The first of what I would like to make a weekly friday plug column for other stuff I love! First round: HAWP!
Hey Ash Whatcha Playin'? is a video series done by a brother and sister team that love games, comedy and having a blast on camera. They release videos on a regular basis, based around seasons, and the typical format entails picking one game or topic for every video. The videos are all full of hilarious antics revolving around the family of Ashley, Anthony and their Dad. Don't be surprised to see costumes, cross dressing, comic violence and intentionally offensive jokes, mostly at Anthony's expense. But, its not all for the funny hear, many of the videos also make very interesting points about games, mechanics, industry trends and stories. EVERY SINGLE ONE of these videos merits a watch, from both an informational and a comedic standpoint.

This video in particular is especially relevant because Anthony, now an employee of Gearbox Software is a very outspoken member of the gaming community. A very outspoken member of the gaming community that just so happens to be color blind. He actually wrote an article for Destructoid many moons ago wherein he talked about being a color blind gamer, its very interesting and you can check it out here.
