I could spend forever talking about things (And I still reserve the right to do that later), but I’m in a hurry now:

Torchwood: Children of Earth-Pretty good, better than Torchwood was last time I watched it. Preview for next episode spoiled who lives, however, killing a bunch of tension.

Aliens-Best scifi action movie ever. Maybe the best action movie period. It’s just a really good movie.

Dr Who: The Key to time-Does not feel like the episodes are linked at all. The Pirate Planet, Power Krol, and The Armegeddon factor are the best. Stones of blood has rock that chase after you and suck your blood, however.

Boy, I hope I think of something to write that’s not a review soon.

GURPS Feels Like Home July 19, 2009

You know, I’m not really sure where I am with RPGs. I like them, but not in the way I used to. Just a few months ago, I would have bought anything I thought sounded cool. I own over 200 RPG manuals, so it came a surprise when I stopped feeling good about buying them about a month ago. I felt like there was no RPG I could justify buying anymore because I had so many, there wasn’t anything I didn’t already have.

Which, interestingly, ties into rediscovering GURPS, which is what this post is going to talk about.

I’m going to add some of my old posts back to this blog on a case by case basis. Some of them are better than I remembered. So you’ll be seeing my old post on the Ch’zo Mythos series of adventures by Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw, the guy who spiraled to success with Zero Punctuation.

Fun somewhat related fact: I was a fan of his literaly a month before everyone else knew about him, I shit you not.

First Post! July 18, 2009

Greetings people who have stumbled their way into the incredibly deep (albeit interesting) hole that is my blog. I’ve posted here before, actually I’ve posted here 110 times before now, but it all sucked ass. Also, none of it would have said ‘ass’ as I did not curse before entering college.

But I  digress.

I’m, well, reebooting the blog. All the old posts are hidden because I am far too embarrassed by them (One of my last posts was whining about Halo 3 for god’s sake).

So, I launch again, this time not as a pseudo conspiracy blog but A NERD BLOG. It was that already, but I had strange pretensions about it being something else.

My real focus, you see, will be on giving sort of a alternative nerd blog. Pretty much because there are no real moderate nerd blogs out there I can find. All the positive reactions are raves, and all the negative reactions are rants.

So, I’ll talk about RPGs, Videogames, Movies, TV, and comics.

ESPECIALLY comics! They are my favorite storytelling medium, you see.

Hell, I might post some of my own!

Tomorrow, I hope to post my first real article. I do not know what it will be yet, but it will be something that hopefully will be unique. Hopefully, I’ll also get rid of that ghastly logo as well.

See you earlier!
