It's Update Time

I just realized that I had been rather quite, both on the blog as well as my Twitter account (aside from my disturbing plan to sell bumper stickers).  I wanted to let everyone know my gratitude for your continued visits to the site, as well as welcome any new comers.  There aren't many of you, but it's still more people than have seen any of my previous projects (and now I feel down).

The Third Season of The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and Wild Horses has been coming along much slower than anticipated for a number of reasons.  One being life, another being that the episodes are a bit longer in general, but I'm also putting much more work into them to make sure that they're better quality. I felt really good about the Second Season, and want to bring the same quality - if not better - to this season that I did that one.

At this point, Season Three is about eighty-percent complete.  I still have to do some sound effect and musical layering for two episodes, and do the final review to fix a few writing issues as well as make sure the general quality is good, as well as complete the artwork for the title cards.  Once that's done I'll have it here and on my blip page as soon as I can.

This will be the last full season of the series, as I do want to move on to other projects.  For those fans who have listened to the series since the beginning, I can't thank you enough.  You may be silent, but I know you're out there and I hope that you'll stick with me to the end of this endeavor and onto to future ones.  I already have plans in the works for my next few projects, and I'm really excited to face the new challenges that they bring me.

Random Aside

If I were smart - actually smart - I would have gotten into the bumper sticker game ages ago.  Figure $0.05 per unit to produce, marked up to $0.50 for retail, for a single profit per unit at $0.45.  A single lot consists of 500, for a profit of $225.00 per lot.  See where I'm going with this?  A conservative target sales quota for a single product (or SKU) would be 4,000 lots.  That's a total profit on a single SKU of $900,000.00.

Best part?  No politics.  Complete and abject mercenary production.  I could be simultaneously produce the equivalents of the COEXIST sticker as well as the Calvin urinating on the COEXIST sticker.  People ultimately wouldn't know or really even care.  How many of you honestly put research into the political morality of Big Bumper Sticker - show of hands?  You; in the back.  Put you're hand down.  We know you're doing it ironically.

Speaking of irony:

[Insert Eloquent Quote Here]
   --Fatuous Jack ass

That bumper sticker would easily get double the figures I came up with above due to the irony.  Being a member of nerd culture, I know we're vulnerable to anything nostalgic.  The TriForce (marked up for licensing fees) would net double as well.

Of course, no amount of money would cover the amount of alcohol and therapy bills I would need to cope with the fact that I'm making a living off of bumper philosophy - easily the lowest brow form of dialogue in existence.

In which our heroes enter into a deal to put a damsel in distress for money and love. Way to be pro-feminist, guys.

The Best Day Ever

It's Pi Day! Few other days are so worth celebrating than Pi Day. What did Columbus do? He stole a map from Portugal to prove something pretty much everyone had already figured out centuries before. Valentine's Day was created to help out the failing greeting card industry. But Pi Day? The irrational constant Pi shapes grand structures and monuments. Only the first 39 digits of pi are needed to calculate the circumference of the visible universe with an accuracy of merely the width of a single hydrogen atom. Albert Einstein was born on Pi day. And without the number Pi we wouldn't have delicious blackberry filled baked goodness.

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 18 - The Hunt on Vulpecula Gamm VII

In which our heroes must rescue a captured comrade on a deadly forest planet. Two guesses who it is. No, seriously. Guess. I'm sure you'll nail it, like, one hit.

The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses - Episode 11 - The Damsel of Gemini Delta IV

After a much anticipated (not really) wait, the audio chronicles of Captain Farr Novarider and his crew of Wild Horses return!  Tonight's story is: The Damsel of Gemini Delta IV.

In which our heroes take hunt for a grand treasure lost to the reaches of space!  A villainous space Duke!  A damsel in distress!  A needlessly creepy kid!  It's a shame I didn't focus the story on this.  Nope.  Instead, Reagan and Hollander take a day-off and hang-out together.  Seriously, what was I thinking?



Well, I'm happy to say that after much frustration, I finally managed to complete Season 2.  Ladies and gentlemen, I'm happy to present to you Episode 11 of The Amazing Adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the Wild Horses.

I'll be continuing the schedule that I started with the previous season, releasing the new episode every other Thursday, right here on Boundcompass.  As always, please leave comments, likes, dislikes, et cetera.  I would love to hear from you.

Also, unless I have something absolutely pressing to say or news to announce, I think that I'm going to be discontinuing the written post that I've normally appended to each episode.  This is mostly because when I write these, I'm usually fairly mentally drained.  I'm not even certain that I'm providing anything new for you to read or if anyone is reading them.  I don't want to bore you guys any more than I already have, so that being said, please enjoy the episode and look forward to the continuing adventures of Captain Farr Novarider and the crew of the FFS Cabalina.

You Stand in Your Living Room

You stand in your living room.  Cold grey morning light brushes the walls and furniture.  Windows - cracked, but not shattered - lay broken faded shadows on the environment.  The walls are quiet; even their chatter of white noise seems lacking.  You stand in your living room, unsure as to how you arrived or what you were doing before.

Hey, everyone.  First off, I'm going to have to apologize because this is going to be short and sweet.  Those [few] who follow me on twitter (you should probably do that), probably noticed my excitement at the fact that my blog hit 5000 visits.  Most of those I'm fairly certain are not my Mother.
