Hello again!

So, wee while since my last post but I've not abandoned this yet! And I've come with news and shiny things to show you.

First up is this short but very sweet text based game: Hulk<3Fabio
Made by Nina Freeman and Teddy Diefenbach, you write the love story between Fabio and Hulk Hogan -with a little help from the Hoff- who have fallen into a rocky patch of their relationship. Although completely fictitious it is a cute story that I'll admit, did have me flailing and excitedly squeaking at points. And if that wasn't enough to get you interested in checking it out, I'd suggest just playing it once to hear Big Giant Circles' cover of 'Hooked on a Feeling' (a cover of the Hasselhoff cover by the by), just don't rush through the text, as that can cut the track off. Although the song does loop but it's pretty easy to tell when the loop comes in so you're not going to spend an hour waiting on the one page for the track to finish. I just spent an hour on the page cause I liked the cover.

Secondly, I'm going to direct your attention to this bandcamp page: Proleter
Proleter does some amazing electro-swing tunes, the first one I'd heard being April Showers, off of the Curses from Past Times Ep , in a youtube video. Thankfully, Proleter was linked in the description and I spent the rest of my afternoon consuming whatever I could get away with sneaking in during my work day, which was actually quite a lot. It's something that's a little different to listen to. And as a bonus, most of the downloads on the page seem to be under a pay what you want costing bracket, meaning that if you really wanted to, you could download these for free. Madness.

Lastly, I want to talk about next month as I'm kicking about the idea of trying out for NaNoWriMo this year. NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, it's been going for a good couple of years now, and it's aim is to get people writing lots. And by lots I mean 50,000 words in a month. Their belief is quantity over quality, with the idea that you can always edit later. It's an interesting theory to me, as I never really have trouble coming up with ideas or getting started- it's actually finishing a project that I have trouble with. However, like a surprising amount of people, I tend to do my best work under pressure, so having the goal of writing 50,000 words in a month is something that I may be able to actually accomplish. Whether or not it makes any coherent sense is a totally different story, but that's not what NaNoWriMo is asking for, and- if by the end of that month I'm not totally sick of my own story- I could totally edit it later. I have an idea and I'm using this time to research and plot the story, but it's still fairly early in October, I might chicken out of the idea.
It won't be a love story between Hulk Hogan and Fabio. That requires proper attention.

Maybe next year.

Let me know if you think I should go in for NaNo, let me know if you like the Proleter tunes, or let me know if you tried the Hulk<3Fabio game- and whether or not you hate me or love me for showing you it! I'm on Twitter as always, now also on Facebook periodically (not enough to be bothered trying to link it), on Steam even less these days, I've actually been playing the 3DS a lot this past month. Well, that and watching a metric shit-ton of Hat Films to the point where I think I may actually have a problem. But that's an issue for another post. Good day.
