Got all the Riddler trophies/challenges/etc. Beat the normal mode and all side missions, currently working on it in game plus mode. Saving the challenge maps until I'm done with the other stuff, they are way too hard/boring smile

I put soooo many hours into Dragon Age, never got full completion though :/ actually, I don't think I ever finished it either, kept restarting with different character builds, lol!

Actually just grabbed The Witcher 1 & 2, based on how cool the third looked at E3. lol, I suppose it was the Arkham Origins stuff that got me interested in Arkham City again. Didn't see any of the new Dragon Age stuff, did it look good?

I bought the Witcher 2 a couple days ago, there was an awesome sale on gog.com.

While I liked Arkham City, I didn't think it was as good as Arkham Asylum.

I'm starting to think I should have kept in the tourney as a contestant.

I just don't know what I would write. I haven't had a single image for the original one I pitched in months, but I feel like competing for competition's sake.

I know its up to Blair, but given how chaotic deadlines have been thus far, I can't imagine anyone having a problem with you submitting issues 1 & 2 at the same time

Of course I couldn't be a judge then.


Or could I....



...I couldn't sad








....or could I...





Actually, if I did join I'd probably try to write a Star Trek comic, because they had those for a while, and if Star Wars is fair game...

Wouldn't we have to be related for nepotism to be a factor?

If anything it would be cronyism. And I am no man's crony. Except Gabriel Garcia-Marquez. I'd be that man's crony any day.

I'm flattered.

I actually kind of feel like crap right now because I'm not writing anything. I spent the last year writing one book and now I'm afraid to write something else because I worry that if I do I'll turn away from it and it will never get published.

Also I feel like the science fiction/space opera book I want to write would be better as a tv show, but damn if I could get in on that racket without already establishing my name.

/first world writer problems

While certainly not "easy", breaking into TV as a writer is probably the easiest way to get into the industry. Staying there is something completely different.

I dont mind you coming back if you want. This is, by the nature of the tournament, going to be the most lax tounament in KMC history. I just want everyone to turn in their six issues.

If I were to be in TV I wouldn't want to be "just" a TV writer, I would want to be a Gene Roddenberry type showrunner. It's pretty much a pipedream though, and in any case science fiction is just sort of a fun mental hobby for me.

I'll have to give it some thought. Would a Star Trek comic work?

Okay, cool.

If a story comes to me in the next week, I'll let you know. I'd probably write something in the post-TNG/DS9 era, maybe explore the Beta Quadrant.

I talked to a friend about something similar recently, because I'm having trouble writing given I know I'm not good enough at it to produce the perfect product I want in the end. Basically she told me I have to kill my babies...

Just do it, write a TV show /shrug

Kill your darlings? Yeah I've heard that, but then the guy who said that was Faulkner, and he was a drunk, a liar, a braggart, and an all around *******, an amazing writer, but not the final word.

Faulkner also complicates any advice he gives by claiming that the "true artist" doesn't take advice from anyone else. laughing out loud

I get what your friend meant though.

Edit: Blair, I take it I'd need to make a new pitch, right?

sounds just like the influence I need...

I hear you, though, given I'm preventing myself from writing because I don't want to spoil my ideas, I think it might be appropriate advice in this case, if not a rule I shuld follow in all cases
