"piroquake dumpbox"

Thursday - February 8, 2001

Believe it or not, I'm not feeling particularly verbose today. So, rather than struggle with trying to put together some inane blurbage, I figure i'll pull some stuff out of the dumpbox.

I might add some commentary to these images tomorrow - but for now, I'm just going to post the images. Believe it or not, there's a lot of stuff I scribble that never gets scanned. Usually, it's because the images fall below my threshold for 'acceptable and won't make me look like an idiot'. These images are candidate for what I call the 'dumpbox'.

Here is a selection of drawings that I produced trying to figure out how to go from the RuriQuake idea to the PiroQuake idea that showed up in the b4k4quake comic. enjoy. these suck, there's tons wrong with each one, but there's some raw stuff there that's pretty nice.

"the 'work' thing"

Damn you Westwood. You, off my planet!

This weekend I went by my local games pusher and grabbed some sweet looking titles, namely Bungie's Oni and Westwood's Red Alert 2. While Oni was cool and all, I really didn't get a chance to get into all the punch throwing and bullet heavy action as I planned. No, Instead a friend called me and demanded I do the "Online" thing with him.

So anyways, I load up Red Alert 2, and twenty hours later - Here I am.

I really don't have a good review for this game, or even a screenshot, It's not exactly 'zero-day warez' anymore, so I think everything that can be said about it, has been said. Just know I think it's a great sucker of time, not quite a Ever-crack - but for the weekend it had me re-living my StarCraft days. Oh.. Blizzard, where are you now?

Unless you live under a rock like Detroit, you should of seen that Penny-Arcade is back online and making with 'the funny' again. Now I think about it, I need to order a PAWang shirt soon.

I've also picked up Phantasy Star Online, like everyone else in the freaking country. I think Tycho was right in his rant about the size of one's mag. I've determined girl gamers dig mags, and if you don't have a big mag, you are SOL.

Tomorrow I start some new job thing, should be fun, or not. Though I've yet to find a ideal job, one where I get to dispatch the undead my crossbow.

Speaking of which, there hasn't been any new 'destroy the undead' games lately, I can't get my undead-bashing on if there aren't new games for which I can bash them in. Personally, I think we need a new Claire Redfield game, all Claire - all the time.

I'm keeping it short tonight, I need to be up early in the morning and do the 'work' thing. So like, later.
