    In Defense Of Transmedia

    February 23rd, 2010 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 48 Comments

    Some weeks back, I mentioned transmedia, blah-blah-blah, and someone asked, “Hey, something-something transmedia?” And I was all like, “Shit yes I can talk about that!” Then I probably fell asleep.

    February 13th, 2010 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 16 Comments

    As it stands, the only thing I know right now about The Olympics is that the mascots are pretty goddamn adorable. I mean, c’mon. The lumbering sasquatch, Quatchi? The “sea bear” (which I assume translates to “seal”), Miga? The ambiguous animal mash-up that is the “animal spirit,” Sumi? Then you have the poor little bastard, [...]

    Story Vs. Plot, Ghost Vs. Bones: Discuss

    February 3rd, 2010 | The Ramble | terribleminds | 27 Comments

    I am ever on a quest to understand the dichotomy of plot versus story. Which is which? Which serves what purpose? Who stole my Girl Scout cookies? Was it you? Did you take my fucking cookies? I’ll stab you in the gills, Aquaman! *shakes it off* At present, this is the definition to which I’m [...]
