This may sound really off the wall, but listen to me. You've got to believe me. I've not gone crazy, and I'm not fooling around. At first I thought I was losing my mind. But now I know I'm not. It's not me. This whole town. It's being invaded by the other world. Worlds of someone's nightmarish delusions come to life. Little by little the invasion is spreading. Trying to swallow up everything in darkness.

but that is what a book is for right?

The Good, the Bad, and the Really Really Bad



By Joshua Peter Tubbs

I. About this book
In order to accomplish 50,000 words, I’m going to have to do a lot of stuff, write about a lot of stuff and a lot of people. So I thought that I should just write about the more than 350 people in the Senior class at Timberlane! That seems like a good way to get a LOT of words with little work done. So this book is basically a description of each and every person through my eyes. Now, my opinion is not like everyone else’s so this is not exactly true and it is going to be quite interesting. It is also more based on the people instead of a fact for fact kind of nonfiction kind of deal. Also, a good portion is made up exaggerations that make this novel more interesting to think of. Of course, there excerpts of my life and works and some of the people had to be changed in order to protect my safety. There will be times when you think that I’m a really nice person, and other times when you think that I’m going to be a jerk, but that is what a book is for right?

I never thought I'd see the day when a videogame allowed me to get into a fistfight with a pope (Alexander VI, in this case) inside a secret chamber under the Sistine Chapel.

So here's to you, Assassin's Creed 2, for encouraging me to punch a pontiff (and a Borgia) in the dick.

Crappy adaptations make me a sad panda

ERB's Princess of Mars, from the producers of Megashark vs. Giant Octopus and starring Antonio Sabato, Jr. and Traci Lords.

This frustrates me. Even moreso than Conan, I loved reading the Barsoom stories as a wee tyke, and I'd love to see a good cinematic adaptation of John Carter's world.

Played through the Hard Rain campaign last night in single-player. Good lord, the sugar mill.

The floor is made of Witches

Here's the setup, for those unfamiliar with the game: the fishing boat Lagniappe, en-route to NOLA with the survivors on board, stops in Ducatel, Mississippi to scavenge fuel. Unfortunately, all of the riverside filling stations are dry, forcing the players deeper inland as a hurricane builds. All through the campaign, the storm grows in intensity, until finally the Survivors find themselves fighting their way back to the boat through driving rain, gale-force winds, and zero visibility. The rain itself is loud enough to drown out the game's built-in voice chat, and the thunder peals startle the horde of zombies standing between the cast and rescue.

The midpoint for the storyline - both on the journey out and the return to the boat - is the aforementioned sugar mill. Both safehouse graffiti and signs on the mill itself set up the fact that it's full of Witch-type special infected, and they don't lie. On Expert difficulty, that one section of the campaign alone can contain 15-20 Witches.
