Origins…

Posted by admin | Filed under The How's and Why's

As the inaugural post for “The Riddle of Steal-The Blog”  we thought it might be worthwhile to give the reader a brief look into the creation of this blog and its subsequent creative process.

Origins:
Two guys, best friends, born in the 70’s, raised on the classics: Star Wars, Superman, Raiders, Contra (you get the picture).  We love our Texas home, but are currently enduring a generous layover in the PacNW.  During our usual banter of all classic movies from the 1980’s (again, our formative years) we decided to discover what mysteries awaited at “RiddleOfSteel.com.” Surely, geeks the world round had inquired about this before, assuming some pioneering Gen Xer would have captured the domain years ago in order to pay homage to such greatness…
“Hither came Conan, The Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandaled feet.”
-Robert E. Howard, The Phoenix on the Sword, 1932.
What? Nothing? Really?  After all this time has no one on Earth thought to lock this domain up?
Saab caught the malfunction.  Instead of ‘The Riddle of Steel‘ Tone had typed, ‘Steal.’ All the better (you’ll soon understand why).  Our blog was born.
Now this is not just any other blog.  Many blogs participate in keeping readers informed on the ever-changing political landscape, while others strive to share the spotlight of Circus Hollywood.  And still, other blogs lend their share to the discussions on everything from diets to a proper liberal wheat-free child-rearing camp in the Columbia River Gorge as witnessed here in the PacNW.
The Riddle of Steal transcends many of these thoughts and observations and serves to help us better understand our primary wounds in this early 21st century.  The consistent shit shoveling by studios, their film makers and video game creators alike, focused on the sole purpose of stealing our minds, souls, and hard earned cash.
Was it some trick of fate that we ended up with the misnomer: ‘Steal?’
We think not…How many movies should have never been made?  Shit-loads.  Are there classic video games lost to the ages? No doubt.  Do Tone, Saab, and the rest of fandom got better ideas?  Unequivocally: Fuck Yes.
So here we have The Riddle of Steal. A blog for us and maybe for you…a blog that will give us solace when the cinema has lost its central AC, a blog that will keep us gaming far past ‘next-gen’ efforts.  A blog that begs the question-what the fuck is going on out there in entertainment land!?
Enough with the test audiences, enough with the demos.  The great will never be made.  But The Riddle of Steal has arrived, to pave a new path and offer imagination to hopeful throughout the world, proudly proclaiming cool shit still exists.  Problem is, it’s in the heads of these two Texans.
Coming Soon:
First Official Post:  Best video game rated ‘M’ for mature audiences that will never be made:
Predator: Get to the Chopper!”
