Eagle Award for Commando
The MCM London Expo was held over the weekend while I was struggling to get my computer back up and running (grrrrr!). Rich Johnston's Bleeding Cool has the full list of winners, which includes a win for Commando in the Favourite British Comic (Black & White) category.
Commando editor Calum Laird says: "It goes without saying that everybody at Commando HQ was highly delighted. But it's not all

I spoke too soon... shortly after writing that I hadn't been hit by the Thursday curse, the raid system crapped out for the second time in three weeks. This time, at the suggestion of Dell's technical support team, I ran some tests on the discs; the first took 3 hours to test, the second took 18 hours. 18 hours!!!
The computer finally rebooted and then took another hour
Demon Offspring
I am finally a demon that has fertilized a demoness. As Razor; I fornicated with Kali, one of my lovely pets. We have used our alternative avatars for this reason, which contained our Mama Alpha huds. And are happy with the results that gave us, which has been a week since the impregnation. She is now on her third month as a "preggo." It's the usual term for women with child in SL.
Kali is a goddess figure, who is worshipped in Hindi culture. A goddess of "time and change" and is also referred to as the "Black One." A dark and violent omnipotent goddess, with a sword in hand, to annihilate her foes. More recently, she is a nurturing benevolent mother goddess of fertility, as portrayed by her followers.Will she be a loving mother to the forth coming offspring we will have, or a blood thirsty demoness, bent on devouring her own children?
I for one, can not see this future before me. Time will gave me an answer, for it's not to far in the distance.

This is going to be a shorter column than usual, not because of the "Thursday Night Curse" which kept hitting me earlier in the month but simply down to a lack of time. Normally I've had a chance to jot down some notes during the week, but haven't had much of an opportunity this week. My carefully planned schedule was thrown out somewhat by an enquiry from The Guardian
