Good to hear from you!

I'm doing a lot of writing these days, and I finally sold Monster Hunter for store credit when I went Christmas shopping, as it was hard for me to get in any game time now that the kids are older.

I was very much inspired by the game and the interactions on the Unity board. I've recently written about a character called "Bouldergut, the Barbarian." Just last night, I told other writers where I got the name. (Your drawing of the muscle-gut helped inspire that.)

How are things going for you? Still "hunting?"

Yeah, still kicking it with the old crew... I almost hunt exclusively with Seraphie, Darius, Jer and some other people.

You sold the game!!! :< Awww... but its understandable. I can only play some Fridays, since I work now (its M-Th, lame... not really FT but at least its a job), so I understand.

Bouldergut hahahahah! How's your game development going? I've been thinking of going back to school or just learning off books about graphic design and try my hand at freelancing...

I decided to stick to writing. I ended up winning a (very small) writing contest and stuck around on that writing forum. One of the guys who took part in the contests I've hosted has a decent sense of humor, so we're working on a collaborative project.

The plan is to release an e-book series. The working title is "TUSK: The Ultimate Sidekick." A game would have been fun to make, but writing is my only real talent. I finally had the sense to work with a talent I actually have.

(If I can release "Virgin Cavegirls" as a short story, or use that for a TUSK episode, I will. Or maybe a Bouldergut episode, if I dare to juggle a collaborative project with a solo project.)

On Monster Hunter, a part of me hated to sell the game, but I think I sold it in December and the last time I played was July. The funny thing is that I still want to buy Diablo III. I foresee slow leveling followed by me selling the game before I reach level 60.

Make sure you release it for the NOOK! I'll be the first to buy it! <3 (And shamelessly plug it on Unity)

Its great when you really, really find something that just clicks for you... I hope to be able to get to that point someday ^_^

If you have time, do you think I can draw some comic strips of any shorts you have? I'm trying to expand my portfolio. I already have a campaign on my facebook asking my friends for requests.

I'd be honored, if that's something you'd like to do!

Here are a few you can choose from:

[link] < The story behind the name "Legendary Sidekick" (TUSK)
[link] < A Christmas-themed episode (TUSK)
[link] < A Year of the Dragon episode (Bouldergut)
[link] [link] [link] [link] [link] [link]

(Bouldergut became an instant hit here)

Thank you! I'll be having a bit of time... I won't be able to get to work any time soon because my car just got stolen.

._.

I'll read these and see what I'll be able to do!

Good to know. And the car's fine, I take it.

I'm working on an e-book. It will take a while, but I'm having fun writing it.

Yeah, a few dents and scuffs. They poured something in the transmission fluid reservoir, but other than that, it was fine.

I just had to get it from the towyard so that cost me >_>

Why pour stuff into a stolen car? What's with idiots like that?

I get that they don't respect other people's property, but you don't even gain anything for stealing a car and just banging it up and doing stupid things to it.

I guess whoever did this can only keep it up for so long before they finally get caught and find out whether prison-rape is as common as they say it is in the movies.
