    FF7 Remake

    Exploring the slums in Midgar is an amazing videogame experience. In most RPGs I expect an urban setting to be mostly empty with a few generic, token NPCs standing around. Walking down the street in this game, there are people everywhere. They’re all wearing different clothes, different faces, working at different tasks that actually make sense in this context. They’re also chatting to one

    The View Over Atlantis

    I'm having some really conflicted feelings about The View Over Atlantis. I'm just about to wrap up what I think of as "Book One" of the story. After that, there should be a change in setting and tone as we get into the next phase, or the next book.

    Samurai Jack

    If any of you haven't been following the revived Samurai Jack series, what the heck is wrong with you? Go watch it! It's amazing.

    Last night the third episode of the new season aired, and the leader of the Daughters of Aku, Ashi, is voiced by. . . Tara Strong??

    The Anonymous HiE

    The Anonymous HiE is the man with no name: that part of us with no identity other than itself, that which is not seen in the world, always in the distance — hidden, somewhere behind.

    He exists as himself, for himself, without attachment to conventional morality.

    He is not here to save the ponies of Equestria, or to progress their society.

    He has a different agenda.

    All the Colours of the Dark

    Isn't it great when you stumble on a piece of music that dovetails perfectly with your story? I tend to picture scenes in an almost cinematic way, and every good movie needs a soundtrack. When I was writing Black Angel, I was lucky to find a couple of tracks that I felt were worth references in the story itself. And just in case any of your forgot. . .

Black Angel revisions & new chapter · 12:17am Jul 16th, 2015

After spending weeks in the doldrums, I finally got in gear again with my writing. It took a desperate measure, the only thing that has worked for me: I shut off my internet and my gaming computer.

It's hot summer now, too hot here in Texas to do too much outdoors if I can avoid it. So, I'm gonna stay under the A/C, keep the gaming rig turned off, and try to get more writing done. Maybe I can finally wrap up Black Angel.

In addition to posting the newest chapter today, I went back and made some other revisions to the story. I changed the troggle language to something I think is funnier. I changed Annaland to Frivoli and expanded Nightmare Moon's experience there slightly. I polished a few other minor things. It's nothing that changes the trajectory of the story, and nothing that requires anyone to go back and re-read chapters. I hope new readers will find it a bit more engaging.

It feels good to finally get some writing done after so long, doesn't it?

Man, I still have to check out that new one you posted some days ago. It's been sitting open in a tab ever since. Bleh, so far behind in all the reading I want to do.
