There’s also the interesting implicit evidence that a virtual reality game wouldn’t really need to be that complex after all to make a person unaware of their body.

Hmm
I need to blog more real things in here.
Lately I’ve been updating my website and switching it over to a more blog-friendly format. As such I’m going to scrap my custom (read: shitty) dreamweaver skillz and just redirect to wordpress which I’ve had for a long time, but stopped updating. Now, I’m theoretically able to update Tumblr with my press posts…. Maybe I...

Feeling kind of... eh...
Listening to just about anything in my music library is somehow far too poignant.
I need to go read A Storm of Swords. I haven’t read the series before. I don’t think anything ever makes me as immersed in something fictional as the first read-through of a new fantasy series that I enjoy, and this one is so much it. Each character, such an archetype, and yet so interesting; each...

The Gunslingers' Mantra
terribletriplefeatures:
I do not aim with my hand; He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand; He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun; He who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father. I kill with my heart.
This, and the mantra from...

Attention people under 21:
I almost never think anything you are ROFLING and LOLOMGWTF and IM CRYING and IM SHAKING at is even worth a smile. Sample of my face on tumblr- :|
