  • With Gygax’s passing, and reading Robert Howard, I’ve been thinking about this stuff

    OK, so I’ll concede it is possible to transition from D&D into a real marriage. And I’ll say that people should probably not get as worked up about opposing the game as some have. But these comments about females and D&D strike me as a load of skubola (sanctified pastor-speak). The reason […]

    Halo too

    Ever since my iMac bricked I’ve been jonesing to go online and play. We have a new PC now (Yah, with Vista. It came installed. I didn’t have much choice. And it was half the price of replacing the iMac–which has been such a great experience except, you know, the logic […]

    Dawkins is not the threat to Christianity in North America

    Neither is any other atheist, pagan, or infidel. No, intellectual, cultural, and artistic endeavors by North American Christians out-gun them all.

    This will be the lasting legacy of the Religious Right.
    I’m going to resist the Pogo cliche.

    Hollywood officially out of ideas

    I just heard on my G4 gaming news podcast that “they” (?) are making a movie based on the arcade game–can you believe this?–Joust.  Better.  It will be set in a future Las Vegas that hovers up in the sky.
    I doubt I’m ever going to see that movie, but I would have purchased tickets to […]

    Webb, Halo, Wii, Wolfe, books, and the Thor Power Tool Co.

    Webb went into a funny rant today about Halo 3 and “remember when they used to make enough product instead of hype and hype and hype and then, ‘Sorry, we can only release twelve.  Fight amongst yourselves.’”
    This struck me a little more seriously than it should have because I asked about the Wii at BestBuy […]

    John Woo is getting more than a movie

    I’v had a slight fascination combined with repulsion for John Woo’s movies. I like the action for awhile but eventually get quite bored (I’m not joking or exaggerating; I had to fast-forward through parts of hard-boiled and face-off).

    Now I know what to get Jeff Meyers for Christmas

    How cool!
    “It used to bother me that he played that game so much” said Elizabeth Grimes of her 13 year-old son Danny. “He would sometimes wake up on a Saturday and play all day long without stopping. He never read his Bible either. But now I’m much more at ease. With those Bible verses always […]
