[Series Reboot]Live From the Hop Inn Episode 208
Scary shit!
Look what we got here… another BedFellows video cartoon meant for the adult eyes only. This episode isn’t so much porn and shit this time around, but its still makes it’s kicks. I think each episode gets better and better. I wish in this episode they would make the main story line stick out more though. I mean, I feel that somethn’ funny should happen more so then he just fainting, but with more knowledge now known from the creators in the past will come more power for the future. I hope to see more and can’t wait!
Rain-Slick 3 Fanfiction Update includes Furry Pack
Penny Arcade's On The Rain-slick Precipice of Darkness Three got a little bit of fur in their game this week, with a special free update that adds two very gene-altering skin packs to the game. The first is of much more relevant interest to our viewers! The Furry Pack includes Tycho as a Lion, Gabe as a Pony, Moira as an American Red Fox and Jim as a Turtle. This pack and the other one also alter the party in cutscenes.
The other pack changes each of the characters' genders, where Tycho is called Tyche, Gabe is called Gabbie, Moira is Manuel, and Jim is Benjamina.
The pack is already available on Steam and is soon to come on XBLIG.
Episode VI is now LIVE
Any of you fuzzies going to be at Indy Fur Con? My mate Alkali will be Guest of Honor.
He'll be running many Lupis In Tabula games, running Who's Lion Is It Anyway, doing the Dragget Show Live with me, and co-hosting the charity show with Kage.
So, any of you guys going? It should be a fun time! I hope to see you there!

Furry Needs Assertiveness Training
It's a common theme in my life that I'm too passive to react to negative situations that people place upon me; indeed, it is a daily occurrence and I am oft filled with regret for not speaking my mind. The background is as follows:
- There are definitely a few remaining-unnamed-individuals that only wish to be around me when I have money and am willing to pay for all expenses. I attempt not to do as such, but it happens every so often. I rarely am around anyone else, so it feels as if I'm paying for their company.
- When someone's plans don't follow through, I'm the backup plan where my compliance is pretty much guaranteed. This often happens in the workplace, where even if I do say something, I end up having to do whatever it was that they desired anyway.
- My living accommodation is quite strict about the cleanliness. I clean every morning, vacuum, dust, take out the trash, organize my belongings and make my bed. I have a roommate. He takes out his trash, makes his bed and puts away his belongings. Other than that, he makes no efforts to help and the responsibility to keep the room clean falls upon me. I've voiced my opinion and have only been shouted at.
- Many other instances
To be short, it isn't so much that I'm weak in my compliance, but that my reluctance isn't a part of me. I find myself being too nice to people and gain nothing from it. What is the point of being nice to others when it only becomes a detriment? How can I go about being assertive while maintaining a passive politeness about me? It would probably be easier just to beat someone with a stick and use that as an example for others, but I'm not allowed to do that.
So, what is a tactful approach to these situations?

Dear Zerink,
It is possible to be polite to people without being a doormat (and without using a stick LOL). Your question, “How can I go about being assertive while maintaining a passive politeness about me?” is phrased somewhat incorrectly. "Polite" doesn’t have to be used in conjunction with "passive." Indeed, you can be very assertive while also being polite, such as, “I really enjoy your company, but when we go out to dinner together tonight I must insist we go Dutch. Everyone will pay for his or her own meal.” Or, “It helps that you take out the trash and make your bed, but if we’re going to be roommates we have to split the chores 50/50. Otherwise, I think we need to find new roommates. And you can yell all you want, but volume alone doesn’t win an argument. You know I’m right about this, so do your share and I promise to do mine.”
You don’t have to raise your voice, you don’t have to use swear words, just explain in simple, clear terms what your position is and don’t waiver. In fact, asserting your position in a calm, cool, and collected manner is much more effective than yelling; if done properly, it can even be a bit intimidating (evil chuckles).
If your current friends only want to be with you when you are paying, and if you refuse to pay and they leave you, then that is the very definition of “users.” You know this, and I know this. It is, frankly, better to be alone than to be around people who just want you for your money. You need to have enough self-respect to see this, and I think you do.
Work situations are a little different from friendships, of course. If your boss tells you to do something, you had better do it unless you have a darn good reason not to, like you just got hit by a bus. On the other hand, if you have a better way of doing something to get a goal accomplished for the company, you should propose it to your boss, which would hopefully impress him or her that you are trying to do what is best for the company and are showing initiative.
I’m not sure what you mean when you say “it isn't so much that I'm weak in my compliance, but that my reluctance isn't a part of me.” I’m sorry, but that makes no sense to Papabear. You are, in fact, being weak by letting people walk all over you, and your reluctance to say “no” is part of you at this current time, so the statement rings untrue to this bruin’s ears.
Now a part of your problem might be in how you try to stand up for yourself. You might be strong in your words, such as “No, I don’t want to pay for your meal,” but if you say it in a very soft, timid voice with your shoulders hunched and your eyes looking at your shoelaces, it won’t come off strong at all. Body language is very important in communication and can send a message 180 degrees the opposite of the words that come out of your mouth.
If this is the case, you might benefit from a very famous book called How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. A lot of what the late Carnegie says in his book seems pretty common sense, but many people don’t realize some very basic facts about dealing with people. I think you might benefit from it, and you could probably even borrow a copy from your local library so you don’t have to buy one.
I hope this helps. Feel free to write again if you have more questions. Good luck!

FurAffinity short urls for watermarks and emails
An artist friend of mine was trying to incorporate his FurAffinity url into his signature, so fans could find his user page easily from his art. Turns out the URL is way too long to easily be incorporated into a small space, so I made a really simple URL shortener specifically for FA users.
Its just f-a.in/your-username
Give it a try: f-a.in/fender

Big Bears of Doom
Over the past couple of years, Ethan Nicolle has made a name for himself as the artist for Axe Cop, a full-color comic book series written by Ethan’s pre-teen brother Malachai Nicolle. Now, Ethan is branching out as both writer and artist of a new on-line creation called Bearmageddon. Here’s how he describes it on the web site: “Bearmageddon is a story about a few every-day twenty-somethings getting caught up in an all-out war on mankind by grizzly bears. That’s all I’m going to say for now because I don’t want to spoil anything.” Uh, gee, thanks! All that we can tell is that the bears who attack humanity in this comic do so in some of the most bizarre mutant forms. You’ll have to see them to know what we mean. Bearmageddon updates every Wednesday and Friday. The image below is available as a poster, and a t-shirt is currently in the works.
