I can’t wait for my shipment of Star Brand</a href> to come in this week so I can bone up on Jim Shooter’s wisdom. So to pass the time, I’ve been trying my own hand at comixxx.
Email me any questions or concerns.
Waiting,
Curtis
Early fighting games had one status, a life gauge, and it only went one way: down. Some other fighters added another layer in the form of an energy/rage gauge. That too usually only went up until filled to max, then you can use some devastating ability. Dragonball Z: Burst Limit not only employs a third gauge, but the ones apart from the health gauge are freely dynamic, filling and depleting depending on action. This is a lot like my earlier-drafted cinematic combat system.

Jennifer was playing The Smiths all day last Fri. in the office. Somehow it all devolved into a photo shoot to make mock Smiths album covers. Eat your heart out or stick a thorn in your side.
Yours at the Ouiji Board,

In my copy of Conan The Barbarian, no. 145, Jim Shooter outlines something he calls “Shooter’s Laws.”
The First Law of Mail
All mail must be opened and read by the person to whom it is addressed. No exceptions.
I don’t get it. What is my secretary going to do?
Gotta run and take a poop.

Greetings from the BunkeGGGRRR!!! That’s right, I said, “GRRRR!!!” I bet you are wondering why? The pet ferret is loose again and he’s a crafty son-of-bitch. Yesterday he got into the Honey Nut Cherrios, and let me just say that His Majesty Rudolph was not in the slightest pleased. The funny thing is that no one has actually seen Jerry the Ferret anywhere ferrying about.
This has raised a couple eyebrows and led some to ask the question, is it actually Jerry???
Fact: On Tuesday our handy-man came to clean out our gutters. He expressed a keen interest in Jerry and asked if he could buy him off us. We politely explained that Jerry was the Bunker’s pet, and wasn’t for sale as such. I’m not so sure if our handy-man comprehended. I think I saw his blue pickup truck outside the office last night at around 10:30 p.m… Maybe the handy-man has a taste for Honey Nut Cheerios too…
Yours in the Future & Worried about Jerry,
Curtis, Sr. Editor
Many moons ago I conducted an email interview with [Black Affair](http://www.myspace.com/blackaffair) frontman Stephen Mason. Formally a member of the now legendary [Beta Band](http://www.myspace.com/thebetaband) and his own solo outing [King Biscuit Time](http://www.myspace.com/metalbiscuit), Black Affair resonates as a project distinctly Mason’s, yet a very different beast from his previous musical efforts. Since this interview was conducted, the [Black Affair album, “Pleasure Pressure Point,”](http://www.amazon.com/Pleasure-Pressure-Point-Black-Affair/dp/B0013XVBQA/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1219604428&sr=8-1) has been released. However, it is currently only available on import. Here’s hoping that it gets stateside distribution!
Interview Follows
I have really enjoyed the songs you have been putting up on the Black Affair Myspace page (there have been a number of them). Can we expect an album anytime soon?
Yes! the album is done and sounds incredible. Once the business end is fixed i can put it out. Soon i hope.
