My friends on the Minibosses message forum have a “Let’s MS Paint Bits from videogames” thread. Here is my contribution.

Spinja Warzone
BoardGameGeek’s write up on Spinjas has a thread on Games with wind-up toys that lists Spinjas as the highest ranked wind-up game out of 12 games. Even if it weren’t the #1 wind-up game of all time, playing Spinjas is an intense experience. Just thinking about the game makes my stomach ulcer act up and want to eat raw hamburger meat.

Dangers of Honesty
Dangers of Honesty is a movie that I was involved with a year or so back. It tells about a young man struggling with drug addiction and coping with the loss of a loved one. The movie was produced and written Jonny Gillis, who also appears in the lead role as well as a couple other movies here on Protozoic. (Take a look at Jugular, written and produced by Andrew Salerno, who was responsible for the cinematography in Dangers of Honesty.) The movie was shot on location in Chestertown, MD (at Thom’s house) and in Harper’s Ferry, WV.

Dick Quits Macy’s
Back in the summer of 2000, Brian was working at Macy’s and quit. I made a web comic based on the events, but the comic was never posted (it was most likely intended for the Cave of Trouble site). Now, nine years later, here it is.

BUTTER
This garlic bread had the most disgusting amount of garlic butter on it. This is post oven; there was so much that it didn’t melt totally.
The Monster That Challenged the World/It! The Terror From Beyond Space
When I saw The Monster That Challenged the World (1957), directed by Arnold Laven, briefly featured in Joe Dante’s Piranha (1978), I decided to check it out. For late 50’s sci-fi, it is pretty good. The monster are actually monsters, slugs to be exact, in The Monster That Challenged the World. The movie comes on a double DVD with It! The Terror From Beyond Space (1958), directed by Edward L. Cahn. It! The Terror From Beyond Space was a massive influence on Ridley Scott’s Alien (1979). While Alien drew from a number of sources, like A. E. van Vogt’s The Voyage of the Space Beagle (1950), It! The Terror From Beyond Space really is Alien, man in a rubber suit and all.
