Dueling Analogs: Gaming Web Comic

I added a large, untainted version of the cover from the first book of the outer circle to my deviantART site. You should definitely check it out.

Through my Twitter account, fellow Twitterites and myself have created the ultimate web developer/action movie.

It’s called Position:Absolute. It’s about z-index, played by Sylvester Stallone, a web developer who gets fired for supporting other browsers besides IE. The villain of the story would be Strikethrough, played by Jeremy Irons, who stole z-index’s code, had him fired and forced the entire web department to only support IE. Strikethrough’s sidekick Scope Creep would be played by Jack Black. Mos Def would be the token #000000 guy, named mos:def;. And Alyson Hannigan would play the spunky love interest of the story named Fire Fox.

This is also open to be part of a trilogy with Position: Fixed being the second part where z-index has been commissioned by FBI to stop a bunch of IE hacks (z-index’s FBI agent point of contact with would be played by Samual L. Jackson) and the final chapter, Position: Relative, would be about z-index’s son having to clear his dad’s name after he is wrongfully imprisoned.

Also, all the web development transition scenes would look like the hacking scenes from Hackers.

“This summer, Stallone is going to paint the town #FF0000! Rated R for violence and pwnage.”

This is pure Action-Blockbuster-Gold. I just have to wait for Hollywood to come calling.

Gordon McAlpin, the genius behind Multiplex, is also the mastermind behind Movie Make-Out. Movie Make-Out is a movie review/news blog. I follow Gordon on Twitter and have been keeping up with Movie Make-Out for a while now. Worth checking out.

I forgot to mention when Greg Eales’ guest strip went up that he is doing all the cover art and character designs for a new fantasy book series called The Saga of EverWing. The first book is called EverWing and is currently available on Amazon.com. The second book is called Vanished and will be out sometime after April. And here’s a link to the official site.

I’ve been meaning to plug this for a long time now, but I’m finally getting around to it now. Comedity, by Garth Graham, has come to an end. And in it’s place Garth has launched a new comic: Finder’s Keepers (I need to update my links page). So for long-time Garth Graham fans or Garth Graham virgins alike, your new home for Garth Grahamatude is Finder’s Keepers. Definitely worth checking out.
