You may have been wondering on the lack of Runo Knows... lately.

I'm here to clarify that.

Uh...

Anyways, the last month or so has been characterized by me re-reading a number of books I've already done.  The Dexter books, for instance, as well as a couple of Warhammer 40K omnibuses.

Then I've had my new material.  The Lovecraft books typically get ( Read more... )

For one specific friend on here...

Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada, who witnessed the assault, said, "Jon picked Andy up by the head and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose." Lovitz told Page Six, "All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is a [bleep]hole."

Hahahaha.  New respect for ( Read more... )

Back from E3.

The throat didn't get better the next morning -- so I said fuckit, went out and had some drinks that night (avoiding overly carbonated beverages, since those seemed to really hurt it) and the next day it was almost gone!

It's pretty much gone now, and I'm fairly certain it was strep.  D'oh.  At least, from what I've read - I didn't ( Read more... )

Last count I'm going to be seeing at least 40 games at E3.

Mostly shooters and strategy, plus some sports (EA).

The companies I'm seeing are:

• Konami
• Bethesda
• Activision
• Codemasters
• Akella

But hey, you get it again.  Just want to get it off my chest.

Flash back to Friday.  Leave work an hour early to go to the Nats game.  Get home, drink a couple of beers, get introduced to Flight of the Conchords.  (Goddamn funny it is.  Watched the first episode 3 times this weekend.  Even downloaded it to my iPod.  Hopefully they'll get the second ( Read more... )

When some of my neighbors found out that games of Settlers of Catan had gone on at Hrafn-fest, they were jealous that they had not been invited to play.  Honestly, I'd had absolutely no idea that they'd be interested.  It seems to be the only board game they're really interested in right now, but they might be interested in others.

So tonight I went ( Read more... )

There's an EVE Online ad running over on GamersInfo.net.  The tag line is:

"It's like the American economy, but here you have rockets."

I don't know where they're at (wait, yes I do, it's ICELAND), but over here, in these here American states, we got ourselves some motherfuckin' rockets.

(Of course, we're busy using them elsewhere, but the production ( Read more... )

The long nap in the afternoon when my eyes were fubar-ed caused that...had nothing to do with me staying up this late playing LotRO, nosireebob.

I wasn't going to play Lord of the Rings Online...but some friends were having fun, I was bored, and I got a free copy for GamersInfo.net.  Sigh.

(Mental note: must blog there, too)

I haven't been able to ( Read more... )

My editor had an interesting article about the Stargate Worlds MMORPG coming out.

I'm not a SG fan; however, I am a sci-fi fan.  They have some "interesting" concepts in there - I put quotation marks around that word in an attempt to be, you know, ironic.

Mixing race and class to basically create fantasy archetypes?  Sure...let's not do anything ( Read more... )

Part two of my details on Hrafn-fest, with some of how Marriott did their best to screw me.

Enjoy!
