My Bio
I'm making a web comic called "Huntresses Attack Monsters ...in 2D!" Check out HAM2D.com to see two barbarian schoolgirls survive and thrive in a generic monster-infested fantasy world.

Favourite Visual Artist
Hard to pick a favorite that's famous, so I'll give props to my brother, "Mr. DNA."
Favourite Movies
The Big Lebowski: voted my #1 fave in 1998, 20 minutes before the movie ended. Still #1.
Favourite TV Shows
Game of Thrones + I have a lot of respect for Rookie Blue because of this line: "Can you do that thing where you zoom in and clean up the image?" / "You know that doesn't really work, right?"
Favourite Bands / Musical Artists
Talking Heads, even though my wife makes fun of Psycho Killer while listening to any other Talking Heads song.
Favourite Books
I'm an English teacher, so I get to cop out and say "too many to list" while you just take my word for it.
Favourite Writers
Same lame excuse as above.
Favourite Games
Secret of Mana is my all-time #1. Anything co-op from the original Mario Bros. to Monster Hunter is on my list.
Favourite Gaming Platform
Nintendo took the most of my money, so they automatically win. To my Dreamcast, which caught fire when I first plugged it in in Hong Kong but kept on ticking for two more years, "R.I.P."
Tools of the Trade
Pen, paper, scanner, Pixen... just ordered a Bamboo Craft to take paper and scanner out of the equation. Paper, scissors and camera, for all that cut-out stuff, plus iMovie for "The First Valentine."
Other Interests
Skiing. Because I can. Not golf. Because I can't.

Thanks a lot for the fav on my samurai girl! :-)
Y' know...Sure would be cool to have a REAVER picture done by the LEGENDARY SIDEKICK...
I'm just sayin'...
HOWWWWSSS it going so far? We haven't heard from you on the Unity boards in a while.

THTs need you!

:la:
Good to hear from you!

I'm doing a lot of writing these days, and I finally sold Monster Hunter for store credit when I went Christmas shopping, as it was hard for me to get in any game time now that the kids are older.

I was very much inspired by the game and the interactions on the Unity board. I've recently written about a character called "Bouldergut, the Barbarian." Just last night, I told other writers where I got the name. (Your drawing of the muscle-gut helped inspire that.)

How are things going for you? Still "hunting?"
Yeah, still kicking it with the old crew... I almost hunt exclusively with Seraphie, Darius, Jer and some other people.

You sold the game!!! :< Awww... but its understandable. I can only play some Fridays, since I work now (its M-Th, lame... not really FT but at least its a job), so I understand.

Bouldergut hahahahah! How's your game development going? I've been thinking of going back to school or just learning off books about graphic design and try my hand at freelancing...
I decided to stick to writing. I ended up winning a (very small) writing contest and stuck around on that writing forum. One of the guys who took part in the contests I've hosted has a decent sense of humor, so we're working on a collaborative project.

The plan is to release an e-book series. The working title is "TUSK: The Ultimate Sidekick." A game would have been fun to make, but writing is my only real talent. I finally had the sense to work with a talent I actually have.

(If I can release "Virgin Cavegirls" as a short story, or use that for a TUSK episode, I will. Or maybe a Bouldergut episode, if I dare to juggle a collaborative project with a solo project.)

On Monster Hunter, a part of me hated to sell the game, but I think I sold it in December and the last time I played was July. The funny thing is that I still want to buy Diablo III. I foresee slow leveling followed by me selling the game before I reach level 60.
