It’s human nature. But not many—in fact, only one person—has made it into reality, and he goes by the name punchesbears. Naked Danny DeVito Power Rodeo 2 (also known as si - Author: Amanda Wallace - Tags: News, bear rodeo, #wp, #wp-post, #Import 2024-07-26 09:39 Like many people, I’ve wondered what a naked Danny Devito would look like riding a bear as if he were a world-class rodeo rider. It’s human nature. But not many—in fact, only one person—has made it into reality, and he goes by the name [punchesbears](http://punchesbears.com/?ref=killscreen.com). *Naked Danny DeVito Power Rodeo 2* (also known as simply “Bear Rodeo”) is the game at hand, wherein Danny DeVito ragdolls his way astride a big brown grizzly bear. The bear’s name is Roscoe and he’s appeared in many of punchesbears prototypes, including one where “DD and the bear… fight/wrestle over a trashcan sandwich.” What he has not appeared in is *Naked Danny DeVito Power Rodeo 1*, a game which does not exist. > \[NAKED BEAR RODEO INTENSIFIES\][#gamedev](https://twitter.com/hashtag/gamedev?src=hash&ref=killscreen.com) [#gameart](https://twitter.com/hashtag/gameart?src=hash&ref=killscreen.com) [#indiedev](https://twitter.com/hashtag/indiedev?src=hash&ref=killscreen.com) [#madewithunity](https://twitter.com/hashtag/madewithunity?src=hash&ref=killscreen.com) [#unity3d](https://twitter.com/hashtag/unity3d?src=hash&ref=killscreen.com) [#indiegame](https://twitter.com/hashtag/indiegame?src=hash&ref=killscreen.com) [#animation](https://twitter.com/hashtag/animation?src=hash&ref=killscreen.com) [#physics](https://twitter.com/hashtag/physics?src=hash&ref=killscreen.com) [pic.twitter.com/wdoiCKPKfo](https://t.co/wdoiCKPKfo?ref=killscreen.com) > > — ʕノ•ᴥ•ʔノ ︵ ┻━┻ (@punchesbears) [December 28, 2015](https://twitter.com/punchesbears/status/681595093409607681?ref=killscreen.com) If you’ve heard of *Bear Rodeo* it is probably through a series of GIFs punchesbears has posted [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/punchesbears?ref=killscreen.com), where it’s accompanied with a soundtrack of [classical music](https://twitter.com/punchesbears/status/738256737476562944?ref=killscreen.com) or [Nas](https://twitter.com/punchesbears/status/749310698203721728?ref=killscreen.com) (do yourself a favor and turn the volume up to 11 for proper viewing). It’s not punchesbears’s only prototype, a full list of which includes a [battlefield with a chainsaw wielding bear](https://twitter.com/punchesbears/status/714507175633113088?ref=killscreen.com) and a [drunken quest for burritos](https://twitter.com/punchesbears/status/715582621946777601?ref=killscreen.com). DeVito was naked in the prototype They’re physics-heavy games, and that’s intentional: “I plan on all of my games using nothing but physics animations. I feel like physics-only animations are an area of videogames that have not been fully explored so I’m trying to push into uncharted territory. I feel like the Captain Kirk of videogame physics… not entirely sure where I’m going, but I don’t care as long as it’s some place new.” ![Bear](https://storage.ghost.io/c/25/84/2584b75d-4bd6-4cce-8259-f1d1c65abbb5/content/images/previously/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/bear.jpg) And DeVito? “I love *It’s Always Sunny \[in Philadelphia\],”* punchesbears writes. Early game prototypes included a version of “Night Krawlers,” a worm-like game referenced by Charlie and Frank in an episode of the comedy series. “I was going to make Night Krawlers the videogame. An IP lawyer told me that was a very bad idea so I stopped.” DeVito was naked in the prototype, because “I had not yet learned how to model clothing.” From there, punchesbears moved into more physics-heavy animations and the prototypes that he’s known for today. Since an early prototype featured the DeVito character model, he makes an appearance in other games as well. > Accidentally redirected all forces to a single character.

He has not responded yet, but I assume I will get a Cease & Desist from his lawyers at some point!” *You can find out more about punchesbears and his many prototypes at [his Twitter](https://twitter.com/punchesbears?ref=killscreen.com) and [website](http://punchesbears.com/?ref=killscreen.com).* > Nas Is Like.
