| Introduction | Well, here are the basics. I'm 28, male, Causcasian save for 1/32 or something Native American, and live in the outskirts of Chicago. I work as a programmer, but my ideal is to become a writer or a game designer. Okay, the ideal involves advanced spacecraft, portals to fantasy realms, or my own unstoppable empire, but that's the ideal as long I'm stuck on this planet. This blog is about the sort of things I created, imagined, or that inspired me TO create or imagine. What it isn't, however, is about my social life. That's the rule. |

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?
When the check arrives. Or when the Earth is annihilated in retaliation. I'd prefer the former.
