Wired News: Technology of the Beast
Those of you who enjoy comments that miss the point will particularly enjoy this one.
Grok Spock on the Auction Block
They used my title this time.
Wired News: Warcraft Wonders of Tomorrow
(My suggested title was "O Brave New World of Warcraft.")
Sweet New Silver-Screen Cereals
Readers of the Ratings will find the topic familiar. And someone has already been kind enough to add the grades for me in the comments.
Today's Movie Theaters, Tomorrow
Apologies to those who sat through my movie theater grousing only to encounter the same grousing in somewhat altered form on Wired News. I hope the added jokes are worth it.
I've uploaded another five Flash files to the source directory at Bad Gods. Jeez, two-thirds of the way through already?
It doesn't look like the podcast is up yet, but the text version is there.
This week's column is about carrying your microtech.
Sailing the Sorry Sea of Nausea
I'm continuing to try out different essay types. This one isn't tech-oriented at all, it's based on personal experience. I should point out, before Oprah endorses me, that I have no allegiance to truth in these essays. As far as I'm concerned they're humor essays that may or may not draw on personal experience, not actual autobiography. Having said that, I'm still dealing with the effects of that damn flu.
Give Grumpy Gamers What They Want
I've intentionally covered a lot of ground in my columns so far (not so much in terms of topic as in terms of approach) trying to get a feel for what works and what doesn't work. This is probably my most "normal" humor column so far, using the standard approach of taking my actual opinions on a subject and exaggerating them for ostensibly comic effect.
Ghost of Gaming Rip-Offs Past, with pictures!
This week's column: Taking on the Text Adventure.
It's about World of Warcraft.
This week's column, You Can Play With Your Food, is a sequel to last week's.
It's funny to be on a schedule with a delay. Last night I wrote the first draft of next week's column. By the time a column actually goes up, I'm thinking "Oh, yeah, I wrote that, didn't I? I kinda remember that."
Very different from the "Hey, it's 11:45 pm, I'd better get started on tomorrow's piece" schedule I've generally worked on with my own projects.
Fun Food for the Trivia-Minded, the latest Alt Text column is up.
Secret Note: This column is actually a Rating in disguise.
"Tune In, Turn On, Veg Out" is now available. I would also like to point you to Wired's podcast blog where you can hear my stentorian baritone as well as the stentorian baritones of other Wired News columnists.
(Actually, I'm a bass, but "stentorian bass" seems like it should be a breed of Eurasian sport fish.)
