Dexter

I just watched the first episode of Dexter (it is now 4:20am)

This could possibly be the greatest TV show ever. EVER.

The show speaks to me... I dont know if I should be worried, or if the authorities should be worried.

This is about the coolest damn thing I've ever seen. Its strange when you see or read about this kind of stuff in science fiction and then it becomes reality.

I checked out the Con on the cob thing

I might be interested in going. I like all of that talk about the booze and parties.

Are you guys going? I think I could use a few days of doing nothing but drinking beer and being a disruption to serious DnD players.

them: "my elf opens the chest"
me: "your elf *hic* is a big fag..."
them: "come on, this is a serious game *whine*"
me: "you know how I know your *hic* gay...?"

heh

I normally would hate to link to Fox News ...

... but they were the ones to report that George Lucas thought that Spider-Man 3 was "silly".

From the FA:

Lucas told me he has seen all the summer movies since his company, Industrial Light and Magic, does most of the special effects. The only one they didn't work on was "Spider-Man 3." What did he think of it?

"It's silly. It's a silly movie," he said. "There just isn't much there. Once you take it all apart, there's not much story, is there?"

Well, it's not "Star Wars."

"People thought 'Star Wars' was silly, too," he added, with a wink. "But it wasn't."

Do I even need to comment on this??

How much you wanna bet ...

... that they bury this fucker in an unmarked grave?

Jerry Falwell, dead at 73.

'Cause you know that grave would be desecrated like a mother fucker by everyone he's ever pissed off. Probably arranged to have an armed guard for it. Rot in Hell, you cocksucker!

CthulhuTech



he Last War
2085. Humanity faces extinction. Alien insects from the edge of our solar system, long hidden behind the façade of reality, descend to enslave us. Hordes of unspeakable horrors roll out from Central Asia, laying waste to anything in their path. The church of the fish-god scours the world for lost occult secrets to unleash terrible forces. Dead gods awaken and turn their dreadful eyes toward the Earth. And within hides a cancer, eating away at the very heart of the New Earth Government.

This is the Aeon War. This is the time of CthulhuTech.

Climb inside a thirty-foot tall war machine and rain down hell on the unwavering Migou. Fight tooth and nail on the front lines against the horrific beasts of the Rapine Storm. Seek out the disgusting corruption of the insidious Esoteric Order of Dagon. Explore the dark world of the malignant Chrysalis Corporation and their unseen monstrous agents. Sift through secrets long thought lost and bend the power of the cosmos to your will. Join in symbiosis with something beyond time and space and become a shape-shifting bringer of wrath.

Nowhere else will you find a setting like this.

Finally caught up with heroes

Holy Crap.

I dig the future heroes, you know, dark and badass!

I did not expect the whole bit about who the president really is. And I dig a superhero story where some motherfuckers gotta die.

Nothing drives hoplessness home like 2 bullets in the back!

Jack Valenti, former head of the MPAA, dead at 85. He was kinda a douche, but he did do an episode of Freakazoid, which forgives many sins.

Bobby "Boris" Pickett, dead at 69

Mmmm, public domain goodness ...

Public Domain Torrents offers several Bittorrent powered downloads of public domain movies. There's a lot of stinkers there, but a few real gems. If you've never seen the 1940's Superman animated shorts, you could do a lot worse.

Pearl the Landlord

A pretty funny clip from Will Ferrell. Parents with kids will be especially pleased, I think ....

Whoa. Just ... whoa.

Dungeon and Dragon magazines cease publication in September.

Whoa. I can't say I'm overly surprised, considering the move to on-line publishing most companies have done, but it's still a bit of a shock.

Any bets on there being a wake at Gencon?

Bad enough that Sledge Hammer is available on DVD, but coming out tomorrow is both Gymkata and Looker ... at least with Looker you can get tits in the afternoon any time you want ...

College students and stoners are in mourning everywhere

Because the inventor of Cup O' Noodles has died. I wonder if he'll be cremated, then stored in one of those little styrofoam cups ...

The song in this video is by Voltaire, who was also responsible for The Vampire Club, which some of you might remember from my con road trip mix ... Good times, good times...

Saddam is dead

Right around 11pm (our time) on December 29th, or about 6am on the 30th in Iraq. They showed Hussein being led to the gallows and the noose being placed on his neck, but Iraqi state TV froze the picture before the actual hanging.

The Taliban and Al Qaeda are already asserting that the Jihad against the United States and it's allies will intensify. Even though he was found guilty and sentanced to death by a court comprised of Iraqi's.

So, I was watching CNN at 3 in the morning... a car bomb was set off in a parking garage at a Madrid airport. Reps from the airport said they got a warning call 45 minutes before the bomb was detinated.

They said this is the M.O. of Baathist separatists. Saddam was the leader of the Baath Party... Coincedence?
