This is just too awesome not to share. Awesome and so very true.

I’m always a little slow to get on the bandwagon with things. As nearly the last person in the USA to finally have a Facebook account, it shouldn’t be surprising that I hadn’t really heard of tumblr before.
Turns out it’s really twitter, but more. Twitter never really seemed to make sense to me. Facebook already has a ton of inane one sentence updates, why bother with something as limiting as Twitter.
Tumblr on the other hand allows for all sorts of fabulous media, yet like Twitter, encourages brevity.
So I thought I would try Tumblr. Might be shortlived, but it seems fun so far. =D
Take note that I my Tumblr account is about ten hours old at the time of this posting.
Enough of these have piled up that it seems like a good time to post them. =D
Roll a D6 – RPG parody of that popular song. =P

Swamp Ass PSA Starring Nathan Fillion – Serious condition that effects millions of gamers each year. Beware!

There is nothing quite as rejuvenating as a fabulously large comic book (and more) convention only thirty minutes from my house. WonderCon is so close I don’t have to fly anywhere, stay in expensive hotels, and curb spending because my carrying capacity on the plane is limited. All the fun without any of the drawbacks. Certainly one of the huge perks of city living, one that I would be remiss in not enjoying to the fullest.
The 9.0 Earthquake in Japan is an incredible tragedy and the true fall out from this destruction will be felt for generations to come.
As Japan is one of my favorite places on earth, I have a particular need to help them!
Here are some resources to find out ways to help/donate:
Charity Navigator – only reputable charities
Red Cross – Japan charity
http://www.japansociety.org/earthquake
Here are some links other than the media to help keep track of what is going on:
Green Action – for a nuclear free japan – tracking the nuclear events
Tokyo lives – blog report out of Tokyo (goodish news)
Save the Japanese Dolphins Report on the event
My thoughts are with all the people struggling in Japan.
I find myself in snow ski land with only WoW to play at night, but no one wants to hear about WoW anymore. (My guild made level 6 and we have been going through all the old content getting heroic achievements plus guild achievements, lalalala!)
But thankfully FaceBook has been putting out.

I might think of Facebook as a rather pointless time sink, but it does have some great features, like finding age old friends and keeping track of said friends. But what I enjoy the most is all the random stuff people share. Its a little window into strange and new webstuffs. =)
Sometimes its stuff that’s totally worth sharing.
Totally fun band that does great covers. Awesome!

As the Gamer Girl/Geek Girl phenomenon has taken off, more and more lovely young ladies have taken up the cry of nerdhood to ply their warez. And though I enjoy cheering them on from my very happily anonymous sidelines, one question does arise for me: are these really geek girls or are they just publicity hos?
One of my goals for our move was to sift through all of our stuff, pair down or consolodate what we had. A huge part was sorting through all of our various games, a much needed process.
It turns out that our long standing addiction to MMOGs has resulted in a stack of game CDs to rival the Eiffel Tower. Okay, I exaggerate a bit, but it was quite shocking to find so many completely useless CDs. (EverQuest had by far the most!)
Just throwing them away seems extremely wasteful, but what does one do with these old CDs???
Way back in the day I wrote a review for Geometry Wars.
A little quote from the article:
we couldn’t figure out what to call those thumb stick things on the controller. My favorite was Controller Nipples. Sounds much better then thumb sticks.
Well someone made a shirt!! Controller Nipples Shirt!!
