This year, Gnomewise, Daksa, and Grail from Casually Hardcore will be attending Penny Arcade Exposition in Seattle. During the convention, they will be bringing you as much coverage and as many interviews as they can arrange. It is likely to be an extremely hectic, busy, and massively fun time.

Keep your eyes on this page and the Events page so you don't miss any of the great live coverage!

Folks, I feel like a truck hit me. To give you an idea of how I feel, I actually left an Indians game early last night because I felt so awful (apologies to Valsheer[1G] and his gf for ditching them early)  and we won! I apologize for the late notice, but until about 10 minutes ago I was going to try and gut it out. The show will air in its entirety, live, later this coming week. I'll post it once the time is set.

The anti-bullying crowd is on the march, and as ever, I've got a few things to say about it.

What then? Do we only help those who seek to help themselves? Isn't the unintended consequence of that course of action leaving out the people who won't or can't ask for the help? Leaving those people to their fate? The thing I want you to ponder to a moment is this: is it worse to offer some people help while ignoring others, or accept that pubic school is the single most Darwinistic environment on Earth and give help on a case by case basis when it is warranted?

Heya folks,

I'm back with another blog entry about getting cited for DUI while riding a bicycle resulting in getting your driver's license.

Among the Legal Narcotics, the most interesting is alcohol. It is completely legal to imbibe alcohol, but you wouldn't know it in the US. The legal limit for blood alcohol content in most states is .08%. I realize it is much more restrictive in Europe; conversely in the US less than 30 years ago the legal limit was .15%, or “rule of thumb”, if you could walk to your car, you could drive home.

Just a reminder COTE faithful, The Emperor's Court returns to VTW airwaves this Saturday, August 14th from 6-9pm US Eastern. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, tell the fat kid who brings you your donuts, we're STILL your 3 hour break from Internet Porn!

Heya Folks,

Something ran across my twitter today, and I couldn't let it go without some kind of comment, so check out my latest blog entry:

The reason why post-apocalyptic stories and settings are so compelling is a combination of psychology and familiarity. The world we all know and love being reduced to rubble or the preconceptions associated with advanced society being removed puts the individual in an uncomfortable hypothetical scenario. Specifically, how far would an individual go to survive? Would one eat other human beings? Would one throw a weaker individual to a wild animal (or zombies) to save their own life? And so on. The reality of what we were as humans and as humanity make the post apocalypse world compelling.

Enjoy,
