Case introduced me to to GoW2&#8217;s Horde mode last night. couldn&#8217;t stop playing. Nearly as addicting as L4D? &#8230; seems clear to me co-op survival is ten times the man that deathmatch ever was. makes me think my plans for a &#8220;fight the crazed homeless&#8221; vidHero game were misplaced. while that should be an option, it should clearly be a co-op fight to survive some sort of endless horde. i want to say yuppies, but i don&#8217;t really hate yuppies. iams probably a yuppiess.  &#8230; FILM DIRECTORS! of course. you should be fighting off an endless horde of annoying filmmakers. this is very clear.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>eh. anwyho. someday.<\/p>\n<p>came here to (change the blog&#8217;s vis theme randomly, and) babble about web comic plans. clearly the printed comic is taking too long. Haven&#8217;t finished roughing out layouts for the second comic. keep rewriting and rethinking it.<\/p>\n<p>this morning it struck me i should bite off less. Shouldn&#8217;t think of web comics as something light to do when i have spare time. should focus on them. at least for the rest of this year. give it a real shot and see if i can build an audience of more than 100 people. oof.<\/p>\n<p>sooo. kicking around the old idea of  weekly movie mockery. the old idea was to mix all the movies released each week into one weird universe\/story. this was back when Driven was released against the mummy returns (so it was mummies on the race track). figure it might be fun to resurrect it as a way to hone my approach to vidhero art (speeding it up and simplifying it mostly, for more dramatic boldness\/contrasts). Maybe do a friday strip based around trailers, and a monday strip based around what i saw that weekend.<br \/>\npotentially a mid week strip based around whatever netflix rental (or videogame) i&#8217;ve most recently played.<br \/>\nit all seems clear. maybe fill in with random VitreousHumor ideas when they come up (and they have come up).<\/p>\n<p>no idea how to work in bloodsugar2016. that whole project is on hold until i can obsessively script out all the remaining entries. (i encountered this panic that my pacing was going to fail and i&#8217;d run out of time to hit the bgi twists properly. but writing it all out ahead of time turns out to be a major chore). really should have stuck with the original plan of just buying the URL and putting it up, and never telling anyone. (feel a little crushed by some friends who don&#8217;t like it so far. and a little pressured by other friends who keep asking when there will be more, although they&#8217;re probably just trying to be supportive).<\/p>\n<p>annnnd. blah. excessively personal blog post: SUCCESS<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>blah. excessively personal blog post: SUCCESS&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/2009\/08\/12\/in-the-morning-we-wake\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">in the morning we wake (rant)<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal-life"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.solidfuelstudios.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
