Etrian Odyssey IV demo is up on the 3DS eShop. I am unreasonably excited.

And now I’m back in Canada. That was a short break.

Going home from university tomorrow! I missed you, Oregon.

So, I haven’t been doing much lately. That’s largely on account of having just moved to college! It’s pretty cool and new and exciting and stuff, but I expect I’ll be on hiatus for a while longer while I get used to it. Stalemate will still get done, though.

A Real Bargain

So today I opened up a 5-piece baggage set that I bought at Walmart (and perhaps going to Walmart was my first mistake). Suitcase the size of a small horse, check. Equally enormous duffel bag, check. Fried chicken…check?

To my horror, I discovered that festering at the bottom of the suitcase was a bag of fried chicken from Walmart’s deli, dating back to December 2011 no less. The grease had soaked through months ago while the crumbs were scattered across the bottom like breaded lice.

Why would you even do that?

Finally wrote a song where one instrument just plays the B-flat scale. I give up.

EDIT: And now the chromatic scale’s in there too. It’s like some insane mixture of circus music and rock.

Playtesting board games against yourself is really fun, but kind of depressing…

25 Followers Givestravaganza

Whoo! Just hit 25 followers, largely thanks to the fantastic Double Joe Seven. It’s a cool milestone and as mentioned a while back, this calls for a celebratory giveaway.

The rules are simple.

• You can like and/or reblog this once to enter.
• It doesn’t matter how often you do it. You’ll have the same odds.
• You don’t have to be following me either.

At the start of July, I’ll pick 2 winners through cryptic and arcane dice rolls. Those lucky individuals can pick one of the following prizes each:

• Musical composition. You give the prompt and I’ll make it. It can be fanmusic, a remix, original, etc. The style’s up to you if you specify, but I’ll mention ahead of time that I don’t have much in the way of brass instruments.
• Board game. Describe a basic premise for it (a game about lawyers, a space colonization game, etc.) and I’ll create a print-and-play game based on that. I have a couple examples of my work to look at.

And that’s the gist of it. Thanks to all for following, and if you have a question, my ask box is open.

Some Ramblings

Just finished off Homestuck Volume 9, and it is everything I ever imagined it would be. Between Austin, Atlantis, Noirscape, Requited, Another Jungle, Game Grl, Busting Makes Me Fee Good, Dogfight, Encore, and really a bunch more, everyone ought to go listen to it.

Also, in case anyone missed hearing about it, Land of Fans and Music II is in the works. It needs some art contributions still, so artists should go check it out! Sburban Genesis will be in it as well, so this is all quite exciting.

And with Volume 9 having just been released, it’s probably a bad time to mention that I’ve uploaded 5 more tracks to Yggdrasil Quest, but I’ll mention it anyway. If you like chiptunes and soundtracks, it might be an interesting listen for you.

That’s all for now. Thanks to my new followers for joining on! When I hit 25, I am considering doing a celebratory giveaway like I’ve seen others doing. It ought to be a fun time.
