It Looks Like a New Bladencast Could Be Just What the Doctor Orders
Hey, even if Brian doesn’t have the net up yet, I was thinking that he could probably do it here next time he comes over. I’m going to talk to him and see if he can come over to my place this week. I picked up this awesome computer mic and he could probably do the whole thing from the here, especially with that datastick of his he’s been bringing to all of our places whenever he knows he’ll get access to a computer with the internet.

I think a new cast could breathe some new life into this place. Also, it’ll probably be the last Bladen Cast per se, as I’ll be leaving town next week. I’m sure Brian will do more podcasts in the future, and probably work on some new feature with Mason and maybe you, Gene, but as he and I have discussed, my leaving will be the end of the Bladen Cast itself specifically. So I’m going to try to get him over here this week so we can do one last one, to really rejuvenate the site and leave you the place with a high traffic rate before I skip town.

Coyote needs to stop using Bladen Force as a personal blog… That’s what Xanga and MySpace are for… they are free, and serve the only purpose of being blogs and advertisements on the personal life of the user… Just for your knowledge Coyote… Both Brian and Mason said something about you using it as such.

I’m over at Gene’s and updating. Hooray. I have a good hour and thirty minutes worth of Halo 1 with me, Mason, Gene and Chris blasting the crap out of each other. I may upload that to the site later, when I do get the internet sometime. The hard part is convincing Bellsouth that we actually have a Bellsouth box out front, which we do. Catch you on the flip side.

Er…What he said.
Yes, Jazon has not reacquired the internet quite yet, but I have spoken with him and I can assure you the state of our comic is strong. All the cool things we’ve concocted but have yet to implement have been planned out in their chronological order. New pages are being worked on as we speak. And so forth. So tell your friends, were the Bladen force. Wiki wiki wa.

Everything Keeps Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
Well I’ve kicked my gaming addiction, avoided any big fights with my parents, and my life seems back on track, that track being concurrent with the road to oblivion, but that’s just picking nits. Anyways, I’m off any stupid kicks towards one thing or another, and not really enthusiastic about any of my own projects, so if any of you fellow BForcers want help with an idea or just want to talk, I have shitloads of free time.

And yes, I know this is kind of personal, but the news blog portion of the site has a rich history in obscure personal comments, as one can tell with the posts historical of Jazon.

Addicted to Kingdom of Loathing
Yes, for the past few days, in between viciously parodying it with a Bladenforce shine, I have been obsessively playing KoL. Each day when I run out of turns I feel the symptoms of withdrawal, and each night when i get new turns i use them all at once and then pass out, all strung out. Kingdom of Loathing is like heroin. It decreases your libido, makes you constipated, and is DELICIOUS.

A Little Thing Called BladenQuest
As soon as Jazon gets net back, scans the images, and uploads them, you will see the fruits of my labors (mmm…labor fruit): the collection of hundreds of poorly drawn images that will become the Bladen Force’s own adventure game that’s totally not ripping of Kingdom of Loathing. Totally.

With such classes as the carpslapping Kenolite, monsters like the Panicked Disco, and hobbies such as Fishmining and House Farming, it will truly be a sight to be seen.

And if we never get around to actually coding the game, the images will still be funny (and we could make it into a click an option at the bottom of the page sort of choose your own adventure game).

No, I am not dead yet.. again, despite your attempts otherwise. Though, I lost a few hearts and had to eat a fairy, aside from that, I’m still perfectly functional, despite my breath smelling strangely like peppermint. So, I’m over at Coyote’s house and updating a few things. I changed the forums because we’ve got spam bots roaming around, probably not related to Coy’s little thing on the CAD Forums, but still. I’ve set it so only admins can approve accounts, but since we barely have any users, it doesn’t really matter does it? Coyote’s going to talk about some crap later, and I’ll be posting a few random images from our idea, which is not a copyright infringement I assure you, though, it kind of borderlines it. Back to the CAD thing, I heard about it secondhand from Coyote, and I suspect he was drunk when it happened, but it was by far one of the most hilarious things I have ever heard. Though I normally disapprove of such acts of forum hijinx, I think “Iron Tim” had it coming. From what I’ve heard, he seems to crush his forums and users in his angsty white boy hands, deleting any topic that has any semblance of insulting him, banning any user for no particular reason, regularly partaking in the act of banning every single user, threatening to sue one of his own fans for making a stupid video based on his comics for fun, and slaying his WoW guild over a perceived insult that never actually happened, as well as showing utter contempt for his fellow webcomicers, including the venerable Scott Kurtz. Like I said before, he had it coming, though I don’t neccessarily approve of this sort of thing. Coyote gets off his leash sometimes and destroys downtown Tokyo. I have no control over him. He is a humanoid typhoon of the internet, with destruction following in his wake.

Oh, and now for some good news, I will be getting the interweb back sometime in the next two days, and I will officially be back.
