One of my guildies recently posed a question that boiled down to “Is it weird for a 42 year old guy to play DnD with 20 year olds?” He wanted to get back in to gaming, didn’t have a group, signed up for the friendly local Comic Book Store’s open gaming. Group was young, his […]
So trying to get started back in the routine of posting again maybe isn’t such a good idea on the verge of a product rollout… As some of you know, Apple released a new toy this week. You might have seen a thing or two on the news about it. I had made up my […]
I know, we’re geeks, we like comics. But man, reading about them just makes me feel bad. I ended up on Wikipedia today, looking for Mr. Mxyzptlk information, and ended up reading the summary. And it’s awful. So much bizarreness. My favorite lines follow:

Today is Ada Lovelace day. Presumably it’s her birthday, which is why it’s her day. I’m too lazy to google it. Ada Lovelace was, arguably, the first programmer. She wrote the algorithms that Babbage’s difference engine ran on. The day is being used to promote/celebrate women in technology and such. Which is good. But it […]

Okay, I finally get it. Until now, I’ve never really had gadget lust. I’ve liked some stuff, but there’s never been anything I’ve wanted to hug and pet. I like my 360 and my laptop, but that’s really because I play games on them. Now I have a Droid. Perhaps iPhone users feel this way, […]
And here’s part 3, which is the last of the parts. It’s even more specifically related to MxO. And also the last of my gimmie posts. If I’m gonna hit my “3 posts a week” metric, I’m gonna have to start being original now. Bugger. This one was written 2 months after the others. In […]
A sort of in-characterish send up of an MMO, or another game, or what have you. It’s not strictly in character – it’s more me editorializing about it, and imagining things about the character in game.
Cause we sure as hell aren’t posting. ;) I have a follow up building to paying for games, based around the fact that there are a fair chunk of good, free MMOs out there. But yeah….

When you have plans to post something, and you’re pretty sure it’s interesting, and then in the process of trying to do so you realize you forgot your username, and then in the process of figuring it all out you finally log in, and then have no idea what you’d originally planned to post about. […]

Reference Crush Videos in the throw away paragraph. When Congress passed the law and then-President Bill Clinton signed it in 1999, lawmakers were especially interested in limiting Internet sales of so-called crush videos, which appeal to a certain sexual fetish by showing women crushing to death small animals with their bare feet or high-heeled shoes.
