This is such a wonderful thing to do for a fan. I wish all franchise owners were this kind.

Fun With Omegle ! (drawin fans part 654562)

I’m the second one from the left in the middle row. Never have I been happier that I stayed up until 3 in the morning.

Dr. Seuss actually did do some political cartoons, so it would make sense that his children’s books would have a deeper message.

Wasn't this gonna be a dev blog?

Well, seeing as I’m now not going to college and instead spending time working on my games, It (mostly) will be.

Some of you may remember a game I posted this trailer for over a year ago called Respawn Man. Well, I guess you could say, development of that game RESPAWNED a while back, amirite? Sorry.

Anyway, I’m working with an awesome artist on that game, and it’ll hopefully be finished relatively soon. I can’t give a definite date yet, because that makes development a living hell, even if no one even knows that you’re releasing a game; stress becomes self imposed.

After Respawn Man, you’ll probably be seeing quite a few more interesting projects from me and this artist. Nothing’s set in stone yet. We’ll just have to see.

Atheism, Death, and Death Metal: I don't believe in the concept of evil.

Atheism, Death, and Death Metal: I don't believe in the concept of evil.:

jimhisself:

But if “evil” could be used to describe anything at all then, at the very least, it would have to be evil to believe that any crime committed in our finite, mortal universe would be appropriately and justly punished by absolute suffering for eternity.

It would have to be evil to equate the…

Atheism, Death, and Death Metal: My Friend Solidplasma

Atheism, Death, and Death Metal: My Friend Solidplasma:

This guy is one of my best friends. If his post (reblogged below) doesn’t make it clear how awesome he is, there’s something wrong with you. He is creative, funny (obviously) and as his name obviously implies, hisself. It’s like being himself, but with more hiss. The thing about being hisself is that he is so, unrestrictedly “Jim” that every other Jim in the world is a poser. Yes, even that guitarist. Jim is so Hisself, that everyone looks at him as he goes past and thinks, man that guy is the epitome of epitomes. He is so “Jim”. He is so one of a kind, that most newborn children about to be named Jim are vaporized due to his originality. He is Jim. He is THE Jim. The best of all the Jims. He is Jimhisself, and he is awesome.

jimhisself:

I met this guy in elementary school. He’s a pretty cool guy and, as his name implies, he is in fact made of solid plasma. Yes, not only is he a being of superheated, ionized gas, whom I have the privilege to call ‘friend,’ but also whose atoms are also tightly bound to each other, maintaining…

In your reality

Sun, 18 Dec 2011 10:03:51 -0500

Oh hi. Tell me something. How does it feel? Waking up and getting a text from your main squeeze? Getting up in the morning and going to work? Being around a group of friends regularly? Being able to say you do things that make you care whether you wake up in the morning or not?

I don’t know how it feels. Wanna know why? Because I don’t have a life. I have an imagination, muthafuckah. I know how it feels to pilot a octopus mech with laser-cannons through New York City, throwing the pitiful attack helicopters that feebly attempt to stand in my way at parked cars. I know how it feels to see everything. I know what it is to be nothing.

So enjoy your makeout sessions. Enjoy your career. Enjoy your magnificent social life. Just remember: You’re missing out on what you could be doing. You could be imagining. Which, by definition, is doing nothing.

A New Day

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 08:24:46 -0500

Last night was great when we saw a movie, shit on the car ride home, and suicide-thought inducingly awful when undisclosed events happened. Then I went to sleep…

……

………………………………….

Suddenly it’s a new day. I can start again, and people’s anger and frustration reset. Sure, I’ll fuck today up, be miserable tonight, and cry myself to sleep again, but I’ll feel fine come tomorrow morning. Come to think of it, I could do this for the rest of my……

I just applied to UMD college park.

Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:36:42 -0400

And I thought I would never participate in schooling again when I graduated. The fact of the matter is, life gets boring without some sort of structure. At least, it does for me. Whether it’s just so I can complain about it, or whether it actually gives a sense of purpose, I don’t know. What I do know it that, eventually, having no idea what comes next is tiring.

Well, wish me luck!

Atheism, Death, and Death Metal: Forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today.

Atheism, Death, and Death Metal: Forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today.:

nerviosismo:

“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics.

You are all stardust.

You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded….

jimhisself:

It kinda sucks that I have to rely on my best friend (who has Asperger’s syndrome, by the way) to tell me when a girl wants my dick.

I couldn’t even tell when the girl I liked wanted my dick.

