THE ALL-PRO Episode #13

Along with the glory of professional sports, there comes the heartbreak of the "final cut," when teams release players that didn't make it on the roster for the regular season. Quentin watches as the Krakens finalize their 2684 roster, and says goodbye to friends and teammates.

Quentin also confronts Don Pine about the Galaxy Sports feature story by Yolanda Davenport, the story that paints Quentin as a villain -- because he's taking the blame for Don's choices. Will Don step up and be accountable?

	Sometimes, Scott gets to do guest appearances on other shows. Sometimes the shows go well, sometimes not so much. Rarely, however, have I ever seen the FDØ™ enjoy himself as much as he did on the NSFWShow (part of the TWiT Network). We've linked to the audio, as usual, but if you have time do set aside an hour and watch the video. Hosts Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young are funny as hell, and the fans of the NSFW show make in-joke art as the show happens that will blow your mind. *Click here to download audio of FridayFix™ Scott on NSFWShow January, 2012* (Disclaimer: no minds were actually blown in the filming of this video)

You think just because the FDØ™ is dizzy from his trip to New Orleans to watch the Wild Card Playoff for the GD Detroit Lions that would mean we have no Sunday content episode? Oh, no no, my friends. That is not how we roll.

In this episode, the Krakens Media Day is here again. And Michael Kimberlin tempts Quentin to learn exobiology of the other races by way of a little holo of what might be the galaxy's most dangerous game.

We're bringing back the Goreline now that we're in 2012 and on the new site! This one's a bit of a catch up, so listen to get up-to-date.

One answer got a bit garbled. I blame Scott's excitement over today's trip to New Orleans. It's regarding the choice of Sklorno names, and how they're a throwback to Old Earth football-centric cities. (That's what got garbled and cut out, so now you have all the info.)

Yes, yes, I know it's not Friday. But it is a special day at the Lair of Døøm! Today is Scott's birthday!

As you will see, he received a commeorative book of photos and stories from the Siglerverse and Siglerfest 2011. The book arrived a bit early, and Scott made the video above to … say thanks. Nice to see that no matter how old he is, he still down-to-earth.

Many thanks to Bruce Press for graciously sharing his photos (most of the shots in the book are his) and to the Junkies who shared their stories of what Siglerism means to them. And mega-awesome thanks to Belladonna420 for her help collecting Junkie stories without tipping off the FDØ™.

Happy birthday Sigler, my good friend, and many happy returns of the day.

GuestGoods: Three questions with artist Len Peralta

Click here to download GuestGoods: Len Peralta

Back with another GuestGoods, this time with artist, friend of DØM, and all-around good guy Len Peralta. Don't know his work? Oh, you will shortly. And you can even grab some for yourself, just like us! (Check us out as Villian vs. Hero below!)

What is GuestGoods?
There are a ton of creative innovators out there, and we think it's cool to share things that Junkies might dig. We're approaching it from the "If you like Scott's stuff, you might like this" perspective. We keep this show short! It's a three-question interview show, and the questions are the same for everyone.

Questions are simple: 1) What's your hot new thing? 2) What's in it for the Junkies? 3) Where can they find out more?

From Len himself:

Thanks to Scott and A for giving me this platform to hawk my wares and basically pimp myself out. I never miss a chance.

A colleague of mine recently compared my approach to art to a “gunslinger”. I found that funny, beca use I have never heard that term in relation to a cartoonist before. As we chatted more, I got a better understanding of what he meant. He meant to say that I just run out there and take chances with my art. I don’t know if a project will end up working o r not, but in the end, it’s worth taking a chance rather than not doing the project at all.

This is especially true of my current art project “50 vs. 50”. As with Monster By Mail (my other original art project), I created it with a specific goal in mind – to get myself to San Diego Comic Con. (Monster By Mail was created to hel[img_assist|nid=5917|title=|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=195|height=250]p pay for heath care costs for the birth of my baby daughter). In the end, I drew 50 villains and 50 heroes and was able to make it to San Diego for the festivities.

Now, in time for Halloween, I’m drawing 50 zombies and 50 apocalyptic survivors for people. There isn’t any specific goal in mind this time around. It’s really just a fun way to celebrate one of my favorite holidays. Folks can order a digital version of the art, or for a few extra dollars, they can get a signed print or even the original pen and ink artwork of their zombie or survivor. All in all, it adheres to my tenant of making commissionable original art for people affordable and cool.

You can check out my heroes and villains gallery at http://www.the50vs50.com. And you can be the first zombie that shambles into the Zombie Gallery. (As of this writing, I haven’t drawn any zombies for this project, so the f ield is open.) You can also check out all my other projects (like my wildly popular nerdy trading card project “Geek A Week” and my avatar creation site Flipface) at my main website http://www.lenperalta.com.

Happy Rapture Day! Before you get beamed up to your magical special place in the sky with Harold Camping, give a listen to these great Goreline calls from Junkies just like you. Warning! If you are offended by the C-word, I suggest you don't listen to this episode.

THIS EPISODE IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK. SERIOUSLY.

There are some calls about Sigler writing paranomral fiction, more info on NOCTURNAL, details on Lacuna Coil and questions about what direction Scott is taking when his current five-book deal with Crown Publishing is up.

Harold Camping says: "These Goreline calls are rapturous!"

FridayFix™: SiglerFest snippet! "Wizard's Duel"

And one more snippet from SigerFest for now. This is one more short story Scott wrote in his senior year of high school, and published in the Young Author's Showcase. You've heard all about Scott's travails on the football field in high school, right? I promise you haven't heard much about this. This one? It has rapping. And wizards.

Again, I'd recommend SiglerFest 2012 if you can make it. It's going to be a grand ol' time fore sure. In the meantime, take a listen to what you missed out on back in May!

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Scott here, adding in a note. This might be the most-embarassing story I have ever created. I wrote this as a senior in high school, when Run DMC, Beastie Boys, NWA, Salt-n-Peppa and Kid-N-Play were ripping off faces all over the world. I'd read some of the SPELLSINGER series by Alan Dean Foster, and felt that hip-hop would be "bitchin' " (I belive that was the word I used at the time) as a poetic form of spell-casting. I'm sure I thought this was fantastic when I wrote it. Enjoy a laugh at my expense.

It's a must-win game against the toughest-possible opponent, the defending GFL champion Jupiter Jacks. Quentin & Co. travel to the Sol System for a pitched gridiron battle in the Jupiter Net Colony. Denver was traded to the Jacks earlier in the season: will she be geared up for payback against the Krakens? If Ionath loses this one, they are back in Tier Two.
