Text-based RPGs were a passion of mine from 10th grade (2002) until very recently. Right now my life is too busy to commit to much gaming, but a break from the hobby can do wonders to renew passion.Despite my distance I find myself ever-lurking, observing mistakes players make and acknowledging my own failures in the medium. With 8 years experience playing and 6 years modding, I'd like to think I've learned a thing or two. So, here I pass on some...

I randomly stumbled across this comic through a cute fluffy kitty drawing on the front page of DeviantArt (I'm Nimbuschick there, btw, if you feel like giving me points and llamas).The internet IS made up of a series of cats. The concept is brilliant, the execution is flawless.ASOC | A Series of CatsUpdates twice a week. Check it out for cute/funny overload! ...

I saw a blog entry a couple of months back about the most expensive dice in the world, and as cool as it would be to have a meteorite as dice, it's just not worth it to me. Gaming is fun, but I can't imagine spending $200 for something that might roll under the table and end up traveling through my dog's intestines.These dice, though, are cool and reasonably priced. Some of them, I'd say, are even cooler than the world's smallest dice or the...

I recently signed up for a listserv because I needed to give feedback on a bug I found with Firefox. First I'll fill you in on my bug and how their excuse is lame, then I'll fill you in on the SPAM atrocity that I am still not freed from and the new failures of the Mozilla company that I have discovered because of it.to skip the rest of the entry and get the latest update on the matter, click hereA few months ago I got a Mac. I discovered that bookmarks...

Pixar is awesome. If you don't agree with that statement then maybe you should check to make sure you still have your soul. Pixar, Queen, and the Lion King are the trifecta of things that everyone should love (I thought Journey was on that list, but apparently my father-in-law can't stand them).But why is Pixar so amazing when everyone and their uncle is trying to do 3D animated features? How many came out this spring?RangoGnomeo and JulietMars Needs...
Owing to the huge popularity of the Drama Intervention post, I have turned my article on how to avoid/resolve drama in online role-playing games into an eBook. Share it, enjoy it! I even found someone using it as the default drop box message in their game and someone else had it as their status on tumblr!Click the cover below to download the eBook in PDF format....

If you're a mildly competent person on the computer it can sometimes drive you insane. Face it, tech support is like calling the guys from The IT Crowd. "Hello, IT. Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again?" It's understandable that Tech Support thinks they have to cater to the computer illiterate. I'm sure 99% of their calls are really dumb. My husband works in tech support and he could tell you just how many calls he gets a day from...

My alma mater, the Savannah College of Art and Design, has a great sequential art program. For those of you who don't know, sequential art is basically defined as comic art. Of course SCAD gets it's fair share of students who naively think that their American-born bottoms are going to go to Japan and take the anime/manga world by storm, but those who stick with the program come out with a really marketable set of skills.Everyone from SCAD, no matter...

The internet has changed the way we research and shop for books. Amazon.com has been hugely successful and allowed millions of customers around the world to shop for books not available on mainstream retailer shelves. Now self publishing is cutting out the middle man. And it's not just books that are doing it...eBooksA few years ago if you asked me about eBooks I would have told you that they were a flawed concept. Face it, there's a reason we don't sit at our computer to read books. The screen hurts our eyes after long periods of time. Sans-Serif...

As my blogger profile says, I am a teacher, writer, and an actress. My BFA is majoring in Performing Arts and while I haven't done paid work since leaving the Boston area, I am currently involved in an exciting local Birmingham film project, Lost in Reality. LIR follows Angelo, a struggling actor who gets himself roped into a drama-centered reality TV show where he has to play the part of "The Animal." Unsatisfied with his life, Angelo decides to...

OMG, just got back from THOR and IT WAS AWESOME. I really wasn't too hyped up for this movie because of all of the cheesy product placement and trading cards I'd seen, but nothing I had heard coming out of the behind the scenes stuff seemed bad and the cast seemed awesome and anything with Natalie Portman gets bumped up a letter grade in my book, so I had to drag my husband tonight.The movie was pitch perfect, blending the current Marvel Movie canon...

Rep. Dean Urdahl 18B, Minnesota.We tell bullied teenagers that things get better, and they do. Your happiness is not dependent on being cool after high school. In real life, people who punch you have charges pressed and spend time in jail. But we should never tell children that bullies go away. They still exist in life after the 12th grade and they're still something you have to deal with.Minnesota's Rep. Dean Urdahl is one of these bullies. What...

I was at Gamestop at the Galeria the other day-- by the way, after the gas they wasted me on a bait and switch, I will not go back there-- and I had a conversation with an employee that I frequently have with such individuals. I was buying a 1st anniversary present for my husband, a copy of Dragon Age II and I expressed shock that less than 5 weeks had passed and it was already sold back. He bragged that he beat the game in 3 hours.Wario knows a...
