I'm spending my half-day tomorrow working at BATV. Gonna get some actual work on Episode 2 done. This is a revolutionary new concept which I'm sure will change the way the world looks at machinema and several other theoretical ideas.

Avast, Cool sight off the port bow!

In a totally unrelated issue, the complete ROP awards come out Sunday. I won't be able to see it till Monday, as I'll be in D.C. Hopefully there won't be any terrorist attacks, no fly violations, or Beltway sniping copycats while I'm there. With my luck all three things will happen in combination (and Godzilla will rise out of the Potomac to run amok.) Wish me luck.

Last but not least, Jack Thompson has offered to donate $10,000 to Take Two's favorite charity if a game company will design and publish Jack Thompson's self invisioned game.
One Man's Dream===UPDATE===
Apparently a couple mod squads decided to call Jack's bluff. Several mods have been released in which players can live out Jack's sick fantasy. Well, Jack wasn't expecting this. He said his offer was
satireand he wasn't paying. So, the good folks at Penny Arcade decided to donate the $10,000 for him. In his name. So, what's a lunatic to do? Easy, he filed for their arrests as they were "threatening and harrassing" him. Now, y'all know I'm not a big fan of Penny Arcade, but this really was a great thing to do. What's wrong with Jack isn't that he could actually legislate against games (which he can't), but that mainstream media still takes him seriously. As though he were an expert in the field of "Murder Simulators." Therefore if he could pwn the n00b public into believing him, we'd have a whole new pot of 5h17 on our hands.
