fuzmeister: Breaking Bad

---

Anyone else watch this show? I normally don't go for television and try to avoid the universal hype machine, but I really dug this. Kate and I started watching it on Nutflix maybe last summer (2012) and watched the entire last season as it aired.

I'm sure that, if you've read anything online this past week, you probably know the series has ended. I'd be interested to hear what others here thought of the finale if they had followed it.

Kate tells me this is a turning point for television and something, something about the death of the great American novel and moving into new mediums and stuff. I understood what she said, but, either way, this was a damn good show regardless of the cultural impact.

fuzmeister: Hospital

---

I came down with some kind of viral pneumonia last week and had to be hospitalized for a few days. The food wasn't as bad as they tell you it's going to be!

In other news, work continues slowly on the new S&F Software game. It's kind of rough doing it as a one-man operation, because the scope isn't terribly small. I'm still hoping to have some screenshots or something to show by the end of the year.

You just have to break your work down into small, digestible packages and avoid being too overambitious. Also, avoiding the hospital helps greatly in keeping the project alive.

fuzmeister: I'll See Your Post and Raise You A Post of My Own

---

I feel like too much time passes these days between Vent posts. I am including myself in that statement as well. However, what can you expect with micro social media, smartphones, and toilet seats that automatically tweet our bathroom activities?! OK - that last one is false, but I do believe it is coming in the near future.

I guess, at its core, keeping up with a blog or any social media type service is essentially catering to your own ego. I try to make a conscious effort to legitimately provide information on little projects one or two of you may be interested in though.

With that being said, I am working on a new game dev project. I posted some vague words a month or so ago. I didn't (and still don't) want to get ahead of myself, so I'm avoiding providing a lot of information just yet. For example, don't ask me what capacity it will be released in, because I simply just don't have the answer yet. Right now, it's just me working on stuff, so it's slow going. I'm really happy with what's been done thus far though and, hopefully, I'll be able to provide more concrete information by the end of the year.

I'm also trying to balance writing new demos for the next Steve Thompson album. I have a handful of demos completely done and, I have to say, things are sounding fairly interesting. I've felt a lot of inspiration from The Beatles' self-titled (white) album which just has a total hodge-podge of styles between songs. Expect an album that is much smaller in scope, but hopefully equal in terms of sonic diversity. I'm shooting for a 2014 release, but I feel like it's never good to plan things too rigidly.

The hardest part is balancing everything listed in addition to the whole day job thing. That's a drag, mang.
