The 23rd of June, in the year of our Lord 2008 | 10:20 pm

Hey! I haven't posted in a month and a half. Let's talk video games.

The new Prince of Persia looks like they lost the parkour in the chaos when a Final Fantasy barfed on it; I hate the movie already.

Grand Theft Auto was so amazingly amazing; I miss it desperately now that it is over. We'll get episodes on the PS3 someday, right? Right? Kudos to Rockstar for telling a reasonably grown-up story. I will probably make a whole post about this later; contain your excitement, if you please.

Our chum Grant loaned us Metal Gear Solid, which is beautiful and engaging even as it makes absolutely no sense and segues into 30+ minute cutscenes... Apparently he's got the jitters even more than I do, and is always asking us how his Snake is doing. While I have a deep, emotional attachment to Niko, and miss his murderous, hangdog face, I think Grant just misses staring at Snake's impeccably rendered butt.

So Foley and I made him a book. I wrote it and did the cover; Foley did everything else.

















(We got this book blank at Muse for like six bucks; it's a guaranteed fun time. Count on us picking up a few more.)

I promise our next collaboration won't be a video game joke. And I promise not to take another month and a half to post!

ANNE OH GOODNESS YOU HAD ME WORRIED

N-no but seriously, I was getting kinda antsy. I was putting serious thought into leaving irritating messages on your roommates' livejournals!

And your and Foley's book is a work of art. I already four friends in mind who absolutely need to read it.

I still have a package sitting on my floor that I need to send to you. >_>

Glad you are still being awesome. I knew Livejournal wasn't as fun as it use to be for some reason... I'll be in Portland in mid-July to see Eddie Izzard. I know I have yet to see you when I have gone there, but maybe this time...

Chase is something like %65 percent through GTA. I think he's trying to get it to last until Brütal Legend comes out.

That book is hella grand, PS.

This is the best book I have ever read over the Internet. Snake is awesome in so many ways, but being able to smoke while wearing oven mitts makes him even more awesomer.

Your book is fantastic.

I am trying to learn to play games. The results so far are comic.

I was just thinking about how you haven't posted in a while!

"Probably off having crazy shenanigans with Foley," I said to myself.

LOOKS LIKE I WAS CORRECT.

We have a PERFECTLY GOOD PS3 to play GTA4 on, but no one has purchased it. "It's too expensive," they all lament. "I WILL PITCH IN TWENTY BUCKS" I offer. Nothing has come of it yet. I may just buy the friggen' game and kick everyone else out of the living room.

First off, y'all win for writing a kids' book about Snake baking a cake.

Second, y'all win for drawing a literal Naked Snake.

Win win win.

I did read this before completion of the game; and I have to say it ruined the momentum of how I'm going to finish this game. I'm only beginning the 3rd and all the loose knots slowly unravel and everything makes sense.

Nonetheless, it's a masterpiece and looks amazing.

About PoP: Wow. I remember when there was no magic in those games, then again I was sitting on my father's lap while he played because I must've been about four. That was when I couldn't get past the first five screens because I couldn't get the jumping down or the ability to hang onto an edge and drop down without losing points... those were the days.
