The Long Twilight Struggle
Shut up.
Yes, you. You there, dancing and cavorting and high-fiving everyone in sight. Shut. The fuck. Up.
I know it feels good. I know it feels like at least some of the stark terror has been chased away. Like Evil has taken a serious blow to the nads.
Don't celebrate too early. For fuck's sake, don't get complacentDon't get me wrong. ( Read more... ) -

A happy Day Of Birthing to our very own eldogo! Yay, El Dogo! -
You will know F.E.A.R....
...and then you will blow stuff up.
F.E.A.R. is a brilliant, Japanese-horror-film-inspired First-Person Shooter from Monolith that made quite a splash last year on its release. I don't yet own the full game (though the single-player demo made me jump and yell - it's so fracking scary it makes Doom 3 look like Frogger) and the multiplayer demo was ( Read more... ) -

I heart Watching Porn.
My weekend started off rather wonkily; I had been going in early to work every day this week, and last night it sort of caught up with me. TempleViper was already feeling bad (the building where she works has been getting the roof sealed with tar, and the fumes have made her sick and worn her out) and I spent all yesterday afternoon and evening on ( Read more... ) -
I'm not a vampire, I just play one on TV.
Damn. I haven't written hardly a damn thing in ages. I'm not the least prolific blogger I know, but I'm definitely one of the least, at least lately. I've actually had lots of things to write about, I just... haven't done so. Months of many busy things happening ( Read more... ) -
A note of interest to some
I didn't think a web browser could get much better than Mozilla Firefox.
Oh, boy. I was wrong.
A nifty little toy named Flock has just released its first public beta. It's derived from the Mozilla Firefox code base and so it, unsurprisingly, is proving quite stable (thus far). It seems to load and render a bit faster, and has a wealth of nifty ( Read more... ) -
