The Republic of Thoronia

In honorarium of myself, I shall now direct you to the new thing in which me and my good pal Mojiferous have launched, a digital magazine/journal/multi-media explosion called 60 Seconds. Submit your stuff! Win fame and gold stars! If you have any questions just refer to this video:

I know, I know, you’re all thinking “New project?!?! Wait a minute, we never got the Republic of Thoronia point and click adventure game on the iPhone that you promised!” That’s a valid point, and I assure you that the game is still in the back of Mojiferous and I’s heads, in fact, here is a screenshot to keep you in anticipation:

The game may or may not be iPhone-able as the platform isn’t proving as easy to program for at this point. BUT I am going to point you in the direction of Mojiferous’ most recent accomplishment, Atomic Combat, which will be available soon!

Anyway, the whole point of this post is to let you all know that The Republic of Thoronia Band will be undertaking a new project over the winter. We’ll be recording a new soundtrack to the excellent Fallout 3. Why? Because frankly, the music in the game is background, and we think it provides an excellent platform to really expand on a lot of fun and interesting sci-fi musical nonsense. The soundtrack will follow the main quest, with a bonus EP of a select few side-quests. Look for it towards the end of January, and, as all things Thoronia, will be free.

So, we had some problems here in Thoronia. We posted an opinion on Deerhunter (an opinion, not a review) and it was linked to from a Deerhunter forum. This caused a lot of stress on the site, effectively taking it down. Why did this happen? Well, Deerhunter fans wanted to defend their honor, which is admirable, and we here in Thoronia think it’s great that they thought our sphere of influence was enough for it to matter. Of course, the bigger picture here is that we don’t have that much influence, the post in question was an opinion piece, not a review, and Deerhunter fans are idiots. We don’t like Deerhunter. Deal with it. It’s an opinion, when you resolve to overwhelm our site, which is TINY, it doesn’t accomplish anything except make us sad. Do you want to make Thoronia sad? Why would you want to do that? Lots of punches were thrown, including attacking the music of the Republic of Thoronia band. You can attack the music of the RoTB, that’s okay, but please do it on your own site in the form of a review or an opinion piece, don’t sit around and call us “cunts” and “idiots” or critique the album in the form of a comment. It’s stupid, doesn’t accomplish anything and… again, brings the site down. We live and work in the world and if you don’t like our opinions that’s quite alright, feel free to voice that in the comments, through email, or on your own blog, but when you link to us, give us a warning, give us a trackback and at the very least, withhold from making yourself look like an idiot. Case in point, we had to remove the offending post in order to move on. Sorry, but here is a quick summation: “I don’t like Deerhunter.”

On that note, here’s a song to make us all happy again:
