New offices

2008-05-13T17:54:47Z

Yesterday my workplace finally moved to our new location after 5 months of waiting.
I finally have my own office with a window, it is most excellent.
Sadly it is even further north than the old location and my commute has grown.

The Health plan is good I hear

HERO news

2008-02-20T22:43:20Z

1. HERO games is coming out with a 6th edition in 2009.
They are looking at all sorts of issues and how the rules work and thing will change.

2. Champions (the setting) has been licensed and will become a MMORG made by Cryptic games.
But not using the HERO system, they'll be using their own.
HERO games still has the rights to make Champions products and use the art Cryptic puts out.
Cryptic are the people who made City of Heroes, but sold the rights to NCSoft, their publisher. Much of the COH(and villians) dev team went to NCSoft.

3. Owen, your dream has come true: Luche Libre Hero is planned to come out out later this year from HERO games.

I support the WGA's strike.
But it really sucks that it's happening when there's actually a decent crop of TV shows on this season. Oh, well.

For you Heroes fans out there

Back

2007-08-21T17:36:23Z

I'm back and had a great time!
The Black Hills are incredible, as are the Badlands. Pictures look great, but there is something about being there and words pale in their description.
If you want to see my pictures, let me know, I'm putting together a small show and need to adjust the size of the venue.

Once more, off into space...

2007-07-13T15:25:01Z

It's that time of year again. In less than one month I will be leaving on roadtrip to GenCon in Indianapolis.

This year however, I'm taking my own sweet time: going via Mount Rushmore. I've never been there and South Dakota has some great sites to visit (Badlands, Minuteman Missile Silos, Petrified Gardens, and more!). Plus there's the Devil's Tower just like 2.5 hours into Wyoming.

So I'll hit South Dakota then zoom over to Indianapolis, then back to Oklahoma.

This weekend my workplace is having the heat and air replaced. So I'm sure as heck not going to be hanging around there.
So who's doing what/want's to do something?

I'm normally not into the 'talent' and 'american idol' shows.
But this is worth a look see.

I finally managed to get to an OU Improv show, which includes modernorpheus.
I'm sorry it took me this long to make it to one of their shows. These guys are funny.
And at only $5 for 2 hours, it's better than most movies.

El Laberinto del Fauno

2007-01-20T16:57:24Z

Went and saw Pan's Labyrinth up at the Harkins on Friday.
Wow. An extraordinary movie. Harsh, but great.

Two side notes:
* It is in Spanish, with English subtitles
* It is _Not_ for the children

I certainly plan to see it again.
