Sigh.

I love cosplayers

I do. Without any irony.

But at their most put-on-the-spot, they are really funny.

And I forgot I can't embed YouTube videos on a WordPress.com weblog, so click over yonder, young internet seekers.

I can’t attribute this because he’s talking about his ex-girlfriend, but it’s quite quotable

D&D Online review

More than one person has sent me today to Slashdot’s review of Dungeons and Dragons Online, which towards the end kind of echoes my feelings about what I’ve gathered from what I’ve been seeing/reading: it’d be great if we (and I’ve been talking to some people about it, so theoretically, we) had a regular party of people we like, and we made a bowling night out of it (like, say, every other Tuesday or whenever), but otherwise it seems kind of unfeasible. It could be made more palatable if most people playing this were fun people or great roleplayers, but I’ve already read some of the DDO forums, and, uh, no. It’s the internet, people are dicks.
