Someone decided to make this delightful little take on Watchmen.

I suspect Alan Moore is right now having sex with something in order to curse the creator of that video.

So I've tried new Risk, and it is much much faster than normal classic risk. There are 8 objectives, 3 of which someone must get to win the game. Objectives include things like take over North America, take an entire continent you have no troops in on a single turn, and so on.

I'll be down seeing Guild sorts of folks this weekend.

In 1972 there was a man who knew how to hide from the past, much of what follows can be traced to that. It is not a normal thing to hide from the past, nor is it a good thing to do so.

While talking with that pernicious punster, the master of saying what never should be said, the rat fink who sunk Atlantis, sguth1982, we are discussing Sci-Fi and have come upon an awesome idea for a book.
