150th Post and Award!

150 POSTS !!!

I am in loving Korea, my leg is almost healed, and my blog has reached 150 posts! Life is good!

Bond's Blog is about a year and a half old now and has been a outlet for my voice throughout my time working at the Royal Tyrrell Museum, teaching kids in Birmingham, and living halfway around the world in Korea. It has become part of my life and I feel blessed to be part of a thriving and rewarding cybercommunity.

Speaking of which, Bond's Blog was nominated for the E for Excellent Blog Award by my good friend Traumador the Tyrannosaur! I am honored and surprised, and by accepting the nomination, I must also nominate 10 people to also receive the Excellent Blog Award...


I nominate the Canadian Surfer, the Weapon of Mass Imagination, Wanderlusting, the Flying Trilobite, Leslie's Blog, Jennifer Echols' Photography, Mutant Reviewer Movie News, Palaeoblog, Laleaps, and Tetrapod Zoology!

If I could send the award right back to Traum, then I would too. His site -The Tyrannosaur Chronicles - is a great read (In fact, I make a special guest appearance on this week's post!)

The above blogs are fantastic and are well deserving of the Excellent title! I hope they enjoy their awards as much as I enjoy and cherish mine!

Ghostbusters news

Some of you may remember when I posted an idea of making a video game out of the Ghostbusters. Well, someone has seen the light and gone and done just that!

Click on the picture to enlarge it!
Ray, Peter, Egon, and Winston are all there...and check out the updated Ecto-1!

Not only was this picture created, but also a prototype of the actual gameplay was released onto YouTube. Check it out below:



It is certainly not what I was expecting, but any Ghostbusters game will make me happy! Now don't get your hopes up too high. It seems the company making this game has hit a snag with obtaining the intellectual property rights to the Ghostbusters, so who know when it will be released.

And that's not all! A recent article states that there will be a third Ghostbuster movie!!! That's right! Dan Aykroyd has stated that Ghostbusters 3 will happen as a computer animated movie, with Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray doing their voices.
These are two great pieces of Ghostbusters news!!

Back off, man. I'm a scientist.

The Peter's finally meet. Plus Egon. (Thanks Dave!)

Who ya gonna call?

Haven't you ever been sitting around and wishing you had the coolest video game to play?

Well, I have. And I, along with my friends Craig and Cam, have come up with it! All we need is a bunch of money and the rights to...



The Ghostbusters Video Game!

Can you imagine? A first-person shooter style game where you play one of the four Ghostbusters (Peter, Ray, Egon, or Winston), roaming around a 3D New York City, using their proton packs and traps busting ghosts! You could follow the storyline of the movie, capturing smaller ghosts, working your way up to Gozer and the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man! You could drive the Ecto-1! You could even work with Slimer!

How cool would this be?!!!
