OK, lots of stuff happened, so let's run through it!
FIRST THINGS FIRST, I PLAYED "PREACHER OF LONELY STREET" FOR ERIC POWELL OF THE GOON HOLY SHIT!!
Shout outs to Jo of the 3000 Brigade for recording, and Tate's Comics of Lauderhill!
Speaking of Tate's Comics and the 3000 Brigade...
TATE'S COMICS NOT AT COMIC CON!
This is a little sale/party for those of us who are not going to be at Comic-Con in San Diego. There's mini panels, sales and games. Also the 3000 Brigade will be there, since half the cast works there!
It's this Saturday from noon to 4, and I'll probably bring my guitar and be in cosplay as well.
UPCOMING SHOWS ARE NOW ON FACEBOOK!
Mini Iwai!
Megaplex!
RPG PALS CLUB EPISODE 13- DOG CAPITALISM!
The City of Waterdeep has seen people fade into the night, but how will it deal with people who want to stay up all night?
In which Oi is told the concept of fall, and hey turns out you can put onions in martinis!
Also Kiir gives C'th'ulu the address to our party's house,
JAM OF THE WEEK: "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden
Fuck YEAH Iron Maiden.
This is the Jam Of The Week because while there is something else I've been kicking WAY more, it's a spoiler for future shenanigans.
Also I've really enjoyed learning this in Rocksmith recently, so there you go.

Status Quo Is Getting Ready For Summer
UPCOMING CONVENTION NEEEEEWWWWS!!!
First thing's first! My first CONFIRMED set of the season is Megaplex in Orlando, FL!
It's shaping up to be a big stage, Main Events, Saturday Night!
And, by the time you read this, it'll be made public that I'm playing Mini Iwai, in Ft. Lauderdale!
I will be having a concert at 1 PM, AND will be part of the 3KB Preview Show! What will it be this year? Fiiiiinnnnd oooout!
RPG PALS CLUB: EPISODE 11- "SCARECROW-TASTROPHE!"
"The City of Waterdeep has seen crimes punished and committed by the party, but how will they deal with horrors?"
As esoteric as my naming schemes are, the descriptions mask the amount of insanity deep within these hallowed MP3s.
THE NEXT EPISODE IS NAMED "Skulking In The Streets!" and that's about as normal as it gets for quite... a... while...
JAM OF THE WEEK: "Tiger Mask" by Rocket From The Crypt
All right, so one time, I was looking for the theme song to the Tiger Mask W Anime on Spotify, because Tiger Mask W is a fucking banger. Naturally, a lot of the titles were in Japanese, and I couldn't tell one from the other. So, I clicked on the only one in English, and this came on.
Fun fact: This song appears in two forms: the first on Dope, Guns, 'n' Fucking in the Streets, Vol. 11, a compilation album from Amphetamine Reptile Records in 1997, which is considered the "final" version, and All Systems Go 3!!! a compilation of the bands B-Sides and oddities, which features an instrumental version.
I am obsessed with this song. It starts of dirty, like an assassin wearing a Tiger Luchador Mask wearing an all white suit speeding down a Miami Highway, covered in blood, head out the window.
Then the saxaphones come in.
YOU BELOOOOOONG... TO TIGER MAAAAAASK!

