Turok Evolution with Frank Martin

Grab your time-traveling bow and arrow, folks! It’s time to dive into the prehistoric playground of Turok: Evolution, the game that asked, “What if we took a beloved comic book series and cranked the dinosaur-blasting action up to 11?” Join us as we explore this Acclaim-produced, multi-console extravaganza that had gamers questioning whether they were playing as a noble warrior or just a really enthusiastic paleontologist with anger issues.

This episode features the talented Frank Martin, comic writer extraordinaire and master of crowdfunded creativity. He’ll help us navigate the treacherous terrain between comic panels and pixelated landscapes, all while dodging raptors and questioning the logic of futuristic weapons in a world where “cutting edge” usually refers to a particularly sharp rock.

So strap on your loincloth, polish your plasma rifle, and get ready to explore a game that’s part Jurassic Park, part quantum physics experiment gone wrong. Will Turok: Evolution stand the test of time, or will it go extinct faster than you can say “Cease and desist, dinosaur!”? Tune in to find out!

Learn such things as:

• Is it cheating if you’re making the game alongside the comics?
• Is it cheating if you rebooted the comics to be nothing like the comics were when the came out all those years ago?
• Is it cheating if you’re just making Goldeneye in the early 2000s but with dinosaurs?
• And so much more!

Just finished reading Absolute Batman 1. Wow. And I'm not a Batman fan. But...wow. This was really good.

Just back from an excellent concert by The Jameson Singers. All double-choir pieces.

Including world premiere of a very good short piece by one of the members of the Singers, J. Andrés Ballesteros.

I really liked the Frank Martin Mass for Double Choir. I'm not familiar with his music, I will have to explore it more.

Beautiful Mass by #FrankMartin. Double choirs, with very modal texture resembling Gregorian chants but with a very complex harmony.
