Description
A couple of years back, the How To Play strips caught the attention of the (Now defunct) games magazine, Play.At the time, I was working for Rare, and therefore; Microsoft. Which meant I couldn’t say bad things about their products in an official capacity, lest they cry and send someone over to set me on fire.
This rather limited the games I could turn into HTP strips for actual publication, so I came up with a couple of new ideas, one being; spoof games promotions.
Play* (and all its sister magazines) sank back in February…….this had nothing to do with me!
(Though, there is a worrying trend forming. A couple of years after I applied to Free Radical Design, it went down. Then, after being cut from Rare, I applied to RealTime Worlds….)
*That's the American incarnation I'm talking about. Play UK is still up and running.

i have seen comments on only the barny and the crowbar and just so you know headcrabs arent cute and realy a real beard made from scientist's real hair funny but a kid or adult wearing it unlikely

I need a string-pull Barney so badly it's painful! DX Please why can't it be real?!?! I'd give every penny I have (around 30 bucks) for one!!! But I can't. T_T
Hah, I just saw the little tidbit about radiation exposure! It almost makes up for my tears over not having a little Barney to snuggle at night. Which is still very sad.
