Captain Jack Will Get You High Tonight

As with my first post I decided that these little story updates for our D&D campaign would work better as little pieces of in-game writing. I could easily rattle off what happened in a blow-by-blow manner but that mostly comes off as mechanical.

But at the same time in-character posts are limited to what the characters involved with them would see. This post is a ship’s log from the captain of the vessel where the first game centered around. So while he is aware of the major fights on board the ship he was unaware of events like any of the private conversations that went on in the various passenger’s rooms or characters being stealthy in the background.

So while a lot of the little details might be lost I think for the overall feel of the game these notes just seem more fun. But if you are passionate either way let me know.

Drink #037: Apple Pie Shots VS. Apple Grande,
Theories on the Methods of Consumption

Thee most common question to ask someone who is also into anime is, “what anime do you watch?” It is a fairly good way to judge someone’s tastes. But the far less often asked question is, “how do you watch anime?” While it does not give the depth of information that the first question is able to impart, it does color the way you view series. Some series benefit from being watched in one fell swoop while others are best parsed out over time. Some anime almost demand to be watched with a group while other benefit from an intimate and solitary audience (and I’m not just talking about porn). The question is which show fits into which category.

To help us answer the question, we brought in the always opinionated Daryl Surat from Otaku USA and the Anime World Order.

  • HOLY CRAP THIS IS REAL
    It seems like every week now there is a piece of technology that blows my mind, this time it is new tablet capabilities with a keyboard. If this is where they are going, I’m glad I haven’t bought anything yet because the future looks amazing.
  • Live Action Toy Story
    No seriously, like a frame for frame live action version of the movie. It is kind of insanely good.
  • Vintage FF Posters
    Nice! I think my favorites are V, IX, XII, XIII. And when I say favorites, I mean of the posters not necessarily the games themselves, although I am a huge fan of IX.
