    Well, I would, but I'm short on time - so just imagine that Snarf wrote this post... :p

    Old Lady Gamer

    I used to tell people that I gamed with, "I have dice older than you..." Now I tell them that I have dice older than their parents...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    Technically, building dioramas was a hobby of mine even before I got into painting minis as a teenager. (I was one of those kids who built elaborate set-ups for their Matchbox cars anytime there was a dirt pile available...) If I had the room and the time, I'd probably be like one of those model...

    What Are Your Non-Gaming Hobbies/Interests?

    I recreationally plot the murders of friends and coworkers... :p I was a member of the RKO Army, the Rhode Island Rocky Horror Picture Show cast for eight years, and used to perform at the national conventions. I have the lips and movie logo tattooed on my right shoulderblade. I've attended...

    watching time pass via tv show

    Well, I suppose watching Noah Wylie slowly aging on ten seasons of ER counts, even if you have to look really closely to notice it...

    Well, actually... :p One of the local video stores had some pretty obscure stuff in their sci-fi section.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was bitten by a raging barista once... For years afterward, during the full moon, I'd be compelled to intentionally screw everyone's name up and "accidentally" pour coffee on them... On an alternate note, there's a few local baristas I'm perfectly willing to be bitten by. :love:

    Computer games and the save checkpoint system

    Yars Revenge on the Atari 2600 - I played the same game for over eight hours (maxed-out at 99 lives for seven of them and rolled over the score more than eight times) and my friend Sal ate my dinner because this new-fangled "pause" thing was still eight or ten years away back then... :p Would...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    The entire extent of my Vampire gaming was one LARP session, and yet I somehow ended up with almost two feet worth of shelf-space of Vampire and Werewolf books when a "friend" who was into the game asked me if they could leave them at my house for a couple days and then fell off the face of the...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Well, they're usually in that part of town, so they just blend in with the rest of the people doing questionable things in cars in broad daylight...

    I kinda feel sorry for the next guy - liberal, conservative, whatever, he's gonna get judged and hammered on every single thing he does. Following Francis is gonna be like following Kennedy.

    I'd forgotten Patrick Stewart was in that... Matilda May was sooo hot in that film.

    The Oblivion Remaster Is Releasing Today. This Is Not A Drill.

    I'm actually a bit more fond of Oblivion than Skyrim... I'll probably be grabbing this at some point.

    D&D 5E (2014) Material component ideas for making an Efficient Quiver...

    Additional property - If you turn the quiver inside out, it transforms back into the githyanki for a certain amount of time, and vise versa... :p Cursed version - the gith does not consent to being turned inside out, and once per day you need to roll a die to see if it turns itself rightside...

    Computer games and the save checkpoint system

    Yeah, I was never much of a fan of checkpoints, mainly because I've always been one of those folks who always seems to need to leave/do something else right dead center between two checkpoints.

    At some point in the past week, my body has decided that it's become acclimated to getting only about five or six hours of sleep a night, and I am not nearly as tired as I should be right now. I should have been in bed an hour ago. I'm going to go do that now. Which means that I'll end up...
