Deadman's Tome Podcast Recap 11/3/2017

WCM: Another great show, this time around. Kris McFadden,  aka: Tha Pessimist, joined in with the jest fest. This time he toned it down a few thousand notches from the previous times he'd been on. 

 JD: Tha Pessimist only toned down because of the sheer power of Tony Robbins. Tony was the real star of the show. 

 WCM: We tried to get through some news and an article about what makes editors reject stories, but ultimately kept drawing back to conspiracy theory topics and Kris. 

 JD: True, we tried to go over somethings like David Farland's ten reasons why your story will get quickly rejected, but that topic took a backseat for conspiracy theories. Tha Pessimist came on wanting to talk about Halloween conspiracy, so my good friend Tony Robbins came in to assist with a thorough exploration. 

 WCM: We even made a small show for the middle of the week with Kris, and it ended up going almost an hour. Kris just has that charisma. 

 JD: Aww, yes. Kris Tha Pessimist stayed around to shoot the shit and became a live reporter for a crackhead street fight. The Pessimist is one of the main players at Real Vision Radio and is a cool cat. He shared a very deep story with us during the second show, which will drop on Wednesday. 

 Outro: Next week, JONATHAN MABERRY, a New York Times best-selling and five-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author, anthology editor, comic book writer, magazine feature writer, playwright, content creator and writing teacher/lecturer, will shoot the shit with Mr. Deadman and Dynamite Marchese. Jonathan Maberry was named one of the Today’s Top Ten Horror Writers, and his books have been sold to more than two-dozen countries. With that in mind, Jonathan seems like a good person to explore variouas aspects of the industry, inlfuences, and, of course, why the fuck did Captain America become a Hydra Mole?

The Brightest Flame

The brightest flame burns quickest. Or like Lao Tzu said originally "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long."  Sounds about right. You push too hard and you burn out. There you go. Burn. Candles.  Get it?  Well, it's true. Pushing yourself to achieve a goal is a good thing, but to over exert one's self is not.  It's not only disaster that can take place, but total burn out--and then it's just not as fun.  A little extra work never killed anyone, until you take it too far, you neglect your family, life.  Yes, you're doing more, but now your spouse despises you. Your kids don't know you, and you may be getting sick.  Now it's too late. You've gone and pushed yourself to the limits. And in the interim you've neglected a lot of things. Probably even your health.  Now you're sick, about to cash in your ticket. And you look around. What did it get you?  Your kids are grown a bit, maybe spouse left you. You

The Local Spirit Halloween Store Popped Up Again

Image
I recently stopped into a Spirit Halloween store to check on something Halloween  related and it was all decked out with ghoulish goodness. The year has gone by fast, and it fast-forwarded to the best time of the year in my opinion. The leaves change color, a chill in the air. The holidays are just around the corner.  Take it slow. Try to savor these moments. And if your time of the year is summer, try to savor that, too. When you can.  This Spirit store usually rents the space out annually. Back in 1999, Spencer Gifts acquired Spirit Halloween. Spencer Gifts is a novelty store that you can find in a lot of malls. They do mail order and have those nifty gadgets and gifts you can't find just anywhere. I always used to remember them for posters, musician t-shirts, and lava lamps.  There are some great decorations at Spirit. I always love how freaky these things are. What they represent. Old horror tropes and stories that take shape in the screwed-up, twisted faces on the frightful la

Dying Light -- Will's Nintendo Switch Review

Image
It's been quite a while since I last immersed myself in the world of Dying Light. I originally played this gem on the PS4. There's a special place in my heart for the horror genre. As there is for video games. Both are a great escape from the insanity that is life. And horror brings you to the realization that sometimes life can be just that. Horrific.  Here enters Dying Light on the Switch.   As the sequel to this franchise has recently debuted on next-gen systems, its predecessor was released on the Switch not too long ago. Say what you will about Nintendo's system, to play these blockbuster games natively on a portable, and not through Playstation's remote play, is an amazing feat. I remember playing Dying Light on my Vita through Remote Play, and of course there was a hit in the graphics and frame rate department, so this looks leaps and bounds better than that experience--which was still great even for what it was. Everything I remember is here, and I could be wron
