According to this [FAKE- see below] BBC article, there is a kind of Mosquito whose bite is 100% fatal. After the victim dies, a parasite restarts the victim’s heart for up to two hours, where the victim is extremely violent. What’s even better has been the response: don’t these sound like the sort of thing […]

From A&B to Remotes & Nunchuks
This week for me has been all about the Wii. I was interested to know what the price was, but I already knew I was going to buy it. Mainly I wanted to know how long it would be before it was mine.
It Was the Only Logo Available
I find it very funny, considering all the the internet allows us to do and achieve, that the copyright logo carries very little legal weight. It can be slapped on just about anything, dates falsified, or you could even go so far as to copyright the copyright logo itself! Ryon and I had a discussion much like this […]
Wii Want Journalism!
Supposedly any minute now, Nintendo is supposed to announce the Japanese price and release date for the Wii (from which we can extrapolate the US facts), but nothing seems to be happening yet. But people in the comments are claiming that pre-festival, they played the Wii (it’s awesome) and the US price is going to […]
Spike's Scream Awards

Yes, there are multiple networks for women, and none other than Spike specifically “for men” except, you know, ESPN, Fox News, Cinemax, and, well, most of tv. On the flip side, Spike has Star Trek and Blade. Hmmm. All that aside, Spike has created their own […]

Following older discussions about the differences between the Chronicles of Narnia and the Lord of the Rings book series, as well as a lot of the inevitable flak pertaining to the Left Behind RTS game, I ask you: Can Religion be a part of Games, Comics, and Movies?
Neon Genesis Evangelion OVA?
According to ICV2, Gainax is in the works to produce four movies to completely retell the Evangelion story, but in a much simpler way. The move is designed to make the acclaimed series more “accessible” to new viewers (and presumably, viewers who were totally bewildered the first time around.) From the Article: “This “remake” will […]
Baltimore Comic-Con This Weekend
Just so that you are aware, if you are within five states of Maryland and have ever looked at a comic, you are required BY LAW to attend the Baltimore Comic-con this weekend. The punishment for disobeying the law is creative Panda attack.
Twice the work, double the crazy: Playtesting your own RPG
My current project (well, it’s been my current project for about 5 years now) is a supplement for d20 Modern. It introduces new classes, new character options, all that good crunchy stuff. It also has a very specific setting to the game that would need to be conveyed in a sourcebook to a GM. I […]
