#75 – (Team) Abobo's Big Interview

The Newgrounds Podcast

Author Comments

Can you believe it's been 10 years since Abobo's Big Adventure was released? @PsychoGoldfish and @Xinxinix got to hang out with 2 of the creators, @mockery and @pestoforce (aka @BomToons) and talk about the development, inspirations, accolades and so much more.

Fair warning: This interview is ALMOST as big as Abobo's pectorals.

Bane's original 2002 version of Abobo Domo Kun Angry Smashfest Kill the Old Man From Zelda Boss Bash Videogames Awesome - Abobo Is Awesome! Abobo's Big Adventure on IGN Barfbarians Test / Official Site Freakpocalypse Episode 1 (Cyanide & Happiness Game) Grace Chase Ivan Drago: Justice Enforcer Donate to Unlock Aboboy's Small Adventure The Snow Runs Red Nick's CURRENT preferred Twitter Account: @determdungeon Roger's (far more consistent/reliable) Twitter account: @iMockery

Check out the 10th Anniversary Livestream where they guys actually play the game with commentary (and tons of oldschool Newgrounders popping in the chat)!

Finally, we really want to thank Roger for sharing his story "Overwhelmingly Beautiful & Tragically Short. For Marie - The Love Of My Life".

Loss is not an easy thing to talk about, nor is depression and suicide. Roger has shown so much grace and openness with is journey, and has been a great ally to anyone experiencing loss and/or depression.

Depression is a disease that many people suffer from in silence, often alone, with WAY too much social stigma. It's up to all of us to reach out to our friends and loved ones, to let them know how they matter and they have our support.
