A Quick Death in Texas: Telin, The X Factor
Okay, I lied, one more character needed attention, one that was overdue.Telin is not a sidekick, and I realized almost as soon as I had said "okay, yeah, now all I gotta do is work on the culture of Space Texas and I can get going on this for real" that I needed to give her a proper treatmen...
A Quick Death in Texas Prewriting: Ellering's Crew
And now, a list of dead people.Hey, hi! Not much of a preamble for this one, because it's filling out the rest of the antagonist cast. Second verse, same as the first, though with this entry, I'm just gonna chime in with a quick italicized thought about where my head was at when I was writin...
A Quick Death in Texas Prewriting: The Portrait of Dudley Ellering
The Biography of a Walking Bodybag from the Tech SectorWelcome back, to the wonderful world of prewriting. Today, we're looking at our Antagonist, Dudley Ellering, a man born to be thrown screaming from the top of a cell tower. While Quinton Timmins might be the first member of the Unseen Mutual...
A Quick Death in Texas Prewriting: Loadout Technical Writing
NOW WE LEARN WHAT EVERYONE HAS IN THEIR POCKETSHi, welcome back to prewriting. Today, well, I think I don't have to use the italic text here, because I was kinda being really explanatory as to the purpose of what I was doing with this. I was rubber ducking bigtime, especially with this preamble ...
Mon/Fri - Oh? Something New and Interesting?
But also tied into something I'm working on? Do go on.The above is audio I'm working on for an upcoming project that's going to tie into Section 99 and A Quick Death in Texas. Without going into details and ruining the surprise, I hope you like in-universe diagetic podcasts. Legitimately...
A Quick Death in Texas: Prewriting
Hey look, my creativity was hiding in the form of Van Parker.Welcome back to the galaxy of Section 99, and the life of Van Ever Parker, the Uncommon Thug. Our boy has himself a list of names, and from his intel connects, he's managed to get good data to move on: Dudley Ellering is in Texas. Not ...
What's in Van Parker's Pockets
Well? What's in them?Hey hi, this is a writing exercise I did yesterday to help get some creative juices flowing. Considering I'm going back to writing more Canine stories after Cinematic Quarantine 3 is done, I felt this was a way of both looking forward to that project, and also as a way o...
Mon/Fri - The World Needs Me, Apparently
So this is what I have been up to, and why I've been tired lately.I help a lot of people in my day to day life, and sometimes there's a need for more help than at other times. Someone needed me this week, but wasn't quuuuiiiiiite there in terms of having their shit together enough of mak...
Mon/Fri - Thanks for the Present, Dad!
Now, back to work.I went and visited with my folks, and now I'm back and ready to keep going, working on Cinematic Quarantine 3. Had a busy few days helping folks out in ways that aren't online, so I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. That's all! Nothing fanc...
Mon/Fri - This is a Good Week, I Feel
Optimism, what a concept.Mondays are therapy days, which is why I don't work on projects by intent on them. As opposed to the days where I procrastinate and wind up beating myself up over. Oops. But I'm not starting out the week on that note, no. Today was a good session. Today made me happy...
Cinematic Quarantine 3 - The Street Fighter (Script)
The 70s saw the meteoric rise in popularity of martial arts movies, with the explosion of kung fu glory across grindhouse screens. This effectively took traditional Chinese martial arts out of the shrouded mysticism of the past, and instead made them a different sort of mystical, with layers of incr...
Mon/Fri - Hemming and Hawing
But I know what I'm going to do now.The script for The Street Fighter started out as a book report, like the one for Starcrash; this was the wrong choice for a movie that needs to be seen for oneself. So instead, I'm doing a script rewrite, to break down why you should watch it. Trust me, th...
Cinematic Quarantine 3 - The Intro
This one is gonna be some extremely over the top shit, let me tell you folks.
Mon/Fri - Whoops!
Sorry everyone, sorry, did it again.So you know how I do that thing where I self improve by doing things like therapy? Kind of a wash if you forget your meds for a week after you finish. That's where I've been the past while, being unstable.To make up for the time wasted, I pledge: I'm d...
Mon/Fri: Whoops!
