    NO MORE HEROES! 8D (And some other Wii game...)
    I finally got an beat No More Heroes!

    I was very weary about getting this game since it was by the same guy who did Killer 7 a game I hated... If they had only had told me it's NOTHING like Killer 7 I would have gotten it sooner!

    You're Travis Touchdown, and Otaku who happens to be an assassin in a videogame world. The game makes constant nods  and jokes about games, it's filled with retro sound effects and you even get to play a shmup!

    The game is pretty straight forward, get a part time job and then an assasination job and make enough money so you can pay the fee for the next ranking battle, win, upgrade and repeat.

    What I really loved is the pure zaniness of the game and the characters, the bosses are quite well designed and you'll feel bad after killing some of them.

    Try to make an effort and get all the swords in the game, you'll get the real ending which is totally insane and worth it! X3




    Oh... yeah... the other game.... It was Night for the Wii.... Frankly... I kinda hated it! All you do is fly, dash through hoops and make loop de loops.... When I got to the third level and saw the missions where basically the SAME once again I just couldn't play anymore.... :(

    By the way...
    Welcome aboard to new arrival [info]skepoet. I had time this morning to give you a quick add, but not enough time to properly acknowledge your arrival. :)

    Click here and (to a lesser extent) here to opt into my various content filters for friends-only posts, though you might get asked to do so again in about a week and a half.

    (Yeah, for those who've been here in a while, I'm considering re-configuring them yet again. It's been a little over a year...)

    Stephen King is a Genius
    Check out his latest venture HERE.

    CLICK IT and be AMAZED! I'll wait....

    For those of you not willing to take the plunge...

    Stephen King is releasing a previously unreleased short story in video form formatted especially for cell phones. The videos are done comic/graphic novel style and will released as a series available online or via CBS mobile. As with everything else cool, you can purchase them from iTunes. *insert grumbles about rights issues* A print version of the story will be released in a collection in November.

    *applauds Kings marketing skills or that off his PR firm*

    I think this is a great use of a fresh new medium. I think we will see more serials of this type in the future. Personally, I can't wait to see how it is received and what happens in the story.

    (The first episode is available for early viewing)

    I'm a total King fan girl. I'd melt to goo if I was ever lucky enough to meet him in person.

    Authors are Cool
    Really, they are.

    The ones I've met so far have been fabulous. Being surrounded by people of the like mind is intoxicating. (or it was the jumbo fruity alcohol beverage I enjoyed with dinner) I've spent so much of my life feeling like I didn't fit in, it's refreshing to mingle with the other "outsiders."

    I only have one complaint. There is only one of me and so many interesting panels I can't attend all the ones I want to. Since I have yet to discover the art of being in two places at one time, I'm hitting the ones I feel will be the most beneficial to me. (or the most entertaining)

    One of the highlights of the day was meeting Ilona Andrews and Mark Henry. (fan girl alert) It's nice to put a face to the name on the cover. They are both incredibly nice in person and I enjoyed visiting a bit with both of them.

    Now time to sleep and relax. I didn't sleep well last night. I don't know if it was the strange bed or con anticipation. I'm resting up so I can hang longer tomorrow evening.

    P.S. I think my next story will writing to Eminem. I'm feeling him right now for some reason.

    Bubbles!



    Me time..

    The bit I carved out of the evening was only long enough to show me an aching part. So Jesus arranged for some one on one after the Mat.

    I came home to an empty house and no heart for the night's work alone. So me and Jesus ate hdbing some spa time.

    The Remote Control is in My Hand!
    I haven't seen this posted yet.
    The remote control Dr. Horrible uses to control the van was made by calling up this website on his iPhone.
    I thought it looked like they were using an iPhone.

    affordable framer?
    I purchased some awesome silk screen prints at union square and I'd like to get them framed, but I have no idea where. I work near union square so that would be the best area, but I'd take anywhere off the 1 train, or in the inwood/washington heights area, or riverdale (I live in kingsbridge).

    thanks

    The Forever War, by Joe Haldeman
    When I finished reading Joe Haldeman's "The Forever War", I found myself wondering "Why didn't the protagonist go crazy?" "The Forever War" explores the nature of human relationship and culture in the context of time dilation: what happens when a soldier, fighting in space for a matter of months, returns home to an Earth that has aged hundreds of years?

    There's science in this here science fiction book, and an exploration of military tactics and lifestyle, but the real story here is an understated, sparely drawn reaction to the need we have for friendship and love--and how we develop when the odds of sustaining such relationships grow vanishingly small.

    "The Forever War" is a small book, simply and directly written, but it abandons structure often in favor of curiously and sincerely examining the machinations and consequences in its universe. The going gets slow, sometimes, but "The Forever War", is fundamentally a thoughtful story with a pleasant heart and an intelligent foundation.

    Sketchbook blowout

    So diary comics should be up tomorrow. In the meantime I have two things to share:


    We're blowing out a bunch of the old journals/sketchbooks Wendy made before she went to bookbinding school. These are still really nice books, and they are fully stocked with either domestic etch or ingres fabriano drawing paper. All are bound without adhesives, and have decorative stitching on the spines. These prices are less than half of what they used to sell for: small books for $8, large ones for $15. Here's a little sample:



    wendyware book

    You can see everything at: wendyware.etsy.com.


    Also, I have a new website, and I hope you like it: matthewreidsma.com.
