Papercraft Friday #6: Murky
Awww…. ain’t he cute! My friend Justin has one of these in-game, which were given out at Blizzcon a few years ago. It’s so cute when he dances. After last week’s complicated Thrall model, I figured that an easier one might work well this week. Another model by from the Unofficial World of Warcraft Papercraft…

Indian Burial Ground
My friend Moge has been saying for years that my house must be built on top of an indian burial ground or something, because I was always having trouble with my computer. Something was always breaking, dying, blue screening and just generally not working for no good reason. This strip on Penny Arcade made me think of…

Jonathan Coulton and Felicia Day Still Alive at PAX 2008
What can I say, I’m a sucker for this song. Portal was an awesome game, and the ending will go down as a videogame classic. For those not familiar with the two on stage, musician Jonathan Coulton is great. You should really check out his music. The singer is Felicia Day, known to a conventional…

Good Old Games
As many of you know, I’m a bit of a retro gamer. From my humble beginnings on the Atari 2600 (thanks Mom and Dad), to typing basic code out of magazines into our TI-99/4A, to my beloved Commodore 64, to… well, you get the idea. I’ve been gaming for awhile, and I still love all those…

O….k….

Maybe it’s just supposed to make Microsoft seem more friendly. It presumes you know who Bill Gates is and barely mentions…

Papercraft Friday #5: You are not prepared!
… for World of Warcraft papercraft! At least, I wasn’t. There’s come cool models to be made at the Unofficial World of Warcraft Papercraft website. Since the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King expansion is coming up, I thought it would be fitting to highlight a month of Warcraft papercraft. First up is mighty…

Messages from Stephen
I’ve been listening to the unabridged audiobook versions of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. I just finished Book 6. One more to go. Sooo good. I thought I’d poke around King’s website today, for the first time in a year or more, and came across King interviewing himself in his often ignored Messages from…

Commodore Laptop
I soooo want one. I know, it’s just a Windows-based machine with Commodore branding, but… but… *sigh* I’m hopeless.
