This was a pretty uninspired idea. I’d played a mediocre flash game recently, called “Zombie Inglor” about a man who was bit and had about 72 hours until he became a full zombie. Not a bad concept, but the game was pretty average, and didn’t take any real advantage of the concept except as a … More Death of a Zombie
A lot of my abandoned story ideas are fanfics. I’m trying to move more into original fiction now, but I have a TON of fanfic ideas that will probably never be finished. One of my favorites is Section 11. Section 11 is a Naruto/Marvel/Ghost in the Shell crossover, though the Ghost in the Shell part … More Section 11 [Marvel/Naruto Crossover]
For some time I’ve been trying to think of a consistent role for this blog. It’s important to be consistent in any sort of writing column or subscription service–you don’t subscribe to Youtube feeds that are about video games one day and food the next (particularly if the person knows nothing about video games/food). So … More Now Appearing in this Space: Roads Not Taken.
The Escape Artists podcast “Cast of Wonders” recently published my short story “Lost in Translation.” It’s probably the longest story I’ve managed to get published yet–which isn’t saying a lot; it’s about 4000 words or so. Give it a listen if you have a spare half-hour, or else you can read through the text, which … More Story/Podcast: “Lost in Translation”
I recently picked up World War Z by Max Brooks. It’s a good read. Haven’t seen the movie, so can’t compare, but the use of disjointed narratives to paint a global picture of the zombie near-apocalypse is ingenious and used well. Max Brooks gets to cover nearly every possible reaction to the zombie apocalypse, … More Zombies vs. Martyrs
This post is not meant to be shared. I do not intend to post it on Facebook, or Twitter, or any other social media (apart from this blog). I’m just making it to have something down, on record, of how I thought about Trump. I sort of wish I’d made one of these before. I’ve … More For Records Purposes
Author’s Note: What follows is an article I wrote for the comedy website Cracked. It was eventually rejected, but I’d put so much work into it, I decided I should post it somewhere else. Let’s face it—ruling a galaxy-wide empire is pretty hard, even with an army of automatically subservient clone soldiers who can’t hit … More 6 Reasons the Empire Sucks at its Job
I think I finally figured out Bioshock Infinite. Not the ending. The ending is pretty straightforward, so long as you’re paying attention. [Quick Note: Obviously, this article is going to deal in quite a lot of SPOILERS, so if you haven’t played it and plan to, just stop here.] In fact, in some ways the … More Bioshock and the Horror of the Infinite [SPOILERS]
Let me preface this by saying that I am, and have been for quite a while, a big comic book nerd. When Iron Man came out in theaters and Nick Fury popped up on screen, I was the only one who went apeshit when he said “Avengers Initiative.” I am familiar with all of Batman … More 4 Reasons Why Living in the Marvel Universe is Horrifying
