This is relevant to my interests: Hunger Games parody



I love board games and I love 2/3 of the Hunger Games Trilogy, so this was pretty great. They really should look into using a game from the last 20 years, though.

Ewan Dobson: crazy guitar skills + epic backgrounds = awesomesauce



via Wes Molebach//Friday Faves

Dominic Crapuchettes (creator of Say Anything! and Wits and Wagers) speaks about 'Reinventing Board Games'



Good insights, although I think people that like board games right now will always prefer 'real' board games.  I do think that as the digital market expands more people will find themselves discovering and loving a lot of games they would have never bought or even heard of before.  I love (ie LOVE) board games, so let me know if you want to try out some award winners - or if you have some I don't have so I can try out yours!

"Angry Birds is so lame, Bro."


Haha, they are so dumb.  Wait, I bought the Elite package last year.  So...am I making fun of myself? AM I A BRO?!?!  *checks collar, sees it is not popped*  Whew, that was close.

Side note, this will be my first year not buying a Call of Duty release.  i never realyl want to, but I tell myself that it is the only game I will be able to play with all my friends.  However...I never play with any of friends.  This year all my game time will be allotted to Guild Wars 2 (get it now, it is awesome) and Borderlands 2

The Old-Awesome: EverQuest Trailer, 1998

Remember when these graphics were pretty fantastic?  Not the best ever, but great for a MMO? I honestly hope I never find out how many hours I put into this game.

If you have never run frantically screaming towards a zone wall with a train of 30+ gnolls chasing, you have never really (virtually) lived. FOR HALAS!

BATMAN: False Start

Neil deGrasse Tyson - We Stopped Dreaming



If you know me, you know I am very pro-smallest government possible.  I believe in the private sector over government run business and industry, research, programs, and so on.  That being said, I think space exploration is in a different category.  Restrictions on the private sector should be very limited and be companies/individuals should allowed and encouraged to build for and explore spave, but I do think it is in the interest of all Americans for NASA itself to be a full funded government agency.  There are a ton of Departments and agencies that should be cut looooong before we make it to NASA.

My goodreads Profile



A few years ago I discovered goodreads and created an account.  Recently, I remembered it and started logging my books again.  I am still in the process of getting things loaded in and rated, but I do hope to be much better at tracking my reads.  If you haven't checked out the site I highly recommend it.  Feel free to friend me.

Rurouni Kenshin gets the Live Action treatment

One of my favorite animes ever is being made into a Live Action film.  I am pretty excited for it after watching the trailer.  Here's hoping they don't totally screw it up.


If you are curious, here is the intro to the anime series and a fan made AMV.


Great, now I have to go watch the whole series, OVA, and movies again.  Oh, wait - that IS great!
