There have been a number of failed assassination attempts using swallowed explosives. Last one I remember was a few years back, somebody went after a Saudi prince or somesuch.

Welp, I'm sad now. Thanks.

I don't really see the plot coupon thing. Seivarden turned out to be valuable, certainly, but they largely established that value quite early on- Seivarden came from a notable family, was once rich, etc, and that's what One Esk cashed in on.

If one wants to be truly pedantic, then one must say, "There remains no solid evidence for UFOs/ESP, and what evidence we do have makes it seem incredibly unlikely," but that's not pithy and is likely to confuse people. If there's no evidence a thing exists, then for all intents and purposes, it may as well not exist.…

This is generally good advice. More to the point, in the same way audiences can smell fear, they can also smell passion and excitement. If you truly believe in what you're about to talk about, and you're truly excited about the subject matter, then you're going to deliver a wonderful speech.

I have no pictures of my current projects, but right now, my "hot" project is an RPG system inspired by The Warriors which focuses on turf management and heavily narrative and gritty combat. The highly temporary title is Street Fight, but I'm thinking about calling it Lords of the Block.

"British" makes you think English. It doesn't make me think English. And even if we were going by political divisions here, I hate to break it to you: Scotland is a subject nation of the UK. That makes them as British as Puerto Ricans are American.

They are British. They are not English. Britain is the island upon which they live. People from that island are British.

Today is no different than any other day. I'm optimistically cynical. I find great hope in knowing that there are constants in the universe- the fact that Adam Sandler ceased to be funny when the 90s ended brings me great peace and solace. The fact that people still endlessly await the day he becomes funny again- a…

Your naive optimism is refreshing. Stupid and completely divorced from reality, but refreshing.

It's not a comedy at all! It's a documentary.

A year? I can't plan a year in advance. Can I give you my next six months instead?

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who remembers that show. Sometimes, I wish that I were, because it's kind of embarrassing. Oh Peter David and Bill Mumy.

Please, jocks don't play Fantasy Football. Chubby schlubs with no social life outside of their game friends play Fantasy Football. So, it's exactly the same people who play D&D.

Of course, in my head, that's everything. That's their lives, ping-ponging through the same day, over and over again. Nietzsche's eternal return, and they are not übermenschen.

The best part is peeing in that kind of cold. Well, "best". It's certainly dramatic.

I once went camping when it was -40 with the wind chill. I did get a little hypothermia, but that's because I got a bunch of snow down my clothes. Without that, I would have been fine.

Man, when I heard "Rock Troll", I had a totally different, and way more metal image in mind.
