Fangamer’s Great Desert Bus Race

Since Friday, the DesertBus.org team has been driving a virtual bus between Tucson and Las Vegas to raise money for Child’s Play, and we’ve helped out by donating over $4000 of proceeds from our Desert Bus 5 shirt. Now it’s time for the real fun — a race!

It just so happens that our office is located in Tucson, so tomorrow (Tuesday, Nov 22) around 11:30 AM EST we’ll be peeling out of the Greyhound station in our tricked-out 1990 Chevy G20 as Desert Bus revs the engine on their Sega CD. We’ll be checking in with live video broadcasts from the road and entertaining ourselves with songs, mathematical theorems, and maybe grease fires — THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

Tune in at desertbus.org tomorrow between 11:30 AM and 7:30 PM (EST) to catch the race and chip in some money for the kids — as well as a shot at some of the random crap we’ll be giving away on the road!

SMRPG Fanfest & Far From Subtle

Our friends at Far From Subtle (you may know them as the hosts of Awesome Video Games and, more prominently, Video Games Awesome) are hosting the second GPP of the SMRPG Fanfest tonight at 9pm Eastern! In fact, they are pre-showing right now! Check em out as they traverse through the Kerokero Sewers and just genuinely be awesome.

New Shirts Coming!

Vote which shirts you want to see first!

Among the designs we present, a number of them don’t get shown. Also, many designs we do for pins, posters and stickers can do quite well on a shirt, so we’re looking back at all of our ideas and presenting them in classic top notch Fangamer fashion. Let us know what your favorites are!

Un-April Fools

Last Friday was April Fools, a day where everyone and their mother play piratical jokes on each other. Keeping the spirit of the holiday alive, Reid & the Fangamer Co. announced the start of the MOTHER Fanfest on Officecam. What started out as a joke slowly became a reality, complete with new merch too!

Robot Smash! is designed by Jorge Velez and is currently up for some preorder action. The MOTHER Fanfest is still going strong so feel free to check that action out as well.

Fangamer Podcast #65 – Pokemon Black and White

 

Pokemania has returned and we brought a true Pokemaniac to chime in on the newest iteration in the Pokemon franchise - Maré Odomo who you may know from has comic series Letters to an Absent Father. We get to know him a little better for our listening audience and then we geek out over Pokemon again, but we promise it’ll be quite a while before Pokemania strikes again… probably. We also announce the winner of the WoW game time contest and in a turn of events things change with the QWOP contest… it’s  weird!
