Restart? Re-just get the hell on with it?So after over a year of travelling the country, working on various projects of evil (or more accurately, puppet shows, tv, and films) I sit in my lab wondering where the hell I go from here.<br />
<br />
Olivr and I have moved again, so the current plotline in the videos would be skewed.<br />
<br />
There are still stories to tell. There is always chaos in the labs. There is still a talking taco. There is now more talking food.<br />
<br />
So I bring the question to you, the people still here. Those still watching. Those who care.<br />
<br />
Do we stay the course and go with a big story, or would you rather just have one-shots? Or do you just want me to shut up and film already?<br />
<br />
I put it to a vote! To the comments! To the facebook! To the tweeting site!<br />
<br />
...also someone tell me what I missed on TV, a lot of time has passed and I know I missed sweeps...<br />
<br />
The eternally tardy Prof.,<br />

<br />
Time travel, radio commercials, and multiverse antics means if you have trouble following what's going on, just let it wash over you. It'll make sense eventually. Maybe.<br />

I'll keep toiling away. Many stories are written, and many are willing to step in front of the camera. I just need to get the time to do something about it.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02250294367394999023noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614724501899409104.post-76240593870677040392012-12-24T20:26:00.002-08:002012-12-24T20:26:32.148-08:00A Christmas Poem<div style="text-align: center;">
Twas the night before Christmas, and down in the lab</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olivr was decorating; making things fab.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The stockings were hung, and I mean with a noose,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since Professor Obsidian had some screws loose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other bots were charging, plugged in with their cords,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Downloading visions of robotic hordes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And with the Prof on the roof readying war vs elf,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olivr was left down all by himself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When up on the roof the Prof's voice had blared,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this was New York and nobody cared.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olivr ran to roof faster than ever before,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Got up the stairs and threw open the door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the moon and the city giving off such a glow,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He could see everything, but the Prof's a no-show.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Something went wrong, likely a misfire,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But then the little bot's gaze lifted still higher.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A red blur in the sky moving without a pause,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olivr knew in his circuits it must be the Claus!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Moving still faster and in the other direction,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another blur flew, who it was there's no question.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Now Dasher, now Dancer, now Prancer and Vixen,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Comet and Cupid, dear Donner and Blitzen,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't worry about Magnus interfering our flight,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His nets have misfired, he's launched out of sight!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Santa then laughed and Rudolph's nose grew quite bright,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As they were safe in the knowledge they'd now have no fight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So they circled the rooftops, filling the sky with joy,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dropping off gifts for each girl and boy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then in a blink, on the new lab's small roof,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They landed by Olivr, both boot and hoof.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There wasn't a chimney, but no one would frown,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little bot led the way and they took the stairs down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Down and down they went, to abandoned subways,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little bot taking St. Nick through the maze.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leading past monsters and components on racks,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They went to a spot Santa could stop and relax.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the tree and the stockings, the ornaments and light,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Olivr's work made the room seem so cheerfully bright.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He offered the cookies and offered the milk,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just like any good child and all of their ilk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet something was different and this St. Nick knew,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This brain was all metal, the heart gears and glue.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet he was treated the same, with no question or strife,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For all the ill the Prof did, he still gave this bot <i>life</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The jolly old fat man, well, he did just the same,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He knew better than to think the electronic mind was a game.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So he reached in his sack and got more than one gift,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some upgrades, some toys, to give spirits a lift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Most were for Olivr, but not the whole stock,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One still for Obsidian, probably a rock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then a wink of his eye, POOF, disappear,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Up back to the roof and off with the reindeer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The front door crashed open and, oh, what a sight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Professor, what happened? You look like burnt toast!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"It's a long story, I'm not telling, but I blame the ghost."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So another Christmas came, and away it had went,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And in Obsidian's plan, there was a huge dent.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He didn't get the sack, nor steal the red sleigh,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But for Olivr, that night led to a great day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Olivr here!<br />
<br />
While the Professor is busy setting up video capabilities at the new main facility, he's left me in charge of this month's update.<br />
<br />
I asked him what I should post about, and he just said "Everyone loves you, you could read the phone book for an hour and the audience would be enthralled. Do they even make phone books anymore?" This distracted thought then caused him to hit his thumb with a hammer and yell a number of choice statements that I shan't repeat here.<br />
<br />
But enough stalling. You all know what happened to the Professor when the satellite hit, but we haven't told my story of how I got to NYC.<br />
<br />

As I was leaving the lab, the tunnels leading directly to other facilities began to cave in. So, using an escape route, I managed to get topside and run into some of our neighbors. Here you can even see the exit from the tunnels behind the tree.</div>

A huge thank you to everyone involved. The volunteers for helping me out, the exhibitors for putting on awesome shows at their booths and panels, and the fans who dressed up and made the crowds a sight to see. Thank you to everyone who was willing to talk to me, and my apologies to all the people I wasn't able to come back and speak with on camera due to time restraints.<br />

Finally a big "Where were you?!" to Agent Wraith, who I still owe $1 to and who I can never seem to track well. My fault entirely, I'm sure.<br />

