Vic & Vis on a Road Trip?
The busy. It burns.
But here's something I hope you like:
From what I understand, Lord Orcus might allow Josh extra restroom breaks for this one.
In other newsiness...
William F. Buckley died. Thoughts?
Personally I think he did have an occasional interesting insight, but he did always come of as a bit of a twat. Kinda like the less-retarded but twice as annoying Tucker Carlson. Or something. I didn't hate him, but I'm not going to shed any tears. Of course, this is the guy who said:
"The central question that emerges…is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas where it does not predominate numerically? The sobering answer is Yes-the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race."
I suppose one could argue that it was a pretty normal thing to say, especially considering context etc, for 1957. But yeah. That quote was stolen from this Making Light entry. Big WFB fans there, as you can no doubt tell. Can't say I blame them.
Here's a build-it-yerself board game called BLACK DEATH that looks like great fun. Sharon and I will get it, print it, assemble it, and may tell you about it-- provided we manage to do all of that in the foreseeable future.
Speaking of great fun, here's a video game which I've been wanting the time to play more of. It's Depths of Peril, and it has been described as a next step in the realm of Diablo II wannabes. Now, I've played it a little and I have to say it is quite a beefy game for only being like 150 MB. Yeah, it's pretty low-tech in many ways, but it has tonnes of cool strategy options. The covenants (factions) make for an excellent play aspect. Check it oot, y'all.
And is Ghost Rider actually a title I'll dig now (or again, since I loved it when I was wee)? I have heard that #20 makes for a Vertigo-like approach (it's like the Scalped writer or something). Hmmm... I guess I'll find out! I also need to call my FLC/GS and see that the new Dresden Files comic is put on my pull list. And I need to read Locke & Key #1. I had no idea that Joe Hill is Stephen King's kid! I should note, however, that I didn't know who Joe Hill is either.
Once again, this entry took forever (around an hour) to assemble. Back to the Busy.
