SPLITTER!

I'm two-thirds finished with my writing sample for the Telltale Games Creative Workshop in March. It's my first time writing in Twine and I'm having a lot of fun. I just need to finish the third story path and I'll be good to go. It is, as promised, very silly.

I can only assume the animation studio suffered a comically elaborate catastrophe of some kind.

I found a really great job to apply to that I am very qualified for and would enable me to move back to California (not to my hometown, but still). I'm not making any plans just yet, but a boy can dream.

According to the White House statement, four months is the usual amount of time you need to process this kind of thing and find the person a place to live, stuff like that.

I've been surprisingly taken with U.S. Avengers. (Well, not that surprising, as I generally love Al Ewing's work for Marvel.) I was expecting a goofy romp having fun with the notion of gleefully over-patriotic heroes, a sort of comedy GI Joe, but instead we get what may well be the first mainstream comic book directly

I think the Progressive movement could really do with less scolding overall. Hell, I hear even the Washington march is riven with infighting over whether everyone's feminism is intersectional enough and so forth.

Hell no, Chicago is all about the serial comma.

My new roommates, who've been here all of a month and a half, are leaving ASAP to go take care of a sick relative. This sucks for all involved. I'm hoping we'll be able to find replacements soon, because rushing to line up another place to live just in case wasn't much fun TWO FUCKING MONTHS AGO, and I'd really rather

As I understand it the game has lots of villains too. But I guess they needed some in-universe reason for, say, Batman and other-Batman to fight, so we go with the alternate universe and fascist Supes and whatnot. It gets the job done, but it's all rather grim for my taste.

I'm rarely a fan of heroes-vs-heroes stories, but hey, it's a fighting game, it kinda comes with the territory.

Detective Chimp is far too powerful to be in the base roster. He needs to be an unlockable.

Neat!

Curnow, right? I assure you, if I meet him I will pass along that some guy from the Internet named Jordan says hi.

You mean they passed on The Zapp Brannigan Chronicles?

Green Harvest, eh? So I'm guessing it's about a Vulcan operative sent to manipulate rival Klingon and Romulan colonies into wiping each other out.

More of a Lady Titus Andronicus then, isn't it?

PSA = Public Service Announcement.

Too land-based.

Every time I meet a man he's either gay or a bear!
