Some things from right here in the grim, dark future.
Hi there. Insert a joke about me with your marmoset >here<.
- Looks like Canada is gonna be stuck with me. I'm told to apologise to you Canuckistanis out there. It was only a matter of time, really. Yeah, it's nice here.
- Really nice.
- Cracked.com nails my thoughts on Twitter. Sure, I understand the micro-blogging thing, but if I tried it you'd see maybe a 3 word post from me a week. Maybe. And we just can't have that. I have people to annoy. Seriously. If you do Twitter: neat. But I doubt I'll ever get on board. I guess maybe to look cool "shouting out" to industry folks-- you know, those bastards who want my +5 Pop-Tarts.
- Have I mentioned I'm lazy/scatterbrained? So I have no idea what you are talking about right now. What was that? Really? Kittens AND peanut butter? Okay, sounds good.
- Dear Russian friends: I really like those of you on my f-list, but my Cyrillic reading sucks serious major ass. I try, though; and there are always online translators to help out. But if you don't know me and add me on here, drop me a line... because your lj is all Greek to me.
- Except I can read Greek.
- Mostly.
- Speaking of Greek, I had to get a couple more trades of Rex Mundi right away. Reading this series gives me the same feeling I had when I read the first trade of Astro City. The only difference is that it's lasted for four trades. One thing I've noticed is the trades of Rex Mundi are a sharp improvement over the "floppies". They're not riddled with notes referring to previous issues and the website which really must've messed up the immersion value. Plus the trades have all sorts of goodies.
- I like Rex Mundi so much that I convinced Lord Orcus I should create a Rex Mundi-based strip for Orcusville. Take a look at Et In Tartarus Ego.
- Soon I will start reading some of The Red Star.
- Oh yeah, I'm adding this after the posting fact. Valerie of Occasional Superheroine fame is going to be writing a Cloak & Dagger series for Marvel comics. That's pretty goddamned awesome, if you ask me (and you must have). Read about it more here. I'm not exactly a huge fan of superhero comics, and Cloak & Dagger was always something that was usually "eh" to me. However, I think Val is pretty rad, and so I'll check this series out when it hits stands. Because you know it will be good.
- You may have seen this, you may have not: The Historic tale Construction Kit. That's right, you can now construct your own Bayeux Tapestry.
- One of you jerks pointed me in the direction of Transcendence. Let's see if this game is as good and addictive as I'm told. I'm pretty buried in history, fantasy, and pulp at the moment, so a space-based game might be just what I need.
- Another thing I dug up...from someone. Damned memory. Anyway, it's the "original D&D comics" by Bill Willingham. You may know him as "that dude who created Fables, one of the greatest comics ever, uhm, created". I remember these ads. This makes me like Mr. Willingham even more. Is that even possible??
- Okay, you've made it this far. Anyone interested in an online game-group playing Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy? Two parties are interested so far. Speak up. I'd really like to see this game not fall to the galactic wayside. :P
That's it. Why are you still reading this? Get back to your lives, dammit! You have seals to save or something.
