The city in the desert

Serendipity allowed me to stumble across Welcome to Night Vale (or was it?!) and I find it to be terribly entertaining. You need to check this one out K. It's a semi-monthly podcast that is basically a news show for an odd little town in the desert where very strange things happen. (Dogs are not welcome in the dog park) Each episode tends to be fairly short and there's just enough out of the ordinariness that you want to find out what's going to happen next. (The Sheriff's secret police are watching you. And have some friendly advice) Definitely recommended. I would play a game set in this town.

Card Hunter and Knights of Pen and Paper have really made me want to get back into some sort of RPG... I just want to create a character of some sort and roll some dice and have an adventure. I might have to look into getting the Baron Munchausen story game and play it at Drucon or something.

Castle season 5 continues to be enjoyable. Although I wasn't too impressed with the series premiere the other night.

Need to play Formula D again. And possibly Dungeon Fighter...

Checked out Neil Gaiman's latest book, Fortunately the Milk and it was a good amount of fun. I read it to G and used all the fun voices. You have to read this one that way. It's a moral imperative. Anyway, if you're looking for a delightful little tale to read to your kids, give this one a go. It has wumpires. And not the cute misunderstood kind.

Card Hunter is my newest addiction. It's a little free to play online game (really hoping for an ios client) that takes a Dungeons and Dragons theme, throws in card driven combat mixed with strategic character placement and uses them all to great effect. It's got a great sense of humor and is pretty thoroughly wonderful.

For something that's sort of similar on ios, check out Knights of Pen and Paper. It also uses a Dungeons and Dragons setting and mixes in old school console RPG combat. You can set the difficulty yourself as it allows you to determine (for the most part) the number and type of enemies you face off against. Also a lot of fun to play.

Littlest sis managed to get Haven season 3 for her birthday but then it went and showed up on Netflix so we're enjoying it as well. Mwa ha ha ha. Although we're going to have to start watching Castle season 5 as it's on hold at the Library. Hmm. Too many shows. (And I don't even want to go into how many books I'm reading at the moment...)

Went ahead and updated to ios 7. It's very different. There are certainly things I like about it, but it's a little odd too.

How on Earth is September mostly gone?

Hmm

I have no idea what to put on here any more. The random commentary on movies/books/games is wearing old and I think I'd like to look at different ways to share it anyway. I've started playing around with Tumblr some. Well, very little really. I follow a few feeds that I find interesting and I sent a post to the As Seen on Tabletop feed about how I tricked out our copy of Love Letter.

So yeah, I've seen stuff, and yeah we've played stuff and there have been some books, but I'm not convinced this is the format for that stuff any more. We shall see. So posting here will probably go completely random until I figure out what I want to put where and how I want to put it.
