Well, since this place isn't totally dead... and because I finally have a few moments to breathe... plus for those of you who still rely upon LJ for head's up on updates: - For starters, another big batch of random, for those who don't have the time to hunt down such nonsense themselves (sure it's all old links, but I'm betting most are still new to most).

I Should Maybe Update This Cuz I'm Going To SPX And...	[Sep. 10th, 2010\|10:09 am] FortNinety
... LiveJournal is primarily the realm of cartoonists these days, or so it would seem. lol. Anyhow, yeah, I'm going to be at SPX! I'll be selling a slew of awesome Attract Mode related goods, once again. And speaking of, guess what finally went on sale at the store? Yup! Oh, and I finally got my schedule for the New York Comic Con/Anime Fest, am doing something with Eric Zimmerman for Babycastles, and was called a "total ass" in the comments section of Tiny Cartridge!

"MICHAEL, MICHAEL, MICHAEL" & "JOHN MADDEN, JOHN MADDEN, JOHN MADDEN."	[Aug. 26th, 2010\|11:04 am] FortNinety
Hello LiveJournal, my old friend. I know I sound like a broken record, but sorry for not keeping this end updated in tandem with my usual digs. Excuse, excuse, I know, but dead seriously, things have never been crazier. So to prove my point, here's basically what's been going on: - My good pal Joe "Sweet Rot" Simko had his long-awaited book release party/art show! - Also, my buddy dmauro and I went to a Microsoft press thing; played some Kinect plus other stuff. - E3 happened. Was super psyched to hear that Rez 2 was finally happening, plus am jonzing to put MGS: Rising through its paces. I also believe 3DS could be da bomb. - Tried selling some stuff, like my top-loading NES... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=789 - Part 1 of my New York Asian Film Fest 2010 coverage... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=790 - Since it's been a while; some wacky pics I've collected along the way part 1... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=791 - Random image dump part 2... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=792 - Finally saw Faith No More Live! - Sold my modded PS2; got to sing some Bollywood in the process. - Used the money earned to purchase even more stuff. - Jim Lee < <<<<<<<< my girlfriend. - Jizzmoppa cosplay! - And part 2 of my New York Asian Film Fest 2010 coverage (which I have yet to wrap up!)... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=793 - Harvey Pekar passed away. Plus Rocketship closed its doors. Major bummer. - Had a guest appearance in This Spartan Life! - The third installment of my video game zine is now on sale at both Jim Hanley's and Forbidden Planet. - Got my hands on the PlayStation Move and TIME CRISIS FOUR. - Pretty much the greatest YouTube remix of all time. - And highlights from Babycaslte's Indie Game Cosplay Music Video Shoot Machinima Dance (get all that?)... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=794 - Katie and myself went on a double date with Colleen and Travis that ended with Pokemon Snap. - Got a real job! - Was asked to throw another Babycastles show... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=795 - Hung with some pals that I rarely get to see. - Got plenty of awesome press for FORT90 X BABYCASTLES! - My chiptunes piece for EGMi finally went live (about damn time too). - And started writing for the Attract Mode blog... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=796 - The show was a smash success! - Showed Canada's Phil Fish how we do it here in NYC. Including cable access. - Am confirmed to be a speaker at the New York Anime Fest! - And Momohime statue get. - Plus Katie's print finally hit the Attract Mode store... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=798 (did anyone noticed that I skipped a number? it's long and not even terribly interesting story I'm afraid) - Reviewed the Scott Pilgrim movie for GSW. - Hung with another Canadian game dude. - Played Sonic 4. - Saw Halo 3 & LittleBigPlanet, performed as a musical piece. - Rocked out at the Reformat The Planet DVD release party. - Started writing for Heavy.com again. - Am starting up a new, secret project, which will not be a secret very soon. Hopefully. ... Still there? Good, cuz here's the real important stuff everyone: 1. Please help bring indie game goodness to Manhattan!!! 2. And please help me get to Texas so I can share my wacky internet dating hijinks, plus also maybe get a book deal in the end!!! http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=799

“Now Sasquatch Can Play Halo 3!”	[Jun. 10th, 2010\|04:01 pm] FortNinety
What's been shaking? Well, on my end... ... Been quite busy, despite the annoying combo of sun poisoning and a staph infection, which has kept me grounded. http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=786

"This human reminds me of my painful experience with alcohol and candy bar."	[May. 25th, 2010\|12:42 pm] FortNinety
Sup LiveJournal. Remember me? It feels almost silly to be updating this, especially so after the fact; I'd like to think that anyone who actually follows my blog already does so and that these LJ heads ups are ultimately pointless. Then again, I am a completionist by nature, as well as highly narcissistic! So just in case, here's a checklist of all the entries posted since I last showed up. I honestly don't expect anyone to read all of this, especially in one sitting, but if it's a slow workday or something; at the very least, there's plenty of pretty pictures to scroll through: - More about Grand Theft Auto: Jesus Christ... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=774 - Numerous game reviews, including my early call for GOTY... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=775 - Even though its way old news, the big FORT90 X ATTRACT MODE reveal... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=776 - Just a bunch of personal notes. - Plus my take on GDC 2010. - And the usual assortment of game related randomness... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=777 - Again way old news, but did you know that I was literally the second outlet to provide a first look at the Scott Pilgrim video game? http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=778 - Part 1 of my PAX East rundown... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=779 - And part 2... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=780 - My announcement that the third FORT90ZINE would not be at MoCCA Art Fest... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=781 - My MoCCA report. - And a talk show hosted by the lead singer of GWAR... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=782 - Highlights from zine launch party at Babycastles. - Along with my own birthday gathering, plus birthday loot. - Another local game happening, this time at NYU. - And even more random video game goodness... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=784 - Finally, the home stretch: pretty much everything that's gone down the past 2+ weeks, including... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=785 ... Alright, all caught up now!

Tonight There Will Be THREE	[May. 1st, 2010\|04:38 pm] FortNinety
Sup LJ. Been a while, huh? Not sure if anyone here actually goes to my site, independent to the heads up I used to pass along here, but have been slacking on for some time now. Hey, been busy as hell, anyone whose been keeping track should already know! But for those who have not, and are in New York City, got two questions: You busy tonight? And do you enjoy video games, the indie/grungy/totally batshit insane kinds? Well, I've got the party for you! Info can be found here. And I'll be brining with me... http://www.fort90.com/journal/?p=783
