This week’s Random Encounter comes to you solely because it snowed a half an inch in about 1 hour’s time this afternoon in Maryland. Trapped in such weather, be sure to arm yourself with delicious meats, so as to fling them at other survivors in hopes that the Ninjar…Polinja…Polar Bearinjas forsake you for a more protein […]

Inq. of the Week: Pick your Poison

YouTube of the Week: "D&D has pie. Does WoW have pie?" Edition
