On a Turok Self-Indulgence Binge

I was stolling the flea market, and casually saw a comic book shop. Now, up until this point in my life, I have bought only two comics (unless kiddie LEGO comics count) I was curious about the two comic franchises I know a bit about: Turok, Dinosaur Hunter and Dark Horse's Godzilla. Well, asked a few question, and learned a few answers, but also was offered 5 for $1 90s Turok comics! I was shocked that these comics were so cheap, considering that they had been stored carefully since 1994 or so, but I am guessing the seller mostly wanted them to find good homes. I liked this description for one of the Turok incarnations: (via Wikipedia) "In the revamped Acclaim [Entertainment]

universe, Turok is not the character's name, but rather a title meaning 'Son of Stone'. The Turok must protect the barriers between this dimension and the others—the axis of all worlds being The Lost Lands, a place where creatures from across time and space had been dragged and where "Time has no meaning". Joshua Fireseed, the latest Turok, must travel between alternate universes stopping those who would try to conquer the Lost Lands, and thus all of the Multiverse with it. This series is notable for inspiring the Video Game series of the same name." I learned that Turk may soon be published anew, or may not. If you can beleive what you hear from MTV... http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2008/06/10/exclusive-adam-beach-to-star-in-live-action-turok-movie/ It's compatriots from the same comic lines have been brought back from oblivion just this year. You see, the publisher company had died off, and took Turok with it. It has been born again, and perhaps Turok along with it. It's probably an idle hope, but in the Kingdom of Hope there is no Winter. the Turok franshise began in the 1950s with Western Publishing, and isn't considered very readable. And about the most recent video game from 2008, simply titled Turok, a reboot: http://n4g.com/news/107635/cheatcc-review-turok-3-8-out-of-5-old-franchise-gets-next-gen-makeover This brings us up to the present day, with the Dark Horse comics rebooted reboot (featuring 1428 AD characters) published in 2011 and 2012. I found some nifty links: http://www.darkhorse.com/Features/Making-of-a-Comic/1188/Making-of-a-Comic-Turok-Son-of-Stone-1 (print this!) This link at Amazon is cool, especially if you read the customoer reviews: http://www.amazon.com/TUROK-SON-OF-STONE-Various/dp/B000ZBEOGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355199185&sr=8-1&keywords=turok+son+of+stone+dvd Why do I use the "xenomorh" and "kaijuology" labels you may wonder? Well, these are often not your garden variety dinosaurs, sometimes mutations and sometimes technologically-enhanced. Also found this link: (a cool free comic of Valient's Re-newed X-O Manowar first issue) http://www.newsarama.com/php/multimedia/album.php?aid=48211 You still have my link to Kill All Monsters webcomic, right?

my gaming profile (my reference)

The meetup.com website keeps changing, and my gaming profile keeps getting deleted, so I thought I'd re-post the matter here, and also embellish a bit.

Gamer from Tulsa Oklahoma. Well, backup, I am born 'n raised Triad but moved to Oklahoma, now back since '09. I was looking for you guys for a while. I now go to MACE and SCARAB. I have been a GM at MACE (NC) and Conestoga (OK).

I was looking for a gaming group like I had known in Oklahoma, which knew and played Carcassone and Catan and such games, and I found it here. I have been very pleased.

I have a collection of games now (not especially big, but quite decent) which includes Carcassone, the Catan Dice Game, Hey That's My Fish, Classic RISK, RISK 2210, TransAmerica, Doctor Lucky, Anachronism, Martian Fluxx, Havoc, my repurposed 2-Player Star Trek Card Game, my repurposed Havoc on Parade, Citadels, The Great Dalmuti, chess, Pit, In a Pickle, Bang!, Alien Abduction, Guillotine, and Jishaku magnets. Wow, I have more games than I had thought!

Anyone who has met and played with me probably knows I lean towards the so-called "abstract strategy," more chaotic games.

The Catan Dice Game was my first modern purchase, after chess and classic RISK and a large Star Trek collection. I began my hobby interest in the 90s with the Star Trek Customizable Card Game, played tournament-sytle not unlike Magic. There was a long break with intermittant chess, RISK games, and video games until I found a Eurogames group out in Tulsa. It has snowballed from there. Unlike most gamers of our type, I have never played D&D. I have joked with my girlfriend, in high school I just wasn't cool enough to play D&D. Ha ha!

Looking to someday buy Blokus, The Stars Are Right, Nuclear War, and maybe Forbidden Island

This is so cool!

Zelda Fitzgerald

I am reading a partial biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald, and I got very curious as to why so much to-do was made of Zelda's looks. Well, now I have a new "Glorious Black and White" woman to add to my "list" along with Maureen O'Sullivan

A very creative (if gratuitous in the South Park way)

Many of this artist's renderings I consider superior to what has appeared in the more recent games.

Zelda ringtone!

I've brought a little extra joy to my life this week.

This time, it's not related to cleavage, nor food, nor drink, nor natural history, nor kaiju, nor sci-fi.

I finally, after many years of cellphone use, added my first custom ringtone (here I just mean custom referring to a chosen download, rather than a company preset option; I did NOT make anything myself; i don't have the equipment, for one thing)

Years ago, when i first considered a cellphone, I already knew that a Zelda ringtone (from the classic version of the video game) was what i wanted. I could here it in my mind.

But sadly, my phone at the time did not support non-preset ringtones, so I let it be. It wasn't worth the extra money at that time.

I knew i had the capability for internet access on my new phone, but it hadn't really occurred to me in any urgent way that I could use the internet capability for free ringtones. I had too much else to worry about, being unemployed and all.

Anyway, friend at work => phonezoo.com => searches => experiemting => http://www.phonezoo.com/ringtone/11422109/zelda.htm

The above Link (haha! Link! Get it!) was better sounding than most versions I found on that site. Almost symphonic is clarity. I wonder where/how it was produced.

Now I learn that it *is* symphonic! If I understood right, it's taken from here: Zelda Medley
