Yep, I'm excited for it! How's life treating you these days?

thanks

How;d you get oyur username sorry durnk agian!! you're ocfol oh god i am shti. anyways yeah. what's the story behind the usnermane?

Thanks! How was your Christmas? And do you have any plans for 2013?

Yeah, the balance in the job space is horrendous. In the games industry, the consumer market is 53/47, yet the people who make it is skewed about 90/10.

Do you partake in any silly online social media stuff like Twitter or whatever?

Heh, I regret nothing! Not the wrong number.

Anyways, how are things going? After your foray into pop sci-fi, did you get scared from the genre for good? I started reading Islands in the Net the other night, and after being told that the author, Bruce Sterling, was very progressive and ahead of his tim,. I was thouroughly disappointed after about 20 pages. Tons and tons of made up tech terms that felt clumsy and made it seem like he was trying way too hard to sound either tech savvy or futurist. I haven't gone back to it since then. I've gotten into some more Dostoyevsky lately, had only ever read The Brother Karamazov before.

Anyways enough about me. Have you been at all participating in the recent internet activism of feminism in games/comics/media? Been fascinating to watch. It's been interesting how it really has bled over into mainstream media (CNN, gaming blogs and sites like Joystiq and Gamespot), and actually managed to get into "mainstream" focus; even the media companies themselves have had to address it a bit. Really interesting possibly early success of what started online sort of "making" it. But I still feel at times that the whole idea is in its infancy, and that people struggle to convert internet postings (somewhat passive and uninvovled, although certainly better than nothing, as any channel of communication is good) to more significant activism. I think any open dialogue about the lack of non white males in media though is good at this point, we've been scuffling on that for far too long.

Let me know how the 5cm manga is if you get around to it. I'm curious if the sort of melancholy mood of the movie is well displayed in the manga, too. I find it hard to imagine his works without the (admittedly somewhat sugary) soundtracks.

Happy to help! Minky Momo is a series that means a lot to me. So glad to see that there's still interest in it to this day. Glad you enjoyed the Antarctica blog! (out of curiosity, was it more the photos or the stories from the trip?)
