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.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

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.
And people actually wonder how I ended up an athiest and turned my back on religion.
Have these people met you?

ND, your PS3 appears to be on, and yet neither you nor Kristin is playing LBP.
This is a crime.

What a stupid assumption. D&D players are polytheists who might worship any number of Gods, some of them even good deities like Tyr and Sune.
