  • I’m from DC, and I flipped once because a ball of lightning about 14" around “flew” through our place. Went through a bookshelf, hit a corner, followed the other wall and disappeared through it. Various people saw it, I watched as they all watched it. I think the brain is funny though, cause I seem to be the only one who remembers it. I just figured DC is weird as fuck, and it’s one of the DC has some spoopy shit going on type of things. When I was younger, I used to crawl through The Capital at night going through it’s underbelly and such. Was always so “electric” feeling. Rooms never felt truly empty, even if you went into one lined with ten pounds of fabric and doors that could smash you dead. Sometimes, DC feels like the Bermuda Triangle in my head. It’s different nowadays, but it still holds that image.


  • I have a friend who teaches children art. If it wasn’t so late, I would ask him for some pointers. I think though, he just plays with them pretty much. As in, he’s okay doing goofy things with kids like making a noise and having them match it or things like that. When you get people (kids, etc.) open to playing with you, I think it allows people to open up more which can be good for creativity. I would suggest looking into Lynda Barry books, especially Syllabus. There’s also a comic book artist she recommends in the book but I can’t find his name. He has a very creative exercise in which you take a series of note cards and draw a comic a panel a card and shift them around until they assemble the story you’d like. I suppose just looking into drawing games as a whole will probably assist. I myself like to put a series of shapes on whatever I am working on and turn them into whatever I see from them. Either way, sounds like you’re doing some good. So good on you =)



  • Legend of Mana is an amazing game. It’s a game that showed me that nostalgia isn’t just about the game but the people with whom you spent playing the game with. I tried playing it again when I got my V10. I thought, this is a wonderful game. It’s got a great soundtrack, great spritework. I love these characters. I love making the map. Only catch is it’s just me putzing around here. and I really miss playing this with someone else. I saw they remastered it, but there’s really no point on account of what I said. It’s truly a lovely game though.
