Video games, video games, video games games games.

Do I really even need to talk about Jack Thompson? At one point he was pretty much public enemy #1 to anyone who has ever picked up a video game controller. He still is, to a certain degree, though I imagine that he likes to think he's done more damage in favor of his cause than he actually has. He likes to con the media into making him come across as some sort of expert on the dangers of video games, and, like a vulture he latches on to any tragedy that he can in order to blame video games on all the world's evils and, by proxy, increase his own public profile. Nowadays he's pretty much just reduced himself to being a joke. An annoying joke that just won't end, but still a joke that can be made fun of.

Hence this catchy tune. It's been stuck in my head since I first heard it, so now I need to share it with you all. Guaranteed you'll be singing it tomorrow!



ALL SORTS OF WEAPONS!

Here's the original post.

Something New.

I've still got a lot of work to do towards getting to where I want to be, so I probably shouldn't be doing this, but earlier in the week I got inspired to undertake a new project for myself. After toying with the idea and not really telling anyone, someone important found what I had just started working on and gave me some words of encouragement. So now I've definitely decided to see this through.

Hopefully, it'll be done within the next few days, at which point I'll post it up here. But if you look hard enough, maybe you'd be able to find what I've done thus far. I won't say anything else for the moment accept that it's going to be... astronomical.

GREATEST PIC EVER.

Could this be the greatest picture in the history of the universe?



I think it is! Turtles + AstroBoy = EPIC WIN.

Snagged it from Anime News Network. It's an ad for job recruitment at Imagi Animation Studios in Hong Kong. They did last year's TMNT movie and are working on the AstroBoy movie for next year.

Too bad I don't live in Hong Kong... otherwise that would be me sitting at that desk!

Forced to be Twisted.

Almost wasn't going to do one this year. Almost. But I couldn't let my people down!

Be Wary, Be Wary.

Weeks seem to go by without me noticing. I guess I don't really have much to write about these days, though I try to make a point of making an entry here at least once every 7-8 days.

There's a big story that has been happening over the Internet recently, and I have to admit that I've been really caught up in reading about it. Without going into details, I was sort of aware of the issues before the current events unfolded as they have, but now that the word is really out there and people have taken notice and stepping into action, I find the whole situation incredibly interesting and I can't look away. There is just such a wealth of information about it, and everything from origins, the copyright claims, the bizarre mythology behind it, the court cases, the lies and exaggerations, the stories of the outspoken critics and people who were once a part of it and are now speaking out... I'm just utterly fascinated by all of it. But only in the same way that I'm fascinated by, let's say, people like Ghengis Kahn or Al Capone. Or better yet, Lex Luthor and Darth Vader.

If ever there was a cause that I would personally rally behind and seriously pledge my full support to, this would be it. I know that it is right, and I can feel inside that a really big part of me really wants to go out there and make a difference towards educating people about this evil that exists in the world. But I know that I can not. It's not simply about being afraid (though there is, quite obviously to anyone who has done their research, an awful lot to be afraid of), but that this rabbit hole is so deep that I don't know if I'd ever escape from it. There is so much to know, so much to follow, and so much to do that it could easily consume my entire life, and that's not really what I want for myself. So while I'm happy to talk about it with people I trust who don't know the truth, and to vicariously follow what happens from this point, I should not invest myself any further than that.

But if I could, if I had nothing to lose... I would absolutely crack the sky with my Burning Fury and Great Justice!

My heart goes out to those of you who are trying to make a difference in this cause. If you are going out Sunday, be safe. And do not forgive or forget.
