"Cobra's got the MacGuffin device!"

Cartoon Network showed my all time favorite episode of G.I. Joe this Saturday. I guess it's just a writer thing. Speaking of writing, this past weekend did wonders for me in terms of inspiration. Although Wizard World is mainly for print comics, I managed to pick up some new techniques to play around with. But the main source of encouragement I got was from a chance to talk with Barbara Kesel, the head writer at Crossgen Comics (and also the writer of one of my all-time favorite comics, Meridian). After reading through what we have so far for Eidolic Fringe (and even recognizing what "eidolic" means), she points out a handfull of spelling mistakes and minor grammatical errors, but tells me that there's really nothing she can find that's seriously wrong with the story. She even congratulates us on our work!

Lately, I had been feeling a little unsure as to a lot of things about the comic, but I think this weekend gave me just what I needed in terms of motivation. It got me excited about telling stories again, and that's really what all this is about for me.

So, it's been like a month since I wrote anything. I am boring. I can't help it. And I just don't want to do anything. It might be because I cut my sugar intake by serious amounts. I used to eat chocolate and drink at least two sodas every day. Now, I've cut back to eating any kind of sweets and soda to one day a week. Waaaaa. Anyway, while normally I have very little I want to talk about, this time I actually have one thing that I want to go on about: videogames, my favorite thing in the world! (Sounds like a good place to break into song, yes?)

Mainly, I'm very excited about E3 which starts on Tuesday. I wish I could be a coffee server at a video game developer just so I could qualify to go as an industry professional. But alas, I can only read about it. There are a lot of great games slated for the latter half of the year (and it's been a great year already) but with E3 coming up, I'm especially excited about the games that we've heard little or nothing about. The titles I'm really looking forward to are Legacy of Kain: Defiance, Castlevania for the PS2, and Metal Gear 3. Admittedly however, there is one thing I'm hoping to see more than anything, though I think there's a slim chance that it'll actually happen. I'm hoping that SquareEnix will do a surprise revealing of Kingdom Hearts 2. Square has, in the past, slipped little hints into their presentations of things to come. Chances are it's still just too early, but video game developers do like their showmanship, so I guess we'll have to wait and see. But if and when they make a sequel, and it's something like what the secret ending was like in the first game, I'd be so happy that...well, I dunno. I'd have to do a happy little dance or something.