Status Quo A Lot Of Shit Hasn't Been Confirmed Yet So Here's What I've Been Into Recently
Now, here's the thing about my silence: It's not that I HAVEN'T been working, it's that what I've been working on either:
So, here's some stuff I CAN tell you:
RETROMANIA
Not much to say YET, but if you're a fan of old wrestling games, you might want to check this out.
I got to do a song for it! That is the most I can comfortably say I'm involved with it, AND THAT'S GONNA BE A RUNNING THEME.
CONS
I was at Mizucon in May, and it had a REALLY good comeback! The hotel they used is beautiful, there were a lot of people there, and my panel, Mizu-Mania II (Under New Management)! had a full house!
Also, I invested in a new type of goodie: BADGE RIBBONS!
HOW CAN I GET ONE? YOU ASK:
1. Buy at least $5 in merch at my table
2. Return 25 MTG Cards that I threw out into the audience
My next cons are Mini Iwai (with the 3000 Brigade) and Megaplex. WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE?
JAM OF THE WEEK: "Godzilla" by Bear McCreary feat. Serj Tankaran
The intro makes it sound like they're either announcing the coming of a God or at least erecting a big-ass statue of them lest they have their thatched roof cottages burninated. Serj Tankaran has a unique, operatic voice and it suits the song well, since it takes a more "HERE COMES THE FUCKING APOCALYPSE" take on the still great Blue Oyster Cult originial.
Some of the production in the way certain notes hit makes me feel this was produced to make it seem more "trailer friendly". For another example of this, see Gary Clarke Jr.'s version of "Come Together" for the movie Justice League, and how some of those guitars sound like the Inception BWAAAAA.
Still great workout fodder. Moreso than the original.
SINCE IT'S E3: THE BEST E3 PRESENTATION EVER
If you want to see a bit evolve over the course of 25+ minutes, watch this.
All I want to say is: Fuck The J-Haters.
WHAT I'VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH: SONIC 2006 REAL TIME FANDUB
First, nice Marching Band cover of Ke$ha's "Die Young". Second, nice Zebrahead cover.
This is an example of just throwing shit out there, and seeing what people latch on to. It's over an hour, but surprisingly consistent in all the bullshit it makes up.
- can't be talked about (legally)
- can't be talked about because it isn't done
- can't be talked about because it isn't confirmed.
So, here's some stuff I CAN tell you:
RETROMANIA
Hey everyone, here is something I just through together to show some alpha footage of the game. Again, this is pretty early and we have a LOT of work to do. But just wanted to show what we are working on. (There is a track of music if you want to listen to it. ) pic.twitter.com/Tbnd5eQLtf— Retrosoft Studios (@RetrosoftStudio) May 27, 2019

Status Quo Monthy? Nah, Just Busy
WHEW, LET'S GET SOME SHIT OUT OF THE WAY!
Not that I haven't been active, I've just been busy, and the site just works as an aggregate of what I've been up to, and since I've been flying by the seat of my pants for a lot of it, I haven't focused on the site as much. A lot has happened since the Spring Update video, and I will share it all with you...
ULTRACON 2019!
This was the return of Ultracon after a couple years, coming back to the MACC. It had a great turnout, even though the layout wasn't that good, with panels on a top floor where other events went on at the same time, and the dealer's room was on the bottom floor.
Thankfully, I was helping run ULTRAMANIA! on the same floor right before my event.
I made a lot of new fans that show, but like Omni Expo, I hope it can learn to use its space better.
BASTARDMOBILE STREAM!
So a couple weeks ago I ran a 12 hour stream to raise money to help fix my car. To recap:
1. A bunch of friends and fans were eager to help me out in a time where I could use some help
2. I organized a big event with minor technical fuckups.
3. I put on a damn good concert
4. I made Twitch Affiliate.
So there was a broad swath of games, and a broad swath of guests, and here's the recap of the schedule:
12:00 - 1:00 PM - Fallout New Vegas w/ Steven from S15 Costuming
1:00 - 3:00 PM - Torchlight 2 w/ RPG Pals Club
3:00 - 4:00 PM - MTG: Arena w/ WeffJebster
4:00 - 5:00 PM - Dicey Dungeons w/ Hupfen
5:00 - 6:30 PM - Diddy Kong Racing w/ Ben Briggs
6:30 - 7:30 PM - Sunset Overdrive w/ John GM
Concert at 8
Halo and Rock Band 4 Open play afterwards
Special thanks to everyone who watched and everyone who came on to play!
I really want to do another one sometime in a couple months just for a "Hey, let's build a warchest and hangout with all these cool people I know"
MIZUCON PLANS!
So far it's just Mizu-Mania on Monday, but we are working hard to bring you an excellent event! It will be on the main stage, and since we've got a couple of these under our belt, we can deliver high impact digital wrestling action with MINIMAL technical fuck ups!
JAM OF THE... WEEK? "Rose Colored Boy" by Paramore
So, new Paramore kinda rules actually? More poppy, and apparently they don't want to play "Misery Business" anymore, but who cares?
Hayley Williams's acting in this REALLY sells the story as she becomes more and more detached and disinterested with each segment of this cheesy 80's news show. "Rose Colored Boy" is also about a rarely expressed sentiment: "No, I'm not happy, and fuck you for thinking I could just get over it"
