Just as we’ve done in all mod 4 posts, questions from the readers will be answered. In some cases, reader posts have been combined or completely made up.
Q. How can you have a mod 4 post when this is post 30, and you have never had a mod 4 post previously?
A. See the title? I’ve decided that alone can decide whether or not the post is a mod 4. Who knows when the title will strike and questions will be answered.
Q. What have you been up to?
A. Excellent question.
Website Stuff
Have you checked out the linker? I put the Car Talk radio show on the list of podcasts I listen to, as well as the tools that could be used to put the show back together in mp3 form. In addition, the list of bands which I have folders for on my computer have been added to the page, with links to whatever felt most official, or what I found first. If I couldn’t find anything on them, or it seems the band is no more, a link was get you unintentionally ignored for a month.
Magic Stuff
Previews of Coldsnap have started showing up on Wizards site. The new old set has some interesting cards. They’re trying pretty hard to make snow covered work. I’m anxious to see what happens at the pre-release. Steve said he should be able to come, though he qualified that by stating his availability is more up in the air since he started working at the Palazzo. I also need to check in with Sully to see if he’d be available for some new old school card flopping.
Energy Drink Stuff
Mad Croc has been my energy drink of choice for the past week or so. It has some of the biting taste of Red Bull, but comes in a bigger can and costs half as much. Plus, it contains Vitamins! Everyone needs Vitamins to start their day, and the thought of a mad croc eating you from the inside out over the course of the day is an added bonus.
Condiment Man Stuff
A Condiment Man movie of Episode Dos and 1/2 has been made (see previous post). The new story where CM faces off against Steve Case was also typed up, though it hasn’t even started the revision process. I’ve also decided to make an aside in the story into a concurrent plot thread instead. In the following story, a new villain is going to be introduced who has his very own sidekick. I’ve also thought about making a few more movies for YouTube that aren’t moving stories.
Time Stuff
My past found some sort of worm hole and jumped into my present over the last weekend. Dave, one of the guys I was good friends with back in Mechanicsburg, found my MySpace page and sent me a message about a month ago. Since I hardly ever check the page and when I do, assume the majority of my mail is junk, let his “Hey” message sit in my inbox for way too long. When I replied, it turns out he, Aaron, and Mike are still good friends who have been up to some crazy stuff since I last saw them over 10 years ago.
TV/Movie Stuff
I’m interested to watch Who Wants to be a Superhero? to see how well it’s done, and somewhat wish I would have known about it sooner. If done right, I think My Super Ex-Girlfriend could be right up my alley. Just watch the trailer.
Q. Is this a good place to ask? Or is email better?
A. It really depends on what you’re after. If you’d like a timely response, email is probably best. Though if I have something ready to post, you may get lucky. One things for sure, sending a message to my MySpace will almost certainly get you unintentionally ignored for a month.
