I've been watching the new cartoon Tron: Uprising and really enjoying it.
I don't know if it's the high-end movie soundtrack that they reuse for the cartoon, the brutal murder/suicides of characters disguised from the censors by the artifice of de-rezzing, or the voice of Frodo and other medium-name movie/TV actors for voices, but it's a pretty good action cartoon.

My players stole something from the temple of Hades-expy in my world, after one of them tried to get it given to them first by the priests, then the god himself, so their wonderful efforts to cover their tracks aside, they're getting an npc accompanying them as Hades-expy is amused and willing to treat it as an investment, so I'm making a Revenant Wiz/Barrister of the Nine.
In gearing him up, I decided to give him a magic sword of sharpness named Occam's Razor.
Then I decided to look into Occam's Razor and it's origin and see if naming it after the Gordian Knot would be better (since the world is heavily greek). Apparently Occam's Razor is actually applied to penal ethics, and attempts to distribute punishment justly. That just... wow. Yeah, "you broke a contract, you lose your hand" is pretty simple.

Also, funnily enough, William of Ockham (a big-time medieval philosopher, and the guy that Occam's razor is named after) didn't actually come up with Occam's razor.

Well, the Revenant Lawyer Wiz/Barrister of the Nine is now also carrying The Law and Red Tape as his protective items. I almost want the party to kill him and loot his body just so they have those items.

There's a medical technology company named Vecna Technologies. I have a bad feeling about that... but also, I wonder how much the vampirification machine would cost.

Vecna Technologies is hilarious. Observe how their stylized 'V' can easily be interpreted as a hand holding an eyeball. Also, when they were seriously hiring, their advertising was faintly sinister; such as a smiling man subtitled 'I've never been so happy to wake up for work in the morning.' Like there was a strong chance he wouldn't wake up or something.Prak_Anima wrote:There's a medical technology company named Vecna Technologies.

Mind you, I'm really concerned that they've been collaborating with another local company called Genzyme, which really sounds like it should be churning out monsters for an 80's movie series.
According to the recruiting guy who came to my college career fair a few years back, the symbol, game references, and ambiguously-creepy advertisements are completely intentional thanks to the marketing department having a bunch of D&D players in it...but then, he might have just been saying that to appeal to all the nerds he was talking to.angelfromanotherpin wrote:Vecna Technologies is hilarious.

I'm digging http://nexttownover.net
Just stumbled upon it, a weird west webcomic. I'm always sad when I stumble upon such ventures when they're only out a year or two, since then they don't have years of work already done to cruise through and I am stuck waiting for next week's comic. But hey, the art is pretty, the pacing is good, and the characters are still interesting. The author appears to take punctuality seriously which is a breath of fresh air as compared to other competitors.
I still don't know who, if anyone, is the good guy, and I think I like that.

Oh, look, DMH has more actual source material I can point to.
Heh, awesome comic, thanks for showing us erik.

I just got back from watching Dark Knight Rises.
I liked it a ton! It wasn't quite as good as Dark Knight, buuut...
I think my main problem was Christian Bale. I mean, the Batman Voice he does is...urgggh. There's one part where he's screaming at Bane and trying to keep the voice in place. There's another couple of times when it would have been more appropriate for him to drop the voice.
Bane was truly awesome to watch, though. And even though you can tell his voice has been redubbed over, it...works, as an effect. His lines come a lot louder than those of anyone else in the movie.
That was a -lot- of movie. Be warned, it's 2 hours and 45 minutes long.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Is Bane easier to understand in the movie than he is in the trailers? That's been the big thing for me. When WB originally screened the movie in previews, people complained that they couldn't understand Bane at all, because of the mask, so they went in and redubbed, but every trailer I've seen, it's been nigh-impossible to understand his lines.
I've also heard that Venom was removed completely, which is unfortunate.

Bane has a touch of an accent. He's not hard to understand. I had more trouble understanding Commissioner Gordon in the hospital than I did Bane, but every now and then you can miss a word.
And yeah, they removed the super steroids. The closest nod to it is that Bane's breather mask gives him an anasthetic that he needs to help him cope with a badly-treated injury. Presumably, it's also why Bane basically ignores any hit Batman does to him.

Here's an old, but funny piece. History of the world according to student errors on history and English papers.
The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespear. Shakespear never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He lived at Windsor with his merry wives, writing tragedies, comedies, and errors. Writing at the same time as Shakespear was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.
Edit: Changed link. Realized the version originally linked to was a piece that had been edited to remove some of the more hilarious errors.Bach was the most famous composer in the world and so was Handel. Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was very large. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling for him. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died for this.

I cannot help but crack up every time I think about the time that my (lupus) character in werewolf was the pack alpha, the pack was called Gaia's Avengers, and we had to stop Black Spiral Dancers at the white house.
I could barely get it out when I realized what I was about to say, but I did manage to shout, somewhat haltingly, "AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!" and the fact that my character had no clue what he'd just said made it all the better...

Rainymood.com went to the top of my favorites list.
I like rain. I like listening to thunderstorms. Having one on speed dial is one of the best ideas ever.

The end of season 3 of Breaking Bad....if it had stopped right there, would have been a perfect finale.

So, went and saw Amazing Spider-man and Brave today. Both were pretty awesome. Amazing Spider-man is interesting in that it kind of remixes the usual origin stuff, meaning everything's there, just kind of rearranged.
Brave once again makes me want to run a D&D game using Disney's canon...

Self Portraiture of Bryan Lewis Saunders
Interesting. I think I'll pass if offered trazadone or abilify.After experiencing drastic changes in my environment, I looked for other experiences that might profoundly affect my perception of the self. So I devised another experiment where everyday I took a different drug and drew myself under the influence. Within weeks I became lethargic and suffered mild brain damage. I am still conducting this experiment but over greater lapses of time. I only take drugs that are given to me.
