I run Scary-Crayon!
Yes, I actually wrote a 50,000+ word "novel" in a single month -- and here's how I did it! :D
DUNCAN MACPHISH
WESOTERIC v1.x is powered by WordPress. Great program, highly recommended. :)
Am I the only person who thinks Michelangelo's response is hilarious?
Also, for fans of the old Random Lunches pieces that I used to feature on Scary-Crayon, I posted an article about a week ago that covers a handful of Random Lunches from 2004 that I never got around to highlighting back in the day. But in The Lost Lunches: Volume One, you can now view them in all of their horrifying and potentially dry heave-inducing splendor! Yesh.
Okay, not really -- the Martha stand-in is Kyushi from the Shadowrun line and the Judoon representative is Rocksteady of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame -- but still. I also dug up my Liada figure from Shadowrun -- I may have to use her as Romana or a native of some new alien planet.
And speaking of the Doctor and crew, the rundown of the second Doctor's Dalek encounters is up at Retroactive Continuity Redux. Check it out!
All for now, then.
Since there was apparently some trouble involving viruses over at the old Retroactive Continuity, I've updated De's link to direct readers to the new online home of his ramblings at Retroactive Continuity Redux. And if you pop over there today (or read this post), you will be in for a treat, as De has begun to chronicle of the history of the Daleks beginning with a discussion of the First Doctor's encounters with the stylish cyborgs. Yay!
In other news, I had a bit of trouble getting online today, as somehow my router got reset and I couldn't remember the default password to log into my 3rd party firmware and configure it correctly for connecting to the web. Eventually I got all of that sorted out, though I'm sure that there are still some values that I have yet to reconfigure to my liking. I have also figured out why some of the older games that I nabbed recently (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus and Batman: Vengeance for $5 each!) were running headache-inducingly slow on my machine despite the fact that it should be more than capable of running these titles, so that's good. Apparently, the problem had to do with the dynamic switching of the CPU speed. Usually, when a program requires more resources, the CPU speed increases accordingly, but for whatever reason it wasn't doing that here. If I manually set the speed to a fixed higher value, however, the games run properly. So remember that if you ever have any similar problems!
By the way, have you ever noticed the redundancy of the term "walking zombie"? Unless they get their legs blown off by a shotgun blast, walking is one of the few things that zombies typically do. They didn't in the Dawn of the Dead "remake", but wow that movie was awful.
