I was thinking of typing up a personal ad seeking a goblin shaman or rogue, but wireless is too spotty for online games from my apartment, as there are two exterior walls and a few paces between me and the lounge. My aunt suggested I get a booster for the cell phone. Is there some way I could do that for Internet, too, or should I just buckle ( Read more... )

-AARON SORKIN, screenwriter of The Social Network, acknowledging that the film, which purportedly tells the story of Facebook's founding, is sexist toward women because he was trying to depict a "deeply mysogynistic group of people" (Verbatim in TIME, 2010.11.08 ( Read more... )

I found some more stuff I wanted available at jpqueen, so I decided on a whim to try yet another order. If you want anything, you just need to tell me by 2008.06.07 (in a time zone close to the International Date Line), and we can share the shipping. As ever, there's a chance that the items will be bought by someone else if you don't tell me ( Read more... )

When thinking about 4th Edition for a later post, I happened to run across this. When I found it, it was at 355 posts and counting, so I'm too lazy to read it all, but the first page linked this. DM has been linking this wiki quite a bit lately, but apparently he only uses reputable sections, because the first paragraph here makes me say "What the ( Read more... )

Some of them are included in this really long list, but it doesn't mention the one that I find most dangerous. This is noted briefly, however, in the article I've been avoiding, but they don't ( Read more... )

My readership appears to be at an all-time high (apparently at least two regulars!), but I've accumulated quite a lot of stuff during its absence, to say nothing of my sloth and the fact that I've built up a lot of new things due to year's-end-and-beginning splurging. So, I'd like to see if you have any requests or suggestions. What I've got in the ( Read more... )

Between my falling out with daily_yuri and my irregular schedule, I haven't had it in me to watch my videos lately. Consequently, the files on Mother's computer are piling up again. (As I've mentioned before, I prefer not to burn files until I've watched them, to make sure they work properly and so I don't have to look up the official titles and episode ( Read more... )

Despite what I've said here, this one appears to be more like the Western version.

And in case you're tired of official English titles that aren't translations of the Japanese, here's the opposite. Interestingly enough, it translates roughly as "the L worLd."

[Edit (2007.11.24): The former is also discussed here.]

Well, it looks like they found Zul'jin. He's been missing for years, and casual fans have been confused about why the jungle trolls are all on about him.

Also, there's a non-"MANGA" WARCRAFT comic in the works, and apparently this shaman guy is badass enough that he can keep a Keeper of the Grove as a slave. "Where did you put my divine focus?"
