Ep 38: Loot Chutin’ [Hover Junkers]

Here’s another fine Team Wreckloose comic for the whooooole family to enjoy. If you don’t mind a little cartoon disMEMBERment (my pun game is on point), you can view the uncensored version here. I will have you know that I spent hours, nay, days, researching precisely how this would look, and committing it to paper as precisely as I can, only to throw a “censored” box over it.

(That’s not true, closest I got to research was coincidentally reading Nameless by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham, which happens to feature similar visuals… It’s mainly just guesswork and Grade A cartooning.)

This strip is based on a conversation I had with foxmime where I excitedly used the phrase “put your junk in the vacuum” when explaining my Hover Junkers pro-strats. She somehow saw this as being a dirty phrase, and this comic was born!

By the way, if you own a Vive, but somehow AREN’T playing Hover Junkers, what the hell else are you doing with your time? This game is rough as hell, but the core mechanics are so goddamned fun it’s stupid. It’s pretty much the only reason I use my Vive daily. I’ve tried and bounced off of most other games. There’s a bunch of other stuff that is fun, but doesn’t have the best longevity. Hover Junkers keeps it’s hooks in me.

No shooter has gotten me this excited since TitanFall (and Team Fortress 2 before it). I want to see the VR Mobile Platform Cover Shooter (MoPlatCoSho) to become a whole new genre in the future. I’ve even got an idea for a variation that I’d love to make if I didn’t spend all my free time playing Hover Junkers and drawing…

Check out the bonus panel below for my first (and hopefully jankiest) animation! We’ll return next week.
