The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning

A couple more things, as long as I’m here today.

The site (in case any of you hadn’t noticed) has a new and shiny design. It’s even purple, which just HAPPENS to be my favorite color. Don’t call me gay, it’s not terribly nice. Yeah, I’m a guy that likes purple. So what? I know kids that nurse pink as their favorite color. They’re not gay. And don’t give me any of that “True men wear pink”. It’s a load of bullshit, in my opinion.

Wow, that wasn’t fun. Moving right along, I also wanted to mention that everything that I didn’t mention in my last post is going fine. Brikwars has had yet another glorious match, in which I used my LATEST army concept, the Mercenary Mechaniks. I actually managed to make a complete, 300 cp army that DIDN’T involve a single undead model. Of course, that said, all it consisted of was four minfigs and two vehicles. It still kicked kidko’s ass (::ahem:: excuse me, his army’s ass. And yes, I did just say I put all 300 cp into four minifigs and two vehicles). it was awesome. On that same day, we also got TERRIBLY close to playing a game of Mechaton for the first time in AGES. Unofrtunately, this was rudely interrupted by two things:

  • Dinner
  • My Father coming to pick me up

It wasn’t terribly cool. But, hey, at least we CONSIDERED Mechaton as a possible game again. It’s a step in the right direction.

On a completely different note, Distress (both the RPG and the game world) are coming together nicely once again. I’ve got new ideas, and over the past couple of weeks have actually extended Nightwater by a couple more paragraphs. Once again, a step in the right direction.

I plan on also resurrecting a couple of kidko and I’s older projects that halted and got discontinued, including a movie we were making on a run-away bandit who attempts to save the King who imprisoned him (it’s all explained in the script, folks. Don’t you worry). Also, another project that we randomly dropped and never picked up again was Brickspace, a game we were making which intended on being a hybrid cross between Vanguard Space and the Brikwars rules. It was going to be seriously intense and made of win, but, as I said, it’s been gathering dust on my hard-drive for over a few months now. Hopefully I can convince kidko to get back into it with me, because I believe that that could actually go somewhere.

Also, kinda old news, but kidko now has his very own website! It hasn’t got much yet, but it’s there, and boy, does he have plans for it. Check it out.

Hi-Ho Cripple, AWAY!

Posted by olothontor on July 1, 2008

Indeed, it is that time again… the time that PDM will arise and take it’s place atop the sheer peak of Podcast greatness. It’s time… for the Adventures Of The Lone Hobo And His Faithful, If, Broken, Cripple! Recorded a grand total of two hours ago, cleaned out, edited, and (as of now) officially posted (beware, it’s about 5 and a half minutes long), Small Screen Media releases the beginnings of the Lone Hobo series (belonging to the PDM series) to an awe-inspired public (this would include you, reader. You can begin being awe-inspired any moment now). The production team (kidko and ) had great fun recording and cleaning it, and who knows; we may even release a blooper reel sometime in the near future *wink, wink*.

Okay, so I totally would post it, if WordPress accepted .mp3 files. Oh, well. Well, if any of you have 4sharing, the free web downloader, you can totally go find it, by the same title mentioned before.

As for Strife… well… it’s got a Piece of Flair on Facebook! That’s basically the only progress made since my last post. So, um… the advertisement for it has begun, at least to some small degree. Hey, you gotta start somewhere…

kidko and I also plan on having another of those mind-blowing, earth-shattering, spleen-combusting sleepovers in the near future, to be joined (once again) by the infamous Hlbeta. A list of vague tasks to be accomplished at some point during said sleepover:

  • Play some more Brikwars
  • Eat the damn pizza, already!
  • PDMS 4 (or 3, depends. I may/may not be making more random musical tracks to go along with it)
  • Insane video-gamage, mostly involving Burnout (ROADSIDE TAKEDOOOOOOWN!)
  • If only we could, we would also be playing Gauntlet, mostly for the hilarity factor thusly involved (Red Wizard needs food badly!)

… And much more, less predictable crap, mostly involving the afore-mentioned spleen-combusting. And possibly Mechaton, but that’s a definite maybe.

Anywho… I believe the talking needs to stop. Until next time…
