My TeeFury Haul
I just love TeeFury. This site offers a new shirt design for that day, and only that day…and then it’s gone forever…almost. Almost is because very now and then, they offer a grab bag day to clear out their inventory of remaining shirts. The shirts are only $6, you choose your size, and you can …

Megatron versus the Windsor police?
Despite this being an event in Canada it is indicative about our own country’s legal policies regarding toys realistically resembling firearms. WINDSOR, Ont. — A 25-year-old Windsor man who allegedly pointed a handgun at his neighbours was arrested on Wednesday after police officers surrounded his west end residence. The three-hour standoff forced the lockdown of …

Biggest educational time-waster ever
TV Tropes. You get linked there to learn about a literary trope in television, movies, comic books, etc. For instance, I’m writing about a female barbarian character, and in researching costuming I ended up reading about Chain Mail Bikinis.

Champions Online review, part 2
Character creation is basically the same with both Champions Online and City of X, with some exceptions. Most notably, are the number of Characters you can create per server. In COH, I believe you can create 10 heroes or villains on each server (please correct me if I’m wrong) In Champions, for now you are …

Champions Online review, part 1

6 Islands of Horror — No, Real Islands!
I hate Cracked.com. Mostly because it’s an addictive site that can eat up productivity like no one’s business. Just one list after another. They have some very witty writers, although their unedited nature with swear words in every article, sub-heading and very often even page titles makes it a bit hard for me to take. …
