Postcards from Nerdland
Howdy. It's been a while since I've properly updated this dusty old site. In posts where once the smut flowed freely, you've since been treated to brief text updates that were noticably smutless. There will come a day when I resume polluting the 'net with my crappy drawings of sex and violence and the angels will sing. Hallelujah!In all seriousness, I've been dealing with some job prospects as of late, so the smut factory has been put on hold for a bit. Tripping The Rift So the TTR series is chugging along. I have mixed feelings about it, but I will say this: the CG is pretty damn slick, especially on Chode. The acting and animation on him is rocking good. That's all I'm going to say for now. I've also received some emails offering condolences for having gotten "kicked off" the show. I never went into detail what went down regarding that, but let me briefly clear it up now. Chuck and I were never kicked off or asked to leave the show. In fact, when writing had begun on the first episode, we were set up with a nice office, bought brand new computers, and were otherwise made welcome on the production. Then about two or three weeks later we found out that there was no money in the budget to actually pay us to work on the show. Disappointed, we gathered our things, wished the show well and sought other avenues to pay our mortgages. No animosity or bluster or fireworks. So no condolences are needed. We're still the creators and still get our piece of the pie. And now for the nerdy computer game update! Last November a bad thing happened. Matthew Mead -- one of the lads that animated the original Tripping The Rift short and went on to work for Blizzard Entertainment -- got me into the super secret World of Warcraft alpha test. For those of you not familiar with WoW, it's an Everquest-type game where you create a character, give it a fruity name, and enter an online world populated by hundreds of other sociopaths. And, like Everquest, it's a huge time sink and about ten times more addictive than crack. No doubt you're just dying to see pictures of it. Now that the NDA is lifted on the game you can find zillions of pictures elsewhere, but none are quite as cool as mine: ![]() (left) Fang, whose penchant for buggery made the backstabbing rogue a natural career choice, looks for some clergy to mug. (right) Kubel the mage relaxes at Disney World. ![]() (left) Graystone the dwarf paladin sweet-talks a local woman. "Watch where you point that thing, Missy." (center) The undead Seethe, Pyraluna, and Syn conspire to kick puppies and scare children. (right) After many hours of posing beneath a hot sun, the night elf Desslok is finally told by a passerby that he looks cool. And what fantasy game is complete without lots of scantily clad women? None, that's what! ![]() It is a world where C-cups reign supreme and cellulite is a distant memory. Even the ghosts are stacked. That should be enough nerdiness for now. |
