RIP Keith Herber [link] Fungi from Yuggoth was a seminal Call of Cthulhu adventure.

There's a nice obit that applies more widely:

It happens in Geekdom, that many individuals contribute great portions of their creative time and energy to their obsessions and niche loves without receiving wide recognition or great financial gain.

So if I'm thinking about a garden just like the one in the Arcane University in Oblivion, which thread does that belong in?

Gardening thread.

So I guess first you'd have to go to Bureaucracy and propose a gardening thread.

Or is gardening a craft and therefore should be discussed in Minearverse?

That was a pretty garden, plus think of all the money you'll make selling potions.

I've heard that Fable II has internet content - I guess you open some treasure chests and insted of giving you an item they give you a URL, which you then surf to, play another little game, and then get a unique prize, which you will have the next time you log in to FAble II on the Xbox.

Rock Band also has crossover stuff between Xbox and internet.

Are these just for Xbox owners? Do the other consoles do the same sorts of things? Do other games do this?

The Wii keeps asking me if I want to log-on to the internet but I keep saying no.

amych, the alchemy garden from the Frostcrag Spire add-on would be much cooler.

the physically aggressive plants might be hard to find, though, so perhaps venus flytraps instead of harrada?

(also, for a true Oblivion garden, put in some pitcher plants and then ignore them.)

After a great many hours playing the latest GTA, I'm pleased to report I've completed 25% of the game.

I've never played this. Does that mean you've stolen 25% of a car?
