The players must survive an outbreak of the undead . . . in Detroit . . . in 1970 . . .

That's right! You play as afro wearin', funky, bell-bottom sportin' psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadooloopin', mofo's!

Anybody wanna help me write this up. Let me know.

I was gonna run Rifts but that fell through. I thought up a couple of Call of Cthulhu stories: one kinda long running and the other is when the players take turns being vengeful spirits or boogeymen trying to kill off the other players (who would be normal guys and girls). But no one in my area likes to play horror games. I bought the Warhammer 40,000 RPG, Dark Heresy and read it through (great game system! I'd play it if I could find players). But everyone I know has schedule clashes. I'm starting to think the only clash is that no one wants to be bothered with perhaps the only black guy in Detroit that listens to Nile and Cannibal Corpse rather than Lil John and the Eastside Boys or TI.

So I've pretty much been paintin' minis and going around collecting signatures to recall our city's mayor (check out the site at recallkilpatrick.com, btw). God, I wish I lived in Mud Bay.

Do they even make them anymore? I just dug out a whole bunch of old tapes and I wanna hear 'em - especially 'cuz I can't find 'em on CD. And while we're on the subject of old media players . . . does anyone know where I can find a good pic of the last boss in Silent Hill 2? Has anyone played Silent Hill: Origins for the PSP? How is that?
And there's this site that helps you make charas for RPG Maker. I still have the first one for Playstation 1. Once you create one on the net and save it as a .jpg, how do you get it onto your game console? Is that even possible?
Just some really nagging questions on my head.

So I decided to go a little retro for a while in the video game world. My wife got me the ENTIRE .HACK video game series (up to Rebirth) last Christmas. And I figured I'd go ahead and try them out now.

I played through 1 and 2 before, but I stopped there. I later became curious about the story so now I'm gonna clear 'em all. Me geeky dweeb.

I'll also be going retro with my art pieces. I'll finally get around to coloring all those pieces I've been intending to. Maybe after that I'll be confident enough to offer prints and commissions. Maybe I'm good enough now. I don't know.

Also, ever notice how service from the utility companies - phone, cable, etc. - may not be as good on the weekends? That's because that's when all the newbies are made to work. The company gives them perhaps a few days to two weeks of training and them throws them out on the phones to service you, the customer. If a customer service rep seems unsure of what they state - most likely they are. And it's because they are not properly trained by the company. So If you get bad info from a rep, don't be too quick to blame her or him. Instead ask to speak to a supervisor. Now this probably won't work - don't expect it to. CSR's are trained to never to call on a supervisor usually because - believe it or not - the supervisor knows even less on the matter than the CSR. The supervisor has been relegated to a functionary position of reviewing the numbers and terminating CSR's who don't meet the quotas. But atleast this way you tried. Next write a letter to the company succinctly expressing your dismay at their policies. Demand change from the top. Because they've made it so that fussing to the man on the bottom isn't going to get you anywhere.
