[Interview] Ben McCool – Whippin’ Up Comics!
If you’re a regular passenger on Spaceship OL, chances’re pretty good that your a bit of a comics fan. And if that’s the case, you’ve probably seen the name Ben McCool poppin’ up over the last few years. Unless, of course, you’re a genuine turkey. But let’s assume that this is a turkey-free zone, shall we?
The writer of MEMOIR and CHOKER (amongst others), Ben McCool has quickly established himself as a burgeoning force of nature in the sequential art ecosystem. Yes, it’s true that a viscous oil of staid storytelling may pump through the veins of the comic medium. But McCool takes a stab at narrative resuscitation by mainlining a cocktail of novelty, originality, daring, and genuine entertainment directly into the heart.
Yes, I am a fan of Ben McCool.
In fact, I recently found myself sending the British-born scribe a set of questions that I’d conjured up during a moment of half-inebriated super-confidence. To my delight, McCool pleasantly responded! What a gentleman! Hit the jump to check an exchange which includes an exploration of the comic book career path, some insight into what inspires creativity, the sharing of a truly filthy haiku, and plenty more!

Pirate Bay To Anonymous: DDoS IS Censorship, Yo! Ain’t Cool.
Pirate Bay and Anonymous are two of the titans of the Fuck You Rules Internet Gang.

This week had them in a bit of a slap fight, with Pirate Bay not particularly cool with something Anonymous was up to.

WATCH: ‘BEYOND GOOD & EVIL 2’ Environments Walkthrough. Wru, Game?
Beyond Good & Evil 2 is something of a unicorn in the gaming world. Oft whispered about, nearly never seen. Much like unicorns, the sightings are relegated to drunkards with throbbing cocks and bleary eyes. We hear the tales and roll our eyes, disbelieving. Here’s the latest sighting, but whether or not it holds true is your own to decide.
A video walkthrough of some environments, plus captures after the break.
