But how could anything be more terrifying than a duck?

Space aliens among us

Pixy says:

I have a natural wake-sleep cycle of about 28 hours. Left to my own devices, I'll go to bed and wake up about four hours later every day. Which means that once a week I sync up with the rest of the world.

Obviously this means Pixy's ancestors evolved on a planet with a longer day/night cycle.

Explains a lot, doesn't it?

UPDATE: I wonder if Pixy can become a super-saiyajin?

Wonderduck's internet connection is down.

I just received an email from Wonderduck saying his internet connection went out Sunday morning, and hasn't been repaired yet. He isn't sure when it will get fixed, and the powers that be don't seem to be in any hurry to fix it.

Bad news

Chizumatic friend Ubu Roi has suffered a stroke. That's always a very bad thing, but it sounds like it isn't as bad as it could have been. Here's hoping for a full recovery!

He's awake, he knows who he is, he knows who we are, and he knows who Marika is. So there's hope.

PDB: Subject shift

PDB used to run a game store, and blogged about the more "interesting" clients he had. But that ended in August and now he's got an honest job. Because he doesn't feel comfortable blogging about his employer, posts have fallen off quite a lot.

But now he's got a new subject to cover, one that should be even more interesting than obnoxious-customers-at-a-video-store.

Attn Ubu Roi

Something has happened to your password stuff. I can't leave comments now. I'm told I'm not logged in, and when I tried to log in using the last password I was sent, it bounced. So I had it mail me a new one, and that one didn't work either.

Beckoning Chasm, this one's for you!

UPDATE: Man, the 3D episode sure is dark. People die, and there's blood, and body parts, and not a lot of laughs. Sheesh!

It looks like it is the beginning of a series, but of course there was never any more of it. I would guess it was a pilot and they decided against further funding.

I think I can understand why. Doing a road-story in 3D would be painful. You would completely overload your model makers and scene creators; there's simply no way you could turn out one episode per week. And as the story was presented, there would only be three continuing characters. You'd have to come up with models for major guest characters and crowd characters for each episode. It couldn't be done on that kind of schedule without a ridiculously large staff of 3D artists, and there's no way they could put together a team like that. The people just don't exist in the industry. Not yet, anyway.

As I was watching the anime, and even more when I was watching the 3D episode, I got flashes of Dai Mahou Touge, the black comedy in which the the world of bunny-rabbits and flowers of a magical girl is a thin veneer on top of a world of horrors and pain and suffering. We see at least a few hints of that in the Magical Play anime, and they don't make any bones of it in the 3D episode. Only they're not playing it for laughs. The 3D episode is only about two steps away from being a horror show.

Forever will the dark side rule you. Or maybe not.

Wonderduck has come into the light. Pixy switched him over to Minx.

Literally. His old page was dark background; his new one is light background. MUCH better...

Caption contest

Wonderduck is running a caption contest for a fan service picture. Surely your interest is piqued by that?

UPDATE: While I'm just tossing weird links around, here's a creepy one. The last episode of the series School Days got yanked at the last minute and was replaced by 28 minutes of scenery shots, things like German castles.

Why? Well, probably because it involved some sort of bloody murder, and yesterday in RL a Japanese school girl murdered her father with an axe.

I think that series is off my list, regardless.
