Should I bring this blog back? I came in here to delete it but I was reading the old posts and I might need this one. I already have Diswitted and Goon Pirate. But one is too specific and one is too anonymous unless I drop the Neighbours conceit. Maybe.
I've been working on my 'dark-pagan-captain planet' story a little lately. I might put up a page with excerpts or something eventually. Anyway, I was trying new comic-making techniques and decided that characters from a superhero-type universe would be suited to the comic-style treatment. Here they be:
I'm back from my road trip. Am putting together a website with lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of photos. I just finished Oklahoma, which probably has the most next to Utah, because we sweat Route 66 very badly. Now I'm doing extra research on it and I'm surprised to find that Oatman is considered a ghost town. I guess donkeys dont count. Abandoned roads and towns and motels are cool. One love, I'm out.
So it looks like Will Wright, guy who invented SimCity, The Sims, etc, is making this game called Spore. You design life forms and let them evolve and see what happens. THAT my friends, is SimLife. Ok, holy shit--a remake of SimLife.
Once the creatures evolve they grow in intelligence, some go intergalactic. It's multiplayer, everybody manages entire planets. He mentions the 2001 obelisk you drop to make things get insta-smart. THAT by friends, is SimEarth.
A remake of SimLife and SimEarth COMBINED. Two governors, working together! Two unbelievably cool old-school Sim games that everybody forgot about when The Sims came out. That's awesome.
If I can make Trichordates I will soil myself. It will totally make up for the lack of arcos in the last two SimCity games.
I'm gonna bring Power Hour back. BACK, baby. Vegas! Den requested a comicversion of himself and Neetch thought it was time for more comics, We'll see if I actually am motivated enough to stick with it. I also need ideas, so IM them to me or something. I'm thinking I could do one about New Pope and Pope Classic, with JP2 knocking back beers with a Rabbi and a Buddhist onk. Then show Benny with a Nazi mustachio or something. I'm not sure i that would piss enough people off. He might have to be humping a goat, too. (THAT WAS NOT A REFERENCE TO FR. PILARZ).
So one time this guy called Jonno was telling about the previous summer, which he spent surveying insects on Stephen's Island. The paths were crawling with thousands of weta, and every few seconds tuatara would pop out of the foliage and grab the suckers, like a big sphenodont feeding frenzy.
You're an Indie Pop Kid. You like songs about relationships and the prettiness of nature. You're sentimental, but not certainly not emo. Oh, and if you aren't an English Major, you should be.
