Right now I have a
bit on my plate, and the most recent presidency has been causing
nothing but problems to a lot of people I love. But I decided to
return to this blog with a new initiative of new posts this time
three times a week. This shall be the Monday installment, basically a
Jumpchain popularized by the /tg/ board. Yes, despite it being a pit
of scum there are good ideas there on occasion. It shall be a palette
cleanser and a true instance of unrepentant geeking in the face of my
semi-professional obligations. Not familiar with a Jumpchain? That's
why I wrote a prologue below.
Deep in the memetic and optimistic layers of the Internet lies a tavern. A watering hole for those who have been crushed or daunted by the cutthroat business of life and pop culture commentary. Bartender and owner is the Digital Desperado, a man who writes and fights for game criticism, a more thoughtful look at nerd material and isn't above mixing something heady to help when clear answers aren't available

Terrible Minds Flash Fiction Challenge Jan. 7 2017
...kept you waiting
huh?
Alright I've been
away for far too long, especially after that heavy last post
considering our election. Don't worry, I'm still just as angry and
bitter as before and yes he is still #NotMyPresident, but the minute
this blog becomes more about the political landscape than about
creatively analyzing games and film is the minute I close up shop and
throw myself into the Susquehanna River.
But since I need to
flex the old writing muscles I decided to dust off a Flash Fiction
challenge headed by Terrible Minds, the blog held by maniac author
Chuck Wendig. So in 1500 words or so the challenge is to write...a
post-apocalyptic story. But it has to be distinctly original. No
zombies, no nukes, come up with something else. So after the jump,
take a dive into how I see the world ending.
