I've been managing to keep up with the current releases of the new Doctor Who, and I have to say that I've been incredibly impressed with the latest series. It's very different from the last ones, and a huge breath of fresh air after the fourth series/four specials which were... underwhelming to say the least. I've been wanting to talk about it, ( Read more... )

A little less than three hours, and I defend. To say I'm a bit nervous is an understatement.

My little experiment with Buffy: The Vampire Slayer (which sounds crude, now that I think about it) is nearly at an end, on Season 7 finally, and I figured I'd write some words about it. I kind of started watching the series because I kept hearing how great the show was, and frankly, I really loved Firefly and I really loved Dr. Horrible, and I ( Read more... )

I had a professor once who had an idea he thought was revolutionary, that would essentially eliminate stoplights, basically when cars neared an intersection, a wireless system would take control of each vehicle timing it perfectly such that there would a constant flow of traffic, without the need for stoplights ( Read more... )

I usually don't post much about my field as it's a technical field, and frankly, not that interesting (apparently) if you're not really in it, but this is the stupidest exercise I've seen in a while. Worse even about how hyped the damn thing was and how it was connected to the government (it was very loosely connected, some of the guys were ex- ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've updated, for a variety of reasons (okay, two, laziness and thesis) so I figured it's as good a time as any to update. And what better thing to talk about that the vast amount of entertainment I've consumed, since I'm a pop culture sponge?

So I'm a little behind on the whole writing up the classes, but I felt like doing something a little different. I think every DM wants to eventually create their own world, so that's what this post is about. One thing that's kind of difficult is how much of the deity stuff is merely legend and how much is true. One thing that I kind of like ( Read more... )

I have the first draft of the first DnD ABCs article up. I'm not particularly pleased with it. I think there's some good things there, but I lean a little too much on knowledge of the mechanics. I also don't know exactly what people who have little to no experience with DnD are expecting. I tried to give mostly a brief overview of how they play ( Read more... )

Every once in a while I get a silly idea to try to improve my writing ability. My last attempt was daily blog posts, but I realize that I don't have a ton of ideas to write about. Then I realized that I'm going to try to convince my friends back home to do the whole total geek thing and play 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons, which is a fairly ( Read more... )

Seems like Alaska's crawling with not only vampires, but now Werewolves. I imagine summer is pretty bitchin' (ha!) for them, with the whole sun up practically 24/7.

"Alaska is a place where people disappear and now you know why," Miller said.

So gloriously stupid, I hope this takes place in like Wasilla or Palmer, just for extra amusement. ( Read more... )
