Twisty Tuesday Takes Its Toll… Tomorrow’s Time to Tackle Trouble!

Posted on July 2, 2013 by geelw

Feh. Between the rain, humidity and the library being shut today (well,at least they’re supposedly updating their “technology” so perhaps the connection speed will be a bit less laggy than it’s been these last few months?), it’s be a hell of a slog trying to work. Well, I did get a formerly busted computer up and running and some stuff shipped out that needed to get on its merry way before tinkering around with a new game for a bit and starting up a small bit of artwork before rolling in here to post. Anyway, like the fold-able female in this clip, I need to be more flexible about certain things so I can just get more stuff DONE that I’d like to do. I got a nice kick in the pants thanks to Henry Miller’s 11 tips on writing (and NO, I’m not going to write like him, silly – I like his takes on inspiration and getting stuff done) and between that and some other kicks to the noggin and other parts (ouch!), I think I’m a bit more energized for the remainder of the week…

Kaiji Remedies vs. Middle-Earth Memories (No Sides Chosen Here)…

Posted on July 2, 2013 by geelw

Well,if you were chasing after me with an axe or something, I’d lean more towards Pacific Rim than The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, but that’s only because that first Hobbit didn’t knock me off my toes (although it was entertaining). I’m a longer-term kaiju fanatic anyway, so Del Toro’s mechs and monsters epic gets the automatic not. Reviews I’m skipping ENTIRELY on this one, but I’ve seen a few tweets and other overly social media posts spilling a few positive beans about the final version. Good for you, ya lucky bums and your free passes, grrrr! Then again, I have two passes to see Turbo on Saturday (and no one to drag to the theater at 10am), so I guess that means I’m moving up in the world (or at least sideways… slowly)

Personally, I really, REALLY liked it better when people only gabbed about this sort of stuff to friends in person or on an old rotary phone. This always connected string-less tin can crap is the pain of the ages sometimes…

Random Film BUY of the Week: Shout Factory Gets The Producers Back on Stage!

Posted on July 2, 2013 by geelw

Well, not back on Broadway, bubbeleh… but as a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack for you to buy and own. Thank you, Shout Factory!! Anyway, I say you ab-solutely need a copy of The Producers: Collector’s Edition because it’s PERFECT for those crappy days any time of the year when you want to pop something laughing. or those great days where you want to pop something laughing. Oh,and that that *new* Drew Friedman cover? Gorgeous! I say shaddup and buy this if you haven’t seen it yet (sure,sure – the play is funny, but the film is better and cheaper, I say!), then round up some of your friends and invite them over for a nice laugh or a hundred. Of course, they’ll be bringing food. There’s ALWAYS food when you want to have a little get-together, right? You want to come over too? Sure, sure – just call me, and I’ll make a nice chicken (plain, in the oven!)…

The Walking Dead: 400 Days Trailer: Creeping Up On You Faster Than You Thought…

Posted on July 2, 2013 by geelw

…as in “BOO!” it’s on PSN (and PC and Xbox Live) right now (and at ONLY five bucks, it’s a MUST buy) waiting to lurch onto that PS3 or Vita as soon as you snap up a copy and download it. The caught me and a few other folks off guard because we thought Telltale might be saving this one up for a late summer or even fall release, but yes indeed, it’s out now and that’s awesome. Especially for me as a big Vita user (as the Vita needs all the great games it can get and although short, this one’s definitely in that Game of the Year territory based on all I’ve been reading). I guess now it’s all about finding something to cower under while playing that’s not going to roast me alive in this summer heat. Well, I guess I could play at night when it’s cooler.. but then I’d be looking over my shoulder every five seconds for any sudden movements…eeek. Eh, we’ll see, I guess… Off to find a coin to flip and decide what to do (it’s too hot to think straight today!)…

Humor: So Wrong, But You’ll Laugh (I Bet…)

Posted on July 2, 2013 by geelw

I was going to blank the lettering out on this old comic book cover and add some really awful text, but all you need to do is look at this image VERY carefully and read the balloons as-is to get a huge laugh. It shouldn’t take more than a minute for the slower of you out there to pick up what’s off here. Let’s just say that doc works fast, huh? Everyone else – give yourself a pat on the back or something.

OK, I’m going to bed. The weather has been too hot, too rainy, too humid and too annoying, so I’m a a very, VERY rare mid-grey mood. That won’t last longer than a day, as I did also just find out I’m getting something cool in the mail in about two weeks. Whee! but for now, bleh. I’m off to pass out and have dreams about strange floating people or something like that. Hmmm, I think I’m going to knock them out of the air with my flyswatter and charge them admission for breaking into my personal amusement park, grrrr…

Oh, if you don’t get it – feel free to take a swing below in the comments. I may not ever let you know if you’re right, but we’ll see what happens…
