Xnutzi and Xnitzi, the spinof from the godzilla vs series by Bob Nimbe is back with episode 4. seems bob is going for something weekly! Tough luck for all non-swedes who can only enjoy coded vectorart with speechsynths and all that. Like a demo but still not. And alot of programmer related nerd-jokes. But who designed the new spacecraft bob? I would also like to mention that bob has because of popular demand uploaded alot of godzilla vs videos to youtube. Check it out, some real swedish demoscene history right there!

I’ve received some questions about who is drawing Gem Tos, and now lately the robot cowboy on the backside of The Knife compilation, so I thought its time to write about pr0f / Comic Bakery.
First time I heard & saw Bob Nimbe aka pr0f, was on the demo party Icing 1999 in an ice hockey arena outside Gothenburg. He was on stage receiving a price, but there was confusion, since the speaker had a problem understanding who he was because of his southern Swedish accent, so he was going like “who are you? “poff”? no there are no “poff” on my list”. Well bob finally made himself clear and got his price. For a simple but lovely little animation called Ninja.

When you watch it, take notice of the sound, as you can hear that familiar and brutal late 90s demo party ambiance in the background aka “every visitors brings a minimum of 5kw of sound along” as they recorded the sound at the party. Or maybe they added that intentionally what do I know? =)

Anyway, since then, I have stumbled upon prof on practically every southern Swedish demo party I ever visited and always enjoyed his series of godzilla animations. godzilla visiting various Swedish demo parties to ravage rape and kill, or well, sit down on it, somehow it feels abit inspired by Tove Janssons character Morran, or I might just be tripping. Anyway i’ve always seen him as one of the most talented graphists to come out of the Swedish demo scene. But for some reason he dont like to put portfolios online that could help me prove that to you._.

Bob Himself wandering the Gothenburg suburbs?

Another character, or a pair actually, was introduced in one of the godzilla movies, which made godzilla himself more like a side character than the main event (like rising up from Sävelången to trash The Feeling 2000 just to get stopped by bob himself turning manga on him, or was that 1999 too?) and that is two small warezsucking aliens flying around in dead space with a spaceship equiped with a Commodore 1338: Xnitzy && Xnutzi. And those two have now, thanks to bob of course, got their own frequent show on Apan Bepan. So here they are. Xnitzy && Xnutzi
