This is a chronicling of some of the greatest confrontations in FILM HISTORY. The greatest moments of melee. These are the GREAT SHOWDOWNS.

I am proud to have been a part of the Double Fine family all these years.  </p> <p>This particular project is rules, you guys.  Because it is getting back to the adventure game roots!  But also, it involves YOU the COMMUNITY! <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/66710809/double-fine-adventure" target="_blank">Watch the video</a> for it to see what i mean.  Backers are involved in the process and the documentary they are making along the way will shed light on the awesome process that goes into making a game.  Oh, man, this is going to be the best.</p> <p>so anyway, the higher it goes over the goal means the more platforms it will be for and the better the game will be. So you can still be a part of it, if you want.</p> <p>Thank you, everyone, who has ever supported Double Fine through these years.  You are great people.</p> <p>this will seriously rule, you guys.  damn.</p> <p>love, scott c.</p>http://greatshowdowns.com/post/17322729563http://greatshowdowns.com/post/17322729563Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:04:00 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz35l5karQ1qay9wgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“Om Namah Shivay, Om Namah Shivay, Om Namah Shivay… ”</p>http://greatshowdowns.com/post/17270102890http://greatshowdowns.com/post/17270102890Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:51:05 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyze7f7dRT1qay9wgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“<span>None of this would have happened if Mr. McAllister hadn’t meddled the way he did.”</span></p>http://greatshowdowns.com/post/17158178757http://greatshowdowns.com/post/17158178757Mon, 06 Feb 2012 12:06:51 -0500<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lytvxjCFdS1qay9wgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“<span>To travel to the centre of Australia, to climb King’s Canyon, as a queen, in a full length Gautier sequin, heels, and a tiara.” </span></p>http://greatshowdowns.com/post/16981144036http://greatshowdowns.com/post/16981144036Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:44:19 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyryt8joXo1qay9wgo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyryt8joXo1qay9wgo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyryt8joXo1qay9wgo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyryt8joXo1qay9wgo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyryt8joXo1qay9wgo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>HOURLY COMICS DAY…</p> <p>So it was Hourly Comics Day yesterday.  did you guys know that?</p> <p>Here is how my day went:</p>http://greatshowdowns.com/post/16924262524http://greatshowdowns.com/post/16924262524Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:51:08 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lydkjeDrfK1qay9wgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“<span>Ain’t no rules says a dog can’t play basketball.</span><span>”</span></p>http://greatshowdowns.com/post/16871555460http://greatshowdowns.com/post/16871555460Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:20:46 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lykvv4ZQR41qay9wgo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Hey, everyone!</p> <p>I will be doing <strong>some drawing demos and craft times</strong> at some bookstores in the these next couple weeks!  All in the <strong>New York</strong> and <strong>New Jersey</strong> area.  <strong>I will also be visiting Pratt</strong> to do a little talk to the students.  So if you are a student there, you should come.  or a teacher or anything else really.  The <strong>Books&Greetings</strong> will be geared towards <strong>Amazing Everything</strong> while the others will mostly be Zombie In Love and Valentines times.</p> <p>So here is the schedule:</p> <div><strong>Princeton, NJ – February 2 @ 6pm,</strong> <a href="http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/store/2646" target="_blank">“Zombie In Love” drawing demo,</a>  Barnes & Noble 3535 US Route 1  08540———</div> <div></div> <div></div> <div><strong>Manhattan, NY – February 5 @ 11am,</strong> <a href="http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/store/2278" target="_blank">“Zombie In Love” drawing demo,</a>  Barnes & Noble 150 East 86th St.  10028——-</div> <div></div> <div></div> <div><strong>Kingston, NY – February 10 @ 6:30pm,</strong> <a href="http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/store/2226" target="_blank">“Zombie In Love” drawing demo,</a> Barnes & Noble 1177 Ulster Ave. Mall——-</div> <div></div> <div></div> <div><strong>Manhattan, NY – February 11 @ 3pm,</strong> <a href="http://www.strandbooks.com/" target="_blank">“Zombie In Love” drawing and crafts</a>,  Strand Book Store——-</div> <div></div> <div></div> <div><strong>Brooklyn, NY – February 15 @ 8pm,</strong> <a href="http://www.pratt.edu/" target="_blank">Pratt Visit</a>, Pratt institute——-</div> <div></div> <div></div> <div><strong>Northvale, NJ - February 18 @ 2pm,</strong> <a href="http://www.booksandgreetings.com/" target="_blank">demo and talk</a>, Books & Greetings</div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> <div>And that is that!  bring your friends and your kids!</div> <div></div> <div>your pal,  scott c.</div>http://greatshowdowns.com/post/16770215111http://greatshowdowns.com/post/16770215111Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:10:00 -0500<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lymgwokole1qay9wgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“<span>I drive truck, break arms, and arm wrestle.
