Top Ten Most Embarrassing Characters in the Marvel Universe

(Disclaimer the first: my research was confined exclusively to The Marvel Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Characters of the Marvel Universe, a book which is not as definitive as it would like to claim. Since not every Marvel character ever got an entry, it stands to reason there may be even lamer Marvel characters […]

Survivor: Tocantins, week four

First thing’s first: Sydney and Debbie? Who are they? This season is not doing a great job of making all the characters stand out. I still have no idea who Debbie is, but Sydney is the supermodel flirt who is going to sex her way to the end of the game. Fair enough! That […]

The Magnificent Dong of Dr. Manhattan.

Nobody needs me reviewing The Watchmen, but I’ll say this: I’m glad they didn’t censor Dr. Manhattan’s penis.

I mean that completley unironically and without any sarcasm.

There’s the obvious reason, of course: there was schlong in the original comic, and there’s no practical reason to change it in the film. We can skip the […]

Yo quiero una prueba de la droga!

From 2005 to 2008 I maintained a blog about my experiences working in the drug test industry. Every Sunday I revive one of those experiences here. The following was originally posted July 27, 2005.

¡Yo quiero una prueba de la droga! It’s not in my nature to be racist, but this job makes […]

Hunters are such saps.

Back when I played World of Warcraft I used to keep a blog for my adorable gnome warlock. Every Saturday I share another of her adventures here. The following was originally posted February 26, 2006.

Hunters are such saps.

Let me let you guys in on a secret. Hunters? Yeah. They’re just saps who […]

Survivor: Tocantins, week three

First off, I really like how the red tribe is wearing red clothes and the black tribe is wearing black clothes. Early in Survivor it’s always difficult to keep everyone and their tribes straight, and this helps a lot. So, to whatever CBS guy came up with that improvement, kudos brother.

Coach is feverishly digging […]

I suffer from sandwich anxiety.

I think I’m terrified of the prospect of ordering anything from Subway except a footlong BLT with pickles and green peppers. I went through a period maybe five or six years ago where I almost ordered something different, but forget it. That ship has long sailed. I feel like the sandwich artists at Subway can […]

Let’s Play Super Castlevania IV!

From time to time I record video Let’s Plays and put them on YouTube. I’ve decided whenever I finish one I’m going to post a link here as well as some background information about the videos to kind of reward any YouTubers who actually visit the site.

This is an LP of Super Castlevania IV […]

Survivor: Tocantins, week 2

First thing’s first: the guy I was calling “Taylor” in the last update? Yeah, his name is actually Tyson. My attention-paying skills are top not– hey, what’s that shiny thing?

Getting some more name corrections out of the way: Rancher X’s name is J.T., and he’s gotten to be the leader over at Japalao. […]

My awesome RPG class system… and why it didn’t work.

Rifling through some old papers, I came across an old notebook from high school. Most of my spare time in high school was spent sleeping, but I did manage to have a few lucid moments during which I would direct every neuron in my teenage brain to designing the perfect RPG system. Typically this meant […]
