New Secret Area Entry: We talk about them Mountain Dew Game Fuel flavors.
After a brief hiatus, they brought them back. In typical fashion, I decided to go back to the well once more.
And yes, the master chief is in the soda.

New Secret Area post: It's Blood of the Werewolf.
There haven't been very many great werewolf video games out there. Does this game break that curse?

I made a new post yesterday to cover devolver digital's silly advergame
little story for tonight.
while i was goofing around with #globalTalk, I ended up searching for some old Simpsons icons for my classic Macintosh (an LC 475), and stumbled upon an entry on the garden called Banned Simpsons Icons. (Who could resist downloading something with a title like that?)
They were called the "Banned Simpsons Icons" because Fox once sent the artist - Jeanette Foshee - a cease & desist letter for her uncannily perfect renderings of the copyrighted characters. they planned on suing her for every penny she made ($0.00) on them. this was back in 1995.
i thought - hell, what a wild story. why don't I get a hold of the artist - jeanette - and find out more about her banned icon set?
what i stumbled upon broke my heart, and i ended up spending a week digitally preserving what i could find.

update: now listening to Billy Joel's Glass Houses, on an incredibly old tape that squeaks when played.
partially annoying but I can deal with it.
re: mild rant about rhythm game customs
Thankfully it seems some custom song folks have made charts that support all difficulties and aren't hard for the sake of being hard.
If it was nothing but incredibly hard songs, I probably wouldn't even bother with YARG/Clone Hero and would stick to the official games instead. which would be a bummer tbh
mild rant about rhythm game customs
I find it a bit frustrating that rhythm game customs tend to lean towards making charts that are pointlessly difficult.
not everybody's a god-tier player who's beaten Through the Fire and Flames at 125% speed while blindfolded, you gotta accommodate for the lesser-skilled as well.

While I'm digging through my old watercolor work, here's my big fifteen-minutes-of-fame, frontpage-of-reddit-several-times comic that got retweeted into orbit in the days of Early Twitter, from around 2009-2010.
It's an open secret that if you get a cute fox involved, you're bound to get loads of traction with computer people.
