Today's Report:
- 08:16 Happy Father's Day, everyone. #
- 09:17 @RantzHoseley Break a leg with Longbox, Rantz. #
- 12:27 @BeaucoupKevin I dunno, a joke between me and @tomselleck69 on AIM became THERE IS A LIGHT.... #
- 12:28 Why are they playing Brazil v. Italy AND USA v. Egypt AT THE SAME TIME? Grgh. Hulk hate flipping channels between games. #
- 12:31 Ah, the Generation Gap. Because of a videogame commercial I just had to verbalize the sheer greatess of GHOSTBUSTERS to my daughter. Uh boy. #
- 12:34 @Mr_Kimbalicious It's still a pain in the ass flipping between ESPN and ESPN2. :-P #
- 12:35 @joshhechinger Oh yeah, it does. More the point of, having to tell her how cool this movie from the 80s they just made a game of was. #
- 12:37 @Papaverine Isn't there a way to lower/remove the privacy settings on that set's profile? #
- 12:44 @markclapham And by Rorschach you mean "Travis Bickle" :-P #
- 12:47 @Goblin_Queen All ages I'd say, since this commercial was on Nickelodeon. #
- 12:49 Spent part of the morning writing up some more character sketches for a project I'm doing. One of them may only be mentioned, not seen. #
- 12:50 See, latest thing I'm concentrating on is a pitch for @zudacomics. In theory, assuming it gets accepted AND wins the competition, it'll.... #
- 12:51 ....be a continuing thing of finite yet undetermined length. So need to build up a cast of characters? Now wait, didn't I say "start small?" #
- 12:53 Yeah, I sure did! Because even tho I have plans for this, all that myself and the Artist is on the hook for with @zudacomics is 8 pages. ... #
- 12:53 (Well, "would be on the hook for," rather) #
- 12:55 So yeah, don't have an epic out the gate, but if you want to do a continuing thing, plan ahead. BUT, what seemed to get this artist..... #
- 12:55 ....interested in working on it (unpaid, I might add) was the fact it was only 8 pages. Plan ahead, but start small. #
- 13:00 @markclapham Oh I know, but it was a bit of a revelation the first time I saw TAXI DRIVER.... ;-) #
- 13:02 One thing to keep in mind when Planning Ahead But Starting Small: set up the most basic needed info in the first 8 or so pages. #
- 13:02 You never know, this might be your only printed/posted episode of your epic ever. Put all needed info as to what the series is ABOUT in..... #
- 13:03 ....those pages. Write it so the reader will want and demand more, but if that's it, at least you got your concept out there. I think I..... #
- 13:04 ...did that with the one and only episode of THE GRAVE that was ever done, as to whether or not it was successful is another story. #
- 13:04 (And besides, the problems and mistakes with trying to do THE GRAVE are another story entirely) #
- 13:05 A good article to look at about set-up of your concept: tinyurl.com/pvn93h It's even written with @zudacomics specifically in mind. #
- 13:10 GUYS. Thee game-changer for Digital Comics is here: @RantzHoseley's Longbox -- "iTunes for Comics" bit.ly/dQUnS #
- 13:19 @markclapham The World + Fantomex + Noh-Varr = INSTANT WINNER #
- 13:21 @jasonaaron has a Dark Reign: The List contribution that features a bunch of Grant Morrison concepts in it FTFW: tinyurl.com/mr6zrm #
- 13:24 @markclapham I'd say @JHickman would do wonders with the stuff as well. But yeah, @jasonaaron is great too. #
- 13:28 RT @arthurwyatt @gdwessel heh. 8 pages for set up?luxury! -- OK, @arthurwyatt also writes for 2000AD, which only gives you 5 pages. True. #
- 13:28 @Midgetqueen To be fair, that was a RT. #
- 13:29 @arthurwyatt OK, but you also have to work with the format that you are given, for better or for worse. :-P #
- 13:32 @khuxford Like I told @markclapham, The World + Fantomex + Noh-Varr = INSTANT WIN. #
- 13:41 RT @Midgetqueen I have to go get ready for Indianapolis protest. (4pm Monument Circle!) [...] #
- 13:42 @arthurwyatt Yeah you get locked in to a certain format after so long... You working on a longer-form work then? #
- 14:00 @arthurwyatt Awesome. Lemme know how that's going, or if you need someone to take a proofread #
- 14:05 Fact: The USA has almost no chance of going through at this point.Thanks Bob Bradley! #
- 14:12 "The first two games didn't go our way." OH YA THINK? #
- 14:14 Brad Guzan in, Tim Howard out. Yeah that's the way to GIVE UP. @firebobbradley - it's not just a Twitter account, it's a statement of fact. #
- 14:52 A clusterfuck in the Egypt goalmouth leads to a Davies GOAL! USA 1 - 0 Egypt #
- 14:59 Ohhhh damn, Donovan ALMOST got one in. #
- 15:54 2-0 USA now. Since Brazil's up 3-0... my GOD, we MIGHT go through after all! #
- 15:55 @RantzHoseley Can't wait. Congrats, you've got something here. #
- 16:01 OMG! OMG! OMG! 3-0! 3-0! This could be it! #
- 16:03 This will be the most nailbiting 18 minutes since the Super Bowl. #
- 16:09 RT @xenijardin: Confirming Neda's death tinyurl.com/makudr #IranElection #
- 16:09 @kellysue My God. #
- 16:21 Tom Freakin' Spurgeon is now on Twitter. @comicsreporter is the name. #
- 16:24 OMFG WE DID IT. We're through! .... Course we'll probably lose to Spain, but STILL! #
- 16:36 Off to the bar now.... #
