The Potential Of Nintendo - Essay by MichaelWoods, literature

The Potential Of Nintendo - Essay

You know, Nintendo? That little videogame company over in Japan? Been around for decades? Okay, so the title of this essay seems a little strange given the massive success this company has had over the years. Even in recent years with the missteps of the WiiU, the company is still financially healthy with around ten-and-a-half billion dollars in the bank according to one article. It further claimed that Nintendo could operate at a massive loss (over a quarter billion dollars) for the next 38 years and still be solvent. http://www.gamesradar.com/nintendo-doomed-not-likely-just-take-look-how-much-money-its-got-bank/ "Buried in reams of

Utopia Calling - Bizarre New World

PAGE ONE / SIX PANELS PANEL ONE: We open on a hallway in a dorm. The walls are lined with doors both open and closed as college students go to and fro. Some float. Some walk. In the foreground we see CHARLIE EDISON and DAVE MAYHEW with a couple pizzas and a six of beer. They have just come up the stairs to find a gaggle of nerds dressed as Quidditch players coming from the other direction. Each of these POTTER HEADS stand armed with a plain broom in hand. One has a red rubber dodge ball tucked under one arm. (1) CHARLIE: Wha-?! PANEL TWO: Both parties squeeze past one another in the hall. CHARLIE is intrigued by the spectacle as

That Special Someplace

Most couples have that special someplace. That spot where the memories were born and the love nurtured. The place where you first realized or went to remind yourself or took for granted until it all became memory. That someplace where you feel yourself living in the moment. It was our second date and she had invited me to go for a walk in the park near work. I’d only driven past the park before, but thought it looked beautiful and always wanted to find the time to go there. I was excited to be seeing it with her. She had been there before, so when we got there I let her lead. She seemed a little quieter than the last date, which

Memories Of Heavens Past

I remember the stars. The sky littered with tiny points of light with a ribbon of milky white where the stars become indistinguishable from one another. This was always my favorite part of camping. Being away from the city lights and in view of the naked heavens. It made me feel dizzy, like I might fall off the side of the planet. Where I live now, there is only a sad imitation of that sky. Few enough stars that I could probably count them all. Few enough that the directions to Neverland make sense. Few enough that it isn’t worth a second glance. I recently stood in a park and looked up at the night sky. It still failed to liv

Happily Ever After

PAGE ONE / FOUR PANELS PANEL ONE: It is a warm summer night. We see a young girl of about five, sitting in a field with her father. Fireflies buzz around the field, making these tiny lights dance over the tops of tall weeds. (1) CAPTION: Once upon a time, I used to catch pixies in jelly jars. PANEL TWO: The father slips his huge arms about her, holding her from behind. She holds this huge, glass jelly jar in her hands with a huge grin spread across her face. Three or four fireflies bounce around inside the jar, indistinguishable as anything other than bright, little lights. (2) CAPTION: After dinner…before bed, my father would take

A Moment by MichaelWoods, literature

A Moment

"I hear you", she tells me while curled up in my lap like a cat. Her brunette mane spilling over my leg as she looks up at me with those gorgeous green eyes. "I can hear you" she repeats. I haven't said a word, but I'm apparently thinking rather loudly. About sex. About her body. About the way she smells and tastes. About my mouth on her and hers on mine and all the sweet and dirty things to follow. This is what she hears. What she doesn't hear is the moments after. About laying together, cozy under the covers and in one another's arms. The moments before with foreheads touching. Sharing each others breath with eyes closed

Song From The Gully

PAGE ONE / SIX PANELS PANEL ONE: We open on a tight shot of wood sitting on a chopping block (tree stump). PANEL TWO: Same shot as previous panel as an axe splits the wood in two. (1) SFX: CRACK! PANEL THREE: Pull back to reveal ADAM holding an axe. ADAM is a man in his early twenties. His build is slender and unremarkable. His dirty blonde hair is short but messy and his eyes are big and brown. His features are soft, complimenting his boyish good looks. ADAM is standing in a small clearing near a cottage. It is surrounded by forest, lush and green with tall grass and trees over a hundred years old. Past the cottage is a sm

A Late Night For A Walk

PAGE ONE / FIVE PANELS PANEL ONE: We open on a city street in a college town late at night. A young woman (about twenty) walks alone on this warm evening, leaving the busy bar behind her. The woman is very attractive. Long, dark hair and amazing blue eyes. Her lips are poutie and her figure is amazing. She is dressed in blue jeans and a black blouse. PANEL TWO: A man standing outside the bar takes a drag off his cigarette as he watches the girl walk away. The guy is a college student. A big guy with a gruff look. PANEL THREE: A cigarette drop to the sidewal

First time at Anime Expo!

0 min read

Hey guys!  So, for the first time in a long time, I'm attending a convention purely as an attendee.  I think it will be a nice break to go to a con just to enjoy myself and not have it be for work. Anyway, I'm only attending for the one day (friday) to kind of check it out.  I haven't been to an anime convention in many years.  And even then, Fanime , though a lot of fun, wasn't nearly as big as AX looks.  So, if any of you have some advice for things I should be looking out for or avoiding all together, please let me know.  I want to make the most of the one day I'm there. Oh, and if anyone is interested, I'll probably take lots of picture

Wondercon Approaches

0 min read

So, my first convention of the year is looking to be Wondercon in Anaheim.  No table this year, but wandering about and catching up with friends should be good times.  I still wish this show was back up in San Francisco.  It was my excuse to go up and visit every year.  Oh well.  Maybe Image Expo next year. Anyway, who else is going?  What are you looking forward to?  If you've ever had a table at Wondercon while in Anaheim, how was it?  Worth doing?  Let me know. Next update coming...in less than a year.  I promise.