You think that’s bad? I read this and internally felt conflicted that I wasn’t your best friend just because you mentioned someone else as being your best friend. There are people way more clueless than you, Jim. Besides, to misquote a maniac, “Fuckin’ girls, how do they work?” See? I can’t even console my best friend properly.

Whenever I go on tumblr, this epic and beautiful song plays in my head. Mainly just because the name of the song is Tumbler. It is, once again, indie video game music, from my all time favorite video game: World of Goo. That game is absolutely beautiful. You should buy it.

flyinggirl139:

Doesn’t feel like it though :/

Don’t get me wrong, I love my parents. My brother walked in the door and I gave him the biggest hug. My dog and cat are cute as shit and I missed the fuck out of them. I’m really excited to see Shannon and TMG this weekend.

But …

I spent 20 minutes driving, just…

I feel like I need to get out of the house more than ever. My life has come to what is almost a standstill. But I know the feeling of feeling out of place. Humans are built to adapt to change. If you were to ask me, I’d say you’ve adapted to you life at Wooster, and are now not exactly used to being back at your former home without anything to occupy you at this time. I would hazard a guess that, were you to stay here for several months, everything would feel normal again. But that’s not the point. The point is, who you are hasn’t changed. The kinds of people you like, how you react to a joke… Unless you tell me otherwise, I’d say you’re the same person you always were. Your friends still love you, and, evidently, you love them. After all, if life is a journey, it only makes sense that you will eventually leave a place behind literally. But I don’t think you’ll ever leave it behind in your heart.

I just submitted my first-ever IGF entry. I feel tingly. And nervous. And tired. It’s 5:30 am now. Please enjoy this silly trailer I put together for it.

James and I have the best texts

Tue, 11 Oct 2011 00:34:19 -0400

James: I've got a problem. I'm in the car, on the way home with Ashley and I just pooped my pants. What do I do? She's gonna notice eventually.
Graham: Suggest a Tim Horton's run? Act like you just saw Bigfoot and need to run into the woods? Pop the lock, then tuck and roll?
James: Ooooooo. I like the Bigfoot one. I'll let you know how it goes.
TWENTY MINUTES LATER
James: Awkward. I got into the woods to clean up, but I actually ran into Bigfoot. Now he's carrying me back to his cave. FML. Any suggestions?
Graham: Shit yourself again.
James: I got nothing left!
Graham: Hmm. Distract him with a performance of pop-locking. He doesn't know what robots are, it'll confuse him.
James: I like it. I'm a little rusty, but they don't call me the pop-locking maniac for nothing.
TEN MINUTES LATER
James: Door-locking maniac. They call me the DOOR-locking maniac. I'm terrible at pop-locking. He interpreted it as a mating dance and I've now been sexually assaulted by Bigfoot. I'm going to go cry by this tree for a while. Tell the world my story.
Graham: The bards will sing your name.
James: Now there's a song I would love to hear. "Who wants me to sing the tale of James and the day he pooped his pants and got rapped by Bigfoot!?"
Graham: ...
James: Raped. Raped by Bigfoot.
Graham: It SHOULD be a rap.

I sleep a lot.

Maybe it’s because it allows me to pretend nothing matters. Maybe it’s because I’ve currently got nothing better to do. But I think the main reason is that it’s the easiest way to turn my ideas into (what seems to be) reality.

That’s not to say I know how to force a lucid dream. I don’t, but I’d LOVE to learn how. But when I dream, I don’t have to worry nearly as much that something won’t go the way I want it to, because, even if I don’t realize it while dreaming, I’m in control of EVERYTHING.

Things happen when I dream: things that I know will probably never happen while I’m awake. Even if I don’t remember them when I wake up, dreams are so convincing at the time they’re being dreamt, that whether they’re amazing or horrifying, they’re better than almost anything I could be doing in the same time I spent awake.

Dreams are the very definition of “An Idea in Limbo.”

A career, you say?

Mon, 03 Oct 2011 21:17:00 -0400

I’m starting to see how, if I ~~made~~ FINISHED MAKING a good game, there would be plenty of ways to distribute it. I just have trouble finishing things, especially if they’re not well received initially. I guess I’ll just submit Sheeple to the IGF, and see how it’s received. I’d love it if this could be a career for me, but I just do- OH MY GOSH A PUPPY!!!!!!!0NEONE111!

Here’s some fanart I did for that game I keep talking about (The Binding of Isaac). I came up with some slight changes to the early bosses, so that I could make puns out of their names.
