Velan The Reticent

You may know him as “that guy responsible for Two Lumps,” but James L Grant is a multi-talented badass. Case in point? He’s about to self-publish the first in a planned series of riffs on the Conan mythos (The Barbarian, not The Ginger Talk Show Host) called “Velan The Reticent.”

And since he’s making it available as an ebook, I will purchase a copy for my Nook Color once he gets that bad boy out the door…

Two hundred of them?

I can’t believe that I’ve posted two hundred of these things over the course of nearly two years. Even more mind-boggling is that a few dozen people read them every week.

So, I’ve accomplished that, at least.

Wow.

I didn’t know “Abrahamic” was a word.

But that doesn’t stop this comedy bit from being utterly hilarious and spot-on.

Where does all of that money go?

You know, you’d think that Microsoft could afford proofreaders for their EULA boilerplate text. But…

Sloppy, guys. Very sloppy.

Christmas-y Things

First off, I would like to direct you over to that webcomic of mine for this year’s holiday event: The Quackvent Calendar 2010. (Last year the ducks presented The Twelve Days Of Christmas in their own off-kilter fashion. This year I decided that coming up with a second new set of lyrics was completely out of the question.)

On a wholly different note, may I just say that I cannot take all of this manufactured-hype “Cyber Monday” and “Cyber Wednesday” (Really guys? Really?) shopping stuff seriously. Why? Because once upon a time, I was a young man on the Internet.

Think about it.

When You Wish Upon A Yule

Since the subject seems to have come up lately:

Thinkgeek Wishlist
Amazon Wishlist (I know, there are valid reasons not to patronize Amazon. You’re not even remotely required to buy anything from them, mind you, but it’s the only place I have access to all of the music, books and videos I want all in one storefront, so that’s where I keep the wishlist.)
Funagain Games Wishlist

This entry may be updated if I find somewhere else that I should have made a list… and/or checked it twice…
