So we just finished a new game with Looney Labs (makers of FLUXX), it's totally different rom anything I've done before and was super fun!<br />
<br />
It's called <a href="https://www.looneylabs.com/games/time-breaker">TIME BREAKER</a> and it's a history-twisting time travel game where you play Time's repairman, trying to pick up the pieces left in the wake of the mysterious crystalline Time Breaker!<br />
<br />
Ok, they don't need me to write new blurbs for the game, I'm here to blab the art!<br />
<br />
We knew that we wanted the art to be very different from anything we'd done before with LL's time travel games Chrononauts and Back to the Future. So after a few tries, I suggested that maybe the perspective of the game should feel atomic-1950's, like the center of time wasn't now/2019 as we always assume. I suggested that the aesthetic should fall somewhere between Shag and Eyvnd Earle. (Google em!)<br />
<br />

1. So, waiting for your whole party to show up before ordering is pretty fucking normal. <span class="Apple-converted-space">The guys weren't doing anything unusual. The</span> fact is, ordering before your whole party arrives is just rude.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
2. Once police saw that that was all that was going on, the officer's job was to take the manager in the back room and tell him: <i>if you call us for this shit again, you'll be the one we're escorting out. <br />
</i></div>
<div class="p3">
<br />
End of story. But it doesn't end, because police decide to stick around where they're clearly not needed (which feels somehow ironic, since they never bought anything). <br />
<br />
How do we know they weren't needed? Because white people in the room were more concerned about the police than the "trespassers".<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p3">
3. And then White Ally shows up and starts yelling. White Allies never understand that that only forces everyone into a situation where the officer now has something to prove. Whether or not they're trained for it, police hate de-escalation. Why? Because they're people, and any person who knows they will win, hates de-escalation. White Ally has no experience with this, doesn't understand that <u>he needs to STFU</u>.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
4. And now we're protesting the chain? This didn't need to escalate to the CEO of Starbucks. He doesn't want to run a racist business, he wants dollar bills from morons of every age, gender, and race. But they protest the chain, because they've protested the police till they're hoarse and police leadership doesn't care.<br />
<br />
(...which is cancerous to a community, but let's never mention that. Leave the police alone, it's a difficult job they were inescapably born into.)<br />
<br />
So yeah! Bring your megaphones and your hashtags and your tv cameras to the coffee shop. It'll be just like high school. Safe and you can be as absurd as you like. Perform some slam.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
5. Manager wrong. Police wrong. White friend wrong. Protesters wrong.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
6. Black dudes kept their cool, went peaceably, and stayed away from the media. They're the wisest of all involved.<br />
<br />
It'd be ironic if it wasn't predictable.</div>
<br />
UPDATE:<br />
The dudes talked, but weren't disruptive. Still good on them. The cops came out and admitted to being wrong. Good on them.

<br />
• If you want to come to this country, you do it the RIGHT WAY, through LEGAL channels!!<br />
<br />
• Why so many HASSLES when a law-abiding citizen wants to buy a gun??<br />
<br />
It's almost as if people want it to be easier to kill an American person than become an American person.abnormalbrainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08498544325933999425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19463601.post-70297174794679837462018-03-26T07:38:00.001-07:002018-03-26T07:43:40.539-07:00THE GREAT LEGO CHASEI love being able to go completely nutso on a project...and these guys really dig when I make their stuff feel like a Mad Max chase.

<div class="p1">
So, when I was a kid, I misunderstood many of the characters in the original Star Wars trilogy.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Obv, they're all aliens, even the humany ones...but some aliens are definitely aliens, like Chewbacca or the Mos Eisley band, but as a kid I thought some of those were like fairy tale metaphors.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Yoda: I thought he was basically human, but he was small and wrinkly with big ears because he was so incredibly old and wise. In my life, old people always seemed to be shrinky with big ears and shabby clothes. He was just the extreme of that, not an altogether different species. Really disappointed when the prequels came out and it turned out he was another species, an unnamed race with few other members ever (barely) shown onscreen.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Jabba the Hutt: He was also basically a human, but he was giant because he was so incredibly greedy and gluttonous.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> Over time he had become his vice.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Darth Vader actually was basically human, but …you know how when you leave a shoe on too long and your foot gets all stinky and weird and pruney? His skin was a mess because he was rotting inside this suit that he depended on. Maybe it helped give him his super-powers, and he was addicted to the power and it made him all rotten on the inside. Instead, he was all burned up and he'd had three limbs cut off with one swipe, physics be damned. After all, he did not have the high ground. <shrug></shrug><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "lyon text" , "georgia" , "times" , serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
Again, I was a kid, the idea of the force-magic wasn’t pre-eminent, and besides, if he’s so good with the force, why don’t you use it to pump your stupid lungs? Walking around in a bacteria-filled hospital bed…oooh it’s black leather? Yeah. You’re gross.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

As a personal project, it needed to be back-burnered repeatedly as my pro work has been unbelievably busy this year. So, I set it up so that it's February-February. Suck it, almanac industrial complex.<br />
