A lego spaceman project
There's a project I've been working on for some time. Some may wonder why I use a lego spaceman to be the icon for this weblog, but he goes back some time to an entity I was using way back in the past when I was playing an online computer game called Ultima Online. I have a tendency to play these games with really bizarre characters that are designed to look at the world of whatever game I'm playing from a completely bizarre perspective. A recent type of this play was conducted when I was playing Star Wars Galaxies. My character was named Cellphone Guy. So as these huge battles were going on during the rebels and the Empire stormtroopers, I would wander into the middle of the fight and yell out "Can you hear me now?" (6 second pause) "Good!" Anyway, I think you get the point.
A character I had in Ultima Online was named little sarbonn (which you might notice from my name in my email. Sarbonn comes from a character I created in one of my Tales of Reagul novels, but little sarbonn was different. He was my inquisitive creature, wandering the Hobbesian wilderness of Ultima Online, seeking out those evil players that everyone feared so he could ask them stupid questions. Here's an example of his interactions in that game:
That series was called The Adventures of little sarbonn. Well, what I am creating now is a number of flash movies that will be called something like Adventure of a Lego Spaceman, which will chronicle the lego spaceman's trip through political history in the world, using his little sarbonn-inspired sardonic wit. Right now, my only real problem is finding a physical copy of the lego spaceman to use for this project as lego sets these days don't include the little guy anymore. So, if anyone comes across the little guy, please let me know. I need to take pictures of him from all sorts of angles to fit him into the stories that I want to use with him.
Anyway, just thought I'd share one of the recent projects I'm playing around with in between my actual writing projects.
Stumble It!