Yeah I forgot to be better about doing these.There's a lot of things I've been taught by hockey coaches over the years, a lot of it not worth remembering. Still, one specific phrase sticks in my mind, even if I can't remember which particular coach said it: "excuses are not explanati...
Cinematic Quarantine: Starcrash 2
That hair, though.Posting late night content for you to enjoy whenever you get to it. This video goes live tomorrow (Saturday 9th), but for now, it belongs to you folks alone.
Starcrash (Preview)
Because the world needs to see this mayhem.
Script - Cinematic Quarantine: StarCrash
This time, rather than an analysis, we're doing a watch-along style review. Because this film defies analysis. You'll see what I mean when it's done.Captain’s Log, 4th week of quarantine procedures. Mental condition is deteriorating. Restless dreams. I am haunted by images of an old ma...
Cinematic Quarantine - Death Wish 3
OLDMAN HUGEGUN vs. THE CREEP ARMYThe world needs more media now. I can provide media that's both funny and historical, and that's what I decided to do out of the blue this weekend. Enjoy!
Mon/Fri: Something New For You All
Which is why I'm posting this now, instead of Monday.I chased a wild hare of creativity this past weekend. I wanted to give people new and more content in anxious times, so enjoy this dive into another passion of mine: Bad Movies.
Mon/Fri - Doom Eternal is a Good Game
It also produces motion sickness like a factory, so be warned.You can probably tell what I played recently, judging by the big ol' sheet of a review I just dropped. Brutal, beautiful and completely unabashed to kick your ass, just an absolute wonderful time of an Army of Darkness romp, that Doom...
Doom Eternal - The Evolution of id
The Only Thing They Fear is The PlayerIt's hard to know where to start with Doom Eternal. It's the culmination of a near 4 year wait after the cliffhanger ending of Doom 2016, a game that significantly and brutally ups every ante placed by its precursor game. It also represents something dee...
The River and the Road - Designing the Seer
Back at it again, at the mystical delivery service.In the Converged Worlds, religion is a little less formal, and a lot more naturalistic. There are not formalized priesthoods or temples, but rather informal collectives of those chosen by a patron god to act as a mortal agent. They take on a number ...
Mon/Fri - Stay Safe, Wash Hands, Play Games
It's what we're all doing, right now, at this very second. Yes, all at once.Hope this finds you all well, because it's weird and rough out at the moment. Best just to stay inside and enjoy the ways we have of staying in contact remotely. Or go enjoy a public park, at safe intervals. At a...
Section 99: I Hate You, Great Job (Part 1)
Something a little different, from the same place as A Good ManIf you read A Good Man, you noticed something in the background- a wrestling match, with actual names. Funny thing, I've been my love of pro wrestling has been so recharged by the arrival of AEW, I actually started fantasy booking wh...
Mon/Fri - And There It Is
It feels good to get a thing done.The rough draft finale of Section 99: A Good Man is done, up for all of you to enjoy. All I can say about it for now, is that a better edited PDF version is going to be up soon, and if you want more Van, stay tuned, because I'm not just blowing smoke. His path c...
Section 99: A Good Man - Part 7 (Final)
Everyone is safe, except for everyone on his list.They gave Van and Taino e-blankets out of the helo’s emergency kit to cover themselves with- torn-to-shit visitors were bad optics for Insomnia. Van refused to unclench, shielding Taino in the helo door from beneath his shiny cloak with a body that...
Mon/Fri - Hey, Hi, How Are Ya?
Things happening this week!I am coming at you with two pledges, two! For this coming month of February- the first is that you're going to see the end of Section 99: A Good Man this week, and then maybe a taste of what's coming from that. Then, after that, I continue work on BASIC and the Riv...
Section 99: A Good Man - Part 6
“No,” Van said internally. “Still one left.”Timmins was sprawled out on his back, trembling, staring.“Still one left,” he said to himself, cracking his knuckles, taking a slow stride towards the little man. The little pissant who declared himself some old world adventurist safari king be...
Welcome Back to the Future
Hey, hi! Quick update for the day after the amorphous thing we call "The Holidays" as to stuff that I'm up to for 2020. Here we go: Finishing off A Good Man and getting going on the other stories, that are eventually going to go into the Section 99 anthology. I haven't decided on a n...
