That Be My Game Up on the Screen Yo!
They are running the Project Snowblind (note to Marketing - I'm not hyperlinking that because Flash sites with sound effects are ANNOYING yo!) TV spot during The Daily Show, which is kickass. The commercial itself . . . well it's a lead contender for the Rory Award for the Most Gratuitous Usage of the word "Unit" in a TV Commercial*. I guess it's OK but of course there's little to no actual gameplay. On the other hand, it's a TV ad! For a game I worked on! On an actual show that I watch!
*Note to JP - this is a riff from Life, The Universe and Everything. Someday you should read those books.

Whoah
So normally I put the long text here, and the pretty pictures there. But today's entry got me to wax loqacious about the rituals I use to summon my caffeine gods (apparently it didn't ALL get posted there. Yeesh!) Anyway, it had the talky-talk, so I thought I'd cross-link. Mission Accomplished! (and me without my interweb flight suit!)

Booklog Part II
So last week I ordered stuff from Amazon. I was mainly ordering the new They Might Be Giants CD & DVD (bonus opinion - meh. I liked No! and even the CD that came with the Bed Bed Bed book, but this alphabet stuff just isn't very interesting. I think TMBG+kids music is cool, but TMBG+Disney+kids is just way over the top).
ANYWAY Amazon did one of those "You would probably also like" things and it spit out this Yes that's right, it says "The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal". Now if you think I can resist that . . . well, what can I say? You haven't been paying much attention. When I went for more information it did one of those "buy it with X and save!" with this. Well. I bought them both and pretty much tore through them.
Lamb was slow going at first - up until Biff invented sarcasm and taught it to Christ. Then it just got hysterical and stayed that way for the rest of the book. And The Stupidest Angel was a one-day book that I just devoured. Funny and sharp all the way through. Really. My birthday is coming up - buy me more Christopher Moore! :-) If you're local, ask me to borrow these - they rock!
