Wormtooth Nation


Can you believe you're getting two posts in the same week? I haven't written you this much since RLA; I guess I'm just bored less now.
You may have noticed a new banner on the side there; it's way toward the bottom of my vast sidebar. Wormtooth Nation. It's as if someone mixed the grittiest parts of City of Ember with, apparently, Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. As you've guessed already, it's brilliant and steampunk from any angle.
Don't let the picture up there fool you; this is no animation, not like the equally awesome Mysterious Geographical Adventures of Jasper Morello (I didn't give that the enthusiastic review it deserved, by the way.). Live action, this one. Sometimes the quality is a little iffy, but the good intentions, excellent aesthetics and wonderful story more than make up for it. Plus, it's that indie-movie quality that solidifies it as steampunk (though that may have been all the dirt... steampunk's pretty grimy...).

Still dedicated,
Murphs
