Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I tried to keep it as morally ambiguous as possible. There is a protagonist, but there are no "good" and "bad" guys. Even the aliens involved are no better or worse than the humans.
But I won't go into too many more details. I hope some New York-ian will appreciate what this Midwesterner has written.
But thanks, Dragonprime...Last edited by TwoBitWriter; 2008-08-22 at 10:29 AM.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Moral ambiguity is always a good change of pace. Then again, I read through so much Soviet sci-fi over the summer that laser beam bazooka wielding marines that shoot everything instead of having a plot don't really work anymore. Also, happy endings are for suckers.

May I recommend learning how to play an instrument?

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
+1 this. Archery rocks. I spent a while practising it (when I was going through my martial arts phase a few years back).
More worryingly my sister, a primary school teacher, has also taken up archery this summer. I fear for her class next year.
Or some martial art. Or learn an instrument. Or...
What else is there?
Or you could just host a dungeon.Last edited by bosssmiley; 2008-08-22 at 11:11 AM.

Construct additional pylons, Jibar.
Or paint some clouds. Clouds are easy. You can always start to make it up if you lose which cloud you were painting.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Hmm... out of interest, because it's starting to sound like a fun project, who would read a blog by me?
I wouldn't discuss my life and it's tribulations because, frankly, you could read tens of thousands of blogs of the same damn thing and the only defining feature of mine would be some form of genre awareness.
I'd use it to discuss whatever I happen to be enjoying (or not) at the time; video games, film, TV, maybe even politics. Maybe a couple of just random prose or poetry.
I would also use it to post entries from the Cat-Muffinmicon. I need to do more on this, and giving myself some sort of schedule via a blog, with definite people reading and enjoying, would probably give me the motivation I need to do it.

Cristo, if your book sells, you should sell it over the internets, giving all of us a cheat code towards a free copy!

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
Heh. Additional pylon-ninja'd.
Also, I tend not to read blogs... I mean, yeah, everyone likes an output, but they tend to be somewhat boring, no offence intended to anyone who might have one mind you.
If you do a blog and fill it with the most inane, crazy and insanity-inspiring things then I might read it though.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I've read one or two interesting blogs... The best was a guy trying to play Oblivion as an NPC (no running, avoiding quests at all costs, being a coward etc.) really funny, but the updates are reeeeally slow.

Re: Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101
I have a blog, it just happens to be full of my probably uninformed and generally negative opinion of nearly everything I could think of. Also it updates slowly, because I don't write in it often.
Have to say I don't discuss my life, per se, just the things in it that I despise. Haven't written anything on my job though. I should do so. Maybe I'll complain how minimum wage hasn't moved in years and the pay increase I get every 500 hours is a whole 25 cents....I used to do LP's. Currently archived here:
