Yes I've restarted Mass Effect 1. Why? Possibly because I'm getting sucked into the hype machine, with it's threshers,grinders and fucker uppers of hope and expectation. I'm possibly, maybe, looking forward to ME2. But no more. Shut up I do not love her! Stop writing notes saying Ahriman loves ME2! Childish....
But I may pick it up when the carnage clears and I finish the 30 billion games I have to chew through.
My new job is a real thrill an aeon place. But it is actually not that bad. Sure my back is sore and my eyes are fritzed by the screen it feels as though I do something important-even if it isn't for Phoenix Wright (I WAS LIED TO!)
So yeah- I've been a lazy cunt of late and have written....er...nothing. So I have an ingenious plan and it is coming to fruition. basically teasing mself with my ideas. Like a burlesque dancer I allow my mind to wander to the awesome game/comic/ novel and read snatches of it. I then think "Wow awesome, where can I read that!?" and then let a little voice say "You haven't written it yet you knob." I then grind my teeth and vow to write it down. I's edin me ever closer.
Also decided to use the multiple projects method ie have seveal things to do so you don't get sick of them. They are
Donor-A Steampunk Jack The Ripper-esque mystery set in London 1886. As a madman prowls the streets of Londinium and slaughters the lower classes, organ donations are on the rise....It's up to Mackleroy (Once 15th in line to the throne-disbarred for calling the Queen 'Vicky you old tart') and O Malley (A de-frocked priest of the church of Tesla) to catch the bastard and discover the meaning behind the runes carved into victims.
Armitage-Lovecraftian horror game whose script and setting I shall develop. Following Thadeus Armitage from young man in New innsmouth to his tenure at Miskatonic University and his battles with the mythos-from the disturbing revaltions of his own family, to The windswept Northern Canadian wilds where Ithaqua walks to The Circus of The Yellow king, the player shall experience the terror of the Old Ones as they make thier move to align the stars and walk freely again...
Agency-Lovecaftian (again) comic wherin the Agency of the title is tasked with defending man kind from the horrors of the Cosmos and Mythos. Agents are chosen for thier aptiuide and brushes with the Beyond and carry on thier normal lives....until the call on that black mobile comes in. Few reoccuring characters, a high mortality rate, copious amounts of eldritch gore and a Welshman with a VERY short temper.
Think Global Frequency meets Ghostbusters.
Ceremony/ Nightwatchman-Two short Warhammer stories. Ceremony is set in the 40k universe on the primal world of Feggana where young Hanak will undergo harsh trials to become one of the 'Warriors of the Sky'. Nightwatchman is a Fantasy story set in Nuln, where a rough merc recounts his tale and belief in the Skaven.
So clearly plent to be getting on with.
Also a notice-I am consider doing something special this election (Which is definately not May 6th.) And by special I don't mean waving my penis at traffic yelling 'Vive le sport.' No am talking about Twater. Er...Twitter. I am thinkng of signing up, logging in and twittering away as the results come in on election night, fueled only by beer, Monster energy drink, cynicism, hatred, misanthropy and sheer British stubborness.
Would anyone care? Probably not but I'd like your thoughts. And I promise only to use the word Cunt when Mandelsons on screen ( I'll have to go get the Profanisaurus to find new terms for Cameron et al.)
And it's good bye from me...
and it's goodbye from him.
