October 19, 2005 by Bartoneus

A new era of technology has dawned. Since the introduction of video capability to the IPod, a gateway to darker and more sinister worlds has flung forth. Government scientists have already begun work on a program to allow satellite link-up with this amazing device, literally letting me check out my own ass wherever I go […]

October 18, 2005 by spankleberry

As soon as I saw her there just across from me in the tube, I immediately whipped it out and pointed it at her, heedless of doors that threatened to close on my precious appendage I was talking about my camera, of course.

Lost is the best show on television. Ever. No arguing. Shut up!

October 17, 2005 by Bartoneus

As recent, empirical, all-encompassing, and many other large-worded descriptors data proves, Lost is by far the best television show ever. The data to which I refer, of course, is the fact that I-tunes top 100 downloaded video list is dominated by the current season of Lost. As we all know quite well, I-tunes is basically […]

October 14, 2005 by Dave

Star Wreck: The Pirkinning is a full length parody science fiction movie made entirely by some Finns and a lot of computers. It is a fan made film, but from the dead on computer generated ships, you might not know it until you actually saw the actors.

The Cheater

October 13, 2005 by Bartoneus

Why didn’t I write down everything in my notes? I could have meticulously recorded every bit of information I heard, and then I wouldn’t be in this situation at all. I peered upon golden rays of knowledge, brighter even then the sun itself, only to have them lost to me now.

You Could Have It So Much Better – Franz Ferdinand

October 10, 2005 by Bartoneus

Sometime around April of 2004 I began to find delight in listening to the radio again. Where once my ears were assaulted by racking vibrations, which ate away at your ear’s inner workings, there now was the occasional trumpeting of angels. Perhaps the real events were only slightly akin to those described above. One of […]

The Meeple Revolution has Begun!

October 8, 2005 by Dave

First, they were studied extensively… And now, what once were considered harmless wooden citizens of a medeval French town have begun to invade. Beware, the meeples are coming! Who knows what effect Essen will have on these startling developments. –Dave

A 600 lb. Gorrilla

October 7, 2005 by Bartoneus

Poker has become a plague that is sweeping across the country. I can remember nigh over a year ago when barely anyone I knew wanted to play the game. CARDS? POKING? What is this ancient, non-computer based abomination?
