    Zork creators Wired interview a text game!

    Lost Treasures of Infocom just came out for iOS; I intend to play through every one of them, starting with good ol' Zork.

    2012---In Remembrance.

    If you haven't read the (brief) story of how he lost his arm in WWII, you must. Incredible courage, total Hollywood movie stuff, yet true.

    FRINGE--Final Season. Final Fight/Black Blotter#9

    Agreed, good episode with good motion. Turns out that I wish that most of the "freak of the week" episodes in the first couple of seasons didn't exist and there was more room for this (not that it would actually work that way). Very enjoyable.

    Netflix or Redbox?

    They complement each other nicely: Netflix streaming for a wide variety of movies, shows, documentaries, etc., and Redbox for the occasional desire to rent something recent.

    FRINGE--Final Season. Final Fight/ The Human Kind#8

    I liked it, too, though I also can't believe she fell for that old ploy.

    Attack Page warning?!

    For reference, in case you're seeing something different, Google lists multiple issues (all of which could have been from ads, certainly, but it sounds like it could be more than one): What is the current listing status for enworld.org? Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this web site...

    Buyers beware - but not in the usual way...

    I'm having a parallel problem with high-resolution computer screens: now that I use a hi-res iPhone, iPad, and MacBook all day, it's stunning how blurry and lousy the screens are that I've been using for the past decades. Crazy how fast the mind gets spoiled.

    Buyers beware - but not in the usual way...

    It's a digital signal that's either getting through or it's not. It can't get through any better with better cables, unlike the old analog days.

    The Sinking Isle!

    Agreed, which is why it's a good thing that it doesn't appear on any navigation charts for the area.

    The Sinking Isle!

    I'm sure it's a cartographic salt, which is an old, old trick, adding a false geographic feature or street in an out-of-the-way place, designed to make it obvious when someone copies your map. FYI, the same is done with phone books, mailing lists, etc. It's an effective ploy when the copier has...

    I like the way you folks think!

    FRINGE--Final Season. FF/ Five-Twenty-Ten#7

    Wondered when his hair would start falling out. Figured it couldn't be far away. :)

    60 Acre "Dungeon" For Sale

    I grew up just a handful of miles from there, had no idea those specific caves/mines existed (though there are a lot of cave storage areas along the Missouri river). You'd have to pay me quite a lot of money to live in that area again, however, cool cave thing or not. Very boring, rural, and...

    Robert Pattinson's true feelings about Twilight

    I'm shocked that he's getting other work. Studios used to refuse to work with actors who did that during publicity tours. Guess he's well-loved.

    Disney buying Lucasfilm for $4 billion! More Star Wars movies coming!

    Which would cover the famous scar the Star Wars-era car accident, neatly solving that continuity issue.

    The Walking Dead 3.5 "Say the Word" (spoiler warning)

    I assumed that Lori's body was torn apart and devoured by various walkers, and that the one with the distended belly just ate too much and so didn't wander away like the rest.

    The Walking Dead 3.5 "Say the Word" (spoiler warning)

    I think that was it. Rick's looking at all the blood on the ground, picks up something and recognizes it, this is where Lori's body should be but isn't there at all. He looks over and sees this zombie that is so full of food that it can't even move. He angrily attacks the zombie who he knows...
