A Couple of LOLCATS to Cheer me Up

Last night's L5R adventure was a bit weak. Its nothing to do with the 2 new players, one last week, one this week, that have joined the game, but rather the rail-roading and paper-chase style of the night's adventure.

We are on the hunt for information from a Kuni Witch-Hunter in Crab lands. Every lord we meet has information which will lead to his whereabouts. When we meet this witch-hunter we find out that he knows nothing, but he knows someone who does, and so the paperchase hunting continues. This carried on for the entire night.

Still to cheer me up I found these 2 cats, one Ive already posted, so tough.

I reckon its just some hobo who has been rooting around some old studio backlot and found a ton of old shite.

Moving Closer

I have the software to compose the comic strip, as well as the scripts. I have also gotten a fair few images/screencaps from the opening scenes to start.
I am hoping to have the first comic up by the end of December. I am also due to revise the scripts as I found I was using too much material in the early ones, too many jokes and ideas that I can spread out a bit.

Status Quo

No not the embarassingly rubbish rock band, but rather I am collecting screencaps for the series, and beginning to build a basic page layout template. Scripts have been written for the first 5 episodes, and seeing how everyone else is approaching it, I may get more life out of a seconds worth of film.

DM of the Galaxy has a Rival Already

I have been lazy, and no reason not to cry, but there is already a DM of the Galaxy rival out there in the form of Darths & Droids.

I have begun screencapping the film and will begin a slow production of maybe one or two a month.
D&D (ha ha) is actually running from episode 1 of Star Wars, whilst mine will start from episode 4.

Darths & Droids

A while back I mentioned the DM of the Rings, and how I envisaged a spinoff called DM of the Galaxy. Apart from a few scripts, and a holding webpage, I didnt really do anything else.

Seems someone else has beaten me to it, albiet in a different style than I anticipated with Darths & Droids.

So far it seems good. But this will not stop me. I have decided to continue on regardless.

My Multi-Region DVD Player Finally Died

Kinda annoyed for no reason, but now I have one.

My DVD player, a reliable Toshiba which I had modded to play any region DVD finally packed up this week end. I was annoyed, it was a faithful unit, and served me very well. I have a DVD cinema system at home, so I kept it mainly to play my region 1 DVDs I bought over the years. Its just now I've realised that I have some very precious DVDs in region 1 format that I am going to have to hunt on Ebay to replace.

No surprise that the old region 1 DVDs will end up on Ebay themselves. But the 3 that Im most sad to see go, and sure I wont be able to replace that fast are

Mummy Collectors Edition, Brendan Fraser version directed by Stephen Sommers
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a classical funny film, and a cult film to boot
Dune: Mini-Series, the Sci-fi Channel's adaptation of a brilliant book

As I said, these and the others will end up on Ebay shortly the moment I stop crying.
