Snake Charmers: YouTube Branding

I did a bit of branding for a new YouTube comedy channel: Snake Charmers.
It's managed by my friend from a few posts ago, Molly McIsaac,
and I am already scripting a few of its initial videos.

I'm enjoying these short-form writing projects after the success of Harvest Moon,
and I'm anxious to see how my new work will be received.

You can like Snake Charmers on facebook,
or subscribe to Snake Charmers on YouTube for more updates!

A haul video of all of the artwork I purchased (or was gifted, thanks Dean!) at ECCC!
And photographs below if you don't have 20 minutes to waste watching Molly and I
drink and describe how much we like everything we came home with!

Does anyone know the artist? I forgot to pick up her card!

Gritty Reboots: Harvest Moon

Before there was Farmville, there was Harvest Moon, one of my favorite video games of all time.
Part dating-sim, part RPG, Harvest Moon was the perfect title for uncool kids like me who thought completing virtual farm chores sounded fun. I remember playing hours upon hours of this game on Playstation and Gameboy (we didn't have an N64, and I have yet to get a DS).
So, what happens if you take this sweet and simple game and make it... grittier? Find out below.

Oh! And did I mention I play all six of the female characters in this video?
