Technical Difficulties of the Worst Kind

So, what the hell happened to Webcomic Spotlight? And why haven’t any new Features been added? For that matter, why has A Twitchy Mind done so little twitching as of late? The terribly simple answer is that computer access has been severely limited, with a home computer in complete rebellion and a laptop that shies away from the internet for reasons unknown. Only the good fortune of free computer access in a local library has allowed me to make this post.

Despite the delay, rest assured that within the week several posts will be made. The Spotlight will return to its schedule, and we’ll also be looking at several plays on the Broadway stage that have caught my eye. See you then!

“Welcome!” and “GTA IV Madness”

Welcome to A Twitchy Mind, WordPress blog of myself, shay88. Here at Twitchy Mind I’ll be publishing my thoughts on the world (specifically focused on things such as video games, the internet, movies, T.V., and such, with intermittent rants on the various parts of reality) and some of my own work. I’m a fiction writer, and I tend towards science fiction and fantasy, but you’ll see some literary fiction stuff as well. Maybe even a poem or two, if I’m in the mood. I hope the things I have to say are interesting.

Now for the meat of the first post, I figured that I should address something to with the present, and with the aforementioned video games. Yes, you’re going to hear another rant about GTA IV. I apologize if you’re sick of hearing about it, but it’s news.

Grand Theft Auto. Say those three words and chances are people won’t think of the actual crime. Instead, they’ll think of paying a hooker and then beating her to death with a baseball bat to get a refund. Maybe shooting some cops along the way, hopefully not getting too many stars, or else the army shows up. Maybe they’ll just think of porn.
