For reasons that aren’t entirely clear (though I suspect that large amounts of alcohol and/or illegal substances may have been involved) I was recently invited to join WotG due to my somewhat religious dedication to all things animated. Though the fact that I haven’t changed my TV tuner from Cartoon Network in over two years isn’t the sort of thing that I’d normally associate with “prior job experience”, I suspect being the world’s oldest living teenager has its merits on the geekier side of things, and so thus I find myself one of the newest additions to the WotG roster. Both of you who may already be familiar with my online comic ‘The Polymer City Chronicles” (likely by someone who told you how awful it was and how you should avoid it at all costs) are also aware of the other time-waster that’s very close to my heart: video games and the game industry as a whole. You’ll probably hear me frequently rant about how the PS3 is STILL too expensive despite all the stuff that you get with it, how Nintendo is intentionally dragging it’s heels to artificially inflate Wii demand, and how Microsoft’s ability to buy exclusive content could eventually do them more harm than good…but these are topics for another night when it’s not after 2am, and back-to-back Inuyasha episodes aren’t emptying my mind like a freshly-flushed toilet bowl. On that note, just in case the programming director at Adult Swim happens to buzz by here: more Futurama, less Inuyasha (NO Inuyasha if we can get away with it). I’m not sure what audience you’re aiming this show at when it’s airing at between 1:30-2:30am, but it sure as hell can’t be the same demographic that thinks TAG body Spray and T-Mobile are the phattest, yo.

Anybody who says “more Futurama” is an automatic friend of mine. Welcome to the crew, and I look forward to reading your future articles.
