Mario in the 1st Person

Submitted by Editor on February 25, 2013 – 09:50No Comment

Rush the Mushroom Kingdom but this time do it through Marios eyes! A fan made creation dedicated to the storming of the Koopa Castle where you will literally come face to face with biggest, baddest Koopa of them all…

Hell hath no fury like a Bowser scorned in this first person Mario adventure! Created by Brandon Laatsch: “After over 50 days of rendering FPM Endgame is finally done. I’ve always said that if I’m going to do a sequel it has to be creatively worth doing.“. So far there has been nothing from Nintendo regarding copyright infringment, we hope the guys in the legal dept. are just as busy marvelling over the short as we are!

Dublin City Comics: A Profile

On a cold Thursday evening, I tidied up my office desk, clearing away briefs, notes and grabbed my coat and scarf, I piled my car into the daily traffic jam that would move bumper to bumper until I usually arrived home. This Thursday evening was a little different, instead of turning off for the estate I live in, I continued onwards into the centre of Dublin city.
