I saw this last night (while Drunk) and had to check that it actually existed.

Its glorious.

You know, I think that one of the things that appeals to me about anime is the lack of boundaries that would normally exist I in western drama. I mean, in the west, if we were making an action adventure serial, we would not generally worry too much about themes, motifs or character development. Indeed, characters in western drama (particularly in ( Read more... )

Well, this morning, I got a bit of a surprise.   Just as I was leaving the house, the postman rolls up with two special delivery parcels from Amazon.   low an behold, what should they be, but the 4th edition PHB and MM.  Once I calmed down and stopped bouncing, we shoved the PHB in my bag so I could have a look during my lunchtime.  so these are my ( Read more... )

As you all may know, I've been away from the UK Lrp scene for a while now, and I'm just getting back into it. Along the way I've 'convinced

Wohoo!   Online once again in the comfort of my own home, with a spangly new computer to call my own!

Ok, latest webcomic found yesterday on my lunch.

Loli loves Venom

It's about a cute little girl (think five or six) who finds the Venom Symbiote (from Spider man) and brings it home to be her pet.   It's essentially Calvin and Hobbs meets... I dunno, Lovecraft via Marvel Comics.
