Last Friday my friend introduced to me an album that at the time I thought was funny but terrible and hard to listen to. Well after listening to it for about three or four times I have fallen in love with trout mask replica and captain beef heart. It is awesome. Anyway in honor of the captain I have made his magnus opus my avatar.

I mean just look at the recent bumbling acts of marketing childishness we've seen in just the past year! Iron Man 2. All the trailers, previews, interviews, Comi-Con panels, tie-ins with burger joints and whatnot. None of that should have happened. The real way to market a movie like Iron Man 2 is to not tell anyone you're making it until a week before its release and then BAM, you hit 'em with the movie. You get everyone to sign NDA's that are punishable by forfeiture of all the person's assets and/or the death penalty, you hire hitmen to kill journalists that sneak in to take photos, you threaten local towns with forced sterilisation should they blab that something's filming in their town, and then then you say nothing about the movie at all and, in fact, even go so far as to deny you're making it.
Avatar. Another great example. All that hype about it being the most expensive movie ever made, the genius of the special effects, and so on. James Cameron should have denied he ever intended to make a movie after Titanic and then zzzzzzzzaaaaaaappp, Avatar - Realease Date - 1 week from now!
That's the real way to market. None of this preview/trailer/hype bull gak. You say nothing, you deny everything, and you leave everyone guessing as to what the hell you're doing until you physically are no longer able to.
Think of just how much money Avatar and Iron Man 2 could have made if we'd never known they existed until they were already in theatres? Hundreds more. Possibly even hundreds of billions more. Why is GW the only one who gets this?

I went through a beefheart phase about a year or so ago. His music is really weird but at the same time its pretty good. His artwork is pretty cool as well if you ever get bored and need something to kill time with, check it out on google.

I just love DE Mandrakes... Well the concept anyway. I always hated that one of the coolest units in the DE army is weak and useless. Along with their creepyawesome special character who doesn't even have a model.
So when DoW made Mandrakes appropriately deadly, I very much enjoyed it.
Plus I shave my head, so this can also be viewed as a self portrait.

I named a cocktail after this dude (Toshiro Mifune) after his performance in the film Seven Samurai got me so drunk during the Seven Samurai Drinking Game I'd just invented that my friend threw me out of his own flat.
I was the only person there apart from him, and he threw me out.
I then spread similar drunkenness in my uni years with the cocktail named after him, but he's still such a dude I tend to use him as my 'nerdy stuff' avatar.
