Welcome to Hell boys and girls! If you have nothing better to do for the next 10 minutes or so, then do try not to be bored to death by the first blog entry (And probably the longest) for this site!

Well odds are that if your visiting here, you are either rejoicing the fact that the entity known as Cronos has returned to spice things up around here, you just dumped a steamy wad of buttcoals in the back of your shorts in fear of what I'll do next, or even both!

However, rest easy (Or let a sigh of mourning) that the intent of my return is not to waste anymore of my precious freetime in mocking emulation net nerds with little c0x syndrome...

Well at least not on a "fulltime" basis! I already crushed everyone worth crushing anyways... Everyone else has been rather moderately well behaved, and those that used to matter who were egomaniacal nerds; are either gone from the sk3n3 or are now about as influential and adored as a moldy rat turd infested with Hanta virus! So onto other things! ;)

So why did I start this site then, you ponder... Why simply to show the current and long standing front office of EmuChrist that they are the Diet Coke of evil, and most importantly that I can do a better logo banner! JK Brad!

In all seriousness... This site humbly started as an online documentation project for my past and future custom arcade/gaming machines. Seems that with my first one the "EmuChrist" cabinet... People were really intrigued with some aspects of it, mostly with the control scheme AKA The Salad Bar. And I found myself typing the same emails over and over again and a lot of the guys at the EC front office got sick of trying to track down my on the unders ass to forward the emails to. So originally I wanted to redo that projects site with the information people really seemed interested in knowing. With another cockpit/sitdown type machine currently in the works, and at least a couple others in the "cpncept" stages. I thought that I could have enough content in the future to deem worthy of a dedicated site. This aspect of the site has been about a year in the planning.... But was delayed because some arsehole at one of these wannabe home based businesses kept jerking me around for several months regarding a certain limited edition run of a POS spray painted flight yoke with 200k pots! Ahem! Anyhow, until I had some certain parts I had limited content for upping a decent dedicated site! Well enough of that...

Along the way I had some other things come to mind... Some interest crept up on the EC forums and many other places beyond regarding my actual career side over here on the real side of the box. Being that the pulp mag I prolifically wrote for has bit the big OOP for probably the final time... Full reprint rights were returned to me by the then owner and EIC for many of my older "Weird Tales." And thus I can now expose bits and pieces from my "Worlds of Fantasy & Horror" onto you directly... And still most likley retain the brunt of my beloved anonymity! However, these are indeed some archaic tomes, some dating back 20+ years.... Before the dawn of the word doc! I have a choice of presenting these in two forms... Either via scanned image or most likely the route I'll take, retyped, as I need to archive these better than they currently are. In either case, this dimension of the site, will take some time... But I do plan to have at least a full chronology of published and unpublished work up soon, and even maybe a small bio to go along with... For my trip thus, has indeed been long and strange... And should make for an entertaining read!

Considering bringing some of my tales to this fourm, I then thought of all the volumes of weird crap I have archived via VHS and DVD from years of being in the biz as a maestro and fellow fanatic. While most if not all of what I have sitting behind locked doors has already been reviewed somewhere on the net, but most of the time these reviews seem to be written by those who want to be so detailed they spoil the entire flick and usually they jjust can't find the value in astonishingly bad crap like this! And speaking of astonishing, these are typically found at horror movie review sites whom should have someone on board with a true eye for finding the faintest shine in a lump of fossilized crap. But no... They rather give the Sound of Music a high rating than Dawn Of The Dead! So I'll be featuring reviews for almost everything that I have, striving to specialize in even the rarest of the nasties... I'll even try not to SPOIL the whole movie for you either. The goal is to write a review much like the first pages of a story... Reveal just enough for the reader to decide if they should continue, or desist! The goal until I cath up is one movie review a day.... Which should keep me busy for another couple of years!

And lastly I'll get around to posting some links for whatever meaningless pieces of webspace I feel inclined to deem worthy.

Also I now feel like being bothered again! So you can shoot me an email concerning anything you'd like. Just please bear in mind that I'm real busy! So it may take some time to get back to you. But I will return your correspondence, as long as your not sending me the bird or the like!

I hope you are entertained with this meager opening, and with the things to come! Tis my sole purpose in life...

Messis ex Morte,

Cronos
