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…

Ten Tunes Terrific for Tuesday – Vol. 1

Packy - Head Llama

I thought I might try a little something different for A/V Tuesdays, and so I’ve put together a selection of songs that should help make your day better. They’ve worked wonders for mine thus far. No fancy set up, just one basic description – all of these songs are amazing. Open your mind and your ears for these groovy tracks: 40 Day Dream by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes Remains by Spacehog Aerodynamic by Daft Punk Strict Machine by Goldfrapp To Me by Dayplayer Girl by Beck Kilojoules by…

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…

Until Dawn – How Deep Does the Rabbit Hole Go?

Packy - Head Llama

  Earlier this week I spoke at length about the style of video game that I prefer to play currently. By and large I’m all about playing games that give you a lot of decisions to make, ranging from dialogue options to actions taken to how I’m allowed to react to situations. In researching my earlier blog post, I discovered this hidden PS4 exclusive game that had just been given a fresh release date of August 25th. Until Dawn is a survival horror video game that allows you to control…

Road to Nerfed Llamas 3 – Dr. Love Groove #nerfedllamas

Packy - Head Llama

The road is drawing closer to a conclusion and final preparations are being made. I’m hoping to launch my full fledged Nerfed Llamas comic in early June, likely as a regular weekend post: I’m thinking Sundays sound good. I may need another week or so, but rest assured the new web comic will be ready very soon. Today we have the update to the character Dr. Love Groove, initially conceived of as an impish sort of character, he’s been remade to be a modern millennial vampire. Kind of an Eddie…

Bob Returns a Video Tape to Blockbuster – Original Fiction

Bob Returns a Video Tape to Blockbuster – Original Fiction “It was as humid as hell,” Bob thought gently to himself as he lay horizontally in his recliner, bathed in only his own sweat. The ceiling fan was rocking from side to side in a violent rhythm that made it seem as if it had just snorted a line of coke (not the delicious beverage), but the cool wind generated by these gyrations weren’t enough. Not only was it hot, but the air was filled with the outstanding aroma of…

Dr. Gamelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Video Games Again

Packy - Head Llama

Dr. Gamelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Video Games Again I’ve been bored as of late. Bored of video games. I have been a gamer for the vast majority of my life, starting with a Sears edition Atari 2600 in the early 80s, graduating to Nintendo Entertainment System in the late 80s, and then eventually most major console releases that followed. I have loved playing games, from classics like Combat, River Raid, Super Mario Brothers and Metroid, to more modern titles such as Mass Effect, Catherine,…

The Unrefined: A Fodo Finish – Original Fiction

Packy - Head Llama

Head count: 8 people in the convenience store. 3 teenage male Caucasians by the soft drink fountain, 2 Latina twenty-somethings at the counter getting ready to buy cigarettes, an older Asian male browsing the snack options, an Arab male assigned to cash register duty, and 1 adult white male by the ice machine. The man guarding the ice box surveys the store one last time, just to be sure before he starts. The Latinas are giggling and making fun of the convenience store clerk in Spanish, believing that he cannot…
