Here is a post from an old blog I had running.  Kind of an interesting story from my flight to London.

Voyage of the Damned

Here is a short play I wrote for the 2009 summer blitz at the bartell theatre in Madison, WI.  The theme was “Malcom McDowell movies”, and we picked play titles out of a hat.  I got “Voyage of the Damned” as my pick, as well as 2 male and 2 female characters.  We were also supposed to have one character that would be portrayed by a “Mad Rolling Doll” roller derby skater.  Try to guess what role she got below… it isn’t difficult.  The whole experience was awesome, and they put on a great production.  Read it below, in its entirety.

Top 6 Gape-Mouthed Person(s) on Video Game Box Art

In an effort to make their games more extreme, many publishers have decided to add a male character yelling on the cover of their games. This simple decision increases the extreme quotient of your game by over 67%.  Additionally,  the person buying the game might be thinking that they are being yelled at by the cover.  This will invoke memories of other times they have been yelled at. Most of the time those memories will reignite deep seeded family issues and make the viewer uncomfortable.  To fix this situation, the viewer will often purchase the game to stop the yelling.  If the user has a clean family past, this yelling will just bring up more questions.  What is the person on the cover yelling about?  Are they angry that someone is trying to steal their soul with a photographic device?  Did they just get punched in a sensitive area right before the photo?  We have little hope for ever answering these questions, but I suspect the plot of “The Mystery of the Druids” ties in with this all somehow.
