: Do you have any idea where he's going these days? I mean
: if he's closing out JLA and the Invisibles at the same
: time, he must be planning something new. And Warren
: just quit The Authority...and Garth is wrapping up
: Preacher...hmm...what's going on with The Big Three?

The general feeling seems to be that the big movement in comics away from superheroes is over--even Alan Moore is back to fluff stories about guys in tights--and so all the big "Vertigo" writers (for lack of a better term) are getting while the going is good, though there are a few others who are willing to jump in and take their places (sadly, this new crop hasn't shown a lot of quality yet, but I suppose we can give them time). Grant Morrison has quit comics, this from an actual press release, though he has a history of lying to the press and he's claimed he was going to quit several times before. As a kind of last joke he's going to have one project out this summer called "Marvel Boy" for yes, everybody's least favorite comics company, and then he's supposedly going to travel around the world for a while and work on screenplays. It's a sad day in comics, if it's true.

: I'd love to. I must point out that my testing style
: matches the rest of me--I'll spend lots and lots of
: time looking at the flavors, the narration, and the
: unit characteristics, and not so much on quality of
: gameplay. But yes, I'd certainly like to be one of the
: testers.

That's perfect! I have a bunch of other people lined up to obsessively search for glitches, but in my scenario I wanted to make the text and the story equally important as the gameplay, so you're just what I'm looking for.

: I'm fine with downloading--if you can give me a URL I can
: get it at work in a few minutes. But I can do Hotline
: or FTP too.

I'm still looking into geocities and if I put it on the Creation server it will become public domain, so for the moment my plan is to send cd's out by snail mail. Email me with your RL address (naraoia@earthlink.net) and I will get it out to you.

: Blunder? I'm afraid I didn't even notice. Clarification,
: please? Then, once I understand, I can laugh at you.

You want me to set myself up? How foolish do you think I am? I'm still smarting from the last time you punctured one of my underthought and overwrought announcements. ;-)