<b>LOG:<br />DAY 1:</b> A few years ago, the internet made a big fuss about some pictures of the Krupp company’s excavator over in Germany. At 311 ft tall, 705 ft long, and weighing 45,500 tons, this machine has struck awe and terror into everyone who sees even just an image of it. If, of course, they don’t wrongly claim that the thing looks fake.<br /><br />I have to have it.<br /><br />Of course, it’s far too large for me to just steal and run away with. There just isn’t enough parking space outside any of the lab facilities. Thus, my next best idea is what I’ll have to go with, and the more I think about it, the more I think this should have been plan A from the start.<br /><br />I’ll inject an AI controller into the machine, making it yet another in my army of robot minions. Then I could get it to go on a bender and laugh as it tears around Europe. Literally.<br /><br />Tomorrow I’ll take the pneumatic to facility Gamma-2-R under London. The other European facilities aren’t yet connected by tunnel lines, so I’ll have to take an Obsidiblimp from there.<br /><br /><b>DAY 2:</b> Arrived in London without incident. The Obsidiblimp is taking longer than expected to fill, however due to leaks. It should be fully repaired and ready to fly by tomorrow.<br /><br />Until then, I’m going to go harass some Royal Guards.<br /><span id="goog_412518143"></span><span id="goog_412518144"></span><br />

<b>DAY 3:</b> Got punched in the jaw by the guard.<br />Blimp is ready to fly.<br />Get me off this blasted island.<br /><br /><b>DAY 4:</b> Decided to take the scenic route and travel through France before going into Germany. Obsidiblimp snagged on the top of the Eiffel Tower. Losing altitude and have a LOT of pissed off French following me. Going to have to find a good hidden spot to land and then take some wheels the rest of the way.<br /><br /><b>DAY 7:</b> Took the bus. Didn’t have the right amount of change. I don’t want to log about this. Anyway, I’ve finally made it to the site. The Bagger is even more impressive in person, I can’t wait to teach it to play cards. Going to wait till nightfall and implant the AI when there’s less action.<br /><br /><b>DAY 8:</b> Left the bloody AI back at the lab. Going back to retrieve it.<br /><br /><b>DAY 16:</b> Let’s try this again. Waiting till nightfall, this time with the AI.<br /><br /><b>DAY 17:</b> Injected the AI into the machinery. It will take all day, but the components will replicate whatever internal nervous system is required for the AI program the take over the mechanical systems. By tomorrow it should be capable of thought and escape. Soon I’ll be speeding around Europe on one of the largest machines in the world. Hopefully it won’t drive itself into a ditch.<br /><br />

<b>DAY 18:</b> The AI took hold, but the blasted thing has no desire to do anything other than dig out coal. It just gives out satisfied sighs when it does something related to its original job. I’ve created an Adamsian nightmare and caused literally no change. Perhaps the machine’s overwhelming size caused the replicated nervous system to stretch too far, reducing its abilities. In the end, the Bagger will remain here, pleased with itself like some smug, stoic jerk. Hopefully one day I’ll advance my AI tech enough to revisit this plan and upgrade the machine.<br /><br /><b>MISSION RESULT: FAILURE</b><br />

Two things have stood out tremendously.<br />
<br />
Firstly, a comic has started which tells the continuing tales of retired supervillain: The White Skull.<br />
<br />
What does this have to do with me? Haha, I'm glad I imagined you asked.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
So, support me by supporting a comic about Skully and click this link to read some wonderful:<br />
<a href="http://reallifesuperskull.wordpress.com/">'The White Skull: Model Citizen'</a><br />
<br />
Secondly, ROBOTS.<br />
<br />
I know I’ve linked to these videos on the social networking sites, but considering my last video, I think it’s time I highlighted this here on the blog so everyone can be made aware of it.<br /><br />Some time ago, The Overlord, owner of another super villain blog, Minion Stew, gained inspiration from my work on Olivr and created her own robot to help around the lair.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vK3QBPw0UBI" width="420"></iframe><br /><br />I have to admit, the design is very similar to my Olivr, even the unexpected mishap of the robot coming out a bit too nice.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Pxf37OeVty4" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />They do seem to be growing on each other, though.<br /><br />Now, with Shell-E’s existence, along with reports I’ve been getting of robots in production, I want to make it very clear that I am pleased to see the growing representation of robot help online. Everyone could use a robot around the house to help out with things, and I want to give credit to such progress.<br /><br />So I’m putting out a call.<br /><br />Build robots. Grow their numbers. They are truly the future. Just remember to leave their wireless signal unencrypted so I can ‘inspect’ them from here. Or, at the very least, send me pictures of your creations! Olivr and I love to see what we inspire, and maybe, if you’re talented enough, we’ll showcase your work here for all to see.<br /><br />Happy building!<br /><br />(Don’t forget to follow the Overlord. She’s got a good sense of humor.

