I’m going to see Brian Auger tonight at the Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis. It should be a cool show. If you go to Brian Auger’s site, listen to some of the music in the flash player on the right side of the page. Tracks 2, 3, and 7 are pretty good.
I’ve switched domains temporarily (now www.animagnum.com) but the old animagnum.net will soon redirect to this site once I get it switched.
I just finished re-designing the Asym (Grade440) website. It was a lot of fun and now we have a website that isn’t so-four-months-ago. We’ll be moving it to a new URL in the next few days.
GameSetInterview: Halo Screenwriter DB Weiss
Given the content of his book, Lucky Wander Boy, I think it is absolutely hilarious that Weiss is writing the screenplay for Halo — a game that means so much to Adam Pennymans all over the world. As noted in the interview, Weiss once said:
“Far more work went into the LWB screenplay excerpt than any other section of the book, except possibly the end. I think someone ought to hire me to write terrible, techno-mystical action screenplays. I think I have a knack.”
Weiss could easily bring his multi-ending story style to the big screen in the Halo movie that would leave jaws dropped to the floor. In between each ending we’d (Halo gamers) would hear the anticipatory beeps before a respawn, which would remind us a new ending is on its way. If you’d like to know what the hell I’m talking about, read Lucky Wander Boy.
