The World Begins With You

HEY EVERYONE! Just as promised, here is the first draft of out new pilot for LAN'ded. It's been made for convenient download HERE as a PDF. I'll also re-link to our "trailer" script HERE!

Tomorrow night is the big trek to New Hampshire, where the LAN'ded creative team will be setting up shop for the summer. What's even more fun is that it'll be the first time that I meet David face to face rather than video chat over the internet! Crazy how we get things done so far away from each other. Just imagine what'll get done when we're all living in the same house!

The rest period in-between graduation and the NH job has been fantastic. First off, Star Trek was probably the best movie I've seen all year. After the disappointing Wolverine, Star Trek was a breath of fresh air that I'm probably going to see again and again if my wallet allows it. On top of that, I finally found the time to complete the game "The World Ends With You" for the DS. I'd be lying if I said the game wasn't superb from top to bottom. From presentation to the themes/messages the game was trying to get across, it was just fantastic. Bravo Square-Enix, bravo. I can't help but compare Neku (from TWEWY) and Christian, funny how inspiration and parallels comes from the most unlikely of places.

As I did last time I was home, I'm leeching internet from a local Panera. I've become one of 'those' people who get food at Panera and leech their Wi-Fi signal for hours. Only today I am not getting food from Panera, I'm instead going to trek (no pun intended) over to BK and get a special commemorative glass with Captain Kirk on it because I'm still reeling from the movie. At this point, I have four LOTR goblets and 2 Star Trek glasses to furnish my Chicago home when I move there and set up shop. I wouldn't have it any other way.

See you guys in 700+ miles!

EXCITING NEW STUFF IS ON THE WAY!

Hey LAN'ders! Aaron here!

Just wanted to drop a line and say that if you want to catch a glimpse of some more writing that's been done for LAN'ded, check back on Monday the 11th! I'll be uploading some pages for everyone to see! Until then, why not check out Star Trek? Early reviews say that beaming up has never been so good.

Live Long & Prosper!

For the record, the Wolverine movie was crap. Jus' sayin'...

Hey everyone!

Wow, I didn't realize so many people were really keeping up with the blog but I must have had 10 people ask me why there weren't any updates in the past week or so.

Well...long story short, I graduated college today and I've had to pack and say goodbyes and this and that. It's been..hectic. But sadly, it's over now and I'm officially a big boy. So hurray for adulthood!

Rest assured, LAN'ded is coming along. I know I keep saying that and we don't have anything to post but the writing process is a very interesting process. One day I'll write for hours and maybe it'll just be the same 5-10 pages over and over, and other days I will just jot down ideas and flesh things out, other days I just watch Ghostbusters. *shrug*

There have been a few new ideas thrown around for LAN'ded's first season though. Some involving religious themes, others involving character changes, and others involving including a wider range of style in terms of humor. One thing we're working on is accessibility. Just because it is made by dorks doesn't mean only dorks should 'get' it.

With alot of the LAN'ded crew making the move to NH for the summer I'm sure the creative juices will replenish and surge again soon. I PROMISE something will surface next week...

Keep LAN'ding

The Next Step...

Wow!  I graduated a year ago... and today another round of graduates will enter the "real world."  In addition to Aaron, there were several other Seniors involved in the creation and production of the LAN'ded reading.  For fear of forgetting someone, I'll just group them all together into one word... Noobs

Congratulations Aaron (and all you other Noobs)!

Welcome to the big leagues...
