News From the Wub
So I've fallen off the wagon when it comes to making regular updates to this groupblog.
The important thing is that I'm climbing right back on.
In the interblags, a few recent items of note:
First, on the main page of Penny Arcade, buried below the newspost, is the cutest story about Pokemon ever. It touched my heart, and I generally have all sorts of pointy bones and pale skin to protect me from contact of that nature.
I mean, honestly. Heart-touching moments from Penny Arcade? About Pokemon? Without even a hint of cynicism? (Well, from Gabe, anyway.) Make sure to read the letter Gabe received, it's all the way at the bottom of the page.
Certainly worthy of note.
Second: Girl Genius is finally whole and complete, on the internet, for you to read, from the very first page to the very latest. For those of you who have not been following this comic, I suggest you do. For those of you that have, the Girl Genius 101 section has finally caught up to the Advanced Class. It's mad science pulp adventure romance in a Gaslamp Fantasy world, by Phil and Kaja Foglio, and it is excellent.
Third: Several days back, Warren Ellis, (whose site is very much not safe for work, or anywhere else, really, I mean it. For serious. It's Bat Country in there sometimes) posted the first chapter of his new novel for the perusal of the general public, in a move he titled "Fuck Harry Potter.
Said new novel comes out in less than two hours. It would make a sad old Moon Rasputin on the internet very happy if you bought a copy. Also, you might like it. Or it might kill you, instantly. Seriously.
It's called Crooked Little Vein, and the first chapter is here.
The book carries a warning similar to the one for the website linked above, but probably moreso, as it is distilled and concentrated to a degree that his web presence rarely is, and he started out trying to write something completely unsaleable.
Obviously, he failed, but still... don't look at it unless you are prepared for incredibly unpleasant images to appear in your mind.
It's not a nice book, but I'm willing to bet it's quite a good one.
Fourth... let's see. We have pokemans, death-ray wielding women, and filth... Ah, yes.
Fourth: I'll be at San Diego Comic-Con this year, and will endeavor to blog with all my might in order to give you, the nonexistent reader, an idea of the chaos that is Nerd Prom.
I think that's enough for tonight. This has been the Intarwub News Service, with anchorman Zach Marx. Thank you for your time. Up next? We have no idea. Thank you for watching Eleven Names.com
