By the way, why is it no one makes a Cthulhu cake out of Angel’s Food cake? It seems the irony alone would be worth the price.

Also, My Confined Space comes through for us again with another great Cthulhu pic.

Sigh, he always looks skinny these days. It just doesn’t fit with my view of the Big C.

The pic of a Cthulhu miniature was a total nerdgasm!

Of course, it’s silly to put the terrible master of mankind, devourer of worlds, in there with bush league wannabes like Godzilla, but what can you do. Some people just won’t accept his glory and greatness until they see it stomping down the street toward them, with the hordes of gibbering masses running before him. . .

Also, If you’re following such things, I am now listed on Twitter (brandg), and I’ll try to keep everybody up to date on the show’s development that way.

First, a little green piece of a spindly, angry Cthulhu.

Rest inPeace, you cruel bastard.

Unfortunately, I’ve been laid up with a bad head cold all week, so I only hope I don’t end up sounding more like Gollum and less like Cthulhu.

Anyway, one of the podcasters there (The Command Line) took some pictures, including some of me with the puppet.

Here’s the Flickr set.

One of my personal favorites: When Cthulhu swallows the soul of Tee Morris, the writer of (among other things) “Podcasting for Dummies.”

However, having bought a new laptop, I need to get rid of the old one. As I started setting up the submission to ebay though, I realized that this laptop was more than just one tool among many. This was the computer that I used to make all the “Calls For Cthulhu” episodes. It has sentimental value to me.

Which made me think that it might have sentimental value to you, too. I know I need to sell it, but I’d rather sell it to someone who would enjoy knowing about the C4C history. Also, I could sell it as-is, with all the original source data used to make the show. (Note: I would have to remove all the purchased software, so you would need to install your own version of MAX, Premiere, and whatnot). If you want to see what Cthulhu looks like before chromakeying, if you want to hear the original studio recordings of the show, or if you just want to own a little piece of history, this might just be for you.

It’s a Sony VAIO (Model #VGN-SZ110). It has a 1.8Ghz processor, 2Gig of RAM, and a 100Gig Hard Drive. I just priced a system like it on ebay, and found that this same system with no Hard Drive and only 1Gig of RAM goes for more than $700. With the extra memory and Hard Drive, I would guess that this system will go for $800.

By that rate, this purchase should be a steal. You’re getting more for the money (100gig Hard Drive, and an extra Gig of memory), and you have all the source material for the Calls For Cthulhu show. How would you like to open up the 3D model of Cthulhu’s set, and look around his undersea world? How would you like to see all the other little ideas I have worked up, but never used in the show?

If I can’t find anyone interested, I’ll put it up on ebay. But like I said, I’d rather it went to a user who could appreciate it.

More details here from D. Reaper.

This is Cthulhu. A tribal etching kind of image.

Speaking of Tribal etchings,

Tribal Cthulhu. More primitive, more colorful, and I wonder if those symbols mean anything.

For more modern sightings:
Cthulhu Crossing. Beyond time, space, or speed limits.

But perhaps the most cool, cruel, crocheted version is this.

I’m definitely getting a pair of these.

Here’s the link.

I can’t help but think we’ve done this one before. Oh well, it’s still awesome.

Hope you like it.

In other news, I am hard at work on Episode 9. I’ve already got half the script written, so it looks like the show’s coming in on time this time.

Either way, it’s here now, and I hope you enjoy it.
