What should be NX(t) for Nintendo? #NX #openletter #Nintendo

Packy - Head Llama

This is an exciting time to be following Nintendo hype and speculation. Back in March of this year, the big N announced that it was developing a new gaming platform code named the “NX.” Not a whole lot is known about the NX, but we have gotten a few nuggets of truth from Nintendo: The NX will use a new unified operating system that will be utilized across multiple form factors (essentially meaning that the OS would be the same for multiple systems: dedicated consoles, gaming handhelds and other mobile…

Once in a Lifetime: Chapter 2 – I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar

Packy - Head Llama

*** A brief note from the author: Your about to read the first draft of the second chapter of a novel I have been working on for awhile now (started it during NaNoWriMo 2 years ago, and now it’s nearly finished!). ** it may be beneficial to read Chapter 1 first ** The concept is simple, Maverick McCormick wakes up without a memory in his head. Desperate to figure things out, his memories start to come back to him, but are they in fact his memories? Is he really this person? What you are…

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions #NaNoWriMo

Packy - Head Llama

I have a decision to make. A rather tough one. I have 2 ideas that I am outlining for the upcoming NaNoWriMo event in November. Both are sound ideas, but in the immortal words of the Highlander, “there can be only one!” At least there can be only one that I use as my NaNoWriMo novel. In case you missed my other post on the matter, or this is your first time reading my blog, I will be participating in the NaNoWriMo event this year. What is NaNoWriMo? According to…

  It’s that time of the year again. National Novel Writing Month is starting in November and I will be participating in the NaNoWriMo challenge. During this event you are challenged to write 50,000 words towards an original novel project. It takes discipline and a lot of creativity to get it done. I have completed this challenge once before, and I’m looking to do it again this year.  I would like to invite you to join me on this challenge. You see, you can have writing buddies during the event, and…

Ten Tunes Terrific for Tuesday – Vol. 4 #TTTT #HipHop

Packy - Head Llama

On occasion I like to get down with a bit of ye olde Hip Hop. Here is a modest selection of the choice beats and rhymes in which I like to utilize for the aforementioned getting down. Now in Apple Music playlist form as well: Listen to TTTT Vol 4 – Hip Hop by Packy on @AppleMusic Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five – It’s Nasty (Genius of Love). A classic track with fantastic samples and super tight rhymes – this is the definition of Old School. This track, and a…

I apologize for the lapse in new content. Real life, work, family, a car crashing into the rear of my own vehicle, my first ever surgery, job hunting, and other new endeavors have all played a heavy part in my decision to take a month off. The good news? What I just said above was the bad news, so it’s all good news going forward! I will be posting new content tonight as well as tomorrow and I do not anticipate any further disruptions anytime soon. I prefer writing, creating and sharing…

A Very Very Short Story – Original Fiction #horror

Packy - Head Llama

* As a brief kindness to the reader, it may be valuable for you to read the following “A Very Very Very Very Short Story” and then “A Very Very Very Short Story.” It is ultimately your choice, however; they are directly connected to the tale that you are about to read, and as their titles suggest – they are exceptionally short reads. Regardless, enjoy this miniature tail of the macabre. * Gopal woke up of his own accord in a darkened room. He allowed his eyes a brief respite to adjust to the…

Best Albums You’ve Never Heard Of: David Duchovny #HellOrHighwater

Packy - Head Llama

Best Albums You’ve Never Heard Of: David Duchovny #HellOrHighwater A while back I wrote a piece on Robert Downey Jr’s 2004 foray into the music scene: “The Futurist“. I enjoyed its blunt honesty and sincere delivery from the acclaimed thespian, as well as the jazz/pop standard stylings of the music. During that time, I had heard that David Duchovny had recorded an album as well, but just stored that little nugget away for a later date. A week ago, I finally listened to a couple of the tracks from Duchovny’s…

I Only Want the Things I Cannot Have… Growing up in the days before the proliferation of the Internet, I didn’t concern myself with the minutiae of the status of entertainment projects. Much like the hefty majority of the world, I enjoyed the content that was available and didn’t say much more than “aw man!”, whenever a TV show I liked got cancelled, or when James Cameron didn’t get to make his Spider-Man movie back in 1992 (although it appears we may have dodged a massive bullet on the latter).…

Sticky Notes 12 – #Bernillary

Packy - Head Llama

Hillary Clinton is in ten different shades of trouble what with how this whole email kerfluffle is spiraling out of control. Bernie Sanders is gaining ground on Mrs. Clinton, but does anybody really want the man of perpetual bed head (his one true superpower) to become our next President? (The answer is no, in case you got stuck there) The gang at Sticky Notes have a solution to both of their problems, or maybe they’ve just concocted even more problems for these wacky Democrats. Either way, you’ll never be able…
