Team Murder Death Kill!

It doesn't sound very heroic, but Wraithspire and Razorsharpe kick so much ass that we needed a violent, dangerous sounding name. In that particular image, we were about to destroy some Devouring Earth, I think.

La Bete du Gevaudan
La Bete is officially classified as a "Dire Wolf" by naturalists, so yes D&D fans, it is a real, but now believed extinct species. However, due to La Bete's existence, many Europeans classify La Bete as a Loup-Garou, or an honest to God werewolf, or lycanthrope. This belief persists to this day, even into official government listings involving the creature. So depending on where you live, Lycanthropes are an actual accredited species.

The Grand List Of Console Role Playing Game Clichés
  • The Best-Laid Schemes
    The final villain's grand scheme will have involved the deaths of thousands or even millions of innocent people, the clever manipulation of governments, armies, and entire populations, and will have taken anywhere from five to five thousand years to come to fruition. The hero will come up with a method of undoing this plan forever in less than five minutes.
  • Weapon Rule
    There's always a hidden creature who is much harder to defeat than even the ultimate bad guy's final, world-annihilating form. It's lucky for all concerned that this hidden creature prefers to stay hidden rather than trying to take over the world himself, because he'd probably win. As a corollary, whatever reward you get for killing the hidden creature is basically worthless because by the time you're powerful enough to defeat him, you don't need it any more.

    WHAT THE HELL?
    Private property no longer exists. You may pay for it, you may have your name on the deed, but it's not yours.

    See how I just balanced my left wing, anti-Bush administration link with a paranoid milita type comment? I'm a centrist. However, that ruling still sucks.

    What's worse, that this a pickup line, or that it is so effective there are warnings about it?

    This editorial isn't really that funny, but it tells the truth.
    "You’ll never play Planescape: Torment for the first time again. This is not the fault of the industry. This is the fault of time, of aging, of growing up."
    Actually, I will play it for the first time, since it is in the backlog of games collecting dust in my room. It's only six years old, i'll get to it just after Baldur's Gate (seven years old).

    Casey sent me this link, which is probably the most disturbing thing i've read in a long time. It is bad that it is necessary, and gross in the way it works.

    Did the Nazis have an atomic bomb?

    Of course no one remembers that Dr. Miguelito Loveless invented the atomic bomb in the 1800s, but I can't find any images of that device. However, I did finally find out the name of the only other recurring bad guy in "The Wild Wild West": Count Carlos Mario Vincenzo Robespierre Manzeppi.

    Casey sent me this opinion column yesterday, and I got into a discussion with Dennis about impeachment. My position? If the evidence is flimsy, the charges will hurt everyone by looking petty and politically motivated. However, if the evidence is solid enough to prove intelligence was altered, then Bush and Cheney and anyone else involved need to be prosecuted to the limits of the law.
