The Week of Stolen Content

So, hey guys.  I’m giving you the heads up that during this week, I’ll be re-blogging from other sites that I enjoy (and that I think you would enjoy reading and subscribing to).  I’m doing this because I’ve realized that I am running short of time to simply do things.  I have a couple of deadlines coming up.  And they’re both self-inflicted.

You may or may not know that I’m going to be heading to SoDak Con this weekend in Rapid City, SD.  I’ve been invited as a guest to the con to talk about creating a game.  Yes, I created a game last year.  I was freshly laid-off from my engineering job, and I wanted to spend my time doing something other than feeling sorry for myself.

My friends who run SoDak Con wanted me to talk about the process of making a game, and gave me a space to tell people about the process.  I’ve had months and months to prepare for this talk/discussion.

So I should probably start preparing.

At the same time, I need to prepare for an episode of Freddy’s Fan Fiction.  I will be doing a live episode at SoDak Con.  It’s not like I have to do a lot of preparation, but I want it to be at least a bit entertaining.  Never done anything like this before.  I will be filming and recording the whole show, so you should be able to see it next week.

All of that on top of long-ass days at work and late-evening scheduled gaming sessions with my friends makes for almost no time to get anything else done.  So I apologize to anyone looking for original content this week.  To be fair, you’ll be getting original content.  Just not from me.

—————————–

To begin with, I’ll reblog a post from one of my favorite authors, Chuck Wendig.  He just watched the Man of Steel in the theater and he gave it a review.  I haven’t watched the movie yet, and I’m sure I will eventually.  I just like what Chuck says and how he says it.  Here is an excerpt from his post, HOLY SHITCRAP THIS MOVIE THEATER IS TOO FUCKING LOUD:

I WENT TO THE MOVIE THEATER AND I SAW MAN OF STEEL AND THE MOVIE WAS VERY FUCKING LOUD. IT WAS, YOU MIGHT EVEN SAY, “SUPER” LOUD. HA HA HA OW.

I FEEL LIKE I JUST SPENT TWO AND A HALF HOURS LETTING SOME DUDE YELL IN MY EARS AND PUNCH ME IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD

DID A GRENADE JUST GO OFF

MY EARS ARE RINGING

…

So go read Chuck’s blog.  Read his books.  (Seriously, read his books.  He writes amazing stuff)

Hope y’all have a good week!

I HAVE PTSD NOW
