Welcome to GamePod, I'm your host, Thus. Please visit my blog.

To start off GamePod #1 I'll be reviewing my favorite GameMaker game of all time. It's called Super Mega Ultra Poorly Drawn Man. It's by creator LWB, and features a unique platform interface with a simple to pick up and play style, with gameplay that makes you pick it up again and again. It has Simplistic drawn on paper graphics, with a look that astounds you with it's originality, the sketchiness, but also beauty.

Running, jumping, dying. Most indie GameMaker games are like this. So is SMUPDM. And it does it almost flawlessly. The levels are fairly well build, and the graphics for the floors look like LWB spent a good time on his tilesets. I love how it plays out.

Controls are simple, and easy to reach. Not har on my fingers. Meh...

Sound was good, fitting to the game. It was jumpy and let me enjoy the game. Without it the game would lose a bit of appeal, but the game holds up with the music on mute.

Ah the cons. Unfortunatley the cons were a bit of a noob. This occured some what frequently,but only made a slight falter on the game. SMUPDM sometimes... Yes ... He got stuck on the walls.

I give this game an overall 4/5. Although the bug wasn't good, it held it's own, and place as my favorite GM game of all time. And no, Iji is NOT in the top 25.

PIEMAN RULES seems like a noob. But as you don't judge a nook by it's cover, don't judge a user by his name.

I'm covering his 4th if what seems like 20 WTFWIT games. Although it's not close to my favorite, his dedication to these games is remarkable.

WTFWIT covers Flying Turd Monkey and his adventures. This games graphics initially disapointed me. Although they are really editted Nintendo Sprites, they gave the seizure filled game it was meant to be.

Gameplay was decnt, with the occasional glitch. The game contained good boss battles, and it's randomness kept me entertained.

Sound gave me a headache. It was a bit to psyhadelic for me. Overall. I give this a 3/5. While the gameplay and the original parts were good, I was just annoyed at the rest. Unless you want to spend 20 minutes of ok-ness and 2 hours of bad head ache on this game, I suggest you vear away from WTFWIT. I ask you. What the f*** is up with this?

GroundZeroGamez is the home to Zack064. It hosts a good, sleek, Black and red theme. He creates good games, ad his site is updated alot with his long, and short fun to make, or contest entries.

He also has a page for online scores. It's cool to see my name in 2nd place on some. I like this site. I think with a blog and maybe a guestbook, I'd favorite this site. I give it a 4.75/5.

That's it for today's GamePod. I plan to do one every other day, but may take breaks, etc.

Also, I have some things on PsychoPandomium to talk about. I have added to the PreAlpha, opening cutscenes, a ReadMe with instructions that opens at the begining ofthe game, as well as it included I the (to be) zip. I have also added custom dialogues. Originally you could say 4 things. Now you just say 0. But it you go into Options, then DIalogue, you can customize the four sentences you say. I'm working on making it say "..." instead of 0.
