What's New by Gremlin

Site of the Living Dead

I've been meaning to do this for a while. I just never got round to it before.
Now I have: I grabbed SiteoftheLivingDead.com.
The next step is to figure out what to do with it. Options include developing a zombie site, obviously--and I haven't ruled that out at all; it also ties in nicely with the whole Subheroes thing; and, it could just be some new timewaster site...which is what we're kinda thinking about doing with FaceofSatan.com at the moment.
Of course, as always, there's a lot more thinking than doing. Which is something we're thinking about changing, even if we're not actually doing anything about it.
How lazy have you got to be before you start planning to move past the planning stage....
Anyway....
There is actually a bit of news here. Hunter has been elected President. Erm...of FORCES. Um...in Colorado. But that's still good news.
There was a slight delay on that, since Hunter doesn't actually smoke; FORCES weren't quite sure why a nonsmoker would want to Fight Ordinances and Restrictions to Control and Eliminate Smoking; but it all worked out in the end. Hunter is officially in charge of FORCES Colorado.
Which means that people in Colorado who smoke might wanna EMail her and...say something. Ask questions, suggest ideas, send money, or whatever.
I'm not sure whether sending money is currently a writeoff. If not, it will be soon. Simple matter of setting it up as an NPO. We should know more about that by the end of the month.
In still other news, just as I finally got back online, it looks like I'm leaving again for a bit. I've got to fly to DuhMoines for a few things--probably sometime this month. It shouldn't affect things much: I should be able to upload stuff from the office there. And, I shouldn't be there for more than a week. Not that it matters how long I should be there; every time I go to DuhMoines for a week, I end up there for several months. I don't really know why.
There was something else I was going to mention, but I can't remember what it was now.
Oh yeah. This wasn't it, but I should mention this anyway.
Some idiot in California [I know: that's largely redundant] has proposed a new federal law against allowing minors to know anything about videogames containing red pixels. Or something. Apparently, the WARNING: CONTAINS EXPLICIT SCENES OF VIOLENCE AND GORE thing wasn't good enough, and they're now seriously considering passing a law against seventeen-year-olds being in the same zipcode as a game containing red pixels. It's very dumb.
Anyway: granting that people are stoopid enough to get this fucking law passed, this may be our last chance to release a videogame in which people are killed by extremely violent means, for no good reason, by various drunks and criminals, for the greater good of the universe. Which is why we're currently developing a videogame depicting the various tales of the bible.
It's not all worked out yet, but we have a few things already.

EdenLevel: you are Cain; beat the living shit out of Abel until he dies

FloodLevel: you are Noah; you got too drunk to launch the ark; you must leap from floating dead body to floating dead body to catch the boat before the water rises to the top of the screen

BonusLevel: dash the little ones' heads against the rocks to earn foreskins--one hundred foreskins equate to BornAgain OneUp

CrucifixionLevel: you are Jesus Christ; using a variety of ComboMoves, you must resist the temptation to smite everyone on the planet with lightning bolts as you're stabbed in the ribs and otherwise annoyed

ResurrexionLevel: you are Jesus Christ again; you must use a variety of ComboMoves to convince Thomas that it's really you

FinalLevel: you are a christian; since you can't win a debate against an atheist, you must kill them all before the Rapture begins

You can see why we have to hurry on this; the new laws won't allow children to hear anything about the bible until they've turned eighteen.
More later....
