Fancy yourself a screenwriter?

Amazon has started a project called Amazon Studios. They are looking to produce movies, tv series, etc., and using community participation to not only create content but help make it better. It looks exciting to me, that’s for sure! Take a look for yourself and let me know what you think…

TuacaCon moving…

TuacaCon 2011 – Charity Element…

TuacaCon 2011

Good morning, P.G. Holyfield here. TuacaCon is a virtual convention that I started last year.

You know how in “The Princess Bride” Miracle Max says “It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead.”? Well, this promo is “MOSTLY” safe for work. The worst bits are bleeped, but it’s still pretty NSFW (just like Game of Thrones), so be careful how loudly you play it. If you [...]

Westeros on Twitter
