So most of the projects that I have supported are all funded and should be on their way in the next two years. Weee. And of course I have spent waaaay  more then I would have otherwise, because I’m supporting the people! Doing good things!!!

Funds being tapped out and all I have avoided over funding more projects for a while. And then a friend of mine linked this.

A board that doesn’t have to be held down by books, that doesn’t leave crappy ghost images, that might actually last and look decent? Yes please.

The other project I just backed is Tropes vs Women. A webseries looking at the various tropes that women in video games get put into.

This should be really interesting to see come to fruition.

Now I will be stepping away from the kickstarter, for a while anyway. =)

It’s time for the Fantasy Football playoffs, for the rest of the folks in my league anyway. That’s right, I finished LAST!
An abysmal year for me. My worst yet! Ah well, lesson learned. Put a bit more time into it. =P

Misfortune came to me as an email suggestion. I do try and accommodate such requests, though it sometimes takes me a while to find the time. I was also suffering under the misconception that this was a social game, which only enhanced my reluctance, but as I said, misconception.

While there are options to share your progress with the world, these do not seem to be required or automatic. Something I appreciate. =)

The game is in fact a browser based single player RPG with a decidedly Steampunk Piratey slant.

Felicia Day is my heroine!! If I were a famous actress, this is exactly the sort of thing I would want to do. Running around pretending to be a heroic elf, awesome!

And she wrote this!!!

The show is actually really well done and so worth the ten minutes it takes to watch the first three episodes. Watch it and support the awesomeness that is Felicia Day. =)

Week one of Fantasy Football is over and my opponent had the highest score in the league. Its not looking so good for me this year.

(>_<)

Behold my starting line up. For this past weekend anyway. My team is far to mediocre for this line up to remain.

QB – Matt Schaub
WR – Mike Wallace
WR – DeSean Jackson
RB – Chris Johnson
TE – Kellen Winslow
W/R – Maurice Jones-Drew
K – Stephen Gostkowski
DEF – New York
D – Shaun Smith

Weak links currently are Quarter Back, Defensive player and Running Backs. Tight End isn’t so hot either, but its a low scoring position. Don’t think there is anything I can do about QB since all the good ones are taken already.
Time to find new players. Any good ones out there?

The new Mortal Kombat Web Series is already on episode 3!!

So worth watching. Production value is incredible, the way they bring Mortal Kombat into the present day is incredible, plot actually makes sense as do character motivations. All in all, as a Mortal Kombat fan, this is a rare treat!!

My 2010 Fantasy Football season officially came to a close today, as my team was beaten in the first round of the playoffs. Although 116 to 65 looks more like half my team didn’t even bother to show up.

Overall it’s been a terrible football season for my team. We barely made it into the play offs at all.

Ah well, we will learn from our losses and come back next year a stronger, more able, and focused team. GO TEAM! That is if I get a good draft. If I get another crappy draft (like this year!) I’m blaming the Quarterback, or the defense.

It’s never the team owners fault. Never ever ever.

I might think of Facebook as a rather pointless time sink, but it does have some great features, like finding age old friends and keeping track of said friends. But what I enjoy the most is all the random stuff people share. Its a little window into strange and new webstuffs. =)

Sometimes its stuff that’s totally worth sharing.

Totally fun band that does great covers. Awesome!

I completely forgot to mention that its Fantasy Football time again! Actually its almost halfway done. My not posting might have a bit to do with my incredibly bad record this year. My team is currently 2-6. Thats right, two wins and six losses and it doesn’t look to be getting better.

Fantasy Football has just not been going my way this year, though I guess since I won last year, its karma. =)

I would post my roster, but its been in so much flux (due to injuries and suckyness and byes) that I haven’t had the same team for more than two weeks in a row. Oh well.
