Adores fedoras, plasters posters of moustachioed men in her room, and loves detective stories/puzzle-solving?

Reblogged via StumblrMāori Tā Moko face marking was a sacred practice among the indigenous of New Zealand. Each moko design was unique to each individual, (no two designs were ever the same as they were never duplicated) and signified a young man’s transition from childhood to manhood. As well as representing rank and status these marks also had significant meaning to the wearer, symbolically connecting them to their ancestors and lineage.

Zombie Playground by Massive Black.
Some of you may recognize the familiar image of the kid’s on the jungle gym, fighting off hoards of suspiciously adorable zombies. The image was passed around the internet labeled as “Left 4 Dead 4 Kids” and all the while, was a legitimate game being developed by Massive Black.
Alas, the curtains have been drawn and “Zombie Playground” has been revealed to be a legitimate project by Jason Chan and the expertly talented team at Massive Black.
Even better news, is Zombie Playground now has a Kickstarter, one which will run between May 22nd until June 26th.With the amount of money raised contributing to the robustness of the game itself. As usual, there are various perks to donating to the cause, plus the additional development bumps the team promise to deliver upon if certain milestones of funding are reached.
The team has a heck of a super-force of talent in the industry working on the game itself, including Jason Chan (Concept Artist on Dragon Age: Origins, Bioshock 2 and Mass Effect 3), Aesop Rock (Lyrical Bamf, Kickstarter Movie), Shawn Lee (Bully Soundtrack, Veteran Musician) and Chris Hatala (LOTR: Two Towers, LOTR: Return of the King, I-Robot, Various Games).
“In Zombie Playground you take on the role of a kid during a zombie apocalypse as seen through his or her imagination. Your school is overrun by the undead, and it’s up to you and your friends to do whatever it takes to survive!”
All the info you could possibly need can be found either on the official website or the Kickstarter, including a great little video to wrap all the info up into a nice square box with moving pictures.
So, spread the word! re-blog, re-tweet, re-whatever and why not chip-in a few bucks and make a really cool looking, sounding, conceptualized game come into being with your help!
Awesome.

These birds still haunt my dreams, but this guy is adorable.
The folks over at Comicbooked interviewed Greg Rucka where he discusses the treatment of women by Hollywood and DC Comics. Rucka’s discussion of Hollywood comes in reference to the development of his Queen and Country for the big screen. That discussion, as you’ll see, turns into a discussion of the comic book world. Rucka left DC Comics in 2010.
You should go click through to the whole interview and listen to the podcast this was taken from but here are some of the more provocative soundbites:
“There’s an absurd marketing issue which is this conceit that Hollywood labors under and they’ve got studies to back it up, that their market is men 18 to 34, and they won’t go see a woman in an action role, which is utter bulls**t. I mean, if you can think of any demographic that’s more likely to go see women in an action role it’s going to be a guy who’s eighteen! What’s the thing that eighteen-year-old is constantly thinking about? Girls. It’s absurd and the more you look into it, the more the fallacy falls apart….
….The same studies that these guys swear by—‘our demographic is men age 18 to 34, who drive purchasing’—well, alright. Those same studies say it’s women age 20 to 40 who control the income outlay. They control the pocketbook, so why aren’t you marketing to them? It doesn’t make any sense and it’s a fundamentally misogynistic market field and people wonder why we see such negative representations of women or the same consistent galling of women and objectification of women in media and you strip everything away and the only argument that remains is it’s a misogynistic industry—they don’t like women. And you see that all over comics now, too.
These things aren’t going away now and I think in large part the reason they’re not going away is that in particular DC did an extraordinary job of revealing the truth of their situation—they don’t care.That’s what they said at San Diego—not only do we not care but we actually don’t want you here, go away. Well, guess what? That’s a sh***y business model and you’re going to lose money and you’re going to lose readers. It doesn’t make any sense to me from a business standpoint, right? I was lecturing at the University of Oregon yesterday and the only analog I can come up with is if Apple had said, ‘you know what? We’re only selling iPhones to blondes.’ It doesn’t make any sense—why would you just exclude a whole portion of your market? And the combination of arrogance and ignorance is appaling, and people should be angry. And the mere fact that the people who then actually spoke out about it who were threatened—talk about wanting to make ourselves look good. Nice endorsement for the industry, there.”Yeah.I really don’t have anything to add.Except,Preach it Reverend Rucka!I met Rucka at ECCC (he signed my copy of Batwoman and gave me encouraging words) and I can honestly say that I am happy we - as a whole - have someone like him to speak out against misogyny. Not because he’s a man (and somehow that can still seem to hold more weight), but because he’s simply someone who is compassionate and intelligent and very willing to call people out on their bullshit. (Yeah, you, DC.) If only more people were willing to listen to him and so many of us who wish to see the end of misogynistic crap in comics.
That’s not to say that all comics will be great if you take out the misogynistic viewpoints (a bad comic can still be bad for plenty of other reasons) - but at least it will stop being as degrading and potentially harmful to women and how comic books represent us.
