THE FURREHS UPDATE
MAY 7TH, 2011

Share the Furrehs Update with furs you know and get the word out!



-FURTHER ESCAPE PODCAST-

Holy fucking shit.

This was a long time coming.  Something like this will never happen again, I swear.  Here's the supremely outdated, but long overdue and anticipated Episode 6 of FE, and our special guest is NeoKarl!




***MP3 DOWNLOAD***


We'll keep you updated on when a new episode has been recorded.

Scheduled for Next Episode: OUTCASTBOS


-LET'S PLAY SATURDAY-


......We've got nothin', and that's YOUR FAULT!!


Send any gameplay videos or Let's Plays that you or someone you know has created here!



-FURREH OF THE WEEK-  

Here's you're Furreh of the Week; He's Silver, he's a fox, his name is Pat, he's PatSilverFox! Let's talk to him ^_^

Tell us about yourself, Pat

I am 15, live in Connecticut, and am a homosexual silver foxy. An interesting fact about me is that I'm colorblind, so I am like a gray-scale rainbow.
I also have a mate named Adam (triscut900) who I love incredibly.


Why do you consider yourself furry?

It is pretty much a lifestyle for me. I read the comics,enjoy the art, and roleplay until the sun comes up (well whenever I'm writing in any kind of texting form). I'm trying to get hold of some furry clothing and toys at the moment, but shipping is becoming an issue (damn!).


And how'd you get into the group?

Well I enjoyed "Extra Credits" and "Zero Punctuation" (seen all of them) so I got an Escapist account. I always look for a furry group when I join a site with a forum, and if there isn't one I make one myself, but I found this one (yay!).
This group has been so nice to me. I can't believe how much care everyone has given to me here. I love this group so much.


We'll just get right into it. A while back a lot of your personal problems were brought to light in order to rally support around you. How much did that help?

I have to thank everyone for their help. I got so many messages, I couldn't help responding to all of them.
The support really helped me, and through this group I also found my mate! That has most likely been the most significant part of all of this, he definitely has cared for me the most through all of this.


Has any progress been made toward solving those issues?

Sorry, I don't believe there has, besides knowing that people are backing me, I don't things are getting better.

When you're not on the Escapist, what do you do?

I sleep when I can, and I'm on Escapist whenever I'm on the computer just like with skype and steam. I read and play xbox. I'm home a lot, but I can honestly say I don't do anything.


How's your Minecraft playing coming along?

I was making those videos because a friend said it would be good for me to focus on. I've gotten to stressed to do anymore, and honestly I don't enjoy breaking people's stuff in Minecraft, it isn't nice, even if they deserve it.
The bottom line is that I will not be making any videos anytime soon.


Anyone in particular in the group you think of as a good friend?

Adam obviously. I can't include everyone who is a friend to me, the list is too long and I don't want to risk ostracizing anyone, sorry!


And if you could add one thing to the group,, what would it be?

I really enjoy tinychat, it is much simpler to use and you don't need an account, also I think this blog should have a light background and dark text, it would be a nicer transition from our escapist page and would seem more friendly in my opinion.


Anything else you'd like it say?

I love this group!


Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?

I'm not sure about that, but I'm pretty sure you wish you were as hot as my boyfriend.
Editors Note: Oh fuck you, Pat x3


Thanks for the interview :3

No problem. Sorry that this was so late, I had some problems going on. I can't believe I got through this without any emoticons xD


Peace be the Furry?

Mrawrf! Yup! *wags his tail*

Furrehs Double Update! - May 2nd, 2011

THE FURREHS MEGA UPDATE
MAY 2ND, 2011

Share the Furrehs Update with furs you know and get the word out!

AH HELL!  Seems I severely shirked my duties and haven't put out an update at all last week...  Sorry about that. >.>

So, here's a MEGA SIZED UPDATE!  We've got Art, Gaming, Music, Cons, etc!
ECT!
GAH! Enough blabbing!  Let's get to it!

-ARTISTIC MONDAY-

Here we go again! ART TIME!!  Let's see what we've got this week...

We have this adorable piece courtesy of JakXT

Fine more of Jak's work at his DeviantArt page
And now we go to a decidedly less adorable picture from Dsaprox 



-FURREH OF THE WEEK-

This week it's Fiad's turn in the FotW spotlight.  Let's get right into the interview.

Tell us about yourself

Well I am 18 years old, living in Nebraska and about to graduate High School in about a week. I am a raccoon, am bisexual, and I never know what to say in the about yourself section of anything.

What made you identify as a furry?

