Thanks Metal Storm

Chapter:

Hear is an odd phobia for you. My absolute favorite NES game was Metal Storm. It had this amazing little robot that could flip gravity as it ran and blasted its way through,…what ever the story was, I honestly have no idea. The more I played the more I thought about what would happen if it happened for real. Well one thing lead to another and now I automatically imagine gravity flipping if I look up for too long and immediately need something to hold on to. Sometimes I do it to myself for laugh at the absurdity.

Does a fear of reverse heights have a name?

Bob Seger

Chapter:

Sometimes I like to listen to Against the Wind and drift off to memories of summer night road trips. The sporadic islands of light in the distance always catch my attention the most. As we pass by I can’t help but feel wonder at the endless possibilities for why the lights are on.

 

Thanks Grandpa

Chapter:

Procrastinating got weirdly personal today.

Some days it really hard to draw if I manage to get off early. I’ve had only a couple early nights off in the last 4 weeks so when I finished at 6 today only dread filled me for this evening. While I started the drawing for tonight I just found myself in a rut and stood up to walk around a bit, when I returned the autoplay on youtube had started a midway documentary. I couldn’t turn it off. Not only could I not turn it off, the longer it when on I just found myself enthralled with learning the why’s behind a movie I only ever watched with grandfather in Florida.

Without fail, anytime we would visit my grandparents we would end up watching 2 of 3 movies. Your options for this double feature were “The Bridge over the River Kwai” or “Midway”, with Down Periscope following shortly.  I don’t think this sense of grandpa hanging around is going to subside until I watch Down Periscope again.

Birfday.

Chapter:
Characters:

I have a son. I’ve felt guilty he’s not in here but my son was not born when this idea was started an as he’s developed a personality I’ve folded him into Mr. Owl. I’m just acknowledging it here so in the future he know’s I wasn’t ignoring him.

Irony.

Chapter:
Characters:

I did not feel like doing anymore work today when I sat down. This will be my first weekend even sort of off in 3 weeks so my brain has shut down. In shutting down my brain still took the same length of time to get this one done as if I’d done a more elaborate one. The feeling is still correct.

Out of gas

Chapter:
Characters:

After 23 days the crunch is done, I feel bad for game developers doing that all the time. Since I haven’t had a day off in so long, my brain keeps thinking its friday. That makes it very hard to be motivated on what should be a day off. I’m going to step away from my computer and read one of the unread books that are collecting dust on the shelf.

I’m almost free.

Chapter:

Tonight should mark the end of the crazy late nights. Now just a normal amount of,……extra work, beans. At least the next two jobs have farther deadlines, makes it alot less demanding.

I bought Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion and liked it way more than I thought I would. I’m going to give it a few plays but I can almost guarantee I’m buying the full game.
