Three Day Flu….
Sorry for the non-posting. Got a bout of the flu, feeling better today, but has been a miserable forty-eight hours. Still have a sore throat and a dry cough but at least don’t have headache+aching bones. Will post something soon. Stay safe…..
Mass Effect: Alliances
Tweet of the Day: What do a tortured vampire and a poisoned witch have in common? ——— “You wanted to see me, Wrex,” said Clan Chief Turtman.

Space for Rent: James Bonding
Tweet of the Day: Faces on the Wall ——— This is a post that blends video games with social commentary. You have been warned. Okay, here we go. Certain video game studios, like EA’s BioWare, are known for the emphasis on story in their game. As part of that emphasis they have included the chance […]

Awakening
Tweet of the Day: Fiddler’s Hill ——– This a superhero origins story loosely based on the DC Comics RPG story a friend of mine is putting together for our gaming group. Some of you might not get some of the references, after all the DC Comic universe is far more than Batman/Superman. Then again, never […]
TV Tropes Monday: Abandoned Hospital
Tweet of the Day: The man with an iceberg grave stone ——— Hospitals are creepy, no doubt about that. But this trope takes it to eleven. I think it is the stench of failure that surrounds such places.
