Gahh! No time for any real content. Two tests next week, the game design bug has bitten me hard, now I have work, and oh my god oh my god oh my god.

In semi-real news, celebreality on VH1 blows donkey balls. “Real Chance of Love?” Gross.

In REAL news, I’m an early voter. McCain? Obama? Nope! Libertarian party, suckas!

LATE

Yes, you read that right. It’s a sitcom idea I’ve had for years. It’s all about Charles Lindbergh and his adventures with his pet pig. The title capitalizes on the success of Mork and Mindy. Of course it’s a joke! It makes me laugh every time though, and the only person I make suffer through it is Bobby. That poor guy.

This “that’d be a great name for a sitcom” personal joke of mine isn’t nearly as prolific as “that’d be a great name for a band,” but it’s still fun. I don’t have many other ideas and sometimes I work a little too hard at it. Case in point:

The Pilgrims founded Plymouth Colony in the 1600s. Sure they were God-fearing, but all folk have a dark side. Sometimes murders take place, and the crimes have to be solved. One of the Pilgrims that made the famous crossing on the Mayflower was a converted Jew, and he also has a knack for detective work. This is a dark drama, and shot in black & white to really show the grit of the grim situations. Also, this detective is played by Bruce Campell, B-actor extraordinaire. I call it Bristol County Jew Noir.

I don’t agree entirely with her solutions, but I share the outrage. Give it a whirl.

Normally, I only post once per day so I don’t overpost, but I had to share this if you hadn’t already seen it.

We’re a little late to the party, but Ame and I finally finished watching the end of Season 2 of Carnivàle last night. This show was creepy and engaging, with nicely developing characters and a mythos that fleshes itself out in a nice pace. It’s a shame that seasons three through six were not signed by HBO. There are a lot of unanswered questions, but Daniel Knauf, the show’s creator, shed some light on things. Along with Firefly now, I can put Carnivàle on the list of TV shows I wish were more - along with several other nerds I imagine.

Switching gears, there’s the matter of my game wish list. It’s a bit long, and some of the entries are on there just to keep them on my radar. I really have no intention of buying Ninjabread Man, but the name and concept almost make my head explode. I’d better get some duct tape and wrap up just in case something startles me…

It’s quite a long list, and some of these games have been released for quite some time. The truth is, I simply haven’t gotten around to them yet. It’s a long list, and I’d better get going if I want to play them all. This weekend I’m probably going to crack open Metroid 3. I’ve seen the preview videos, and the whole Aurora project thing brings the Metroid story back to its roots.
