In this episode of 8 Bit Avenue, Matthew Palmer, Katie Talmo, and Reagan Simms talk about the classic computer game, SimCity 2000.

8 Bit Avenue discusses the disastrous Pokemon Go Fest, and the Steven Universe RPG, as well as SimCity 2000, a city-building simulation video game and the second installment in the SimCity series, released in 1993. They also have a new segment, Oddly Entertaining, in which Katie talks about the oddly entertaining games she found.

On today’s show we discuss The Underdogs in Comics! You may recognize many titles and artists out there, But did you know that there are more to graphic novels than just super heroes? Our own, sketch comedians Imran and Phil are back live on the drawing boards.

Today we are discussing a couple of underdog comics that Phil & Imran wanted to bring to your attention, the first Phil is going to discuss is THE HUMANS which the series focuses on the Humans outlaw biker gang based in an alternate 1970s Bakersfield, California, described as “a high-octane, no-holds-barred, ape-biker-gang chopper cruise back into ’70s exploitation genre bliss,” where the dominant species are anthropomorphic apes, and humans (called “Skins”) are used as pets or slaves, similar and Spiritual Successor to Planet of the Apes.

Tom Neely is an artist living in Los Angeles. He is best known for the cult-hit indie comic book Henry & Glenn Forever, which he created with his artist collective The Igloo Tornado.

Neely’s art has been featured in galleries in California and New York, in magazines, literary journals and on album covers for bands like Isis, Melvins, Groovie Ghoulies and Green Day. His debut graphic novel, The Blot, earned him an Ignatz Award and made it onto several of the industry’s Best of 2007 lists as well as The Comics Journal’s Best Graphic Novels of the decade 2000-10.

The next in our Underdog episode, Imran is going to tell us all about “Chew” which is an American comic book series about a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agent who solves crimes by receiving psychic impressions from food, including people.

Once an editor for Wildstorm, a branch of DC Comics, Layman turned to writing comics full-time in 2002, mainly for Marvel Comics.  He also worked on several comic books based on licensed properties, such as Xena: Warrior Princess and ThunderCats, as well as crossovers like Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness.

Varmints! podcast definitely has our fair share of rodent shows and many more scheduled in the future. But, we can hardly help it, as rodents comprise roughly 40% of mammalian species on this big blue blob we call the Earth. Today we’re going to talk about a few of the odder ones, come along with us on a rodent extravaganza!

But first, the news!

Like we say at the top of the show, we are not animal experts, and sometimes we make mistakes, get stuff totally backward, or fail to notice something important we should have mentioned, thus: WE HAS THE DUMB, WE CANNOT BRAIN, our new segment for corrections/addendums. (Addendumbs?)

We don’t know what his powers are.

All we can say is “squee”!

An actual animal of Planet Earth. We swear on a stack of zoology textbooks, this guy is totally real!