<br />
We’re too backwoods.<br />
<br />
The whole planet. It’s no wonder we haven’t gotten any significant alien contact. All the life in existence, the universe, hell, even just this galaxy, and we barely see hide or hair of it. All because we’re out in the boonies. No one wants to come to this section of space, it’s Hicksville #1. The exact center of nowhere where the locals are so backwards they still think reality TV and <a href="http://baconlube.com/">bacon lube</a> are great ideas.<br />
<br />
And don’t give me any of that Men in Black nonsense. I saw the movies, aliens don’t come here because it’s an important place, they come here because it ISN’T.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Look at this boring piece of crap.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
WELL I’M GOING TO CHANGE ALL THAT.<br />
<br />
It’s time we upped the tourism and the general feel of this place.<br />
<br />
So, I’m starting OPERATION: CLASS UP EARTH.<br />
<br />
It’s a multi-phase process by which we shall make this planet irresistible and important enough for other forms of life to visit. Then I can finally get my hands on some of their tech. I WANT THAT TECH.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here’s what I plan to do.<br />
<br />
<b>Phase 1: MISSION CODENAME: JAUNTY HAT</b><br />
<br />
The first, and hardest (I figure get the worst out of the way right away to make the rest seem more doable) step of the plan is to create a giant hat to affix on top of the planet as illustrated in Fig1.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jT5HzrCEoAI/T73MXFOswzI/AAAAAAAAAr4/b5x1JHflccI/s1600/jaunty_indeed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jT5HzrCEoAI/T73MXFOswzI/AAAAAAAAAr4/b5x1JHflccI/s320/jaunty_indeed.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fig 1: Jauntiness Increase</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Now, some of the more northern countries will probably be affected by this. Being under a giant hat will remove any chance of sunlight, but they deal with that for half the year anyway. If worse comes to worst, we can always string up some Christmas lights inside the sucker. Make the North Pole even more holiday-like.<br />
<br />
<b>Phase 2: MISSION CODENAME: FANCY MONOCLE</b><br />
<br />
Next, get a ton of glass and set up this monster monocle, as shown in Fig2.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dnKnG52UKps/T73Mwh10a9I/AAAAAAAAAsA/u6J8D7yffbk/s1600/some_added_class.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dnKnG52UKps/T73Mwh10a9I/AAAAAAAAAsA/u6J8D7yffbk/s320/some_added_class.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fig 2: So much class</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
This has the opposite problem. Under that glass, it’s going to be like a kid with a magnifying glass and an anthill. So, just stop living in that area altogether. We can rent it out to tourists from hotter planets. Lava vacation.<br />
<br />
<b>Phase 3: MISSION CODENAME: GENTLEMAN’S MOUSTACHE</b><br />
<br />
Lastly, we cut everyone’s hair. I MEAN EVERYONE’S. Human, sheep, cow, I don’t care. All of it. Fashion it together as shown in Fig3.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6FwmT752M3Q/T73NUQAsv9I/AAAAAAAAAsI/pbUW17629rE/s1600/WHAT_A_DAPPER_GENTLEPLANET.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6FwmT752M3Q/T73NUQAsv9I/AAAAAAAAAsI/pbUW17629rE/s320/WHAT_A_DAPPER_GENTLEPLANET.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fig 3: Perfection</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
LOOK AT THAT. Who wouldn’t want to visit a planet like that?<br />
I’ll tell you who!<br />
<b>An idiot!</b><br />
<br />
Set up like this, we’ll be sure to attract some attention and get ourselves set up on the stage for universal politics.<br />
And I’ll finally have avenues to stealing me some sweet advanced tech from races beyond the stars.<br />
<br />
Is this the best plan ever?<br />

<br />
Last month, of course, saw my accidental involvement in a <a href="http://obsidianlabs.blogspot.com/2011/12/santa-livetweet-event.html">whole holiday fiasco</a>. My preparations for Claus's arrival leading directly to some major happenings on Agent Wraith's <a href="http://www.talkshoe.com/talkshoe/web/talkCast.jsp?masterId=99681&cmd=tc">internet radio program</a>.<br />
<br />
This time, it seems the folks over at the Roaming Eye of Doom (who still haven't let me into their exclusive facebook club, what's up with that?) have been going through a bit of an adventure, which I will attempt to put in order here for you all.<br />
<br />
The latest video of their adventure, released today, will show you exactly how I got mixed up into this. It seems some of the Eye's top agents have gone missing and everyone's on the case:<br />

So, Blackheart and Baroness go missing, and Fury calls for my aid. I do all that work getting them a brand new, untested piece of EXPENSIVE equipment, and not only does he not pay attention to my instructions, he STEALS MY DELIVERY ROBOT.<br />
<br />
Now, if you want to know what happened to Blackheart and the Baroness, they put together a video that shows their end of the adventure:<br />

All of Fury's hard work for nothing it seems. Except to get his thieving butt into trouble.<br />

Don't you fools know that only leads to stupidity and pain? One must avoid it at all costs, or else you find yourself tangled in some spider-themed villainess's web wondering how you're going to get down in time to watch your telenovelas.<br />
<br />
...not that I know anything about that...<br />
<br />
...ahem.<br />
<br />
Congratulations to Captain Blackheart and the Baroness for their engagement, by the way.<br />
