How I Make Hank

2009-06-28T21:04:00.000-07:00

I have always doodled. Because I use Photoshop and Illustrator, I am able to scan line

drawings that I draw on anything that is near at the time, trace the main parts and then go from there with the tablet.

In the last year or so,I have gone back to sketching on paper because it is less rigid

and more natural than drawing on the tablet. Anyway, an example of what I mean from a quick promo I did for my submission Hank and the Wicked Cool Video Game.

Where did Hank go?

Hank's Box

2009-06-14T20:52:00.001-07:00

Last night, I had a dream that I traveled through space to another planet. It was so real

that I woke up expecting to be there still.

I am so not about seeing anything of significance in my life, as I know that the course of it has been determined. I am a nameless terrified cog in the little machine in the corner...just chug along and do your thing....and leave!! I am Bank Of America's Wet Dream...pay the fee, pay the fee...

...PAY THAT f#@%^NG FEE!!!....and don't ask questions.

But you know what??? I don't think it was a dream... I met someone when I was there....

...and I think that I must Google him and start to find out what the hell that was all about!!! Cas you know what??

I am wide awake and it wasn't a DREAM!!!

.....Oh well...another beer and Galactic War.

The Soldier Has Emailed Me Again

2009-06-12T11:08:00.000-07:00

Today I received another email from "The Soldier" and the picture he sent me freaked me out after I saw it..... He said That he knew the kid

in the photo...another Soldier. Is this the Middle Planet?? Is this a...

...picture of a battle from there?

A Soldier's Email

2009-06-06T18:39:00.000-07:00

Another email that I received tonight....

I have no idea....I am just posting it.

Who are The Lost Boys

2009-06-06T12:22:00.000-07:00

This morning, I was checking my email and I received this.

Is somebody out there having a lot of fun with my head?

2009-06-01T20:36:00.000-07:00

Me And Mel

A Picture From Another Planet?

2009-05-20T21:12:00.000-07:00

This was emailed to me from an anonymous person.
The person who sent it claims it is a cell phone picture taken
of a Big Planet robot …..on THE MIDDLE PLANET!! I have
no idea….but it don’t look like the game…which I know well.
The person who sent it to me identified themselves only as...
…….A Soldier.

Is there a secret message?

2009-04-29T20:21:00.000-07:00

Somebody had left a message that there was some hidden stuff in the credits section of the Galactic War manual.So, last night over a few frosty ones and the Red Sox and Celtics game, I started to take a look at the manual. What did I find you may ask? Take a look and tell me what you think? I would say that there is something to this........

Wicked Weird!

2009-04-05T21:27:00.000-07:00

I just pissed my pants. Is that the dude I saw in the sky?

Another One Seen In The Sky Over The Mall

2009-03-31T21:06:00.000-07:00

So, outside my work last night, I look up and see another frigging weird UFO zooming right over an apartment building near the store. Mel did not see this as he was inside the store at the time.Oh, by the way, I heard another rumor that the "secret" level in the game has something to do with space. How freaky is that?? Hello, anyone else seeing this stuff???

Looking For Shell Beach

2009-03-28T20:39:00.000-07:00

Ok, so I’ve basically told you in my blog that I have
never really had much motivation to do much more than
eat, sleep and play video games, and that’s about it.
When I got older, I discovered beer and my motivation for
for striving for a little more from life lessened as the haze
of a alcohol buzz warmed me daily. Life is bliss if you
don’t know anything else.

It’s not that I don’t or didn’t have dreams, It’s just that I have
always found it hard to find the energy to do something about it.
Needless to say, I did not do very well in school. Living in the latest cool
video game, comic book or Sci fi movie wasn’t my goal, it was just
a lot easier than doing the work. I know, it’s pathetic, but at least
Its honest.

I was the geek that they picked on, that sat at
the front of the bus, and who said very little to anyone. For anybody
Who knows Charlestown MA, those are some long bus trips. The
other geeks were my friends.

Anyway, back to my point.

Ever since I can remember, I loved science fiction movies.
When I was a little kid, they used to show a double feature
on Saturday afternoons of all the science fiction and monster
movies from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. I just sat and ate them up.
I didn’t care that it was the middle of summer and all of my friends were out playing
sports and running around. I actually didn’t have a lot of friends growing up and
I always felt that I was different from most kids anyway. And most kids made
me feel odd as I wanted to be whisked away to the next planet
to do battle with the fiendish alien or monster and protect the damsel
In distress. Maybe, this week, the earth was under attack, and it was up to
a lone scientist to figure out a way to save our planet. Or, how about that swamp creature
that came out of the muck and terrorized the locals in town. There was always a girl to
save, and she was always hot. And in my world, I was always the hero.

Between movies, my prized comic books and later, video games, there was little else that
mattered as the “real world” was unpleasant. And as I got older, with puberty assaulting my very core, I fell back further out of touch and retreated back into my world. I was more interested in
girls for “other” reasons, but “real” girls scared me, while the women in comic books and movies were “OK.“ You can only imagine how happy I was when Tomb Raider came out.
My world was safe now, as I controlled and protected my bubble and who I let in. Mel
McCarthy, my friend since junior high and fellow geek member was one of the few I
Allowed in. We shared all of the same interests and we know what to expect from each other.
We even work at the same electronic retailer on the North Shore. I do kind of have an on again off again relationship with a girl named Trish from My work. At first it was fun because she was kind of a geek like Mel and me, but as time goes on it seems she is getting a little tired of me and my
Life in my bubble.

