Fist Puncher Meets Kony 2012
Invisible Children’s KONY 2012 documentary has brought increasing attention to the barbaric acts and unspeakable atrocities committed by Joseph Kony, leader of the violent Ugandan paramilitary group the Lord’s Resistance Army. With each passing day, more and more bloggers, media pundits, and celebrities are calling for the capture of Kony. We decided to take matters into our own hands and sent the cast from FIST PUNCHER to mete out a good, solid helping of justice.
Fist Puncher: Meet Steroid Jackson

Andre Jackson was a misunderstood man. Fans used to chant “cheater” and boo him mercilessly. But he loved the attention, even had his name legally changed to Steroid. It would be wrong to mistake his bravado for arrogance or stupidity. Steroid is a man of science. He believes performance enhancers will improve the human condition and sees himself as a guinea pig for modern medicine.

I saw you guys on THE NEXT GAME BOSS. WASHINGTON’S WIG looks hilarious. Will I ever get to play it?
First, thanks to everyone who has voiced support. We cannot express how much we appreciate it. Second, we’re working on the logistics of releasing WASHINGTON’S WIG. We’ll keep you posted.
I saw you guys on THE NEXT GAME BOSS. WASHINGTON’S WIG looks awful. How come you didn’t make something more artsy and high-brow?
We certainly could have tried to make a more esoteric, fringe game to appeal to a tiny minority of indie college snobs who spend most of their time moaning and groaning on obscure message boards from their dorm rooms and parents’ basements, but instead we tried to make a fun, light-hearted game that would appeal to the judges at IGN (a global leader in entertainment media) in hopes of winning a $10,000 prize package and a spot in IGN’s kick-ass Indie Open House.
Can we hang out?
Sure. We’ll be at GDC – find us there if you want to rap about games, sports, wigs, or whatever. Just look for the 2 grizzled lumberjacks. That’s us.
