I was going to have this at CALA last week but I ran out of time, but then I came back and finished it and here it is. CALA was a really great festival, bursting with talented folks and kind fans.

This is the longest Sex Fantasy yet by a wide margin! As always, you can read every Sex Fantasy by perusing this tag here.

Segata Sanshirō Shinken Yūgi

While the Sega Saturn proved unpopular among contemporary American players, the system garnered far more love in Japan. Now a lot of this was because of a strong library of games (few of which were translated for international audiences) and a lack of the mismanagement that characterized the Saturn in the West. However, another reason for its success in Japan may have been because Segata Sanshiro kept the console’s momentum going even in its later years. First appearing on television in 1997, this early Kevin Butler predecessor, with his stern attitude and goofy pompadour, quickly earned the adoration of many gamers.

So it was only a matter of time before he started showing up in video games. Some of these appearances are minor cameos: he made his first (albeit brief) Western debut in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, and more recently shows up as a support unit in Project X Zone 2. But before all that, he made his video game debut in Segata Sanshir? Shinken Yūgi, a compilation of Sanshiro-themed mini-games released toward the end of the Saturn life cycle (less than a month before the Dreamcast’s release). As a marketing vehicle, Shinken Yūgi faithfully captures the Segata Sanshiro spirit. But as a game, its uninspired ideas of what constitutes amusement leave a lot to be desired.

Tina St. Claire, 1984 - 2016.

Tina St. Claire was my friend, a brilliant artist and with all meaning of the phrase, one of a kind.

Tina passed away Wednesday morning, March 9th, 2016 at her home in Los Angeles, California after courageously battling Cancer.  I don’t know how to sum someone’s life or our times together up in any form or fashion, it’s an impossible feat.  But Tina was the genuine article when it came to art and being an incredible person.  We had many adventures in the time we knew each other and she taught me many things from all points of life.  She loved her fiancé Dereck Seltzer who was her collaborator, confidant and beside her to the very end.  She loved her kitten Moogle.  She was never not with a sketchbook and she always had a hilarious quip ready for anything.  She saw the world with a light no one else held or will hold.

I will miss my friend.  Sweet dreams sidekick.

I’ve gathered a number of Tina’s works of art, collaborations with her fiancé Dereck and other miscellaneous images below.  Please take a look and look through her Instagram and Tumblr, she was always, always creating.

Killer Mike On The Importance of Voting

“If white people are just now discovering that it’s bad for black and working-class people in America, they’re a lot more blind than I thought and they’re choosing to be ignorant a lot more than I thought. The same problems we’re discussing today we discussed in 1990, 1980, 1970 and 1960.“

“Bernie Sanders is the only politician who, consistently for 50 years, has taken that social justice platform into politics. Right now we have an opportunity to elect someone who is directly out of the philosophy of [Martin Luther] King-ian nonviolence. We can directly elect someone who cares about poor people; cares about women, gays, blacks, whites; cares about lives that don’t look like his. This opportunity in history is not going to come in another 20 years. If we don’t take this opportunity right now, we’re going to be sitting around the campfire mad because they’ve nuked the world to hell.”
