OK, so. The Eggs and I have gotten together and we are going to be doing a cartoon short. If you would like to be part of this epic production, here’s your chance.

Mostly, we’re looking for crowd noise and we need some more variation in voices. So record yourself saying some of these things, email them to egg@ (the domain name):

1. A horrified crowd member: “Oh, no!” “Help us!” “Won’t someone save us?” or the like.

2. A grateful crowd member: “Yay!” “Yes” “You saved us!” “Awesome!” or the like.

3. Someone saying: “Look out! He’s jaywalking!” or the like.

No, the Eggs will not be saving a jaywalker from being hit by a car (or hitting the jaywalker).

Click on the picture to get there! The illustrations for the story weren’t done in Paint. No way.

As my plans to start up the Mascot Sports Network have begun, I’ve been watching the Worldwide Leader to check out their secrets.

Lesson 1: Use “momentum” as a tautologous, more analytic term for “having won the last game”.

Example:

“The Texas Rangers just won Game 2 of the World Series” is not very insightful.

“The Texas Rangers have the momentum going into Game 3″ is also not very insightful, but sounds much more analytical.

We will get back in the swing of things soon. I have been very busy and have moved from Houston to Alabama.

: Is this the part where I get to mock Red Sox fans?

: Uh, sure.

Even mundane supermarkets can contain invaluable gems:

Yes, you’re reading that correctly. This brand of beer is called “Hebrew: the Chosen Beer”. I would have tried to ascertain the difference between “Messiah Bold” and “Genesis Ale” if I were a beer drinker.

Yeah, so I have to admit it. Even though everyone knows that I, the Mascot, is incredibly non-nerdy, there’s one part of me that’s…kinda nerdy.

I always wanted to star in an old-school style RPG. It would have a kick-butt name like “The Secret of Breakfast”:

And since it’s “old-school”, the graphics could use only 4 colors, like those old CGA monitors:

And you’d encounter a variety of dastardly enemies, like Goblins, Ogres, or Bagels:

You could even switch between Palette #1 (black, white, cyan, magenta) and Palette #2 (black, yellow, green, red) if you wanted some variety:

But, this would be way too awesome and the world doesn’t deserve an experience like that.

Blizzard announced the Diablo 3 beta today. Exciting, but not the biggest deal in the world. But take a note of this:

This is from the Auction House. You can sell items for either in-game money or actual U.S. dollars.

In World of Warcraft, I made a crap-ton of (fake) money via the Auction House system by taking advantage of people who weren’t so good at knowing the real value of stuff (or were willing to sacrifice more money for quick money).

While I may end up making a little bit of spending money, there are a few reasons why I won’t expect to turn much of a profit:

1. Professionals will surely abound. It won’t be like dealing with mostly amateurs on a WoW server.

2. It could be more difficult to gauge the fair market value. In WoW, almost items were like Copper Ore. A piece of ore is always a piece of ore, and it was fairly easy to determine the market value.

   In Diablo 3, most equipment has randomly generated statistics. How valuable is this Double Axe with increased attack speed and lifesteal versus this other Double Axe with stat bonuses and increased damage? It can be more subjective. Buy and repost will be tougher.

3. If most people are like me, they will never bother spending real money on a fake weapon or ring.

4. I play games for FUN first. An awesome item will only be sold if I or a friend has no use for it!

It’s been over a year since the first “Corridors & Creatures” comic strip. We never did anything with it.

After being introduced to Elf Only Inn, we have been re-inspired to continue. We’re thinking of making this a weekly or so feature. The first comic has been republished here for your convenience (seeing as you probably completely forgot what happened).

And of course, you have to click on the pictures to embiggen them.

Currently, I’m in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This is home of the University of Alabama Crimson Tide.

A few days ago, I was listening to news radio. The sports headline for the hour? Auburn University was nominated for 5 ESPY’s. They didn’t win any. This was mentioned twice.

Well, I’ll get around to blogging for reals shortly.

Every so often, I will get around to recommending a non-professional game that I found fun. Marvin the Hat Explorerer was not innovative and has terrible graphics. But it was fun!

(You could play Plinge, but it’s not nearly as good…)

Also, thanks to Windows Movie Maker, I was able to make a simple trailer for Eggs vs. Humans. In a few days, I will attempt to trick someone into paying me a few bucks for it. Yay!
