The Golden Apocalypse

Sorry the post is late. I was without internet since Friday, and it was a miracle I got Monday's post up.

I have the perfect title for any movie/book/game/etc. The Golden Apocalypse could stand alone, or be part of known series. For example:

I am Legend: The Golden Apocalypse
National Treasure: The Golden Apocalypse
War of the Worlds: The Golden Apocalypse
The Legend of Zelda: The Golden Apocalypse
Clifford the Big Red Dog: The Golden Apocalypse
(Using my Pokeversion would be ideal) Pokémon: The Golden Apocalypse
Harry Potter: The Golden Apocalypse
Star Wars: The Golden Apocalypse
The Golden Apocalypse
The Golden Apocalypse 2: The Golden Apocalypse

If you’re struggling to make a movie known please contact me and we can negotiate sale of my intellectual property.

This Ain't Your Kid's Pokemon.

• Imagine waking up one morning to find a mouse has built a nest in your medicine cabinet. Now imagine waking up to a feral mouse a foot tall shooting off lightning in your room.




• Imagine walking through a forest when you suddenly feel the ground shudder as the very trees in front of you fall before a ten foot Venusaur. You know running is futile but attempt it anyhow, only running a few feet before a vine as thick as a large sapling wraps around you and bashes you against the ground. You bleed heavily, but remain concious as it brings you to it's mouth and swallows you.




• Imagine walking through a swamp when the slime suddenly quivers beneath you and begins to rise, surronding you. You struggle helplessly against it, only to find that your limbs are firmly glued to your body. The Muk finishes enveloping you and then lays down to digest.




• Imagine riding a burning steed alongside a river where eight foot Dratini(s?) jump in the sparkling waters.

To save the franchise it must be a hollywood movie, directed by the best (that means not George Lucas. Have you seen the new movie previews?) made in live-action with a HUGE special effects budget. It needs an original storyline without the old beloved characters. It needs action and danger at levels around pg-13. Most importantly pokemon need to be humongous monsters with little or no thinking ability.

Dredged from the dark depths of my mind.

This is how I see everything. Through The Veil of Evil.

5 minute writing

He sat in his cellar at the typewriter, afraid to stay any longer, but far more afraid of leaving. He had brought this to the world and it was his job to document it for everyone’s sake. A roar shook the foundations of his house and a sulfurous stench escaped beneath the rowan door at the far end of the room. He shuddered. It couldn’t be long now. He typed rapidly, and his fingers caused a constant clicking that became the background to the piercing screeches that echoed about the room. He glanced up and involuntarily flinched as yet another shielding sigil on the door flickered and failed. Merely one remained. One spot of magick against an onrushing wave of Darkness. He gulped, and turned back to his work. As he wrote he murmured prayers to the gods, whom he had blasphemed with his works. He knew it was too late for the world. But perhaps his soul could be redeemed. He lost sight of the keys as the light of the final sigil dimmed and died. The pounding that had echoed for the past seven hours and six minutes had ended. Now darkness streamed through the closed door. Its chill reached him before it had crossed half the room. He was far too terrified to move. He opened his mouth to scream, but the Darkness reached him and began to pour inside. He gagged and choked as it streamed into his lungs and stomach. He tried time and again to scream as it burst through his ears into his skull. He fell to the ground writhing as the evil within him began to absorb all his liquids. It poured out of him and ventured upwards to the rest of the unsuspecting earth. In the cellar a withered husk lay on the ground, its skin stretched tight over its bones, mouth forever opened in a silent scream.

I'm back.

I'm going to try to blog for an extended period again. No promises.

Random Thoughts VI

In the Legend of Zelda game series, why does everyone think Link always wins? Sure he 'defeats' Ganon(dorf) but he dies later at an unspecified point and must be reincarnated, whereas Ganon just escapes and tries again. Zelda also dies. If this always happens, shouldn't it follow that Ganon will always return, but Link will one day fail to appear. If the Goddesses don't intervene soon enough, e.g. Windwaker, then with the Triforce he could achieve the powers of a god himself. Therefore, Ganon has yet to lose. Except in Windwaker, Zelda II, and Twilight Princess... but there are about a million ways for them to get him to return. Seriously, do they think we like Vaati? Or Majora? Or that Squid of Doom, Bellum? Or Onyx? Or Veran? Or the Nightmares? ... Maybe killing Tingle would be fun for a while.

Unknown to Reogan

I need some suggestion of video games and characters from video games to get reogan into, I feel he needs to broaden his horizens and I get the feeling he'd like the G Man from Half-Life, for reogan see this video as an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk8IdP-upKY

My bookshelf at a glance.

Yes, I'm sure you're wondering what my bookshelf looks like. The picture below is probably what most of you would imagine.

(No, I am not mentally ill. Much.)

But the amount of blood upon ones bookshelf is not representative of its value. No, that lies in the tomes upon it. On my bookshelf I have a shelf organization system that works as follows;

1. 
   
   
   
   Books I absolutely cannot live without.




2. 
   
   
   
   Long series I absolutely cannot live without.




3. 
   
   
   
   Books that would cause me to become comatose if I lost.




4. 
   
   
   
   Good books.




5. Everything else. Books I'll read every few years or less.

My top shelf is also like a 'featured authors' section. This consists of my favorite authors. Tamora Pierce, Jonathan Stroud, Garth Nix, et cetera, and a few 'filler' books. I have some old favorites from my childhood on the second shelf like Deltora Quest, and Redwall. As is evident I have a deep love for fantasy, and the more 'dark' books. Speaking of Dark, I have half a shelf devoted to Poe. In my opinion his poetry was only bested by Dickinson's. I do not, repeat, DO NOT read sci-fi. I am Met's equal opposite in the realms of literature. (Except for Deltora Quest. We both used to love those.)

Return

If Reogan starts posting, so do I. April is Support OCR Month, sorry I missed it, thread is located at http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15544.

Ahhhh, Spring... *Vomit*

Ahhh, yes. It's that time of the year again. The children are finishing school to be released on our helpless world, the elder students are attempting to study a school year's worth of material in a few hours, parents and grandparents once again assert their belief that spring cleaning is good for the soul, and deer begin to eat expensive and recently potted plants.

Isn't spring glorious?

Don't you just love how people insist they love the season, due to their preconceived notions, and none of them realize that they're doing nothing but more work than ever before? Such is the perverted nature of humankind. As long as no one expects help I'll live. In related news; buildings ruined by the harsh winter are leaking. Yay spring... Hurricane season is starting. Yay... spring... rabid squirrel attacks are beginning. Yay! Spring!

Finally, I need more to post about than how everything is annoying. Ideas are welcome.

Finally-er, I will attempt to resume my nearly consistent daily posting.

Observing The Nation

The United State of America has an intresting history. I can't help but wonder what people in other countries say about us in priviate conversations, or what people will say 100 years from now (assuming the world lasts that long). What will we be viewed as, when we analyze history we can conclude that the cause of an event might have been some little thing at the time, but it triggered a massive effect later on. What will people see us as in history? What do other nations see this nation as being right now? Again this is partailly based off a thread that orginated from www.ocremix.org called Our Place in History, but it kind of turned into an offtopic discussion about the writers strike. This is ment to provoke new discussion on the topic, let's hear it.
