E3 2015 – Thoughts on the Big Video Game Show: Before #E32015

Packy - Head Llama

  Ever since 1995 there has been E3: the Electronics Entertainment Expo. E3 is a video game industry trade show, for professionals only, primarily used for companies to show off new products, make deals and to impress shareholders. In it’s hey day, E3 was where the big game publishers would make shocking previously unannounced product reveals that would send fans into a frenzy. Now, with the advent of the Internet, and the widespread usage of smartphones and tablets, the big reveals are fewer and farther between. I use to love E3…

Sticky Notes 8 – Wenis Envy

Packy - Head Llama

There’s always going to be some newfangled craze that comes along. It’s hard to keep up with them all. Today, we are going to candidly deal with the growing problem of Wenis Envy. No, you did not read that incorrectly, I said Wenis envy. You know, the loose flesh that bunches up at the tip of your elbow, that’s your wenis.

Retardo Bruce Willis Mad Libs – Original Short Screenplay

Packy - Head Llama

At certain points in time, when my brain won’t wrap around the next portion of what I actually want to write (i.e. my novel that keeps throwing me creative curve-balls), I take a break from trying to squeeze words from the turnip and I turn my attention onto something short and potentially fun to write. It is healthy to give yourself writing challenges frequently, as it promotes fresh thought and it gives you a great reason to keep writing. If you get lucky, sometimes you can even write something that…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Free Enterprise 

Packy - Head Llama

I am a nerd. A nerd of the kind of variety that would make most people say, “dafuq?” I’m that dork that can tell you that Captain America and the Falcon fight Spider-Man in issue 138 before becoming bros and teaming up to defeat Stone-Face. I watch shows like the Middleman and laugh at all of the jokes because I get every single one of the references. So when I heard that there was a movie that would challenge my nerdiness, I knew I had to check it out! Free…

Frank Gallagher, Detective to the Stars: the Oasis Debacle – Original Fiction

Packy - Head Llama

Frank Gallagher, Detective to the Stars: the Oasis Debacle – Original Fiction It was 7:47 in the A.M. when I got the call. Some fast talking professional was jawing their lips ninety to nothing about a stalker bothering their client. I wasn’t a huge fan of idle chatter, so I made like a blade and cut to the quick with this knucklehead. Bottom line: he represented a famous musician from the UK, and wanted my assurance that if hired I would put an end to some super fan that was…

Inspirations & Dreams

Packy - Head Llama

We all have dreams, hopes and desires. Some of us even have the resolve and the sheer force of will to make them happen singlehandedly. Others utilize keen communication skills and networking to build an alliance of confidants and business partners to get us where we need to go. Some of us are late bloomers, having far too many dreams to chase down and absolutely no feasible plan to accomplish any of them, until BOOM, a plan arrives and magically all of the goals get prioritized and attainable. An unfortunate…
