Big Fat Awesome House Party!

So for the better part of a year now I have been playing an online game entitled Big Fat Awesome House Party. The game is simple, you become a member of the house, an imaginary avatar to control, do chores, explore, and earn credits to go on crazy adventures with Bloo. With that you unlock arcade games and other bonuses. If you want something to do on a rainy Sunday, sign up and play around.

Who's Bloo? The game comes from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, one of my all time favorite shows, in the top 3 with M*A*S*H and Smallville. I've talked about the show before here, and in some ways, the very title of this blog comes from Foster's. One of my favorite episodes is "The Trouble with Scribbles".

For those who do play, i'll give you a cheat. Type "create" in the secret code tab of Notey. You'll unlock Craig McCracken, Foster's creator, as a buddy.

Love the game and I hope they keep expanding the environment...

...This is a mindless fun weekend.

The State of TAZmania

Welcome to Free Scribbles.

A blog that is part stream of consciousness and part free thoughts on all things of interest to me. Hopefully some of you out there will find what I have to say and the topics I discuss of interest as well. Topics that might be discussed are comic books, cartoons, running, the Patriots, television shows, art, history... the sky is the limit and I don't want to set any restraints. The title of the blog says it all.

A little about myself so that the readers can begin to understand the perspective that my posts are coming from. I am a proud Bostonian and married to a wonderful woman who shares most of my passions and puts up with the rest of my eccentricities. I mean, how many women would put up with a crazy guy who collects comic books and loves to watch cartoons on a Saturday morning?

I work in advertising, specifically in the interactive sector and I am very excited to get up in the morning and go to work. The agency I work for is doing a lot of exciting things and has some very cool projects and clients. The team of creative individuals I interact with are some very talented people who seem to be very passionate about what they do. While I am mentioning this now, anything involving advertising will be posted on my other blog, KP Creative. Free Scribbles is my outlet for all other things.

For my first post, I think that I want to talk about my favorite blog, other than my own! BLOGregard Q. Kazoo. If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend watching Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends on Cartoon Network. It is a highly entertaining and witty show no matter what age you are. It is full of pop culture references, a great soundtrack, and a crazy cast of characters.

The blog of mention is a behind the scenes of creating a show. Craig McCracken and his wife Lauren Faust write about everything that goes into a show, from the outline to the voice work and everything in between. Craig is best known for creating the Powerpuff Girls, a well known cartoon show involving a trio of precocious sisters who save their hometown regularly with their superpowers. Foster's is a unique show as the first ever television show created exclusively with Flash and all about what happens to Imaginary Friends when their creator grows up.

Well, I can't say much more about it now, but give it a chance...
