Here's another great interview, with Masami Shimotsuma of NOW Productions. There's some great behind the scenes info on Splatterhouse 2 and 3 in it. splatterhouse.kontek.net/shimotsuma-i...

Next, everybody's favorite, Chef Bernie, invites you to go

This was a great interview. If you've never read it, now's a good time! splatterhouse.kontek.net/oda-intervie...

@kayhanley.bsky.social I know you don't know me, but I wanted to thank you for not only the music over the years, but also for a brief interaction we had in the mid '90s. Saw LTC perform at the Daytona Beach Bandshell, and afterwards, I saw you heading down the beach with some other folks.

All's been quiet on the nothingman front, hasn't it? There is a reason for that. I'm hip-deep in editing. Currently my editor and I are halfway through the book, and when they're not around, I'm scouring the chapters we haven't touched yet for stuff I can spruce up, etc.

#HorrorWritersChat I'll post this in the comments too, but if anyone wants to see what I've written about Splatterhouse, you'll find it all here: splatterhouse.kontek.net/fanfic.html

#HorrorWritersChat I do my best to give people what they least expect, and may not even want, but by then it's too late and they're already hooked. World building and engaging journeys, to use two of the given examples, play a big part in that.

#HorrorWritersChat So I'm trapped in a horror video game. I slowly open my eyes. What just happened? Why am I alone? Wait. The scream I heard. Where is she? There's something on my face. Cold, heavy. There's a voice, inside my head, urging me to slaughter everything until I find her. Oh, no.

#HorrorWritersChat I would write a novel based on an existing horror game. Which one? Splatterhouse. Why? Because it hasn't been done yet. What would I do? Create a solid foundation with all of the existing lore and build off of that, while still remaining true to the story of the original game.

I may be disqualified for this. #HorrorWritersChat I am Rob, aspiring writer. Usually Splatterhouse fanfiction, although I haven't in a while. Take a wild guess. Go on, I dare you. Oh, did you say Splatterhouse? You're wrong, it's actually the original Castlevania. HA! (but seriously, it is)

All this negative gaming news got you down? Why not take a trip through the past, when games were nothing but physical, consoles didn't cost almost $1k, and you got the whole game in your hands on day 1? Relive those days with my book Memoirs of a Virtual Caveman! www.lulu.com/shop/rob-str...

If anyone needs me, I'll be on The Third Moon, probably talking to myself.

I don't care what anyone says, this has been one of my favorite movies since I first saw it on VHS an eon ago.

"Show me a cool physical game" What? WHAT?

December 1989: You love shooters. You want to get one of the new consoles that was recently released. You've saved/been gifted enough to buy one and a couple of games. Given the shooters that are available, which console (Genesis/TG16) do you pick? Thanks to @jparish.bsky.social for the idea.

God, I love being a virtual caveman.

Have I mentioned recently that I have digital editions of my four published books for sale at $20 for the whole bundle? If eight people each bought a bundle from me, it would help me with my mounting medical payments. DM me if interested! (and yes, you can get physical editions too)

Hey, how about that? I figured out the RSS thing, submitted West Mansion to @warppoint.games and got approved! www.warppoint.games/blog/splatte...

I was going to do this whole @warppoint.games thing for West Mansion, but the site is so ancient that I'm still coding it with basic HTML, and as such I lack any kind of RSS feed. I'm beginning to think I don't even qualify as Web 1.0 anymore, I'm more like Web 0.2. It's just as well.

Hey all. Not that anyone here knew aside from one person, but I've been in the hospital since Tuesday. Hope I didn't miss anything interesting.

If horror has a hero, it’s Bruce Campbell. Today we celebrate the birth of an enduring actor, producer, and legend. Happy birthday, sir, and thanks for changing the face (especially the chin) of the genre. We love you!

Still editing nothingman, about halfway through draft 2 right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTuD...

Not a Father's Day post in the strictest sense, but I do want to show off the tattoo my oldest daughter got so she'll always have a little reminder of me.

To those that prefer Metroidvanias over Classicvanias, a question: what is it that draws you to the Metroidvania instead of the Classicvania? (I prefer Classicvanias, just in case you were wondering)

one mo, from 3 years ago, says da web

Capital idea!

Introduce yourself with four video games

Do you think this (and the accompanying centerfold) would be considered an ad for Splatterhouse 2010?

Here's a look at some of the Splatterhouse print ads from throughout the years, starting with the original arcade flyer.

This is a Top 5 film for me. Best Indiana Jones film ever, too.

I have many opinions and observations about things. Some are positive, some are negative. But one thing's for sure: I won't be posting any of them. Not because I'm worried about backlash or whatever, I just feel I should focus on Splatterhouse content and updates about nothingman. So here's a cat.

While both writing and editing nothingman, I've been listening to a bunch of '90s grunge and post-grunge bands, because it takes place mostly in 1994-1995. Thing is, I do that anyway. Did I ever truly leave that era? youtu.be/fPUrl_Ov5rw?...

The editing/rewrite process is going pretty smoothly right now. However, that's all I did all weekend, and now I don't want to even think about the story at all. Any other writers here ever feel this way? #writer #author #indieauthor #book #books @ecmyers.com (picture unrelated)

The changing face of evil. #Splatterhouse

UPDATE: so far, so good.

I'm about a half hour away from having the first person other than myself start to read the first draft of nothingman, and I'm not going to lie, I'm nervous. I know I've written books before, so this shouldn't phase me, but this feels different. Wish me luck.

Happy Gradius day to those who celebrate! The seminal shoot em up hit arcades 41 years ago on this day #shmups

This is accurate.

10/10, no notes.

I'm glad this was added to Splatterhouse (2010) at my request.

Seemed like the end of an era, didn't it? What kind of webmaster would I be if I didn't make a huge update with a lot of stuff, and the promise of more in the future? It'd be me c. 2011. That's what kind. But that was 15 years ago. @garrettgilchrist.bsky.social splatterhouse.kontek.net/new.html

...you figure it out.
