SHINAN'S PROFILE

That's just the kind of excuses people make when their games suck AFD.

Alright so it's the 15th and an episode has been released!

It's an interview with Kentona and another with ChaosProductions. Hopefully you'll enjoy them both. The episode is about an hour long but there's a bit of me talking in the beginning and end that you might want to skip to get to the juicy parts.

Episode 1
The intro music was a bit of "shit I need something there at the beginning" if anyone has any suggestions for something better to put there I hope I have a better intro next time around :)

The interview with Kentona starts at 3:45

and the interview with ChaosProductions starts at 34:25

Enjoy.

Doesn't this sort of collide with game chill and a lot of people working on that instead of finishing it for this?

I have developed my very own santa mythology and I'm always annoyed by the time-argument that comes up time and time again, because it just doesn't make much sense to me at all.

My santa mythology is much based on Father Christmas being a sort of mafia boss. He has his home up there in Lapland (the North Pole is only for Santa impostors) where he rules over a bunch of people. We have all those santa helpers and gnomes and stuff. The ones that look in through the window to see if children are naughty or nice. These guys report back to all sorts of branches in the Santa machinery.

Santa himself doesn't actually do much else than administrative stuff (Well, being Santa he's like those kinds that like to make sneak visits to the occasional commoner now and again to spread the joy and show that "yes I'm really here")

There are a number of identified branches in the Santa engine. One of the most prominent is run a lot like a terrorist group. That is the civilian recruitment. Occasionally on Christmas you'll be working for Santa and not even know it. In fact nearly everyone who has gone around Santa-ing has worked for the bugger. However the recruitment is limited so that only certain people in a cell has access to information from a cell higher up. In fact often the fact is that people you know work for santa and you work for santa and neither of you actually know that the other one is working for the man.

Another one of the branches that is prominent in Christmas TV-programming is the spy gnome/elf/type these are small guys that travel the world spying on children (sounds a bit scary now that you think about it doesn't it). Of course the civilian recruitment branch sometimes recruits regular humans to do some spying and reporting too but the ancient gnome thing has been a branch that has worked for ages. (Leaving porridge out for the house gnome (that does some extra work for santa during Christmas to get some extra cash) is an ancient form of bribery to get a good report.)

There's of course also the toymakers. Most of which has been outsourced to gigantic corporations by now. I assume that there's a little bit of local production going on but I wouldn't bet on getting very many presents directly from that factory. (Not to mention that I bet the exclusivity of that factory means that money can't buy it either. You would have to be one of those "chosen kids" you see in movies.)



What this all boils down to is that the time argument is pretty stupid because it's obvious to everyone that there are millions of santas out there. Hell. I've seen more than one just walking down the street occasionally.

I mean I've been santa myself. And I had plenty of time, confident in the fact that there were others out there for other people.


This kind of stuff also makes my santa mythology sense happy.


I've always wanted to make a movie about the spying elfgnomethingies. Since it's a big machinery there has to be some corruption in the system and thus there has to be those chainsmoking swearing gnomes too that are just "getting to old for this shit" while trying to determine if random kid of the week is being naughty or nice while talking about random things in Tarantino-esque fashion. I just think that would be a really fun time for the whole family.

The demoman kills me a lot more than the Soldier does. The only time the soldier kills me is when I practice returning missiles with the Pyro...
