I found this fun spot in the Bible (Deuteronomy 22) where a lot of rules are laid down about what to do in the various cases of people being caught in marital infidelities. If the people are neither married nor betrothed and the chick is a virgin, someone usually gets paid off and the couple [...]

Dear Everyone, I got news yesterday that my uncle in Georgia died in bed, early in the morning. He went peacefully and quietly, for which everyone was grateful. He was one of the patriarchs of our family and was a generous and very funny man. I cared for him greatly. My sister and I are going [...]

The earthquake disaster that hit (and is still hitting) Haiti is obviously a horrible, horrible thing to happen. Port-au-Prince is wrecked, the government is in shambles, the dead are stacked in the streets, and the hospitals are hopelessly overwhelmed. (What remains of them.) It would be unthinkable to kick these people now, when circumstance has [...]

November 25, 2009

It’s Wednesday, and that means it’s video time! This week’s video is sort of a G.I. Joe vs Transformers, with a bit of Japanese feeling creative splash to it. Strap in, it gets stranger as it goes. (Sorry for nothing here having anything to do with Thanksgiving… oh well!)

It’s the second installment of Dear DM! Enjoy, and don’t forget to post more questions below! Dear DM @Draad: Dear DM,
One of the players in my group recently told me that her definition of a RPG session is like “being in a movie”. The problem is that it fits perfectly the campaign we are in as, [...]

So I was just confused. I mean, (and not to belabor this point, this will go somewhere we haven’t explored yet) I knew that booby-averse companies like CSX would begin to ban HOLE from their servers when I started making pencil drawings of nude trolls, (I love how silly that sounds) but what I didn’t [...]

Because I love you, I bring you this… the slightly pudgy sunglassed super-hero/ninja magic guitar wielding pistolero actor/pop sensation from India, Shivaji Rao Gaekwad, screen name Rajinikanth, also known simply as… Superstar. (Not kidding.)

For the first real installment of Dear DM, I have chosen questions asked in last week’s comments. My hope is to get more questions every week and to keep this going indefinitely. If you don’t see your question below, don’t fret. I’ll be cataloging all the questions and picking some by relevance and some just for [...]

One of my readers who works for the CSX corporation told me yesterday that her company’s firewall now excludes HOLE. It seems that the comic is now too “adult” and they were afraid that there weren’t any working there. (Even allowing for wildly varying values of the word “adult”, it’s hard to see the humor [...]

I used to never believe that the internet could play a part in the destruction of the human race. I thought it was a good thing. A medium for the exchange of ideas and cultures, of ideas, words, and song. A way to help the common man bridge our differences and bigotries of those we [...]
