    The Grand New Xbox Experience

    I personally think it's borked. I don't care for the new interface. It's a step-down from the old Dashboard and that wasn't even close to perfect. It was avatars. Whoopdeedoo, you copied Nintendo, you should be proud of yourselves! Personally, I've been having weird connection issues since...

    Which is D&D? 4e or 2e?

    So how do you like playing your anime, video-gamey 3e? ;)

    Which is D&D? 4e or 2e?

    2e did not have half-orcs, assassins, monks, and it had THACO, thus it is not D&D. Sorry, guess you really haven't been playing D&D all those years. [/sarcasm] That would most likely be the reason. People tend to get a bit aggravated if someone 'insinuates' that the game they love and play is...

    Dexter Season 3

    Holy crap, Jimmy Smits is awesome. Dexter is easily the best show on television right now. Great cast, great writing, great plotting.

    Guide to Adventure Writing

    I disagree with some things in the OP's post, but I agree with this. :o Everyone has opinions, but not everyone states them in such well-organized and well-written ways, so kudos to Jim. You've given me some things to think about for when I DM my next game. :)

    November '08: What are you playing?

    Playing... living... Fallout 3. Everything about Oblivion that annoyed me is gone, replaced with total awesomeness. I'm like a little kid about to get diabetes in a candy store whenever I turn on VATS. Also playing Guitar Hero World Tour on the side a bit. The song list is pretty fantastic...

    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    Since you have Science and Sneak, at the far end of the Super Mart, right across from the entrance is a terminal. If you hack that, you can get into the storage area and release a guard robot that will attack the raiders. Let it do its thing and it could conceivably kill a bunch for you. I...

    October '08: What Are You Playing?

    One of my coworkers says it's the most frightening game he's ever played and that I get to experience it when he's done. I can wait. :o Guitar Hero World Tour this Sunday and Fallout 3 next Tuesday! I'm gonna be broke! Weeee.

    The Superhero Movie equivalent to "odd-numbered Star Trek movies"

    Minor correction. 'Even-numbered' not 'odd-numbered.' ;)

    Fallout 3 Has Gone Gold; System Specs

    Bah. I've played all of ten minutes of Fallout 2 and this still looks awesome. Maybe Fallout 3 will actually make me want to go back and try to play through the first two. :)

    Fantasy authors worth the reading.

    I'd give that 'award' to The Fires of Heaven which was an awful book the last time I read it. The only thing redeeming the book was it's good ending, but then Lord of Chaos had the same problem.

    The 4E Monster Manual: good...bad...ugly..

    It's... okay. The Good: The layout is great, the art is nice, it looks like it's really easy to use without any prep (something most of the other MM have lacked). Variant monsters are a great idea and seem well implemented. The Bad: There are very few hooks in the monsters. I don't know about...

    Aug '08: What are you listening too?

    Been listening to my iPod on the way to work and back. My Black Sabbath playlist (100% Dio/Ozzy), my Anthrax playlist, my GnR playlist, and my Dream Theater playlist have been in heavy rotation lately.

    Fantasy authors worth the reading.

    Well... I kinda look at Malazan as a big, Micheal Bay-ish style fantasy. Cool, superpowered fights with lots of explosions, kinda cool, paper thin characters built up out of pretty cliche archetypes and lots of stuff that, generally, doesn't make much sense but is cool to look at. I also dig...
