Also, a colleague of mine told me that the creator of this thing, Cecelia Condit, is currently TEACHING FILM AND VIDEO at UW-Milwaukee, my alma-mater. . .

GUYZ/GALZ.  I was only a decade away from learning from the Yellow King him/herself!

At least you only posted a link to the short cut.  I got to "experience" the full new-wave King in Yella' at an underground film festival in Milwaukee years ago. 

So, in case Ross' HORRIBLY ACCURATE TRIGGER WARNING FOR GAWD'S SAKE PROTECT YOUR SANITY AND DO NOT WATCH THIS THING wasn't enough to stop you. . .

Here's the full one!

Cherie Priest is really good.  Daniel Boone fighting a frightening beastie is all sorts of awesome.

Hope that was a really fast car.

Well, at the beginning of the scenario, she got to choose between a fast car and a maneuverable one.  She promptly explained that there really was no choice, and only stupid-heads would take the slower car.

She was right!

This weekend I ran demos of Night's Black Agents and Atomic Robo on Free RPG Day.  For NBA, the players were chasing down a vampire in possession of a tactical nuke.  Once the players were in possession of the nuke, they were unable to disarm it and a countdown began before detonation.

Upon seeing the countdown, the 12 year-old girl playing the surly Irish wheelman, promptly declared "screw this, mates!" and sped away, leaving her party members behind with the nuke and blank stares.

Fired up the old Wii and am playing Super Mario Galaxy for the first time.

And it is fucking awesome!  Trippy, fast-paced platforming gewdness.

I just plowed through Ex-Heroes by Peter Cline.  Zombie apocalypse + super heroes = WIN. 



It's great material for Base Raiders, as nearly a third of the book is heroes leading teams of people to scavenge for supplies, and it is clever in how it approaches whether or not a hero can be affected by a zombie attack.

I like the unicorn warning sign.

Also, if I were a player, I wouldn't step NEAR that fucking owl.  FUCK.  THAT.  No good can come from that room.

Has anyone played The End of the World: Zombie Apocalypse?  It uses the EDGE system that provides the base mechanics of Fantasy Flight's Star Wars RPGs, but the big gimmick/feature is that the players create THEMSELVES as characters.  Again, it seems gimmicky, but the EDGE system is pretty gewd, and it might be worth a one-shot.

Jason Statham - oily 90s go-go dancer.

He shows up about 35 seconds in, but the whole video is amazeballs
