Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

No expect to see me for some time.

I fibbed. I had to share this, x-posted with Movies...

For those of you sitting on the fence about Blu-Ray, Amazon is offering a $100 off Blu-Ray players when you buy a player plus 4 Warner Bros Blu-Rays. That's a damn good deal, especially since Amazon is one of the cheapest places to buy Blu-Ray discs.

The sweeter thing? The selection of Blu-Ray players includes the Playstation 3.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

OMG fallout 3 comes in a lunchbox!

Report from a non-player of video games: Little Big Planet is, indeed, cute. It is not compelling me to pick up a controller and play, but it's awfully charming. And the music is relentlessly earwormy. As in, I suspect that all of the music was written as a side project of The Gorillaz -insanely catchy.

move out and draw fire

So as of this week, there are finally some goth songs available for Rock Band. They added a Siouxsie pack.

I've been griping for a while that although 25% of the animations and clothes are goth, there isn't any goth music. So it's a start.

In more traditional RPG news, this is a freaking hysterical list, based off 213 Things Skippy Is Not Allowed to Do: [link]

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Hrmph. So, apparently $17,000 was raised at Gen Con in honor of Gary Gygax, and donated to his favorite charity, the Christian Children's Fund.

The CCF rejected the donation because it came from gamers (who are all Devil Worshippers, don't you know?) [link]

And people actually wonder how I ended up an athiest and turned my back on religion.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

How very Christian of them.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Have these people met you?
