I am an adult alive in a modern western technological society and yet . . .
I have never driven a car.
I have never tried recreational drugs.
I have never drunk beer
I have never text messaged.
Despite all manner of guys trying to get me to at gaming cons, I have never played Warhammer
(shiver)
(shiver)
I dream of living in the countryside and owning a telescope to watch the stars.
And I fear I am becoming too serious.
Well, My favorite color is blue. My favorite TV show is Dexter. My favorite console game is Xenosaga because of Kos-Mos. My favorite manga and anime (current) is Bakuman because it's about the process and business of creating art and writing. I played Dungeons & Dragons with my brother when I was 13. I have no favorite authors because I read too many, but the last really good book I read was Among Others by Jo Walton, because it was partly about the joy of reading science fiction and discovering others who did, and that happened to me when I was the same age as its character.
My favorite Star Wars movie is Troops. Disney should use it as the basis of the third trilogy. In fact, in its honor I will compose a poem:
Vader's Boys
Stormtroopers, we're Vaders boys
we take away the rebel's toys
we kick traitor ass and smuggler butt
we don't take no shit from the hutt
Boarding ships and riding lizards
we don't fear no Jedi wizards
rebel princess or scum named Lars
we'll take them down and make them ours!
Hauling ass on star destroyers
busting rebels, wookies, jawas
no comfy death star for Vader's boys
others serve these pretty toys!
True, some of us the boss has choked
yet rebels who face us end up smoked!
we make the Empire safe for man,
obedient to Lord Vader's plan.
- Why Marvel comics have sucked for the last few years, and are getting worse (okay, Matt Fraction's Hawkeye, which I just read, is pretty good. Both Hawkeyes).
- What I want in a tabletop roleplaying game and why can't I have it?
