Hey Hey, it’s Cliffy’s New Project!
by Cliff on Jan.28, 2010, under Geektastic
I quietly added DRM News to my links list awhile ago, but I figure it’s time to holla at my playah…or…something. Christ.
So yeah, after leaving Reclaim Your Game, I was still interested in doing writing on DRM info and stuff like that. Anyway, Brad (those of you who pay attention to comments on here would know him better as Qikdraw) and his wife Kathy had also left RYG and wanted to do something, and set up a simple little Wordpress site. I joined in and…well, that’s actually pretty much it. I’ll have to add in some ninjas and perhaps an exciting scene with rhinos rampaging down a small town street later to beef up the “Holy shit!” factor.
It isn’t anything too fancy. We just do little articles up when something news worthy drops and add a few editorial type ones, too. We’ve actually been throwing content up for a few weeks before announcing anywhere so that there is actually some material there if/when people start swinging by.
We have some plans for how to grow it from here, some stuff that would be pretty cool if/when it comes to fruition (haha! Still being a cryptic bastard!).
And now you know…the rest…of the story.

No pirates? You can’t have ninjas without pirates. Maybe ninjas battling pirates in the middle of a rhino rampage while Sarah Palin in a bikini shoots heavy machine guns. (you’re welcome for that image) Unless of course you’d rather have John McCain in a bikini shooting a heavy machine gun. (and you’re welcome for that image too)

Pirates are kind of played out at the moment, as are zombies (otherwise I would have included them). It’s the ninja’s turn to shine.

When will the pirate/ninja/zombies have their moment to shine?
I know what you’re going to say… “I’m not racist but, pirate/ninja/zombies are not natural. They don’t belong in fictional stories with other pure characters.” You’ll also probably say that they bring in an element of thugishness to stories, and that they should just stay with their own kind.
What has a pirate/ninja/zombie ever done to you?

Hmmm…I’m not convinced as to the effectiveness of a ninja zombie. It would seem to lose all the quickness and speed and (due to the moaning) stealth that makes ninjas effective. And since ninjas operate on their own or in small groups, they wouldn’t even really make for an effective pack of the undead.

Cliff, it is so totally cool that you write about nerd stuff in addition to your usual — and completely delightful — ranting. I’ve clearly been tuned out for far too long! *smacks self*

Sweet Lucifer’s Ghost! Monique LIVES?!
And of course I write about the various aspects of nerd-dom…I have permanent residence there.
