So yeah, I’m obsessed with Legend of Neil, which is an online comedy about a guy who accidentally gets projected into Legend of Zelda on the NES. He runs around fighting and doing the levels, but he’s very disaffected and just not that into collecting pieces of the Triforce or whatever. They’re really clever about [...]
An unnamed publication asked me to select what I considered the 6 greatest fantasy novels of all time. Because my hunger for money and fame cannot and will never be satisfied, I agreed. Feel free to weigh in if you have thoughts.
Basically it’s an alpha version of the T-1000:
I’m just one of those people for whom gag reels are automatically funny: Update: it was good while it lasted.
The Hitchhiker’s books have always been a big deal to me. My siblings and I got them early — probably because I have family in England — so I was already deep into Douglas Adams when my friends didn’t know who he was yet. It seemed like a big secret that we had all to [...]
Back in the day there used to be this thing called Comdex. It was a huge technology trade show that happened in Las Vegas in November. Every year all the tech journalists would go out there, walk the show floor all day, file their stories at midnight, then go out and lose money at Binion’s [...]

You probably know them anyway. For a more thorough introduction, try Lifehacker’s walkthrough. My main impression is this: it’s much, [...]
Yesterday a Brooklyn man was attacked by a neighbor wielding a samurai sword. The man apparently escaped with cuts on his head and hands, despite a chorus of onlookers chanting “finish him, finish him!” This is hardly an isolated incident. Ninja attacks are on the rise.
You might know Felicia Day from Dr. Horrible, or The Legend of Neil, or Buffy, or Dollhouse, or from the Web series she created, The Guild, which is now out on DVD. Or you might just know Felicia Day from Felicia Day — she’s a huge Web celebrity, basically for being smart and nerdy and [...]
I feel like one of the millions of starving children who unlike Charlie Bucket didn’t get a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s factory and subsequently died in poverty and obscurity. For I have not gotten an invitation to Google Wave:
Perversely, I am attempting to solve Geo-Defense Swarm in a “clean” way — i.e. w/out resorting to drugs (other than the usual cocktail of caffeine and alcohol), genetic modification or consulting online strategy guides. Honor demands it. For some reason. But I am getting manhandled by this thing. Still haven’t beaten level one on medium. [...]
