Been playing WoW so much since it came out on the 23rd that it's starting to get in my dreams. Dreamt tonight that Kaska, my female orcish rogue, got plastered at the Crossroads inn, lost all her equipment at strip poker, and then wandered the Barrens in her underwear, eventually finding a Plainstrider and trying to get it drunk while having a ( Read more... )

As a distraction from all the political stress of the past few months I've started playing Nation States, an extremely simple political simulator where you get to shape your own country by submitting rulings on issues, a couple of which pop up every day.

Some frantic phone calls confirmed that it wasn't towed and that there seemed to be a rash of Subaru thefts in the area recently. I already reported the ( Read more... )

Yay, my first election as a US citizen! Going to see if I can slink off from work in the afternoon to beat the lines at the polling place. If anyone needs a ride to the polls tomorrow after work in the Pittsburgh area, I'll be happy to play chauffeur.

Ever since one of the guys from club pointed me to the torrents for AIRRADE, a truly demented (and highly entertaining) doujin game reinterpretation of Key's Air as a side-scrolling shooter, I've had one of the themes from the original game stuck in my head almost non-stop. The song, 夏影, was included on the AIRRADE CD as a bonus mp3 and is a really ( Read more... )
