Good Morning Gato #16 – A Plethora of Viking-Related Business

This week’s update is going to be a tad bit short in length, because Dustin is in Minnesota on a moving mission and James is busy … playing Alan Wake. But we still have some entertaining words for you to look over and a traveling story to tell, so keep reading and relax. It’s Good Morning Gato!

Good Morning Gato #15 – Dust Bunnies in Downfall

That is Gato. She is chilling, doing her relaxing thing and sticking her tongue out. She is also alert. Alert of the development that is going on with Vampire Smile and alert of the fact that a new edition of Good Morning Gato awaits your eyes.

Behold! The Dishwasher Tattoo

This is by far the greatest tattoo we have ever seen. Period.

While that may be a pretty bold claim, it’s our own The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile artwork and seeing it etched into human skin is, well … CRAZY AWESOME!

Dishwasher fan Andrew C. sent us this picture showing off his new ink which was done by Luke from Art & Soul Tattoo. The tatt is based off the Yuki Syringe t-shirt design and will now and forever be displayed proudly on his arm. Thumbs up to you and your dedication Andrew and watch for a Ska Studios bag-o-swag that’s headed to your mailbox.

Good Morning Gato #14 – Blerg!

It would be an understatement to describe this week’s Good Morning Gato as “newsy”. It’s more than that. So much so that we feel the words “extreme newsy to the max” best describes this week’s update. Is your interest piqued? It should be.

Charlie Murder Takes The Big Stage With Release On Xbox LIVE Arcade

Charlie Murder Takes The Big Stage With Release On Xbox LIVE Arcade
The punk rock adventure of Charlie Murder is in development for an Xbox LIVE Arcade release in 2012.

Schenectady, NY – May 5, 2010 – Ska Studios cleared up some confusion surrounding the release of their arcade title Charlie Murder by officially announcing that the game is being developed with the band’s input and will be released by Microsoft exclusively on Xbox LIVE Arcade sometime in 2012, along with the purported end of the world.

After initially being announced as an Xbox LIVE Indie Games title, developer Ska Studios decided that the Charlie Murder story was worthy of a bigger stage. After intense negotiations with the band and some bribery, Ska Studios was able to convince the Charlie Murder crew to sell out yet again, and commit to bringing their band’s punk rock story to Xbox LIVE Arcade. As part of the agreement terms, the entire band will complete a one year counseling program at Happy Times Recovery Center in Atlantic City, NJ. Their treatment will focus on mending the strife that has kept Charlie Murder on hiatus for nearly a decade as well as addressing, among other things, bassist Tommy Homicide’s recent hoarding tendencies and guitarist Lester Deth’s addiction to other addictions. After the program’s successful completion, the entire crew will join Ska Studios as “Creative Consultants” to make sure the game stays true to the band’s epic story.

“Yeah, the band is in a tough spot, but we’re signed up for that trendy rehab stuff so we can get paid,” said lead singer Charlie Murder. “We sold out and we’ll do our time in counseling. Just know that we are no longer indie, we are Xbox Live Arcade legit and in 2012 we will have the achievements to prove it.”
