The gang is joined by game developer and former fan game creator Sam Beddoes of FreakZone Games to talk about the long and storied history of Sonic fan games, and the profound effect they've had on the franchise over the years. From their humble beginnings using whatever assets and tools were available, to their massive expansion in scope and scale, to many creators going on to develop their own original games, we cover some of the most interesting and memorable examples that have stuck with us over the years. Expect splat sounds, flashing neon signs, Tenchi Muyo references, massive character rosters, and so much more in this jam-packed episode, by and for the fans!

This week, in honor of the new Sonic movie hitting theatres this weekend, we're doing a deep dive on the blue blur himself: the hog, the myth, the legend– Sonic the Hedgehog! It's Sonic! The cool blue hedgehog who runs fast and loves chili dogs! You know the guy! In this episode we discuss the loveable blue guy's origin, our first exposure to this gaming icon, and discuss his history as a gaming cultural figure over the years. Plus we get into how the Sonic fandom has made their own queer spaces around the character, from the creation of Sonic OCs (original characters) on DeviantArt to fan games that range from the bizarre (Sonic Dreams Collection) to total love-letters to the franchise (Sonic Mania). ========Be Our Friends!!EMAIL US at gayforplaypodcast@gmail.comFOLLOW G4P Twitter: @GayForPlayPodInstagram: @GayForPlayPodTwitch: twitch.tv/gayforplaypodSupport the Show on PATREON========CREDITSIntro and outro music by Connor Marsh (@connorjmarshmallow)Show art by Nick Adams (@nickadams.art)Special thanks to our patrons: Blueberri Mary, Elijah Punzal, Trevor McTavish & Martha Turner

On this episode we go hunting for the stories where fans took over and made something their own... on the internet. In the first story, Bijan and guest host Anthony Carboni explore video game developers/prankster group Arcane Kids and the Sonic The Hedgehog game they created because Sega would never make it. And in the second story we dive into internet legend, Slender Man and the twist to the horror genre only the internet could invent.

Stephanie and Cam are joined by Sean Dempsey ( https://instagram.com/smdempseycomics | http://smdempseycomics.com ) to dig into to round two of our fan art discussion! There’s lots to chew on in this one, like: is Roy Liechtenstein’s work technically fan art? What in god’s name is “Sonic Dreams Collection” and does it count as fan art? Do art pieces of drag queens and furries have similarities? What’s the difference between commercial march and fan art? Plus so, so much more. We also mention art by Chad Sell, which you can check out here: https://instagram.com/chadsell01. Also, a few episodes back, Cam said they’d get a link to the artist that made the Prophecy wine labels and they finally remembered to do that! Here it is: https://victo-ngai.com/prophecy-wine-labels Music by Jonathan Stutz: http://www.stutzmusic.bandcamp.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/drunk-art-chat/support
Just what is going on in Metal Gear Solid 5, aside from the insane plot? Josh, Sarah, and Chris delve into the murky waters of genre in games.

Not to be outdone by MGS5, the gang tries to wrap their heads around this week's free game - Sonic Dreams Collection. Also join us next episode, where we'll be talking about Lucas Pope's "Unsolicited" Music: "Intro" by Slime Girls, "Delorean Dynamite" by Todd Terje, and "Gold" by Chet Faker Like us on Facebook, email at PVPCastFeedback@gmail.com, and rate/review us on iTunes!
