http://www.kickstarter.com/projects.....the-video-game I was really hoping to see this live, especially after my big disappointment of the James Pond kickstarter not making it. I thought I'd share it here if anyone else is interested in supporting the project.

...but realistically, the depressing fact is that generic gray macho military games (not that these are bad games, per se, but I quickly lost interest because it all looks the same and attracts the same Neanderthal macho BS crowd) sell like hot cakes while many fun, quirky franchises seem to be often forgotten or rebooted for "todays audiences" -something I like about these 2 game projects. James Pond was going to be the same cheeky, colorful, British plat-former full of dorky puns, Boogermans playful and juvenile personality and world haven't been watered down or "made "edgier" for today's kids. They were/are for the original fans and it shows.

anyhow, it looks like both games won't make it and that really sucks. But what doesn't suck? I went to the Equality Ball last night and it was very nice. Felt like I was finally enjoying the high school prom experience I was denied due to all my fears growing up (and could have very well been kicked out of those proms for being trans, anyway). Got to see lots of folks from my support group - oh, I had joined a support group by the way, heh - and didn't have too much trouble tolerating all the "fancy and elegant" nonsense *laughs* Those fancy pants foods were actually pretty good. Stuffed mushrooms...yum!

They DID throw away my 50 dollar cupcake though...that is one fancy pants tradition I've always loathed. What is so "classy" about going behind your customers back and throwing away their meal without asking? I DEMAND ANSWERS!
