hi all, Confurgence is coming up next year. I am very excited as this will be my first con but terrified that I will only just wander around and not talk to anyone as im very shy. Anyone have some tips to get out and talk to everyone?

What an absolute blast this was. You guys have blown us away yet again.

$2,500+ raised for charity, in one night.

This was so much fun. From the silly games, to crazy horsehead antics, to making out with someone for $50, this night will become a great memory of ours. Luckily it’s all recorded in 720p60 for your viewing pleasure, in several parts!

No audio recording on this one, just YouTube. Enjoy, and stay tuned for updates on our Extra Life campaign! Also: Shoutout to all the other furries and teams involved in the Furs For Life campaign. Not going to say dollars raised here because it’s still going!

FURCAST EXTRA LIFE CAMPAIGN INFO

 

FULL YOUTUBE PLAYLIST

 

Part 1 – NES Games:

We break out the classics, starting with some… uh… not classics. Anyway, we were just getting started but already the commentary is getting good. Oh, that and Fayroe discovered his superpower of being able to beat any game level as long as he plays it wearing a horsehead.

Part 2 – SNES Games:

We break out the… okay once again has anyone even heard of this? We do get to Zelda eventually!

Watch Video

 

Part 3 – Steam Games:

One of the funniest of the night. We delve into some really weird and questionable steam games. One is centered around showering with your dad and another seems to either be a game about becoming a certified electrician… or else maybe just a giant metaphor for sex. Find out!

Part 4 – Prop Hunt:

We join several members of the chat room and play the popular Garry’s Mod Mod (Modception?), “Prop Hunt.”

Part 5 – Wii U Games:

First we played Mario Kart. Then we played Mario Kart with horseheads. Hilarity ensues.

Playing a quiz game that requires fast and precise button pressing… with paws. Yeah.

I feel emotions I had never felt before I found furry art, and I'm not sure if I like it.

How, if at all, has being in this fandom bled into real life? (self confidence, wearing tail to work/school, howling at the moon from your roof, etc)

I told her I was a furry. I figured that if I can do it IRL then I can do it here. I've already gotten my fursona (in word form) but I can't draw. I am still a bit shaky from telling her.

I think that's the right way of phrasing it anyways...

We've got Undertale seeping into people's hearts, a game clearly made by lovers of anthropomorphism. We've got Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper movies pushing to rejuvenate those series. We have Zootopia next year as well. There's even BoJack Horseman that's been semi-mainstream and well received.

Are things changing? Are we going to continue seeing a rise in the use of anthropomorphic characters and concepts in media?

After reading through 70+ applications and then voting on the top applications each mod desired, the moderators of /r/furry have decided to bring on four new moderators. Three of the new moderators are from Europe and one is from America. This will help our team with moderating the reddit around the clock as our community grows larger then ever. We are excited to welcome /u/ceressergal, /u/veldtfotter, /u/marshykip, and /u/big_red_hothead to our team.

Culturally F’d

Funding on Patreon

So! When I heard the awesome little mini-videocast Culturally F’d had launched their Patreon, I was all “OOH! It’s time to do that blog post about thoughtful furry journalists on Patreon!”

But I’m not sure there are any other furry journalists on Patreon. I checked. Flayrah? Nope. [Adjective][Species]? Nope. Dogpatch Press? Nope. That one extremely niche blog that focuses on furry crowdfunding including Patreon? (crickets) Knotcast? Well, yes, but that’s a…different category.

Okay, so, it’s just Culturally F’d then, that’s okay! If you haven’t seen this quirky video podcast, it’s a series of features—mostly short 5-10 minute bits, some longer—focusing on…

hmm…

Well, they don’t focus on furry culture, not quite, that’s too incestuous. Mostly Culturally F’d focuses on the intersection of culture and furry. Pieces like The Old Gods and the New dig into myth and religion, and YIFF vs MURR focuses on, of all things, the birth of the 30-minute cartoon commercial (He-Man and other shows that exist just to push a product). Some pieces are furry-internal, like Furry Dialect and Lingo.

Influences? There’s parallels between the dense, highly edited PBS Idea Channel, and if I’m not off base, part of the inspiration of the show might have been PBS’s Idea Channel’s friendly callout to the Furry Fandom  back in 2013 (or their more recent episode which pops the question, “will there ever be a furry politician?“) Both video casts have a style that tends toward research boiled down into rapid-fire bullets, a host that’s cut and spliced so fast that you start to hold your breath just in sympathy, image pop-ups and references. Both condense ideas into very short, bite-sized podcasts that you can eat with lunch.

Although if you donate through Patreon, you can access Culturally F’d After Dark, which addresses some of the adult themes of the fandom. I don’t think Idea Channel goes there, diverse though they are.

Season One is wrapped up now, and they channel is getting ready to launch Season 2. I’d start with the episodes themselves, there’s a “season wrap” episode but it’s really very “two guys on a couch”…literally!  Nope, start with episode one, which touches on the series big concepts. Though I’m going to spoil it for you here: furries are a product of their culture. We’re wrapped up in history and popular media, even if we style ourselves as outsiders.

Want to learn more? You can “meet” host Arrkay over on FA, where he posts pictures of birds. Or join the conversation on Facebook.

Today's totally-not-late-because-I-finally-got-Undertale-and-lost-track-of-time question is:

Does your ‘sona have any unique birthmarks or other physical features on them?
