Obligatory Independence Day Post

This country is pretty okay, I suppose. Like so many things, this country is run by some sort of system of government, which involves politics, none of with I can do anything even vaguely about. The wheels of it keep on turning, and sometimes I vote, I have even called up a congressperson once or […]

Back into the fray, I suppose.

Well, we finally finished up all our Hamster runs. It didn’t even end with any sort of exciting moment or anything. The run was one of the smoothest we had. It was all business as usual. Hodgman went down, and our last team member got their Hamster. And then, suddenly, I could ascend again. It […]

This is, gods, way way too many words on the topic.

It’s time for a pointless spiel about Penny Arcade! I like Penny Arcade. Hell, you like Penny Arcade. Everyone likes Penny Arcade, and there are good reasons why everyone likes Penny Arcade. Recently, Penny Arcade put forward a series of story starters for people to vote on. This is when the problems started happening. Now, […]

No, seriously, I have no idea why it took me so long.

I am a person who is serious about T-shirts. Really serious. I spend way more time deciding what kind of t-shirts I am going to buy and what particular shirt I am going to wear every day that I should really be admitting to. (I can’t decide… I CAN’T DECIDE BRAIN ANEURYSM!) If you buy […]

I always wanted Netflix too, but since I never watch movies, it seemed a pointless expense.

Ever since I have had a steady paycheck, I haven’t really rented vidjeo gamez. I suddenly had money to spend on things, and dammit, I care enough about games that that’s where all of my money went. Lots and lots of money. Lots and lots and lots of it. Lots of it. It didn’t seem […]

Retail!

I always used to wonder why people bitched so much about working retail. I mean, I have a retail job, and I really don’t mind it. Almost like it some days. Sure, I’m just working for the paycheck, but that’s why you go to work. I could think of many jobs I would rather do, […]

I also got a Turkey for the first time in awhile.

So, on Friday, I finally got to try out my new bowling ball. This was a moment months in the making. Mostly because it took months for me to actually get the ball. After I ordered it, the guy is like “I will call you back when it’s here! No problem!” and because, you know, […]

Exploring Templ(beta), the hottest new Web 2.0 dungeon.

After, what… months? Month? We finally managed to schedule another play session of high-level DnD campaign. And man, it was an epic one, lasting into the wee hours of the morning and being entertaining! Maps that spanned literally every doodling surface we had! Puzzles! Destroying priceless art! Me having like a million action points and […]

IoTM Review: But they cancel each other out!

Hey! Twilight Heroes had an IoTM. Well, two, really. What happened to them, eh? Item number 1: Hobbes’ Nail Boots. Yay! An IoTM boot that isn’t Roderick’s Boots which is one of the few IoTMs I don’t have! Victory, or something! But seriously, besides Roderick’s, there just isn’t a shoe in the same caliber as […]

Note to game designers: If your characters are going to throw out witty sound bites, you best record a metric ton of them.

I never played or had any need to play the original Mercenaries. It didn’t seem like a game I would enjoy at all. Mercenaries 2 was originally skipped for similar reasons, as well as due to their completely scary-ass box art. I don’t want to play as that guy. I don’t even want to have […]
