Sorry this is late, but I wanted to have a chance to read the big comic from this week before I did my reviews. I may go back and add some more of the stuff I read last week, there was a bumper crop of comics. And there was also a bumper crop of huge, […]
Emergent Properties, 10:1 Rule, and Brute Force
A really good way came to me to explain what emergent properties are. You know when you write something, like a story or a poem, and someone says “Oh, I really like the subtext about such and such.” And you think about it, and yeah, there is subtext about such and such, but you didn’t […]
In the Grim Darkness of the Ninjal3wt There is only Pwnage
Via Penny-Arcade, it has been announced that Warhammer 40k is going to be developed into an MMORPG. This only makes sense. When the Warhammer Fantasy MMORPG was announced, I couldn’t help but ask “why?” The fantasy market of MMORPGs has, to put it lightly, been done to death. While The O has made some points […]
YouTube of the Week: AHHH THE BEES Edition
Just because I was reminded of it by Christopher Lee, here are the “best” scenes from the Wicker Man remake.

Comic Snap Reviews 2-22-07
Each week, I read a bunch of comics, and give you a brief statement about what I thought about the comic. Sometimes, I photoshop the comics and try to be funny. There are some spoilers but I try not to completely ruin a comic. This week, I might as well start with the big one…
Workshopping Games (and not Games Workshop)
The problem with taking several writing classes at once is that they ALL want to teach you how to workshop, even though there’s only so much you can teach about being a critical thinker about a piece of artistic expression. A lot of it is having experience in the field in question. For example, I’m […]
YouTube of the Week: Two Trilogies in 30 Seconds Edition
The user GuyWithGlasses on YouTube has a series of videos that compress your favorite movies down to 5 seconds each (give or take.) Here’s Star Wars in 5 seconds, then after the jump, the rest of the original Star Wars trilogy in 5 seconds each, then the Lord of the Rings trilogy in 5 seconds […]
