So the blizzard that slammed Montana, Minnesota and Wisconsin decided to turn hard south and skip Michigan. Thanks. It's been a fun week of work, sorta writing (curse you ME3!) and the like. Even so, I did manage to get a lot of stuff done, I think, and I only have a small pile of stuff to work through this weekend.
On Mind the Thorns:
The polls closed and Regan has opted to head out in her vampire finest to the party. She's going to strut through the doors like a woman to be respected, rather than slipping in the back to quietly watch. I'm also very happy that I slowed down my posting schedule because this week has been a very active week for musing and I feel like a lot of good things have fallen into place over that time. Now will I manage to get the next chapter written for Sunday?
On Bastion: The Last Hope
This week's update to Bastion is the first real flashback to before the meteors fell. I'm planning more of these to help flesh out the back stories of the main characters. I really went back and forth on including the subtitles because I do think there's something fun about having a hidden story in the French, but I'm not sure I'm ready to hand over an entire video to that.
On Fictional Omens
Marketing. It's all about the Marketing. Over on Stop the Good Reads Bullies as well as countless other Meta-review sites there always seems to be some kind of drama brewing about who's out to get who and threatening who. After reading ChibiNeko's comments on the never ending font of drama, and efforts from the StGRB to get more of "their side" out, I decided I would weigh in a bit on why reviews matter so much to people trying to make it happen.
At home:
In gaming I'm still plunking away at ME3 but I'm annoyed at my own lack of abilities as well as how far behind the equipment curve I am. Because the more times you play the more chances you get to unlock cool weapons (all randomly), I'm very far behind on the equipment curve for Multiplayer. Plus what you get is random so there's no "I'm working towards X". You just roll the dice and see what you get. If you don't usually use a shot gun, or a sniper rifle you can easily find yourself progress.
Kaylee's sleeping through the night again (yay!) and her lower GI stuff seems to be sorting itself out (you know you're a parent if you've ever thought "Yay, Poop!"). And Xander, the 5 year old, is now sleeping on the top bunk. He likes it.
And.... your weekly video:
I've been playing around with iMovie as part of my work on Bastion. It is functional for the layman but for any real Power-Editing it totally doesn't have the tools to do much beyond lining up clips for play back. Either way here's a montage of last week sledding:
