Trapped in a Crystal

I’m a DM. Run 2 games a week. One game is online using Fantasy grounds….the other is a 3 person group that meets at iHop.

As every DM knows there are always those kinda players…the obnoxious one’s who don’t care about the party. I’ve got one. He ignores the other players, ignores me, and doesn’t take what i say as final ruling. He can’t respect the other players or the fact that I must maintain a fun, comfortable, and balanced game for all players. ….well he finally got on my nerves tonight. And in a Bit of Improv I trapped him in a crystal. He’s only allowed to do things that will benefit the party as a whole. That way he’s still useful. And The idea is that he’ll spend 3-4 sessions in this crystal as they try to find a way to free him, and he’ll form the good team player habit. That way I make it interesting, without singling him out.

What are your thoughts?

 

ATTENTION-The Coolest Thing Ever

First off I wanna direct you to the link above. Trent Reznor has produced a surreal instrumental album. On NIN.com you can buy the 36 tracks for $5, the first 9 tracks for $0 or order any of his 2 physical copies. The album is licensed under Creative Commons. Meaning you can share it, remix it, and use it to your delight without being fucked by the man. All of profit goes directly to the artist. (Trent’s New Label, The Null Corporation). Support NIN as they take a note from Radiohead, and help bring the music industry into the future, kicking and screaming.

Secondly, a little about life. Life has been hectic. Work is long and tiring. But it’s worth it. I’m buying my own Condo. I move in april first….. little worried about budget BUT. I can make it work.

Thirdly , I’m addicted to Audiosurf and Call of Duty 4………..and I haven’t touched my programming project for the PSP (which sadly is currently in the Pawn. =( )

 

Happy Chronic Bitch Dependence Day

It’s that day again. The day where being single is taboo. Where corporations use love to milk our wallets by endorsing materialistic love. Then again I’m bitter.

Sorry for the lack of posts. Been working an ass load. It’s crunch time.  Some of the new crew members are kinda sketchy…. but it’ll all gel together.  Not a lot a time for anything else.

 

I get excited when I get Confused

An Update on my Project.  Prolly been wondering what it is about lobotomies that has me theming my blog the way I do. Well I’m making an announcement.

My Project, Brain Dead, has finally entered development. Watch here for screenshots, videos, and more news.  The game is an RPG. I’m going for a dual platform release PSP and PC. I’m quiet pleased with the story that I’ve devised, but I shall say no more…..

Expect first screens this weekend.

 

Sunspots: Another Music Post

This is a collection of some of my favorite lyrics ever written. In mainly the order I think of them

 

A Song I’ve Written

Recently I’ve been struck with a bout of Inspiration. Writing and creating. And for the first time in years I have a song I’ve written. Inspired by life. It’s meant to be sung by Dave Gahan….but considering that isn’t gonna happen, I’ll just leave it unsung. Check it out after the break. Note….it’s not emo. It’s influenced by Depeche Mode’s writing style on the album ‘Songs of Faith and Devotion.

“Just Can’t Be”

 

A Short Description of my Job

For Now my 8:00- 4:30 shift is a tedious but important task. I’m sorting nearly 1200 gels ( a cellophane like material used for tinting stage lates) according to color, light fixture, set location, size, and purpose. Often stopping to frame each one and size them if needed. I stare at lists that would seem like gibberish to the Lay Man. If you can tell me you know what

SR 2-D3-B #1 Etc 50 Degree (Dim 907) R01

translates into, then you have an idea of what 8 hours of having to organize, frame, and cut that much gel is like.

Not always fun.

But it’s the single biggest production I’ve ever been involved with. It’s not a gig I’ve started. It’s a career.

 

And We’re Live

Fixed my Xbox Live! Woot!

 

DSL Woes

I can’t get my XBox Live to connect through my laptop. My DSL modem decided that the nearest phone line was no longer good enough for it connect through. So I had to move it and my router…..fucking far away. Now I’ve got no XBox Live. And No ethernet cable long enough to connect with. Any Ideas? Faithful Readers.

 

You sent me to hell, Jason… I’m here to return the favor.

I haven’t been keeping up with my favorite comics recently. And I feel bad….so tomorrow I think I’m gonna put down The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and start playing catch up on Spawn, check out Freddy vs Jason vs Ash (which I hear is delightfully bad), rereading Sin City, and catching up on a couple of my manga series.

I also need to catch up on some of my animes. Need to finish Eureka 7, do my annual rewatching of FLCL and Evangelion, check out a couple OVAs my friends pointed me too, and catch up on Second Gig. I have really been neglecting my stories.
