Mouth + Foot = Furry
OK, two things. Last night (or this morning, by how WP reckons) I mentioned that I thought City of Heroes’ Issue 8 would be out today. Naturally, this evening, Lighthouse (one of the NCSoft Dev Liaisons) says that I8 is set for a post-Thanksgiving launch. So, wrong on one.
Also today, I made a bet that one of the three current players in the industry would not be making a return engagement when the next run of consoles comes around. While that’s a good five years off, I was immediately told that I was going to lose the bet. With the penalty being that I would have to camp out for all three systems and buy them on launch day, only to immediately donate them to a charity such as Child’s Play or Get Well Gamers. Honestly? There’s no real “loser” in that kind of a bet. (Besides, I’ve always wanted to camp out for a console, and money restricted me from doing so this time around.) I’m not going to sweat the outcome. But I am, naturally, going to remember it.
Oh, and I’m still working on getting the outline together for Incon. My plan is to read through the story so far tonight, and re-formulate the chain of events. The current goal is the end of January to have a finished manuscript. I already think I know what parts are going to have to be cut/re-written, but I’m leaving them as-is for now to make sure that I don’t accidentally cut something that a publisher would think was gold.

Hmm, when I first saw the title I thought of the foot and mouth problem we had here a number of years back, and was worried you might be incinerating yourself to follow the fate of so many sheep… Still, camping out for the PS4 may be just as deadly. May I suggest in the interest of economics that you sell them on Ebay to make more profit for the charities?
