Is Dungeons & Dragons Satanic?

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 1 Jun 10

Frankly, I'm astonished this question is still coming up. I was under the impression 1980 was nearly 30 years ago, and that was when this particular mania was at its peak. Surely we've got better, more modern targets to aim for...

Movie review: The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galax

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 1 Jun 10

When the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy finally hit the big screen, I was pretty excited. I had always been a big fan of the series, and the movie rights had been tied up in development and legal hell for decades. Finally, it...

Looking for a recommendation for a fast, low-memory browser

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 18 Jan 09

Already tried the usual suspects; Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc. Looking for something with an incredibly low CPU footprint that'll run nicely. Used to use K-Ninja for these purposes, but apparently that's not around any more. Any...

1,000,000 Monkeys Typing

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 3 Aug 08

Anyone else used this website yet? The idea is you type up a story a bit at a time, say 100 words. At each point you break off, you can add more, but so can other people, so the story can branch off in all sorts of multiple...

Anyone using Propeller to socialise articles?

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 1 Aug 08

I believe this is what used to be Netscape's social bookmarking site, but the name changed. Anyhow, always looking for people to add on there, either let me know your username on Propeller, or add me at my profile, at...

If you use IRC, which network would you recommend?

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 1 Aug 08

I'm just curious as to what's popular. I tend to stick to Freenode, mostly for the #Nethack server, but the other channels to be a bit too geek hardcore for me. Occasionally foray onto Undernet, but only for specific purposes. Any...

Is there any sort of central website for playing AD&D games on the net?

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 30 Jul 08

There have to be people who do this; rather than sitting round a table, they meet up in IRC or something and play sessions. Anyone know of any sites where you can arrange sessions like this? Tried googling, and naturally, DDO...

Any MUDders on here?

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 30 Jul 08

Possibly not, given it's something of a dying gameform most places. If you've not come across them, they're basically text-versions of MMORPGs that have been around for donkey's years. Any you'd recommend? I've played on...

Anyone know how long it takes a blog to get approved on here?

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 30 Jul 08

Submitted mine in the blogs section more or less when I joined a month a month ago, and it's been sitting in 'Claimed pending approval' ever since. Anyone got theirs running on here, and if so, how long did it take?

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=47167 So instead of Colm Meaney as Gene Hunt, we now have Harvey Keitel. Now, as much as I like Colm, having 'Mr. White' from Reservoir Dogs play Gene instead of Chief O'Brien from...

Ooh, the censor on here's a bit sensitive, isn't it?

Wolfechu @Wolfechu (1193) • United States 29 Jul 08

Just typed in a response (quite politely) to someone's question, and was told it used objectionable language under Mylot's T&C. Had to spend 10 minutes figuring out exactly what I'd done to upset it, and then I realised. I'd...

Growing older and still playing video games
