1:19 pm - On TNA video game...
|
Maybe some of my video game and wrestling friends out there can explain this to me:
Is TNA Impact slated to be GREAT.. or SUCK?
Apparently it is the prettiest wrestling game to date. Fine.
It has a limited CW and limited Multi-player. Fine.
All I give a shit about is storyline mode really...
BUT!
I can't find a single review of this game, which if this was a hollywood blockbuster, would mean it's probably written by M Nigh Shamalan - ZING! - But the fact that Midway hasn't sent out review copies at all, and the game is due out next week seems a bit telling to me as well.
Any one got an inside track on it?

8:35 am - On The Fall...
|
Some people see the greens fade into the yellows.
Some people feel the wind stiffen up a bit.
Others recognize it's fall because they can smell it in the air.
I recognize that Fall is upon us when I drive to work...
..and see the Catholic school girls all heading in for the first days of class.
I <3 Jesus.

8:26 am - On Stereotyping Politicks...
|
Ok, so if we are to assume that the world doesn't pay attention to anyone's actual issues or beliefs... and we're solely basing our vote on the most shallow decisions we can... then:
All black men are voting for Obama.
All white men are voting for McCain.
All white women are voting for McCain.
...in the stereotype wars, who wins for black women? Obama or Palin?

8:05 am - On Thursday Night...
|
If I toldja all that I would be hosting karaoke over at the Radisson Hotel in Piscataway, wouldja go?
I am. You should.
This week is a test run, especially with the hope that the collection that I bought gets here on time. (And I'm eternally grateful of the provider of those discs (In case she reads this :)))
So if you go there and I tell you 'LAPTOP BROKE!' or 'SPEAKERS DON'T WORK!' or 'CLAMS GOT SCRUPLES!' ...don't feel bad.
An official launch of the night will be in a week er two.
But if you are around on Thursday and you want to sing the best selection of karaoke music I've ever seen... show up but don't expect much. :)
21 Kingsbridge Rd
Piscataway

10:07 am - On Print Runs and Prices and Shit...
|
Jeffrey just put something into perspective for me.
I bought a print run of my books (Small print runs) of my books in February/March and I'm sold out.
This is the best convention season I've ever had. I'm sold out of my run.. something I hadn't expected. 5 months is a quick turn around, but now I have a problem...
I have TWO shows left on the season roster and I don't have the stock to support the shows, nor do I have the money to get another small print run together. Even if I did, there is NO way that Ka-Blam would have the books to me in time for the 2nd show in two weeks.
I'm not sure what to do about this... I don't want to NOT have supplies for a show, but I can't justify a RUSH ORDER on these books as it would cut into my abysmally small profits.
What to do .. what to do...

1:05 am - On Pets...
|
I don't like owning pets.
I love pets.. I love cats.. chins.. cute fuzzies. I really just love em' and would have a ton, but I don't know if I ever will or could.
I can't deal with them dying.
This is probably deep in my psyche, as I have an utter fear and hatred of the concept of death. The idea that I would have given this animal all the love in the world, but upon agreeing to be their caretaker, I would be agreeing to live with them their entire life hurts. Primarily because I know that if I had a cat from a kitten or a chin from a kit that in 15 years or so, I'll have to be ready to say good-bye to them... let alone if they pass earlier.
It hurts more than when someone I know dies. I know there are exceptions to that, like close family or friends... but if my cat died, a cat that I had known since it's infancy - I would feel so much more hurt and upset than if a person I occasionally saw died.
I know I have a lot of pet owners in my list... how do you deal with that pain? How do you sit there and tolerate that ache?
I just don't know how... and don't know if I could ever learn to do so.

4:26 pm - On Kingdom Hospital...
|
I'm currently going through Kingdom Hospital. It's Stephen King, and I know a bunch o' people on my friendslist were fans.
I'm not sure though.
I'm just under halfway through, and I assume it's building towards something, but I'm unsure entirely of what. There's the obvious conflict and resolution of the ghosts existing in the hospital, but I'll try not to be spoilerific here.
What has me OFF about the show is that I can't tell if I enjoy it or not. King wrote the teleplay based off of another guy's television show. Interesting to start... it's dark, and quirky... and... it's Twin Peaks without the charm.
That's it in a nutshell. The strange characters line the place, but in the end it comes down to the fact that it FEELS like the writer was trying to be David Lynch and got it a little out of focus.
I'll reserve all final critique til the end, as I am looking forward to the culmination of all this strangeness, but I did want to mention that I'm watching it.

10:09 am - On Internet Superstardom...
|
It started here.
Danielle Corsetto decided that I was fun to draw. So one of her characters, Jameson, is artistically based on me.
It continued on...
Corsetto decided that Jameson was way too unflawed.
I'll let you continue on that storyline as you choose...
Then it started again..>
Jennie has me in her strips from time to time, if only because it's her life, and I have occassionally glimmered through her life. This was the first one I found, but not the first one I was featured in.
Now...
Christie has gotten in on the action...
All in reference to that damn Corsetto story.
I'm becoming a webcomic in-joke. It's kinda neat.

9:54 am - On Video Gaming...

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=211273
Spore is on it's way. A game I've been waiting for for at least 3 years.
Why?
Because if Will Wright does what he has done at least twice before (with SimCity and then the Sims.. and let's not forget the oft forgotten but totally fun SimAnt) Spore is going to change gaming.
That's what is interesting about the Sims. Hardcore gamers got into it for all the detail work. Lax gamers got into it because it was kind of low maintenance. In the end, everybody went 'HOLY FUCK I SPENT A MONTH LIVING SOMEONE ELSES COMPUTER LIFE' and moved on... but that was after every gamer ever did that. Ever. Evereverever. Not forgetting of course adventures in murder, alien abduction, and fucking the housekeeper... all fantastic Sims variables.
Now Spore. Start as a fucking zygote and become the King of the Universe... but not really. That's where Spore is even more interesting. When you go and explore space (after you've achieved space exploration) - you are exploring the worlds created and manipulated by other people. I'm not sure the level of interactivity, but the basic idea that this game is a single person adventure, but with a glimmer into an online world is excellent.
I don't personally give much of a shit about the online experience of a game.. I don't like deathmatch.. I barely like two players in the same room. I DO like the idea that I can enjoy seeing other people's weird creations... and destroy or befriend them... and they know it without getting all pissy on me.
Spore is soon.. yay.

8:37 am - On Otakon
|
Best weekend of sales ever.
Place was P-P-P-p-p-p-paaaaacked! As always, got to hang with friends and goof off bunches.
Made an important IHL business deal that will be hopefully fruitful both IHL product wise as well as personal growth wise.
Made one major realization: Need new products. People are coming up now and some have that chomping at the bit attitude I am jealous that Jennie of Devil's Panties sees frequently. The fan that comes up and says:
"What's new?"
"Oh nothin, how've you been?"
"No, I mean what are you selling that's NEW?"
"This and this."
"Sold."
I've started to see that glimmer in people's eye. It's fucking awesome. Sadly, all I had new this year was a $2 black and white book. I want/need another $5 color book done before next con season. (Starting February). I would LOVE the next Collection (Strips 101 - 200) to be ready... we'll see.
Now to work from 8 - 4 to make money to make IHL.
For the next few months... being great at IHL is all I want to do. I'm so focussed, I'm the fucking death star of webcomics.
