10:50 pm	I have two dreadnaughts. A land raider, a baneblade, a battle wagon, half a vindicator, what might be a skyray, bits of a drop-pod, some buildings, and frankly fuck-knows what else. I cannot justify spending anything on GW kits until at least half of the above is built into something. Oh, and I have more money, but that kinda goes without saying I think. ;) Current Mood: creative Current Music: H. - Tool (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:01 pm	The guy who writes Dr Mcninja has a dog named Commissioner Gordon. It's far too cute, and may well win a million dollars just for being cute. http://cutestdogcompetition.com/blog/ Also in the fringe sport world, Anvil shooting. Not shooting at anvils, but firing anvils into the sky. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:19 pm	Really wish my stomach would settle down. Not as bad as thursday, where I could barely get out of bed, but still not right, nor pleased about it. Basically spent the weekend stuck in the house feeling sorry for myself with a cat that, like most cats, couldn't give too shits about me unless I've fed her. :p Of course, the cat has been eating better than me, so she's happily asleep now. I've found it surprisingly hard to sleep with heartburn. Anyhow, to end with a positive, my last exam is tomorrow, 2:30-5:30. Nearly done! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:48 pm	Thinking ahead... I'm giving thought to running a more serious 4E game than my current two-fights-a-night-and-vague-excuse-for-the-next game. As in, one with roleplaying, plot and stuff. See, I want to run an alternate-universe Kingdom Hearts. May not have a Sora/Riku/Kairi/Donald/Goofy/Mickey setup, but will definitely involve a lot of re-skinning of powers, classes and races to make them more Disney and Keyblade friendly. Thoughts? Interested? Just have a suggestion, or want to tell me I'm an idjit? Current Mood: creative Current Music: "Totems of the Grizzlemaw" - Wrath of the lich King OST (12 Comments |Comment on this)

8:01 pm	An odd PS1 advert that never aired. Worth watching less as an advert for a console, and an advert for all forms of violent escapist media (and by that I mean 'RPGs'). You can thank Warren Ellis for the link. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:58 pm	As you probably know, I'm a card-carrying member of the Cult of Awesome. By 'cult of awesome', I mean the trend in modern media towards doing things that are really fucking awesome for the sake of doing them, and showing no shame enjoying them. You can see this is the pleasure people openly take in bad TV, in films like Kung fu hustle and Bad Boys 2, in games like Exalted, God of War and Devil May Cry, in the fight against Scientology, and in the work of the Onion and Improv Anywhere, in the Large Hadron Collider and Spaceship X. It's not for everyone, and isn't really a single movement, more a growing cultural acceptance of things that are so bad, or so daft, or so OTT, that they become good. I blame the internet: it makes in nearly impossible to be the only person you know who likes something. Gurren Lagaan is probably the defining work of this trend. (7 Comments |Comment on this)

11:58 pm	A confession, and some emo bullshit. I have a terrible weakness for sad, doomed songs. The love theme from the Underworld movies... it hurts me to listen to it. It's got a quiet calm power and a rising sense of dread, but it tells you only that someone is going to die soon, and they will be missed dearly. http://www.youtube.com/user/berkut83 I don't know why I enjoy listening to this stuff, to be honest, but I do.

2:23 pm	Ah, warhammer. This is something I said a little over 4 years ago, about the warhammer roleplaying game. But no matter what, I'll always have the massive dissonance. I mean, Warhammer: vast armies, terrible magics, deamons, assassins, orcish hordes, dragons, mighty heros standing up to the darkness resplendant in magic toys (and often dying for it) and someone, somewhere saw all this and said: "I want to play that guy there." "What, the generic infantry man?" "Actualy no. I want to play his brother, the drunken student back in Nuln. And so will everyone else!" This is pretty much a case study in how not to approach history: assuming current comparisons are valid. See, when WHFRP started, it wasn't so drastically out of line with the wargame, because the wargame was a lot less extravagant back in the day. As time went on the Wargame drifted from the RPG, rather than the other way around, leading up to the dissonance I mentioned all those years ago. I'm given to understand, from the interwangst, that the new edition of the RPG looks capable of fitting both settings. That's a damn good thing!

7:02 pm	Tales From The Black Avatar Today's professional quandry: leave a report of someone else to deal with, or get spoiled on District 9? On the one hand, we have a lapse in service standards that has to be made up by a colleague (the sort of thing I really, really dislike doing). On the other, we have spoilers for a film I'm desperately trying not to get spoiled on. Truly, I have stupid problems.

2:10 pm	Found it! For the D&D folks who were wondering about a way to turn overheal into temp HP, it's a channel divinity feat in the Eberron PG: Kol Korran's Boon. While it's neat, it is once/encounter, and at least in the case of bakatron's Kalashtar Cleric would replace his AoE heal. Oh, found another. There's a belt, the Cincture of Vivacity, in Adventurer's Vault that lets you keep overheal HP as temps for the encounter. Nifty. (Comment on this)
