A New Direction
Obviously, if Chatty has found a new source of income, we can too. For that reason, we’ve decided to change our coverage a bit here in order to deliver the news that you have been requesting for a long time. Besides, as of today, this industry just isn’t the same. ENWorld now exclusively covers OD&D. The final book of A Song of Fire & Ice is going to be just 87 pages. World of Warcraft is introducing the Bard, most hated of all classes. (Man, WoW is just D&D.) They announced some other stuff too.
And speaking of D&D, WotC has once and for all driven me off as a 4e customer. Gnomes as Robots? This totally screws over my character concept. The changes to D&D Minis are absurd. The errata for 3.5 (which I have to use in my game!) makes no sense. No amount of promotion will save you now, WotC!
Anyway, this is not the game industry I fell in love with. So now I can devote my full attention to my real loves: Canadian Politics and Celebrity Gossip. Below you’ll find a sample of what’s to come, and you should find that the rest of the site will slowly convert to the new style. (Maybe Google can help with that.)
Who does Liberal Leader Stephane Dion think he is, shuffling around the cabinet to move Denis Coderre to anti-censorship? That won’t help in the case against Bill C-10. And the whole thing distracts from the important fight against the immigration bill snuck in before the Easter break by the Tory minority! These continued partisan politics are tearing that country apart.
It's time to move on…
I think many of you saw the signs in the last few days… longer periods between posts, a few personal posts about blogging vs real life and general funkyness.
Well after thinking about it long and hard, I’ve decided that it’s time I moved on to more productive things. So I’m going to start writing guest posts for Internet Marketing and Management Coaching sites. That way, I can start actually getting paid for all that work! I’ve had a few offers lined up to give it a try for a month, if that doesn’t work… I could always start a new religion.
Never fear though, I’m not leaving you alone! I’ve sold the blog to PM and Graham. They decided to take over, using my nascent online popularity to launch a new anime webcomic!
Using the fact that every gamer is also an anime fan, they should have a perfect pre-made fanbase. I am confident they will go far, and they have made me a moderately wealthy man with their offer… well at least I’ll get a Xbox 360 and Rock Band out of those last 6 months of work.
Here’s a preview of their work (Click to enlarge)…
you got to admire the strength of their writing and the finesse of their characterization.
All right, thanks everyone, I had a lot of fun and you were all absolutely fantastic…
P.S.: Don’t ask me to translate… look it up on Babel Fish… it ought to be entertaining…
