Mostly just a vent, don’t read if you don’t want the brunt of my bullshit.
Today, Amazon announced the imminent launch of its newest endeavor, Kindle Worlds, a publishing platform for fanfiction. When I read the announcement, I was horrified, then angry, then sad. I want to take a moment to explain why this is such a tragedy.
tl;dr:
“By using the platform, authors give all rights to the work to Amazon, who can then license your elements to other authors with no compensation to the original poster.”
dont use this
Jesus Christ, this is a horrible, HORRIBLE idea. 8C
I had just bought Brutal Legend, and I was loving every second of it. If people tell you that game wasn’t worth playing, do not listen to them. They do not see epic van murals every time they close their eyes; they do not understand awesomeness; they are terminally deficient in vitamin rock. It’s not perfect, but it is a fantastic experience, and you should be ashamed of yourself if you let a few less than stellar reviews stop you from playing 1980s High School Burnout: The Video Game.
But I digress.
I had just gotten a new super move — one that let me play a guitar solo to bring a flaming zeppelin down on my enemies — but I hadn’t used it yet. I’m no philistine: I don’t cough at the opera, I don’t wear white after Labor Day, and I don’t play my bitchin’ murderous magical guitar solos anywhere but on a lightning-ravaged mountaintop. After driving to the top of the largest, spikiest, most appropriately metal peak I could find, I got out of my hot rod and played the solo. As advertised, a giant burning zeppelin came screeching out of the sky and slammed into the ground, setting the world aflame. The screen inverted from the impact. Random colors spewed out in every direction. The whole image shook and swayed and went to static, then did that old school “powering down” blip. Everything went black. It was perfect.
I thought it was all part of the special effects for the super move.
It was not.
My TV, an old CRT model, had exploded right at the climax of the zeppelin crash. I had to drop $500 on an entirely new television that day, all because of one use of one super move in a single video game — and I wasn’t even mad about it. The timing was just too perfect. That appliance could’ve gone out while watching Judge Judy disapprove of somebody’s baby daddy, but no: It was the Viking funeral of televisions — it died showing me a flaming, screaming blimp explosion while electric guitars wailed on a mountain top. I hope I die half as metal.
EARLY LOOK AT NECA’S UPCOMING TEAM FORTRESS 2 FIGURES
Figures.com has a great inside look at NECA’s Studio and a bunch of their upcoming action figures in early builds and prototypes. Some of those include The Spy and Engineer figures from Valve’s Team Fortress 2.

Got a new wig for my BJD a few weeks ago, finally got her dressed up with it.
It’s a nice change from her usual, she’s very punk/heavy metal usually, so this glam spin is really fun.
Please help, Sandy is a wonderful person and a close friend, I hate to think of her being out on the street. I’ll be donating myself, but any help is good, even if it’s just spreading the word.My name is Rowen Kade. I’m 28 years old and I live in Seattle with my 32 year old, disabled sister, Sandra Lady. And we’re in trouble. It’s hard to ask for help. I’m used to clawing my way through anything on my own and toughing out every bump in the road. In most cases, this means going witho…If you can spare a few bucks to help us out, it would be greatly appreciated.
