"The Ambassador of Funk."

Happy?

Just Adventure just posted an interview with me. It's not very revealing, and I'm being Funny (which is always, always irritating), but it's got a few choice nuggets of information...if you dig deep and read between the lines. I was supposed to do this interview a couple of weeks ago, but since I knew what was happening, I put it off until it coincided with the press release. And Just Adventure ends up with a juicy exclusive. We're not going to do any interviews in the near future (I think), nor are we releasing much information about the second Journey - or our new, top-secret online world - until the time is right, and the stars have aligned.

By the way, notice how the press release mentions "a sequel to The Longest Journey". I just want to point out that, technically speaking, it's not a sequel: it's part two of the TLJ saga. A 'sequel' implies no planning or forethought; a 'product' produced to cash in on the success of the original; a pale copy. When someone says "sequel", I think "Men in Black II, Lethal Weapon 4, Halloween...Infinity". The next game in the TLJ series will be sooo much more than that, so much more than a mere sequel. It will trigger a revolution. It will change the world. Oh yeah.

Also, it will be a damn fine game. But, hey, isn't that a given?

The bad thing about all this is that I've pretty much ruined any possibility of a social life for the next few years. What with TLJ and...other stuff...and my personal projects, I'm as swamped as a thing that lives in a swamp and has lots and lots to do.

Talking about personal projects; I just submitted the loglines and pitches for "Seven Rules", "In the Dark Places", and "Flipside" - three scripts that I'm spending my evenings, nights, and weekends working on - to something called the Screenplay Bank. It's a service open only to alumni from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts (like myself) to get scripts listed and sent to agents, production companies, producers, studios...you name it. I'm trying to get an agent - maybe even a script sale - but I'll settle for getting read. Fingers crossed and all that.

Right, then. Bed. And, by the way, thanks for all the e-mails! I appreciate it. Good to know that TLJ still has a following! Ooh, on that note, before I forget, check out one of the best TLJ sites out there. Hopefully, they'll stay with us through the development on the "sequel to TLJ", and help build the community: The Divide. They're worth a read any time of the day. Or night.  ¶ 23:24
