I mentioned a while ago that I was going to put my regular D&D game on hold to try something different for a bit. I was feeling a bit burned on on that particular story and I needed a break. I still wanted to DM but my group has fallen in love with Warmachine and so I’ve decided to create a sort of hybrid game.
Monday night has morphed into some runaway Guy's Night anachronism, but if living in the walled complex of this cliche means that I can (with the boundless well of enthusiasm unique to the zealot) wreck robots for hours and hours while absolutely abdicating my responsibilities as a husband and father then yes. I need something, anything, to stave off the black ball of fear in my gut re: annual prostate exams.
I’ve always thought it was interesting that in the comic, Tycho maintains his atheism in spite of the fact that he hangs out with Jesus all the time.
The strip is probably the only place he and I can discuss religion without getting into a fistfight. His concern (generally speaking) is something we discuss often, though. I can't get through a ten minute conversation with my own son without loosing a quiver-full of immaculately constructed lies. If he had any conception how ridiculous, insulting, and arbitrary his shit was about to get, his quatrains would get even more despondent.
As I've already suggested, TRON: Legacy contains within it a host of discrete films, and positions you can take, so that at the culmination of the experience you can enjoy the film or brood in the unassailable tower of your own intellect. That may sound facetious, that you can either agree with me or be a Goddamned twat, and these are the only choices available. What's true is that there are many valid ways to approach it, and not all of them leave the film entirely unscathed. I can answer any of the questions posed by the strip very simply, but at the same time I don't want to grant a writer something they haven't earned or paper over their relatively straightforward laziness with my own incalculable power. Scott's suggestion that the club represents Flynn's playlist was pretty funny, I thought.
What the what? Back to back videozzz? I know! It's crazy.
There is a pretty awesome article over at Comics Alliance about some of the casting in Thor, specifically the black casting, because blackity black black. We have made a comic on the topic, and Vantage Point Productions busted their asses to put together a bonus episode of The 4th Panel to accompany it.
New episode today. Where do your shirts and other Penny Arcade things come from? They come from here.
With the WoW Glider case having been examined on appeal, the legal furor between Activision Blizzard and the makers of the automation tool is front page news again. We tool the liberty of dramatifying the opening arguments.
Every time I scroll down the page, I'm surprised to see a cat with its dick out. Every time.

My cohort feels bad about his regular Monday game going on hiatus - I would submit - because he hasn't seen or run enough tables to know that far from being a statistical anomaly this is actually the most likely outcome. The misshapen wreckage of promising campaigns is heaped in smoking pyres, charred and unrecognizable. Whole realities are thrown away or put on hold, and the mortals that strove to win them find obliteration instead of a hero's rest.
