I'm sure I've mentioned this before, and I'm sure it's been talked about to death in the various RPG.net forums, but allow me to reiterate it yet again:  Exalted would be downright perfect if it weren't for the poorly designed and poorly thought-out map ( Read more... )

The soundtrack I'd mentioned I wanted to make for my HARP character, Caladan, is finished, including the jewel case and CD labels.

Here's a track breakdown along with that they became on the soundtrack:

"Anarchy" - KMFDM -> "Burning Temple"

"The Rite" - Lisa Gerrard -> "The Necromancer"

"Dawn of the Iconoclast" - Dead Can Dance -> "Losing ( Read more... )

So a few days ago, I posted a short blurb about my character's actions during a recent session.  My GM, being the enlightened motherfucker that he is, gave me some extra XP for the effort.  Stupid him - I'd already done it without the promise of reward and would have done it regardless ( Read more... )

This is a brief description of the action at the end of our last HARP session.  I deeply apologize for the blatantly plagarized names.

I got about an hour into NWN2 yesterday and I was not blown away.  It's similar enough to the first one that I'm sure it'll do well with hardcore fans, but my initial impression is that this sequel lacks imagination and inspiration.  It hasn't done a whole lot to reinvent itself and, as a result, it feels a bit stale at first glance.  The graphic ( Read more... )

Naruto Movie #2 was brilliant.  The difference in production quality from the weekly show is staggering.  They manage to jazz things up with some subtle CG and some excellent colouring and added detail ( Read more... )

Our Nine Inch Nails tickets arrived in the mail yesterday.  Awesome.

Last night's HARP session was fun, but I realized fairly quickly that my character wasn't what I'd been hoping for.  Thank goodness for the re-tool.  This time I focused a lot more on the Assassin and a lot less on the spell-caster.  After a few levels, I may have him pick up a ( Read more... )

EA seems to take some sick pleasure from taunting their audience.  I never knew how badly I wanted to play a European Union grunt until they announced and then subsequently delayed the booster.

Today is a snow day for me.  This is one of many benefits for working for an academic establishment.  They closed the place based on 12 hour old reports ( Read more... )

I've decided to take the day off and I'm camped out on the couch watching a rip of "The Fog".  It's got Shannon from Lost in it.  It might be a little more entertaining if my sinuses didn't feel like exploding ( Read more... )

I love getting shipments at work.  Even though it's work equipment, I feel like it's Christmas all over again ( Read more... )
