Huh...
Lately I've just been falling asleep at the drop of a hat. For instance, around 9 or so last night I took a shower and meant to read with The Shron in bed (that's how we roll, yo), and I get out, lay down, and next thing I know it's 7am. WTF?
Anyhow, it's nice to get some rest, that's for sure.
In other news, these things I need to clear out of my tabs here on FF...
From Craigslist, bastion of sanity and hope-mill of Mankind springing eternal: Your Pets will not be Flagged for Removal During the Rapture. Good to know! And now there's someone to take care of your pets after all you good neo-Xians are gone to Shangri-La or a strip joint or a men's washroom at the spiritual thingy-place. The awesome part? It's only a $50 downpayment. Shit, that's like 20 Canadian bucks or 3 Euros!

Gamer thing of Interest: Louis Porter Jr. Design gives us a "4th Edition Compatible" logo. Pretty smart. And it's free.
E3 might have been an anti-spectacular dud this year, but there was a lot of good news. One item that seems good at first kinda rubs me the wrong way once I thought about it a bit. BioWare will be doing a Knights of the Old Republic MMORPG. KOTOR MMO? Hm, sounds awesome at first-- but then I mumbled "No KOTOR 3 then? Fuck." Why do a KOTOR MMO? The Star Wars MMO is out blowing gamers for cash or something these days. And now EA/BioWare are confident that yet ANOTHER MMO game is the answer (granted, it's not an epic Sony Online fucktarded fuck-up this time)... and it's branded "KOTOR"? Hey, if you like those boring-ass, grind-heavy, super-lame MMOs, that's cool. I keep trying, but to no avail. I always get bored with them. Just when I think I'm loving it (Dungeon Runners, for instance), I just sigh and say "this sucks ass, I could be brushing my teeth for more relevant XP". And hey, Dungeon Runners is great-- but I don't think MMOs are for me (at least not yet). Anyhow, KOTOR MMO? Lame. Thoughts?
Speaking of MMOs and such, I did discover one I might be interested in taking out for a spin. Just when it was put on hiatus! DAMN. I hope I get a chance to check out Mythos eventually. Sigh.
I've been plonking away at the first installment of Total Party Kill for Comics Waiting Room. I like this every-two-weeks schedule. No pressure, especially when I have other things I'm needing to focus on. I feel bad that I couldn't do TPK for the excellent Weekly Geek (who are looking for writers, btw), but the blogging thing just didn't work out for me (yeah, I suck). Unsurprisingly, TPK is mostly rambling stream-of-consciousness crap from Yours Truly somewhat structured into different sections. Breaks down into Intro; RPG gaming stuff, where I yabble about rp games and such; "Arbitrary Random Idea Generator", where I give at least one good source for crazy ideas and inspiration; and "Short Uncontrolled Bursts", where I briefly talk about some comics I think will appeal to fellow gamer-nerds. I might go a little more in detail for "The Spotlight of the Fortnight" (i.e. my fave pick). The first installment is somewhat lengthy, though that's no indication of how long each installment will be. Items covered: Red Sonja, The Helm, Conan, Wolfskin comics and more; the new Traveller, Chaosium's Basic RPG, getting back into GURPS, the Starblazer RPG preview and more. Um, don't expect high detail. I'll try to get some good commentary in, but I only have some much space. Sometimes it might be "Yeah, this looks really neat!", though I'll try to be more interesting than that. Of course, suggestions and ideas are most welcome! :)
Annnnnd that's about it for now. Don't forget to add
orcusville_feed to your friends-list if you haven't already, and make sure to VOTE for Lord Orcus and his pals on the main page of Orcusville. Thanks!!
And yes, I sure wish I could be at SDCC this year, but buying this nice house and keeping up my lifestyle of hookers and blow came first. Maybe next time around...
