it would’ve fit in; I guess it’s just HAWP-inspired Mario fanart. :P

  6. Could you, please, add something like scripts of the episodes? I’m from Russia, know English well, I guess, but I’t hard to understand some dialoges for me.
    Scripts-scripts-scripts requested :3

    thanks again for using my picture in the episode if you need any more art or animation feel free to ask.
    also i had a freind who seemed way to excited to see that THE Anthony Burch wanted to use my picture at first it was nice to see he was happy for me but then it just got creepy how much he loves you

  8. I really enjoyed that episode, the missing final line was genius. :)

  9. Abomination says:

    That was probably one of the greatest things I have seen on the interwebs.

    Well done. I loved it. Like you said, very OUPish, but still had the HAWP vibe going for it.
