Only in America would there be a massacre in a movie theater followed by a national discussion not about assault weapons and extended magazines, but about violent movies and whether or not people should be allowed to wear costumes when they watch them.

Leave it to American media to not hear the loud "woosh-ing" sound of what should be the point flying directly over their heads. Pointing fingers can make people feel better, but it won't change anything. Le sigh.

Oh, also, Happy Birthday and all that
rayraythemanape:
Happy Birthday!

Remember those old text adventure games from the 80s, like Zork and Leather Goddesses of Phobos and Planetfall and Lurking Horror? I loved them, and I loved how they engaged my imagination while they encouraged me to solve puzzles.

When I was at Origins, I saw this game called JUNGLE ADVENTURE, which uses a system called Parseley. It's essentially a live version of the old...

Just saw your Kardashian comment on BBCA. You, my friend, are a modern day hero. How does if feel to be holding the line against the tide of an impending Idiocracy? Please, never stop making art (or artful comments).

This is the trailer for my new YouTube show, TableTop:



I wrote all about it in my blog:


The idea is to make a show that's like Celebrity Poker and Dinner for Five, with nerdy hobby tabletop games.

In season one of the show, we play games like Settlers of Catan, The Last Night on Earth, Munchkin, Small World, and Alhambra. Some of the...

I'd completely forgotten you still had a profile here! I saw the trailer on your blog and felt compelled to see if you're still on here. Plus, you've inspired me. A good friend is in hospital due to cancer, and I think some gaming might be a way for him to find hospital visits a little more bearable and maybe something to enjoy.
pacmanman:
I just heard about this in your interview. I think the premise of this series is great! I'm excited to see it. I'm hardcore into Warhammer and just like you mentioned, It is a very social event. I have a group of friends who come over every Sunday and we make bacon and paint Warhammer its great! Some film students had made a documentary on Warhammer with my friends and I, if you have 20 mins to spare you should check it out.

I've been thinking:

If government was acting in the public -- and not the corporate -- interest, Occupy wouldn't be necessary.

If journalists were adversaries to the rich and powerful -- instead of their stenographers -- Wikileaks wouldn't be necessary.

It's pretty unbelievable to me that a group of people who covered up pedophile priests for decades has any moral authority at all.

I keep...

While I agree whole heartedly on biased journalism and corrupt religions; I can't say I entirely agree about the governement serving corporate interests.

For the vast majority of people, myself included, it is a corporation that pays our salaries. Through taxation, both of their own profits and the salaries they pay us, government is funded. It therefore makes sense for governemnts to align their own interests with those of the business comunity. The problem is that companies are now so corruted by the current system that they're not serving their own interests let alone those of the people. Governement has just been dragged down along with them.

Everything about our modern financial system is tailored towards short term profit and quick retun on investment. There is no plan for long term growth or sustainability. I've seen this at my own company and at others. Everything is done to serve the interest of the investors/shareholders. Whose intrests are frankly limited only to how much money they can make and how fast they can make it.

It's not the the investors are (always) an evil bunch. Most (major) investors don't even manage their own portfolios. They just don't care. They have no reason to.

People are acountable to the government they live under and to the coroprations that pay their salaries. Government, while theoreticaly accountable to the people, are entirely dependant on corproations. Corporations are, to a limited extent, accountable to government but more so they are accountable to their investors.

Investors are accountable to no one.

Occupy is necessary to bring to light the fact that the system we've been relying on for the past 100 odd years, is broken. It is a system based on zero accountability and like an aggressive cancer its corrupting influence has now spread to every part of its host.

Unfortunately with zero resposibility comes zero power. Though there are certainly a few small groups of individuals who are dispraportionately wealthy and who use their influence to prevent change in the system, the system its self is not controlled by anyone. This evil has become self-sustaining, and unless someone is granted the power to do something about it, it will continue to spread until it eventually kills it's host.
