Game Update #?
So I guess this game possibility is becoming a game probability, as in it seems to be happening. Spent a couple more hours working on my game last night, realized the finished version of the system could easily be used to tell my stories. So that’s a thing now.
.
This things alpha version probably won’t see the light of day for months because my programming style is really time consuming. Basically it goes like this:
- Get Idea
- Start programming
- Get about a quarter of the way through programming
- Think of new more efficient/stable to program one of the base parts
- Scrap half my code
- Get depressed that I had to scrap half my code for the new idea.
- Take a break.
- Goto step 2
So yeah. This is gonna take a while.
An Average Conversation with Leigha
Me: Why is there always non-history stuff on the History Channel.
Leigha: Lmao, tell me about it.
Me: Its Like: "Welcome to the History Channel, your viewing options are Hitler or Non-History, choose now!"
Me: Fuck off History Channel!
Writing Update #2
So I’m up to like, maybe a hundred pages worth of world building ideas, but haven’t really accomplished anything story wise. Also it might become a game. Because I’m a programmer.

Programming + Writing = Video Game
Sometimes.
Maybe.
Whoops…
Was spending my morning/night/whatever playing games because my sleep is all messed up again, when all of a sudden I had a great idea for my novel/whatever the hell it is that I’m writing. I planned to write it down as soon as my game ended, so I alt+tabbed out of it and opened Microsoft OneNote as a reminder to myself. Of course, because I’m me and I have ADHD, by the time the game was over and I’d switched back to OneNote, all I could think about was the music I was listening to, which was The Protomen, and so I ended up writing a Megaman reboot/re-imagining for 2 hours or so.
2 hours.
I meant to jot down a single sentence about a completely different subject!
It should’ve taken me at most 30 seconds!
Blargh.
Terrifying Fact Number Two, is that I’ve just watched Matt Smith carrying a flaming torch on screen. Oh, it’s for such a thrilling scene in Episode 12. Really and truly, magnificent and epic. A proper movie moment. But never mind that, it’s Matt carrying a FLAMING TORCH. Look, Matt’s lovely, he’s a magnificent, brand new, hilarious, heartbreaking, heroic Doctor — but the fact is, if that man walks into a room with a coffee then it’s only so long before you’re wearing it. No, really, clumsiest man on earth. He walks like he’s in a constant state of surprise at his own limbs. I remember when he turned up at a Worldwide meeting really early on, and the first thing he did was spill a cup of coffee over a rather lovely woman. Naturally she giggled, flushed and introduced her mother. (Ahh, life when you’re Matt ! I accidentally made eye contact with the same woman — she phoned the police and shot me in the face.) On the way out he apologised to a completely different woman for the coffee incident. “That was the wrong woman,” I said, as he went out the doors. “Nope,” he replied, “That was the second cup.”
Oh, and there was the top secret, very special, extra readthrough for Episode 10 (I’m talking that up, but what the hell) and Matt came striding in with a GUITAR ON HIS BACK. I have honestly never seen a whole roomful of people flatten themselves against a wall with such a high-pitched squeal of terror. Except Karen, of course, who trotted along behind him without a care in the world. Oh, the horror as the Doctor spun and chatted and coffeed a series of delighted women. How that guitar arced and scythed! Swish! Get down, Karen! Swish! Karen, save yourself! Swish! Not her face, Matt, NOT HER FACE!! Ah, the memories. You know, to this day I’m not sure if Matt knew he had a guitar on his back — he might just have collided with a musician.

Writing Update #1
Writing is coming along very, very slowly. The problem is my A.D.H.D. Because of it my brain jumps all over the place so damn quickly. I’ll get like a paragraph or two into the novel, and then I’ll think of a new creature or a short story idea or an Artifact or whatever, and then bam! Suddenly its several hours later. But eventually this will get done. Eventually…
Part 1: Rebooting the Justice League
Part 2: Rebooting the Legion of Doom
So for the final installment of my “New DC” reboots, I thought I’d take a look at Batman and friends. In some ways these are probably the least drastic of my redesigns (Batman’s been handled better than a lot…
What are heroes without villains? To follow up with my Rebooting the Justice League post, where I treated those characters to a more extreme reboot than DC’s “New 52,” I thought it would be fun to take a look at a redesigned villain team to oppose my redesigned Justice League:
So, following the immense popularity of my 5 Essential Character Redesigns post, I decided to take a more thorough stab at revamping DC Comic’s Justice League. I’ve already mentioned before that I think their current “New 52” reboot, aimed at gaining new readers, is terribly ineffective,…
This is how you do a reboot! You change things in ways that make sense and are interesting!
