January 31, 2006 by Bartoneus

Some great intellect has devised a method of utilizing Google’s mapping program to produce a full overhead map of the world of World of Warcraft. Much more detailed then the in game map, this is an actual image of the very terrain that you walk over, including some regions I until recent thought untraversable. While […]

It’s Alan Moore for chrissakes, you can’t ask for much more. Moore. This is definitely one on your must-read list. Along with 1984. […]

January 27, 2006 by drscotto

Penny Arcade: Attack of the Bacon Robots

January 27, 2006 by Bartoneus

At one point, I may or may not have philosophized that a truly blessed world was one in which a printed collection of Penny Arcade existed. Within this fictional universe, cults of idolaters worshipping the almighty Wang roamed the streets preaching their massive growth potential, while children who played violent videogames were no longer judged […]

D&D is REAL! This comic strip says so!

January 25, 2006 by drscotto

I’m a Roman Catholic and I find this to be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. I am more amused by the stupidity of the author/characters than anything else. Want to see what is so stupid? Click here!

Is Your IP Bad Enough to Rescue the President?

January 25, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

Here’s one for the kiddies… how awesome is YOUR IP address ? The site rates your IP number in various ways (including a poker hand!) and gives you a score at the end based on it. Sadly, my IP is only worth 23 points. Here’s my poker hand: Ace of ? Diamonds Ace of ? […]
