Quick News Roundup

And no, I’m not posting anything from Comic-Con because it’s EVERYWHERE.  Also, I still think “Guardians of the Galaxy” sounds way too ‘Farscape’ for me to feel it’ll be original.

R.I.P.D. tanks at the box office, inviting all sorts of jokes.  You have to wonder if films get so far in the pipeline they can’t be stopped . . .

This is a bit old, but a good explanation of why you should self-publish.  I agree – and my books are my business card in a way (I do need to work on that one I wanted to do on Project Management . .  .)

Remember my hope that infrastructure work might help the economy?  Rising interest rates may make that dream somewhat less than stellar

Taking My Date To Cantown. Homestuck Creator To Work On Datesim

No.  Really.

Now I’ll remark that this is great.  Andrew Hussie is clearly a dynamic and energized person who can create things and to say the least stick with a project.  I’m glad to see him getting even more to do, even if I’m not really into Homestuck.

So kudos for his one phenomena leading to another job!

Except it’s a datesim where, and I’m not making this up, you date Namco-Bandai characters.  Really.  In a High School.  I’m not even sure how to process this level of strangeness yet, except maybe it’s some kind of hope to move datesims over here, influenced by School Doll Culture (Monster High/Ever After High/Equestria Girls), or . . . the super robot games.  Or something.

Look I have no idea.  But maybe this’ll open up datesims more in the American market.  Or something.

Man, the “homestuck” part of this is unsurprising.
