Doot doot doot doot doot… doo!

February 12, 2006 by Dave

I wasn’t going to get a DS. I already have a PDA with a Nintendo emulator, why would I need another portable game system? It looks like I may have to change my mind: Super Mario for the DS A new Mario side-scroller? OMFG!

Haven't you always wanted to brag that you were a Mystic Theurge?

January 24, 2006 by Dave

Someone once said to me, “The way I vote for President is that I look at the two canidates and decide which of them would be a better wizard, because the skills required for wizard and president are very similar.” I guess that’s why Al Gore lost, because as we know from Futurama, he’s a […]

King Kong Sings Songs, Jack Black Acts

December 19, 2005 by Dave

This weekend I saw Peter Jackson’s Epic, err, his STAND-ALONE epic, King Kong. If you’ve seen the original, or even The Simpsons parody, you’re not really going to be surprised by any part of the story (and so I’m going to go ahead and say there be spoilers ahead) but it’s well worth watching nonetheless.
