  I Wrote a Novel

  Ram Van Bamf and the Doomsday Conspiracy
  Genre: Humor/Adventure
  Description:
  Ram Van Bamf is a man who suplexes cars with his face. More powerful than a nuclear bomb and durable enough to survive in the vacuum of space, Ram is both the best and worst thing to ever happen to his home city of Ultratropolis. Although his testosterone-driven frenzies regularly cost the city millions of dollars in accidental damages, he is otherwise well-mannered and dedicated to upholding justice. In truth, his very presence in Ultratropolis acts as a deterrent against all criminal activity, but as Ram will soon discover, crime always exists in the margins.
  
  Following a battle to the death with a Tyrannosaurus rex on a mountaintop, Ram unwittingly finds himself embroiled in a conspiracy that could spell devastation for the entire world if he cannot stop it. While Ram is not a thinking man, he quickly makes an ally out of the young and serious-minded business tycoon Fran, who does all of the thinking for the both of them. Together, Ram and Fran will explore the darkest corners of Ultratropolis to unravel the truth, but not without making some unwanted discoveries about themselves.
  
  Melodrama abounds in this hypermasculine adventure of love, laughter, and skull punching.

  I spent a year of my life putting this work together. It basically combines all the disparate elements that have ever influenced me, stuff like The Simpsons, Star Wars, Dragon Ball Z, Power Rangers, Superman, One Life to Live, Gilmore Girls, countless video games... There's a little bit of everything in the pot. But I've been getting great feedback from everyone reading it so far, so hopefully I did something right!

  So I'm playing CoH/CoV.... AGAIN

  This is my second time resubscribing.  Basically, whenever I totally run out of games to play, I resubscribe to CoH and have some fun.  This is another one of those times.  I've just been fooling around today, but tomorrow I intend to find out what server one of my friends is playing on in CoV on his free trial so I can make a character to play with him.  All my characters, good and bad, are on Infinity.  My highest level char is only a 26 blaster, but he's freaking awesome-looking, and his gymmick is good.  He's Supreme Man!
  
  ...
  
  ...
  
  So anyway, I've actually never played CoH/V with a friend I have in real life before.    I did during a WoW free trial, but geez is that game boring and awful.    I need super heroes that go around beating up bad guys endlessly for the sake of getting stronger so they can beat up more bad guys!  Yay!
  
  Oh, and go check out The Comics Union.
