I simply cannot work on this computer any longer. I am going to have to do something and I guess that something is a non-destructive recovery (first). If that doesn't work, it's a full reformat. This will likely take all day and night, but I simply have to do it.
I'll get what I can out to you as I can.

A Slow Week
I actually got a bunch of PRs from Marvel today, but they went to the spam folder for no reason I can figure. Lucky I checked it, because there were like 5-8 of them in there! I wondered what had happened. I'll get them out to you throughout the weekend.
Tomorrow is my weekly art class, but I'll be here after that. This week was a bust and I'm sorry for that, but I told you it would be. So long as they don't shut off my Internet, this week should be better (I really don't expect them to, just throwing that out there).
I figured out a way to shut off the QoS in Vista and it seems to have solved my intermittent connectivity issue (knock wood - gosh, I hope I didn't jinx myself by blogging it!). If that's true, we really will be back to business as usual - you've no idea how much having to stop and reboot every 15-20 minutes can destroy your work "ethic" or whatever. Really kills the impetus and has put me off doing much of anything lately.
I know I said I was going to share the lizardman studies with you this week, I just never got around to it. I'll try to do it soon. I actually didn't get much further with them, anyway. We'll see what tomorrow's class brings; I may have some other stuff to show you after that.
Anyway, nothing much to report, just stopping-by to say hello before I crash-out. I know it's early yet, and I plan on being up for a minute, but I slept really well last night and simply could not wake up all day long, so if my body just needs the sleep, I'm going to give it what it wants.

Heroes Renewed, but for Shorter Run
Heroes remains tied with The Office as NBC's most-viewed show in the 18-49 age bracket, but its declining ratings have led some to speculate on its return. However, Heroes has been renewed for a fourth season - albeit for only 18-20 episodes. That is fewer episodes than any season so far (not including the second, which was cut short due to the writers' strike).
This is sad only because this season has truly turned things around. Heroes still has a long way to go, but this third season has seen a serious change, with the characters actually doing things, stories actually going somewhere - and some of them even taking the bold step of making sense!

Help!
Hi guys, I really need some help:
I've been working my butt off on the Dark Conspiracy section. The problem is that I was checking it out on the Win98 machine and several paragraphs on the pages were wonky. While they appear fine on the Vista machine and the settings for both monitors and browsers are the same (so far as I can tell), but the pages are not appearing the same. The difference is that the Win98 machine is running older versions of the browsers... but I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not.
Of course, this is why many better designers say to leave all this alone - let the visitors' browsers handle it - but I'm looking to do something different. The Weirding is basically print online; I need more control than most designers because I am trying to establish certain tones, moods, and atmospheres, depending on the game and subject.
I just need some of you to check out the Dark Conspiracy Metrodome page and the RASSL page (with the Unarmed Melee Combat Expansion) and let me know if there are any problems - if you have trouble seeing anything or words are running together or anything else.
Please, if you can take just a moment to look at them and let me know, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

Bluewater Launches Political Power
Due to the considerable buzz and sales success generated by the recent Female Force comic series, Bluewater announced it will build on the popular biography series with a spin-off title, Political Power - a new title that focuses on past and present American politicians.Launching in July, the inaugural issue features former Secretary of State and retired four-star general, Colin Powell. This one-shot format will cover his entire military and government service career.
"Like Female Force, Political Power will tell even-handed stories of the individuals responsible for shaping the American way of life," said Bluewater publisher Darren G. Davis.
Future issues of the series will include Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, Alexander Hamilton, Mae Ella Nolan (the first woman elected in her own right to the House of Representatives), and Nancy Pelosi.
"The title is not a history book with pictures," Davis said, "but they look to analyze what made these individuals influential, and in some respects, integral to our national identity."
With Female Force moving away from politics to women in the media, Davis felt compelled to find other intriguing and important political stories to tell.
"I think we have a unique way of exposing a younger demographic to these leaders that extend beyond the headlines," Davis added. "We are excited how well the Female Force series did with schools and libraries. We hope for a similar reception to Political Power."
The Political Power: Colin Powell cover was painted by Vinnie Tartamella whose credits includes Female Force: Hillary Clinton & Michelle Obama covers. Bluewater announced last week that Female Force: Sarah Palin is getting a 2nd printing. Bluewater is expecting the same of the Hillary Clinton issue.

She is also doing Atomic Fox' Fathom, which she is actually helping shepherd to the screen. Megan Fox has been a big fan of the comic book since its release. Fathom has no director attached, but once attracted the attentions of James Cameron.
Megan Fox was born in Tennessee. When she was born, I was listening to Slayer and fighting acne. I beat the acne. I also love comic books. (Call me!)

