Behold, content!
Also, I quit wow, finally. I might mention this several times. The upshot for you? Less overall whining about Wow in future posts.

Inexcusable delays. I keep saying I'm going to keep this damn thing alive with more regular updates, and then I go off all askew
humming loudly to myself and pretending I'm a jawa by lying on the floor with a blanket over my head.
Anyway. That said, here's more older material that was only recently finished. I had bought a passel (?) of games a while back and wrote some
meandering thing about them.

In what appears to be a rapidly emerging theme, I'm bringing you some repurposed material. However, rather than simply wasting your time with a nearly irrelevant
ancient piece, I took what was the irrelevant ancient seed of a piece, and allowed it to grow into a sick little fycus. When Legacy of Khain: Defiance
was released, I thought it was one of the best games I'd played in a while. But, unfortunately, declaring how wonderful it was, didn't make
for much material. Since I'm still in the throes of MMOs, and how much I hate them, indeed, how fundamentally wrong they are,
I took the opportunity to forge a tenuous link. Beware the abrupt transition between the
old piece and the new piece!

Because my mind is a dearth of creativity given form in the vessel of a nearly nonfunctional brain, I bring you archived, unlinked
material regarding whitey.

I continue endlessly flapping my lips about MMOs. Tabula Rasa, particularly.

If you fall into just one grotesque nightmare of your own creation this year... make it this one.

Raiding is a primitive form of gameplay that should make way for better things.

Roleplayers are usual people. People who are desperately afraid.
also... I... am playing city of heroes again. On a different account.

I quit City of Heroes. My favorite MMo. I did it for number of reasons.
But I'm not happy about it. You may recognize some recycled materials.
Then I finished off an old humor piece about it.

We're in a brave new world. I've got several things
cooking, and I'll post them as I finish them satisfactorily. This is,
as usual, a matter of sheer indulgence on your part, and sheer whimsy
on mine. The first product of this.deranged(mind) is a little something
about that wonderful holiday we celebrate in the US known as
Thanksgiving. Tremble in fear.

Well shit. It's been forever since I updated. Since the
last time, I've applied to and been accepted to the Guildhall at SMU.
If you want to watch me embarrass myself publicly on a message board,
just follow the forums link buried somewhere in the menu on the left
hand side of the site.
In any case, I promise... no more huge gaps if I can avoid it. This
site will never die, so long as I have webspace! But I recognize that I
haven't done anything in quite a while, and since all my readership has
been thoroughly alienated, there was no one to complain. So I did it myself.
oh hey, and by the way, change your bookmarks. The
students.washington.edu address is going to go away fairly soon.

Yay, more content. Though I've probably alienated my
readership by now, I'm still putting up stupid crap! This time, I
review Devil May Cry 2,
contrary to supposed promises of bitching about mario sunshine or some
other nonsense.

New rule: anyone who uses the term 'patience my young
padawan' when writing an FAQ must be killed for the good of mankind.
God help us if the term 'padawan' becomes a part of our culture.

Master of Orion 3 finally went gold. Go and reserve yourself a copy.
Also, There hasn't been any updates around here for a while. I'm going
to vent on the Dark Age of Camelot expansion: Shrouded Isles a bit.
Possibly this weekend.
