  • Highly Motivated

    This’ll be it for today. That’s not a guarantee that I will (or won’t) make more tomorrow, mind you.

    First up we have a trio of posters inspired by City of Heroes screenshots I found on my computer. I hope that the humor is accessible for non-gaming folks:

    The last entry for today has a bit of backstory. If you don’t know how I came to be “the little grey duck,” the following poster may confuse you:

    When I was a teenager, one of my favorite phrases was “not this little grey duck!” It got to the point where people began calling me “ducky,” which (of course) caused me to drop that catchphrase like a hot rock. The damage, however, was done. The “ducky” has been following me around ever since. When the Internet Age began, however, after bumping up against a few all-too-popular pop-culture nickname choices, that “little grey duck” came to mind after long consideration and… the rest, as they say, is history.

    It’s all about turning lemons into lemonade, right?

  • More Motivation

    Y’all should know better than to encourage me, you know.

    Rehabilitation is anime-themed, but I don’t think you don’t need to be an “otaku” to get a laugh out of it.

    Mementos is based, oddly enough, on a serious bit of rumination.

    Obsession may go over some folks’ heads. Suffice to say that I used to take my music collecting very seriously.

    I have the sick, sad feeling that I’m not done yet. I should also get off my lazy kiester and put these into the gallery where they belong… if I do, I’ll redact this and the other entry accordingly. (Edit: Done! Thumbnails! Woo-hoo!)