Paul Salamoff Joins Bluewater
Bluewater Productions is proud to announce that it is joining forces with Paul J. Salamoff, a 20-year veteran of the Film & TV Industry, to pen a number of exciting new titles based on licensed properties to be released in late 2009.Over the years, Salamoff has worked as a Make-Up FX Artist, Producer, Writer, Director, Author, and Film Executive (President of Production, Rat Bastard Prod.). He also serves as Film Moderator for The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. "What attracted us to Paul is that he brings these combined talents as well as a filmic sensibility to the world of comics and graphic novels," says Bluewater's publisher Darren Davis.
As a screenwriter, Salamoff has written features for the screen as well as the Sci-Fi Channel. He is also author of two non-fiction books: ON THE SET: The Hidden Rules of Movie Making Etiquette and The Complete DVD Book (co-written with Chris Gore).
Raised on a healthy diet of science fiction and horror from the age of five, writing for the comic world was a natural fit for Salamoff. When asked about his experience with Bluewater, he had this to say: "Working with Bluewater has truly been a rewarding experience. Their attention to detail is fantastic, and the artists in their stable are top-notch. The comics have turned out far better than I could possibly have imagined."
Davis adds: "Paul has great love and respect for genre material. It is clear in all his writing that he attempts to elevate the material and approach it with a fresh perspective."
Salamoff has just finished penning BLACK SCORPION and DEATHSTALKER & BARBARIAN QUEEN, two four-issue miniseries under the Roger Corman Presents banner.
"Paul has been a fan of ROGER CORMAN his entire life and brought that passion to this new series," said Davis. "Paul is also developing a couple of Bluewater's properties into feature films, which we will announce soon."

Told You So: Life on Mars Canceled
What can I say? I'm always right. ABC could not wait to cancel Life on Mars and they've done so. It will end its initial 17-episode run and have a finale, in which we will learn why Sam ended up in 1979 to begin with, and may even see his return to modern day.
ABC is over, in my book; with the passing of Life on Mars, they literally have 0 shows I care to watch. I know losing one viewer is no big deal to them, but seeing as how ABC has canceled the best shows they have going, I feel safe in saying they've lost more than one.

What Up, Nerds?
Hey guys, I'll be out of the house for a few hours to pay bills and so forth. I should be back late this afternoon and I'll most likely get more out to you tonight. It's just another of those late nights here to The Rundown.
This is a busy week. I told you before, I already know I'll be gone all day Thursday, as well. That means I'll probably schedule a few things to go out throughout the day, but I won't be here to moderate comments and so forth, nor bring you new and breaking news. But I'm not real good at the breaking news bit, anyway.
So, see you shortly!

Jersey Gods - Second Printing
2 March 2009 (Berkeley, CA) - The superhero epic, JERSEY GODS, by writer Glen Brunswick and artist Dan McDaid, returns for a second printing after a stellar sellout just in time for this week's second issue!"Dan and I are just thrilled to death with the sell-out," Brunswick said. "We put our heart and soul into JERSEY GODS. It's a very personal project. We're elated to find that so many people are feeling passionate about it as well."
JERSEY GODS, the story of a superpowered god meeting a small-town girl amidst an apocalyptic battle, gained instant notoriety after its unique blend of superheroics and slice of life situations was featured in mainstream press, including the CBS Evening News, New York 1, The Courier Post, The Bergen Record - even the front-page of the Star Ledger. The impressive debut resulted in a near-instant sellout at the distribution level, with artists Mike and Laura Allred stepping in for an alternate version of their original cover. This will coincide with the second issue, featuring the fallout of the debut's shocking battle and the romance JERSEY GODS will be driven by for years to come.
JERSEY GODS #1 2nd-Printing (JAN098065) and JERSEY GODS #2 (JAN092396), both 32-page full color comic books for $3.50, will be in stores March 4th, 2009.

The Skwirm
Hey guys, I'm designing a race of lizardmen for SAFE. The game statistics were done years back for the big game system, so I just have to convert them... well, something like that. But actually, I am working on the graphic design for them. I love drawing and Art, in general, and this is what I developed The Weirding for! So I'm having a lot of fun.
I'll give you a sneak preview of some of the studies I'm doing tonight or tomorrow.

Dice: Loser
For 20+ years now, Andrew Dice Clay has been "doing things [his] way." Sure, it worked for him 20 years ago - for all of 3-4 years - but when it ended, it was over. And the only person who has yet to realize this is Andrew Dice Clay.
Further, I've seen some of his more recent material and, again... you know, I actually like Dice, so I'm just not going to do this. He was the first voted off of tonight's Celebrity Apprentice (though I believe it should have been Dennis Rodman).
Wake up, Dice. Wake up and get over yourself - we all have.
