The Earth seems to be changing much more rapidly now, then it did in the time of Pangaea...So, some of those images made me think about that...

I hear you, sister. :rrose:

I kind of doubt that this means anything to anyone here except for myself and possibly Maryam, but for anyone familiar with the Glorantha setting, a community for it was just added on Google+:

https://plus.google.com/u/0/communit...6267235?cfem=1

Suffice it to say the Glorantha team is feeling very energized by an extremely successful Kickstarter campaign they just had for a new great big two-volume book on the almost fifty-year-old setting.

I'm still trying to get that one Glorantha campaign my GM wanted to run with myself playing a young Vingan warrior, another player playing a young Nandan bard, and another player playing a blacksmith who follows Gustbran the Bonesmith off the ground. She seems to be one of those people for whom the grass is always greener on the other side: she has so much trouble getting excited about anything that's already on the plate.

Do you remember The Magic School Bus from your days as a young geek?

Is is just me, or does the principal look a lot like Neil DeGrasse Tyson?

got a demo of the latest Smartboard technology at work today. The thing was twice as big as my TV and has amazing capabilities. Think Minority Report.

Hope we get one!

If you were one of the folks who didn't read the books (or listen to spoiler podcasts), do you need to talk about the Red Wedding? Your geek friends are here to help you process the grief

I knew it was coming, but it was still hard to watch....especially when they killed the direwolf :(

I was so thrown off by the fact that Lord Frey was played by Filch from Harry Potter that the entire episode was somewhat Twilight Zoney. I kept looking around for Mrs Norris.

I'm going to have to watch it again now that I've processed David Bradley's presence and now that I know he's not going to start shouting "Students out of bed!"

Yeah, that threw me off as well...I kept thinking if Catelyn Stark had only grabbed Mrs. Norris instead of Frey's child bride, they might have all gotten out alive ;)

I knew it was coming too, and it was so hard to keep it a secret!! I did not know what was coming for Catelyn.... :(

This probably won't mean anything to anyone either, but the upcoming game Starbound managed to land Logan Cunningham, narrator of the critically acclaimed Bastion, as a voice actor in the game. That's like the best news I've heard all day.

Magic? Do you mean the card game, or just something tabletop?

thedivahrrrself 06-07-2013 02:17 PM

LOL Poor Jorah...

The card game. I really like the artwork:
There are awesome animals

Badass monsters
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers...turn&type=card
And of course dragons!

I just had that moment where I realized I would totally play a Minecraft mod about dismantling the patriarchy like legos. I don't know what this says about me.

If I played wargames (and offline tabletop as opposed to the usual online tabletop gaming I do at that), I'd kickstart this.

This is SO true!

thedivahrrrself 06-12-2013 08:35 AM

SOOO true! I want to strangle this kid. He's either a great actor or a real-life asshat!

Someone told me that Cerci was told in a prophesy when she was young that each of her children would sit on the throne... I'm hoping that means Joffrey dies next season!

You HAVE to read the books! If you have an e-reader I have copies I can email you. They are AMAZING! I have them as a pdf on my phone and read them that way.

George Martin (the author) wrote a letter to the kid that plays Joffrey and told him "Congratulations on your marvelous performance, everyone hates you." HAHA!

I have the audio books, just no time!

Undertale
 
Play it. (Warning: the game is not as silly and cutesy as it looks. Also, to exit it, you have to press and hold Escape. Just a heads-up. And, gameplay tip, in the very first room where you have control of the player character, the exit is not obvious. Go to the right.)

Listen to the soundtrack, too. (IMO, track 12 is the best; your mileage may vary.)