I know I have a purpose, I’m just not sure what it is.

What about Shell Beach?

Dark City is one of the greatest Sci Fi movies ever made. I was eighteen years old when Mel and I saw it and it changed the way that I viewed my silly little life. I’m not kidding.
For those of you who have not had the pleasure of this great movie, let me explain the
basic premise:
A man wakes up naked in a bath tub and has no memory of who he is and how he got there.
He is in a city that is always dark and for some mysterious reason, every night at the stroke of
Midnight, everybody in the city falls asleep, except for him. To make matters worse, he is
apparently the prime suspect in a series of murders. There are also these very odd looking dudes called “The Strangers” who can fly around the city and are the reason that people all fall asleep. They are of course doing something that is not very good. One of the key elements of the
story is that the main character needs to get to Shell Beach to find answers about who he is
and what has happened to him. The really strange thing about Shell Beach is, everyone he asks
has heard of it, but no one seems to remember how to get there. The character is convinced that
If he could just get there, then all his questions would be answered and all would be well.

I know I have a purpose…I just need to find my Shell Beach.

THE PAAK PHOTO

2009-03-17T21:10:00.000-07:00

Me, at Fenway Park...I do go out once and awhile.

I KNEW I WAS RIGHT!!

2009-03-17T13:38:00.000-07:00

I knew it!! This was in the paper on Monday.
I was starting to think that I was going crazy!!

Please Tell Me That's Superman In The Sky!

2009-03-15T19:20:00.000-07:00

What the hell is going on in the sky lately?? So today I'm walking back to my apartment,

when I see what looks very much like a person flying up into the clouds above!! First UFOS everywhere,,,,now people flying!!

Someone please message me back and let me know that you saw this too,cas I'm starting to get kinda freaked by all of this. Oh, by the way, I

took a photo of it on my phone....

Am I High Or What?

2009-03-11T14:16:00.000-07:00

Ok, So this is getting a little freaky. I’m standing out side my work last
night on my break when I see some more weird stuff in the sky. It made
no sound and was moving very fast. Am I high or did anyone else
see crazy stuff in the sky near the North Shore Mall?

Another Monday with......Snow!!!!

2009-03-09T14:36:00.000-07:00

Another weekend, another failed attempt at finishing the coveted level in
Galactic War. Ok, so on Sunday it was like frigging 65 degrees and what
do we have today…..More Snow!!! ARRGGHHH!!!!! Last night I got an
email from a dude who plays in the same arena in Galactic War
as Mel and I who says he has some more info on the stories of people who have
disappeared after finding the secret level in the game. Will let you know.
Well, it’s time to go to get my beer and call Mel.

Here it is, Proof!!

2009-02-28T21:11:00.000-08:00

Remember how I had written before that there were rumors
on the Internet about people disappearing after finding the
“secret” level in Galactic War? Voila, Dudes, CHECK THIS
OUT! IS THAT FREAKY OR WHAT?

This is it!!

2009-02-25T13:24:00.000-08:00

The greatest game that was ever created!! This
game has changed my life!!

Ok, So what the hell was it?

2009-02-24T11:37:00.000-08:00

February 23,2009
Ok, So yesterday Mel and I were getting a ride from a friend
of ours up to the North Shore to go work yesterday on
Route 128. It was cool cas usually we have to take the friggin train
which is a pain in the ass. Anyway, we’re driving along and we spot
something wicked weird in the sky. It seemed to be moving pretty fast
but I managed to get a few shots of it on my camera phone before it disappeared. I don’t know
what it was, but one thing I do know is it wasn’t a plane. Did anyone else

out there see this? Oh, by the way, worked
sucked, and I had to play Galactic War by myself cas Mel had the craps and
had to split.

Hit the packy!!

2009-02-21T08:42:00.000-08:00

Look, I’m not going to lie to you, I don’t have a lot of motivation.
I lead a very simple life. I am from Charlestown,which is a part of
the city of Boston Massachusetts, which is where I was born and grew up.

I am twenty eight years old and I live in a one room apartment very close
to the Bunker Hill monument, a big phallic stone obelisk commemorating
the first major battle of the American Revolution. Oh, and by the way, I do
say wicked and drop most of my (R’s) from my words, so let’s just leave the
jokes right there, OK?

I do not spend much time pondering about what I should do in my life. I
pretty much live in the moment, and to be honest, most of my moments are spent
drinking beer and playing video games. To be more specific, one video game, “Galactic
War On The Middle Planet “, which I play online, with my bud Mel, in the large arena known as “The Three Planet System”. The details of this game I will get into on a later blog.The
very cool thing about this game that I can tell you about is that there is a rumor of a secret
level in it, and it’s not just any secret. There are stories on the Internet about how
there have been several people who have disappeared from the face of the earth after finding this secret level in the game. Nobody knows where they went.

Mel and I think that it’s just a publicity stunt by the company who made the game to sell more product, but there are others who insist this secret level does exist. Mel and I have dedicated our life to saving the middle planet from the big leader and entering this “secret” level.
Let’s hit the packy, Cas it’s time to do battle on the middle planet!!
