    Fetch Quest

    Dan muses on the nature of the "fetch quest" in video game RPGs, and how we as a culture may be shaped by them to such a point that they will one day become acceptable in the real world, not just on computer screens. And he plans to take advantage of that fact, when the day comes.

    Satisfied

    I saw XKCD #584 - "Unsatisfied" - this morning. In the comic (in a slightly Sliding Doors way), a man chooses between one of two lovers, and spends the rest of his life thinking about the other one in a "what if" kind-of way, leaving him ultimately unsatisfied with his life, regardless of which he โ€ฆ

    This is fabulous: Garfield Minus Garfield. It's what you get if you digitally remove Garfield from Garfield comic strips - a better comic, touching on themes of loneliness and schizophrenia. Genius.

It could be said to be fourth-wall breaking, except for the fact that it never โ€ฆ

    Of Unusual Troma Nights

    Well, Paul's mid-Troma Night fire was still on, so after watching The Wicker Man we all raided the nature reserve for wood, raided the filling station for petrol (mmm... accelerant) and went and set up on the beach.

    Hollywood Pizza were good enough to bring us our pizza on the beach, which was awfully nice of โ€ฆ
