Earlier this week, I volunteered to run the Dresden Files RPG at Origins. This morning, I got email inviting me to a group that has gotten me a copy of the playtester’s Alpha. Beyond normal work, and working on tomorrow’s self indulgent character journal, I’ve been reading it. Skimming it mostly, as there’s a lot [...]

I posted a blog piece called “Transgression and Kink” at my NSFW blog. I’m linking it here, to tie it in with the transgression and liminality posts I’ve made here. It’s not here because 1) it’s more personal, and 2) it’s about sexual practices. It’s not explicit in anyway, but it felt like it belonged [...]

I’ve had Overlord 2 for a while, but hadn’t played it (as it lived at Girl’s house for some time). I recently borrowed it, and began playing it. This isn’t strictly a First Impressions post, but I’m about that far into the game. Girl and I played the first game fairly differently. One of her [...]

It’s feeling like the natural thing for a Monday is weekend updatery and planning. So, that’s what you’re getting. I even made a tag for it! And I just noticed tags aren’t being displayed on the site. Well, then. This week I guess I’ll be adding tags to the site, and fixing the ugly informational [...]

My self-indulgent character diary will have to wait until next week. I’m in a heavy coding phase, and learning all kinds of fun stuff. If you have an HTML5 capable browser, check out my slightly sluggish character colorizer test. (Image by Corvus). Also: it is snowing like a thing that snows way too much. Going [...]

So, I said the other day that I was going to work more with HTML5 since the triumvirate of Python/Pygame/PGU were starting to bother me. I don’t want to denigrate either python or pygame as both are well developed, maintained and documented projects. I don’t quite get PGU, and I think it mainly suffers from [...]

Borderlands plot — at least as far as I’ve gotten into it — is largely non-existent. I’ve gotten several quests to kill some dudes, and a ghost lady that suggest I should do these quests to kill some dudes. I’m pretty good at killing dudes, and that seems fun. Darksiders plot is much more [...]

Most of the old posts of this type went with the great hard drive failure of ’09, but I like to talk about games before I’ve fully experienced them. I’ll gladly analyze them to death the whole time, but I tend to drift away from games, or finish them. Neither is a good way to [...]

(This article is going to be geeky and technical and ranty. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.) As I’ve mentioned I’m prepping for the Glorious Trainwrecks’ THE 371-IN-1 KLIK & PLAY PIRATE KART II: KLIK HARDER event. I’m on win7 and Klik & Play doesn’t really run all that easily, so I’ve been poking about [...]

Nothing major to report gaming-wise today. I went to the local GBox to pick up a game: predictably, Mass Effect 2 was sold out, as were Bayonetta and Darksiders on the 360. Those were the two main games I went to get, since they fall into a sort of odd category for me. That category [...]
