Well, since nobody asked: Amazon Affiliate purchases are nice. So are Patreon signups. Or both! Both are good, too.

Interesting. Which in this case is me going ‘I’m not sure how I feel about this.’

The rumours were true: The next BioShock game is officially in the works from Cloud Chamber Studios, a newly established team at 2K Games made of up several developers involved in the making of the original BioShock and both of its sequels. 

Details of what this next BioShock title will look like are scarce but, in a press release announcing the news, President of 2K David Ismailer promised the game would continue in the series’ tradition of “powerful narrative and iconic, first-person shooter gameplay.”

If you already have, and I am being perfectly serious about this, don’t up your pledge. We’re not losing the house or drowning in medical debt or are even in horrible financial shape. In fact: here are links to the Salvation Army and the St. Ann’s Center for Children, Youth and Families, if you are feeling charitable.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way: yeah, it would be awesome if more people signed up for the Patreon, at the dollar level. Not ‘even at the dollar level,’ because every little bit helps. Besides, for a buck you get fiction and gaming material every month, and microfiction every week. And when I hit $200/month, you’ll get a weekly Pulp SF serial! It’s a good deal, so check me out.

Ice-Whales of Labrador

[The Day After Ragnarok]

City: Hopedale, Labrador

Population: 290 (includes about 200 slaves)

Controls: nothing

Government: Machine

Problem: Monsters

Heroic Opportunity: Arcana

City Aspect: Doom-ridden

Everybody in Hopedale died in the Serpentfall tsunami.  Of course, virtually everybody in the coastal parts of Labrador died in the Serpentfall; and since the interior parts of the province were virtually free of human life already, it’s not surprising that what’s left of eastern Canada (centered around the town of Rivière-du-Loup, population 1,795) simply assumes that there’s nothing at all left up there.

I actually got it Saturday, but I forgot to get the mail Saturday. So now I’m listening to THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE now, headphones and all. As always, the DART’s a treat; the HPL Historical Society does good work with these.

But I still want more movies*.

*Yeah, I know, Nick Cage’s making one on this very subject. But I want more HPLHS movies, too. I’m greedy that way.

I think that we were already all aware that I will be watching 6 UNDERGROUND on Friday.

Michael Bay doing an action spy flick starring Ryan Reynolds and it’s on Netflix: yeah, that’s gonna get my attention. I like the premise, too. It’s what Wade Wilson would be doing if he didn’t have cancer and was actually Bruce Wayne. …Well, kinda. You know what I mean.

It’s not exactly what I expected. Note that I had a positive reaction, but it’s still not what I expected.

Got told about this in comments by Constant Reader Aetius451AD. Anyway: interesting. You’ll see why once you watch the trailer. Ach, well, it happens all the dang time in the comic books, too.

Otherwise: heh. I remember 1984: I was a teenager then. Guess they’re aiming at my demographic? If so, I don’t mind. Looks pretty good as a trailer, but I already knew that I was going to see WONDER WOMAN 84 anyway. It’s pretty much a destiny thing.
