Wordy Ogre Stuff

First off:

This website will be going away soon. Get anything off of it that you want now before it is gone. It should disappear either late July or early August.

So this is it. The last blog post I will ever make.

My “career” as a writer, blogger, and podcaster is over. If there is anything the last year has proven to me, it’s that adding “professional badass” was a conceit that I never should…

Doctor Courage and the Thief of Liberty Part One

Doctor Courage and the Thief of Liberty Part One

  High above Victory City, the mighty airship Justice shined like a star in the noonday sky.

At the back of the Command Deck, Doctor Courage thumbed the controls of his Nega-Comb. Vents opened along the surface of its sleek back surface, releasing the power of a miniature black hole contained within. Courage hummed while he slapped a handful of…

Episode 0029 – We Don’t Need No Stinking Guests

That’s right! Rick and Philip are more than capable of doing the podcast guest-less. So sure, nobody loves us. EVERYBODY HATES US. Think we’ll just eat worms… and talk about METAL because METAL is METAL and METAL makes us METAL. We’re going to talk about some time periods of the best music ever, and bring on the next installment of the Preacher’s Pulpit before tearing into Jewel. Also a bit about…

Doctor Courage and the Valley of the Tiger Women

As promised, the second tale of the heroics of Doctor Courage! Come back next week as I bring you the first new Doctor Courage story in years, Part One of Doctor Courage and the Thief of Liberty!

Doctor Courage and the Valley of the Tiger Women

Foreman Sneed adjusted his ill-fitting miner’s uniform, looking uncomfortable. Courage clapped him on the shoulder, almost knocking the nervous man over.

Episode 0028 – The Service This Industry (Ric Reyes)

Strap in to #16Miles2Hell, the only podcast where you can grab yourself while reading the episode title, and it’s totally appropriate. This week’s episode is extra long and extra strong, because we’ve added an extra dong! Ric Reyes takes his seat in the Action Megabunker and we have a chat going behind the scenes at restaurants and chat about the service industry in general. The Other Rick and…

Doc Courage and the Time Dimension

After several years, I have decided that it is high time for a new Doc Courage story. Some history – this began as a flash fiction challenge on the website of Chuck Wendig, where he dared his audience to write a flash piece using elements from one of his stranger reader comments. This led to the first story, ‘Doctor Courage in the Time Dimension.’ Some time later, on a different website, I wrote…

Last night, I had a dream. A really cool one, one that I retained enough of to turn into a story. Every urge in me wants to jump on it right now, to flesh out some characters, push an outline, and maybe start busting out fresh words as soon as I can.

But I’m not gonna do it.

And here’s why: right now, I am literally swamped in writing projects. I have so much shit to work on, whether writing or…

Episode 0027 – Continental Egress

‘MURICA!

At the height of Election Fever, we at the 16Miles2Hell Mega Action Bunker (located somewhere under Connecticut) realized that we don’t shit about… well, much of anything, but in this case about how our great country came to be! So we reached out to the void and brought forth Miss Bunnie to teach of us history at her magical hutch! Also this week, Philip and Rick discuss random things of…

This is not the post I was supposed to put up today.

The original is still saved and mostly ready to go, the first in a three-part series about running a story-based game. It’s a good post, and one that I can’t wait for you all to read, but I cannot post it today. I am so overcome with emotion right now, and I need to write about that. I need to get this off my chest and put it out there and see…

Episode 0026- Return of the Mack (Pascual Romero)

Better late than never? BETTER PASCY THAN EVER! This week on 16Miles2Hell, Rick and Philip are blown to the side by the triumphant return of former host Pascual Romero, who bends the podcast over his Adonis-like knee and love-spanks it into submission. We talk about music, clubs, Santa Fe, The Trump, The Bern, The Hillary. We also give a toss about the X-Men’s apocalypse, the coming of E3,…

I write funny.

I don’t mean that I have some fucked up stance when writing, like I’ve got no working arms and I have to drape my leg over the shoulder to fingerbang my keyboard, or something. I don’t mean that I pen my shit in Pig Latin, only later running it through Google Translate and hoping for the best.

Though, I may try both of those things.

No, what I mean is that I pen a lot of humor into…

Flashback – The Metal Awakens

Due to injury, we had to cancel the podcast for the week as the progeny of our super-secret guest had to be rushed to the hospital. We here at the Action Mega-Bunker wish the youngun a speedy and painless recovery! The guest shall appear next week, but in the meantime, why not hop back and reflect on the power of METAL, the first episode where Phillip White took over as co-host!

So, it seems like TheBlog is back on track, at least for now. What amazes me is that the Interwebz have not collapsed due to the abundance of frequently updated awesome. What’s strange, though, is that I am not feeling all that overwhelmed right now keeping to the blogging schedule along with the writing and the podcasting… likely because I haven’t been doing much of either of those two things…

By the now, the known world knows that Marvel did a stupid, stupid thing last week. In fact, the Internet seems united behind this, and that alone should give everyone cause for hope that the future of humanity won’t go completely 4-Chan. All we need is the real life equivalent of Steve Rogers to say something completely stupid and totally out of character, and everyone will unite like a…

Ogreviewed – Ark: Survival Evolved

This edition of Noobelite brought to you by Kronos Creative, LLC.

Let’s be straight, I was supposed to be doing a Completely Inaccurate Review this week for the rebooted Doom game, but CIRs are incredibly complicated things to write, and I am really fucking lazy. With that in mind, the good powers that be at Kronos Creative also got me a copy of Ark: Surivival Evolved with the sole provision…

Picking It Up Again

As mentioned throughout some of the posts last week, I have a lot of work on my plate. With Stone Cold Widow off for editing and work outlining The Insignificants ongoing, I also have work for Kronos I need to work on – including a 30 page script which could eventually become a feature length script way down the line. I am committed to making Kronos Media a big deal, and showing Pascual that…

Episode 0025: Ruining the Sheets (Rachel Link)

I have no idea what we were talking about on this episode. I am sure it had something to do with something, but as I sit here writing this, I am drawing a total blank. Why, you ask? Because it was just SO DAMN AWESOME it blew the MEMORY of ITSELF out of my BRAIN and forced me to use CAPS LOCK, or at the VERY LEAST occasionally hold DOWN the SHIFT KEY. Not only that, the first edition of the…
