[TEST SUBJECT NAME HERE], your uniform issue is ready.

Hey everybody! Rather than dwell on how long it's been since I wrote, why don't I just show you what I've been up to. San Diego Comic Con is coming soon, and I've had a few costumes in the works. Since it's fresh in my mind, I wanted to share the Aperture Laboratories Test Subject project I've been putting together.

Future-Now: The Running Man

I'm watching The Running Man again. That is, as of this writing, the credits have just rolled. I've also had a couple drinks, and this is the sort of post that happens when I drink and watch old favorites.

I'm not sure why I like The Running Man so much. It's not very well filmed. The script isn't good. The scenery is flat. It's fairly cheesy sci-fi all around. It plays like the most typical fare in the Schwarzenegger stable, with all of his usual punch lines.

Today, 25 years after release, The Running Man also seems surprisingly prescient.

 

Busting Makes Me Feel Good/A Ghostbusters Halloween

So it's been a long time since I posted here, and it's all my fault for being lazy. I could make promises about the New Year, but it's better to just start posting things. And I have plenty to share, especially events like PAX Prime, BlizzCon, and Ümloud. But I'm starting with something fun and cool from last Halloween.

Beef[birthday]cake

Hey all, I just wanted to drop a post thanking Alice and Mario of Arms Armor And Awesome. They recently had a joint birthday party, and Alice included me since my birthday is also coming up soon. So happy birthday to you guys and thanks for the gift!

Domestic Revolution/I Have A Writable, Erasable Desk

I have a new desk! It's about time because since I've moved into my new house the spare bedroom has basically been a huge closet. Now I can finally use the space for work. Mario from Triple A Cosplay took my desk concept, and was a huge help in construction. Check it out:

Axe Cop at Wondercon 2011

WONDERCON 2011! I patrolled the show floor today as my current favorite comic character, Axe Cop. CHOP!

 

First Real Six-String/Fender Squier for Rock Band 3 Hands-On

Ever since wannabe shredders picked up plastic toy guitars to play Guitar Hero, the legitimacy of music games has been in question. What's the benefit? Why not play a real instrument? I always feel like I have to point out that video game guitar and real guitar are totally different, separate skills. With the Fender Squier for Rock Band 3, the line has not simply been blurred - it is erased. I have begun to learn the way of a six-string samurai.
