So, 4E Dark Sun is here. First, I must say, I like it. I like it a lot. I had a chance to play with pregens this past weekend, and my group had a blast and is probably switching over to Dark Sun in the near future. The 4E Campaign Book is one of my [...]
As the others allude to in the About section, in my Real Life I do a great deal with copyright. The Anime Industry runs on copyright infringement. Just about everything the fan community does with anime is infringing somehow. This type of statement could be made about fandom in general, but it’s particularly true with [...]

In an effort to write more, I’ll probably be posting some anime reviews over the next few weeks. In this post, I’m going to briefly discuss my history with anime; in the next I’m going to discuss some Things You Should Know before I get to proper reviewing- particularly involving the nebulous relationship between anime [...]

Yeah, I used “made of win.” Sue me! I’ve always been something of a Kirsten Dunst fan (I should say “we,” since her image long graced the window of Q’s workspace), and this is just fanboy/girl heaven. ^_- So, Kirsten Dunst + Princess Cosplay + Akihabara + 80s cover! http://boingboing.net/2009/10/19/murakamis-short-film.html (picture) http://www.boingboing.net/2010/02/24/murakami-akihabara-m.html (video) (some anime [...]

Q and I went to see the February 5th show of Jonathan Coulton and Paul & Storm on February 5th at Antone’s in Austin. The marquis read “Jonathan Coultron with Paul” at first, but was soon corrected to “Jonathan Coultron with Paul and Strm,”(1) which itself raised a few jokes about the Coultron 2000 during [...]
Well, it’s official: http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75862/22320345/Wizards_of_the_Coast_announcement?pg=1 There have been several questions lately regarding the future of the Star Wars Miniatures and Roleplaying Game and until now I haven’t had definitive answers to give you.

I’ve been a bit too busy to hang out much on the video game front, but I’ve recently picked up a couple of games with a common theme: super heroes. First, I’ve played the new MMO Champions Online more than any other game recently. I’ve had a great deal of fun with the game so [...]
So, due to real-life issues (our DM getting a new job, grats) I’m now running the every-other-Sunday 4E D&D game. And I decided to make it a Dark Sun game. I’ve always liked the Dark Sun world; and better yet, the day after I decided to make it that type of campaign, Wizards of the [...]
Apparently I’m not keeping up with my anime and manga news as much as I should be, because Shonen Jump arrived in the mail today with a letter stating that Shojo Beat has been canceled by Viz Media! For those non-manga fans, in Japan people tend to purchase magazine collections of serialized comics that are [...]