Wow, that was awhile ago. Actually had to think on this one. I think I started identifying as one because after awhile of looking at the art and community it just sort of clicked in my head that I fit in really well.

And what brought you to the Furrehs?

I was looking in a thread about furry avatars and how they always had a creepy smile, I was just chatting in there, debunking some misconceptions about furries, when someone linked to the group. I just said screw it why not and joined.

When you're not on the Escapist what do you do?

Play video games or do voice acting work.

What's one thing you hope to get done in the near future?

Not flunking out of college later this year would be nice.

Were you wondering about where this interview was? >.>

A bit, kept checking my inbox about twice an hour, but no worries, everyone has to deal with the ravages of time at some point.

If you could add one thing to the group, what would it be?

Hmm, maybe a full gallery or something for people to post their art or stories.


Anyone you consider to be a really good friend in the group?

TAGM has been a good friend in the short time I have been here. Another would be Outcast. I am sure all the others are great as well but just haven't had much time talking to them.


What your favorite thing about space (Mine is space...)?

Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the store, but that's just peanuts to space...


Anything else you'd like to add?

Pancakes are yummy?


Does this look infected to you?

May want to get it checked out.


Thanks for the interview.

No sir thank you, it was my pleasure.


Peace be the furry?

Peace be to the furry. *Flies away*

-FURREH OF THE WEEK-

It's that time again!  Time to shine the spotlight one of our glorious members and make them FURREH OF THE WEEK!!  This week is a very lengthy and entertaining interview with the man, the panda, Pandaman1911!

Tell us about yourself.

Name: Christopher Balcer.
Serial Number: 10221991.
Rank: Certified Badass.
Age: Nineteen years strong.
Location: Maine, United States.
Occupation: Student at The University of Maine at Farmington.
Future Prospect: Conservational Biologist with a focus on Desert Ecology.
Race: Caucasian.
Sexual Orientation: Whatever works.
Favorite food: Seafood.
Favorite location: Tucson, Arizona.
Favorite brand of pants: Carhartt.

What's it like being a...panda? >.>
 
You get a lot of... well... recognition. We ain't all that common in the group, you know? At least... I haven't seen many. Now foxes, huskies, tigers, et cetera, they're a dime a dozen. Everywhere. Prolific. You'll not remember one simply for the fact that he's a fox, or a tiger, or whatever. Now, a panda? Oh yeah. You'll remember that. So people who see me tend to remember. Which makes it all the more awkward when I can't remember which of the fifteen bleedin' foxes a guy I'm talkin' to was. >.<

What brought you to the group?

Well, to trace it all the way back... Yahtzee Croshaw. Zero Punctuation drew me to The Escapist. I watched for a bit, decided the community was worth hanging around. Made an account, saw that there was a group... joined up. I don't really contribute much, unfortunately, which makes me feel like I joined the group just for the status, which is what I didn't want to happen. Been thinkin' about how I could contribute, even though I'm not really artistic and my creative writing spark went out years ago. I'll think of something eventually!

When you're not on the group, what do you like to do?

Video games! It's all about the video games. I keep my Steam Record at a 10.0 at all times, playing whatever I can. I do Xbox, too. Although I prefer single player. Don't like competitive multiplayer. Not against human players, anyway. It's not fun. Bots? I love bots. Bots don't camp. Or scream obscenities at you. Or go after you personally. Sorry, off track! I also like to just browse the Internet, watch YouTube, and look at p-... pictures.

What's your favorite form of entertainment?

Video games, of course. Shows are cool, but... I mean, there's just nothing that compares to interactivity.

You mostly use the live chat on the off-site forum. What makes that more appealing?

Mainly the fact that I don't have to mash F5 like I'm back in 4chan waters. I can multitask. Hear a little beep, go over, see if anything's worth saying, if not, go back to what I'm doing, if so, say something, and go back to what I'm doing. Plus the color cues make it nice and easy to distinguish users.

Speaking of appeal, why do you consider yourself furry at all?

Excellent question! One I've found myself asking... er, myself... a few times recently. I think it's mainly because I identify several of my characteristics with that of Ailuropoda melanoleuca. Slow. Big. I've even got the circles around my eyes a bit. (Thanks to sleep deprivation, though.) Lovable. Docile. I dunno, finding animalistic traits in one's self seems to be a good indication of being a furry, doesn't it? And if not, then I guess there's always the porn. That was a good indication.

Anyone in the group you consider to be a close friend?

Got plenty of friends, too many to list, really. Although the person I knew from the beginning, really... I think the first person I started talking to, really, was Cingal, AKA The Lunatic. We talk a lot, about a lot of different things, both serious and silly/stupid.

