Video Game Cheats 'n Beatums #23: Bullhorn
And you believed it!
Video Game Cheats 'n Beatums is a weekly webcomic by KC Green. If you want to read more, you can find the rest of the archived comics here.
Now I know the new Mother BeginningBound game is here and it’s a VERY VERY OLD GAME, so please play it with respect and don’t forget these tips: You can just run away. Play the pacifist and run each time. There is no shame, there is no down side to my plan. It’s okay to run safely home and tuck into bed and watch youtube videos of speed-runs all day, every night as you run from being awake. Please Take Care. Of Yourself.
KC Green is probably playing a weird indie game right now instead of working on his adaptation of Pinocchio or writing the comic BACK. He currently lives in Western Massachusetts in the snow where he makes comics and writes these bios.
