Wow, EIGHT Years?
Wow, it’s already been eight years since RaptorSquad.Net has been up and running- that’s damn hard to believe. But true it is fiends! Anyway, this month we don’t have much Star Wars related to throw at you, but rest assured that new material is in the works. For now though, I’m going to be showcasing one of several other RPG projects I’ve worked on in the past with my gaming group.
At the bottom of the Raptor Squad page you will find a link to the OCW- Outlaw Championship Wrestling. This was a play-by-post wrestling game I ran back in 2007. My group and I had a lot of fun with it, though real life, other endeavors and simple time constraints ended it far before it’s time had come.
The game itself involved players running wrestlers, or stables of wrestlers. Matches were held every week, with the outcome determined by a point system assigned to wrestling holds the players would pick for each grappler. Wrestlers would win “money” based on their performance in the ring that they could redeem for various prizes or advantages. Every Monday night the matches were posted in a weekly write-up, detailing the results in a play-by-play format.
Anyway, some entertaining material was created and I thought it would be fun to unveil it to the world for everyone to see. So, if you are into “rasslin” it might be something you will want to check out.
Hope you enjoy and as always we love to hear your feedback!

ONE YEAR!?!
I've been doing this blog for ONE YEAR?
SERIOUSLY!?!
Wow it really doesn't feel like it.
Of course there were times where I should have updated more, but in my defense 2008 was a particularly craptacular year.
Well, I have no regrets. So far 2009 is going in the right direction and I'm at a good place in my life and happy. Hopefully this will translate into more goodies for you folks soon.
Anyway, my thanks to all the folks who have commented and given me feedback!

A personal rant to Alan Moore- Shut the hell up
So, Alan Moore, the "tortured" artiste isn't going to watch the "Watchmen" film.
Big freaking deal.
The problem with Moore, and Frank Miller and all of these snapperhead comic book writers is this misplaced sense of self-worth that Hollywood and the Fanboy nation has instilled in them.
So when one of their "creations" gets picked up by Hollywood, driven downtown, bought dinner and then brutally raped senseless like most Hollywood projects do, they want to cry and whine like little spoiled bitches that their "precious works of art" didn't get translated how THEY would have liked or wanted.
Oh, but these sausage-chewing a-holes will be more than happy to take those nice fat checks from "The Big Evil Hollywood Machine" so they can blow their wad on crack or man-whores or ugly-ass suits.
Look, shut your hole, write your funnybooks, take the money offered and be glad there are enough Fanboys out there that find you at least moderately entertaining to keep your ass form having to go out and get a real job.
Cause I hate to break it to you, but your asses wouldn't last five minutes in the real world- and I don't care how many cigarettes you smoke and how much beer you drink down at "the pub". The second you start thinking you're as bad and hardcore as the protagonists you script in your graphic novels is the day you wake up with your ass in a sling.
Whew.
That felt better.
Sorry for the rage, but I'm tired of the pissing and moaning I hear from these idiots every time a new flick based on their marginally-entertaining funnybooks come out.

Getting Back to Form....
Well folks, just a quick update:
I'm back. Surgery went great and I'm slowly getting back to my old self (much to the dismay of the world at large).
Anywho, I've got a game coming up I'm getting ready for and after that hope to jump back into updating the Raptor Squad site and posting things here.
So! You know, keep your eyes open!

When last we left our Hero (Me!!!)
...I was about to have surgery.
Nothing life threatening (as far as I know) but I wanted everyone who reads this to know why I've not been posting regularly as of late.
Hopefully that wil change in a week or so and I'll be back on a semi-regual schedule.
In addition, I'm getting the writing itch again...so you might see the last installment of Ep.10 coming down the pike soon.
Yay!
Anyway, feel free to send your well wishes my way and keep me in your thoughts as I go under the knife!