Anything else you'd like to say while you have time?

Just wanted to say I appreciate all everyone does for the group, so on and so forth. This has all had a lot of time and effort put into it, and it's a shame I haven't managed to contribute much to it. The group, I mean.

Thanks for the interview

Oh, no, thank YOU.

Oh, and Portal 2 is effin' awesome, right?

Yeah, it was. Biggest improvement over the previous was the music, I felt. Not the end songs, those were cute, but nothing rivals Still Alive. I just like how they integrated music into the gameplay more. Made it more integral, more organic, relate it more to what you were doing than the first, where it was just background music played occasionally.

Peace be the Furry?

Yeah... I guess until we've massed enough weapons, peace is our only option.

-ARTISTIC MONDAY-

Artistic Monday is quickly becoming my favorite time of the week.  I'm loving all the work that this group puts into their talent, whatever it may be.  And we have no shortage of artwork today, so let's get started.


Dsaprox is first up this week, with a drawing of a random dragon he's dubbed....um...Random Dragon >.>

 You can see more from Dsaprox at his DeviantArt account, where he specializes in TF drawings.  He is also a writer. 


Next up, PoisonUnagi provided us another audio sampling.  Sadly, Inkbunny is dumb and doesn't allow embedding, so you'll just have to go to the page yourself to see it.


And also, for convenience, here is his entire Inkbunny profile



JakXT now graces Artistic Monday with his presence.  He was working hard until the deadline to give us this drawing of himself as CommanderVideo in the world of BIT.TRIP Runner.  Clearly a good ammount of effort went into this drawing.


 As always, you can see more of Jak's work at his DeviantArt account.


And Fox KITSUNE makes it three for three on AM appearances with his Furry Nation flag.


As always, we want your submissions for Artistic Monday.  Submissions accepted until time of publication, but try to get them in as soon as possible.  Send all submissions in a PM to TheTygerfire

 -DJ FUR w/ JamesJoltWolf-
















And now, two special requests from Mosesj

-FURREH OF THE WEEK-

The Aussie's are taking over!  After Neokarl invaded the podcast last time we recorded, our Furreh of the Week this time around is nun other than Nunny.  hehe...I made a pun :3  To the interview!

Tell us about yourself, Nun

Hmm, well my name is Stephen Nunn, 21 year old from Victoria Australia. Rural lad, lived on a small Sheep farm for most of my life, currently studying Computer Systems Engineering. My fursona's a Cyborg Kelpie dog(wasnt originaly a cyborg but you lot are a violent bunch), i picked that because im horribly unimaginative and was getting bugged for a one.

When you're not on the Escapist, what do you enjoy doing?

Gaming mostly, though i do like to go on long walking adventures occasionaly as some of you may have heard.

How did you find the group and why did you join?

Originaly found the group when it was promoted during the old group promotion things that the escapist used to run. I joined because i wanted some place i could hang out and i happened to enjoy the Furry Fandom

What is your main appeal to being a fur?

Mostly the great community that surrounds it, pluss Anthropomorphic Animals are just fricking awesome!

There are a lot of Furrehs here, anyone you consider to be really good friends with?

I consider you all good friends :P, though if i had to pick some out they would be Fuzzbutt, Neokarl and JakXT.

What on your dream to-do list? Anything you'd like do do in the future?

Hopefully get a proper bloody job... i need money!
Other then that, traveling would be nice.

Opinion of the group?

Good, Bloody good

Least funny stereotypical Aussie quote?

Definitely would have to be "Shrimp on the barbie"
The most over used saying and on top of that we call them prawns not shrimp! Was only stated as such to appeal to American Audiences as the saying was part of a Tourist Advertisment.

Thanks for the interview, Nunny

No worries

Peace be the furry?

Peace? bah who wants peace when you can blow shit up!

Our first Artistic Monday subject is also our very first art video and comes to us from PatSilverFox, who also has only been with the Furrehs for just over a week.  It also from everyone's favorite Indie game, Minecraft.  Check out some modding he's done with the in-game portraits.

Pat also has other Minecraft videos on his Youtube channel, which you can check out HERE.  Hopefully he'll provide us more content in the future.

See more of his music at his Soundcloud account HERE
 

And yet another piece from Fox KITSUNE, November City at Night


And, what's this?  TheTygerfire actually managed to get a submission in as well?

Yes, I managed to find a few sketches I made for my boyfriend back in the day (2007) :3 I'm shocked I made them, as I have not an artistic bone in my body.  Here's both of them for you...

P-Chan (Ranma 1/2)

Shampoo in Cat Form (Ranma 1/2)
