Elf Blood

Morning/afternoon/post-apocalypse, everyone!

Well, after Monday’s little outburst of non-positiveness (for which I apologise), I’d like to share with you some of the things that have cheered me up this week!

1: I got a lovely message from one of my childhood heroes this week, the wonderful Hunt Emerson, with words of praise for Elf Blood. Hunt has, predominantly, a brilliant slight surreal underground comix art style, and he worked on British comic The Beano when I was younger. I highly recommend finding copies and reading Little Plum, or even picking up a copy of the Fortean Times and checking out his Phenomenonmix page at the back! His kindness put a great big smile on my face, and I’ve felt damn good about the comic all week. Thanks again Mr. Emerson, you’re wonderful!

2: Sleeping Dogs, a new game covering a cop going undercover in the Triads. The thing that appealed to me about this game was that it took place in Hong Kong, so much of what I’ve been doing this week has been Virtual Tourism, spotting where I used to be pushed along in a pram! The story is doing really well too, and you get to genuinely care about the characters as you progress, especially when you realise that they’re only banding together in their lives of crime to supports themselves and stick together as a group of friends, not least because to stand alone means certain death and exploitation by others. It’s so nice to get back to HK, even if only in digital form 😛

3: I’M HAVING PIZZA FOR DINNER TONIGHT, WOO! I do enjoy a bit of pizza.

What’s made your week awesome this week? I want to share your joy 😀
