I've started playing Urban Dead, and am now a member of the Department of Emergency Management, after a Sunday full of discussions about the game.

It is quite fun, if time-absorbing at first. My first encounter with the city was not exactly optimal. I was placed far too close to the Big Bash (in fact, where I was placed is now being attacked by ( Read more... )

Air America is filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. This was somewhat surprising to me. On the whole, I have to say I am happy with this. While I enjoy the thought of a voice out there, fighting against the conservative trend...not like that. To use an abused reference, it is like using the Ring to defeat Sauron.

I'd like to go up to Seattle tonight, not really wanting to drive it. I probably will make an exception, however...I'd like to check out games at Alex's, since that starts earlier anyway, and then Megan's later (so no dinner for me, Megan). I suppose I should e-mail Alex, since I've no idea *where* his house actually is ( Read more... )

BTW, I've been using my parent's computer for the last few days. I didn't realize IE has tabbed browsing now (any attempt in installing Firefox invariably leads to problems with them). However, it is the most ass-backwards system. As near as I can tell, it opens up a new window, THEN collapses it into the window. The order of the windows is ( Read more... )
