bling theater world milestones..

Darn, it's been a little while. Had to cut down a little on my Slashdot Games posting schedule, switching from doing about 20 hours a week more than I should to maybe 10 hours a week more, heh, since I'm working on the book and a bunch of other projects. But still hitting about 40 posts a week, albeit with lots more help with submitters, and just got to 2000 overall Slashdot posts on the 'fabled' Slashdot Hall Of Fame - but the high score will never be mine, hah. Oh, and a follow-up from last time - my Gamasutra 'Lost In Translation' article is now required reading at Stanford's History Of Computer Game Design class. Yoiks, shraggy.

Some good music wandering around today, too. Over at the Archive's netlabels section, the new Bubzigohn album on SoulSeek Records is pretty much astounding, imho, especially for being free to download - I referenced The Goats' 'Tricks Of The Shade' album in describing it, another concept album with spoken-word aspects that really _works_. Oh, and if you dig Illegal Art, then try downloading Danger Mouse's 'The Grey Album' - the Beatles and Jay-Z never got on so well.

Otherwise, just about had time to sneak some movie watching in... via TiVo, there was Master Of The World, with Vincent Price as mad Jules Verne-created airship captain Robur - not bad, although Charles Bronson should have plunged to his doom to save us from underacting. Also, via Netflix, Spellbound is every bit as good a documentary as the hype has indicated - darn, spelling bees are the next celebrity poker tournaments, right?
