But you kind of did prove my point. You mentioned nothing of quality....just that the only way you can succeed in traditional publishing is either being a celebrity or the mythical “secret handshake.” It’s a good thing authors like Rothfuss, Maas, Sprunk, Jemisin, Lynch, Cole, Lawrence, Staveley, Aveyard, Tahir and…

Last Sunday’s Oglaf strip is so fucking apropos right now. Holy shit.

I was playing some warhammer with friends. We were drinking, of course, and then things got a little heated - yelling, cursing, making indelicate remarks about mothers, good stuff like that, when all of a sudden the boiler exploded. I lost my arms and most of my army, and so was defeated in the next turn. Worst game…

When I was 12, I had been playing D&D for a few months. I really got into world-building and wanted to be a DM. I started creating my own world, complete with multiple maps, cultures, cities (each with their own map layouts with locations of dungeons) and multiple maps of dungeons. I had created my own races, each…

Eh...not really? I mean, sure, opinions be opinions, and it certainly seems nice at first, minus the goofy writing, but the more you play it, the more shallow and repetitive it ends up feeling. And I also say this as someone who has put a lot of time into it, like, a lot: I wouldn’t have played it nearly as long if I…

Even those early episodes were pretty darned funny.

I regret how small a portion of time and space I get to witness in my little existence.

If you want to find out about a people, study their garbage, not their monuments.

Now to make Settlers of Catan cupcakes!

OMG I just figured it out.

The Pentagon has always been known for its secrecy.

Anybody else think of the Herculoids?

Actually I do not feel that this predetermined cartel of growers is a good idea. I’m extremely skeptical of this ballot measure.

“If I’m wrong, then the burden of proof is on the person who’s claiming otherwise to provide contrary information.”

I’m old and terribly square. I’ve never read Reddit even from its early days in 2005 when I first heard about it on Digg (Or was it Metafilter? Or Slash? I forget.). Considering all the awful things I’ve heard about it, I feel no compelling urge to use the service.

Dat modern Zaku feel.

Tell that to Mario.

Most humor is built upon a preconceived idea being setup, and then at some point being changed. Thus, at the delight and surprise of the audience, a joke occurs. In your case you seem to think that all jokes are “bait-and-switches”. You see a comedian as a fraudster, telling stories that serve no real purpose other…

I dunno man I’ve always found ActionTrip to be consistently the worst comic of the week. Those punchlines are just painful.

You can only do up to 30 seconds that way. For nearly every make of DSLR or MILC out there, you can get a wireless remote for about $10 or less.
