Here’s Something You May Or May Not Find Interesting
Real updates? What the hell are those?
Just as Governor Jesse Ventura did not have time to bleed in Predator, so I do not have time to post blog entries containing actual content. Instead, I give you this half-assed meme:
ONE earliest film-related memory:
Transformers: The Movie. Specifically, Hot Rod opening the Matrix of Leadership and proceeding to kick Galvatron’s (voiced by Leonard Nimoy!) ass, then driving the ship straight out through Unicron’s eye to safety. Hell yeah.
TWO favourite lines from movies:
“If only you could see what I’ve seen with your eyes.”
“Conan, what is best in life?” “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women!”
THREE jobs you could do if you could not work in the ‘biz’:
Role-playing game or videogame writer.
Comic book writer.
Comic book store owner, but I’d probably go bonkers and shoot myself.
FOUR jobs you have held outside the industry:
There’s only one, and it’s freelance RPG writer.
Although I did do short internships on a British TV show and at an advertising agency.
THREE book authors you like:
There’s too many, but…
Neil Gaiman.
Grant Morrison.
H.P. Lovecraft.
TWO movies you’d like to remake or properties you’d like to adapt:
Roger Zelazny’s Lord of Light.
White Wolf’s Exalted.
(Castlevania would be on this list, were it not for recent events which we shall not deign to speak of.)
ONE screenwriter you think is underrated:
Judd Apatow. And yes, he’s getting a lot of press these days, but I still think he’s underrated. Give this man a new TV show, for god’s sake.
And that’s all folks. Hope you enjoyed it!
We want to see a quote from one of your works too, dammit. At current RPG writing rates that’d at least be another 20 cents.

Another glorious movie quote:
“I heard you was up in Indochina eating sushi and shit.”
“I thought sushi came from Japan.”
“I know where sushi come from, nigga.”
