Interview With A Half-Life Comic Creator

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the frohmaaaaannnn dept.

Bundini writes "Primotech has an interview with Chris Livingston, creator of the immensely popular Concerned Half-Life Comic. He talks about the impact of machinima, posing ragdolls with Garry's Mod, and what's next for Gordon Frohman. From the article: 'There's a sort of smug satisfaction one gets when tuning in to the Gordon Frohman show every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It's like an inside joke only you (and the other however-many million players of Valve's epic first-person shooter) will get.'" I highly recommend this gent. Concerned is a great comic.

    Was 8-bit Theater the inspiration for these "machinima" comics? The only difference I see is a 3rd dimension.

    I highly recommend this gent. Concerned is a great comic.

    FWIW, I read it religiously but it's waaay funnier than any organized religion has been for the last two thousand years. :-)

  4. Not My Desk! by Gulthek · · Score: 4, Informative

    If any of you fans of this comic are unfamilar with Chris' earlier work. You *must* read Not My Desk. I've been a notmydesk fan since 2001 and it is funnier (and truer) office humor than "Office Space", "The Office", "Dilbert", and anything else I've found.
