My town outlawed Bandicoots.
( January 5th, 2009 )
Judson King is an 11 year old gamer from Lawrence Kansas who loves Sonic the Hedgehog. So much so, in fact, that he asked his mother for a real one. The problem however was that his town had an ordinance prohibiting the tiny mammal within city limits. After years of research, preparation, and lobbying King found himself in front of the City Commission presenting his argument to lift the ban. Finding "few serious reasons" to keep the law, it was officially removed from the books last Tuesday. Judson received a two and a half month old hedgehog named "Little Luke" soon after.
Source: CNN Video [ more info ] and KansasCity.Com [more info] I found this article by way of Kotaku, and where they pick at Judson I decided to take the journalistic high ground. Obvious obsession aside, I think it's fantastic that he was so passionate about ANYTHING that he was that willing to work for it. Good on him and his decision not to just accept a law that didn't seem to make any sense. I just wish one of the cited articles explained why the city had banned Hedgehogs in the first place. The only part I don't understand is... why didn't he name it Sonic? And in the world of weird coincidence, I was watching Bubble Boy just a few short hours before finding the article. Yeah yeah I know, not 100% relevant. But, I thought it was interesting none the less. Don't mock me for my marginally related, tangential musings!

I feel a little... dirty.
( November 3rd, 2008 )
After years of avoiding it like the plague, I gave in to a moment of weakness and created a myspace page for GU. I know I know... I kinda feel dirty. But, social networking is bigger than porn on the net these days so I temporarily caved. Meh, these things happen right?
And now that there is a page you might as well know about it. I can't say that there will ever be regular updates, or even a reason for friend-ing it. But, if you want to, feel free. I'll probably cave to the other social networking sites in time. Without further ado, the dirty link: http://www.myspace.com/gucomics [ discuss ]
Guild Recruitment Forum
( September 15th, 2008 )
One of the things I've worked hard to eliminate from the GU forums is the never-ending stream of promotional threads/posts. The primary culprits for this have always been new websites and guild recruitment. Well... websites were given a method of having their site mentioned but guilds were kinda getting the shaft. And since this IS a community encouraging community is usually a good idea.
With that in mind I've created a new sub-forum where folks can post their guild recruitment information. It's called "Call to Arms", is right below "The Who What Where" on the list of sub-forums, and is now open for business. I encourage people posting recruitment messages to read the rules specific to "Call to Arms" before posting. It should make things go a lot smoother. [ discuss ] |
