Bungie jumped
For those of us who love HALO, the name, "Bungie Studios", is one that we treat with great reverence. HALO fans - who make up a significant portion of this site's readership – regard Bungie as the...
Monday morning return to reality
Well, the holidays were fun while they lasted, but it is now time to get back to work. Nobody wants to, of course, this being a Monday, and therefore the most horrible and awful day out of the seven...
Friday T&A: Time Vampires Edition
At long last, the site (or rather, its author) is BACK. More or less. I had hoped to resume full writing duties by earlier this week, but, well, let us just say that a few things got in the way....
The Farce is with us, always
Most of us generally have better things to do - especially as we get to around middle age, or thereabouts - to waste time on nostalgia. Life goes on, things change, and there is little point in...
Site hiatus
Poasting is going to be light to non-existent (which is to say, only slightly less frequent than my usual barely-phoning-it-in level of output) over the next two weeks or so. My family is in town,...

The absolute and appalling state of PommieBastardLande
Take a look at the picture above. Where do you think it was taken? Calcutta? Manila? Addis Ababa? Cairo? Nope. All wrong. That picture is from Great Britain’s second largest city (by population) –...
Broken, beaten, bloodied, and betrayed
Pondering through the Scriptures this morning, I was much struck by the passages in all four canonical Gospels concerning Judas Iscariot, the one who ultimately betrayed Jesus. The grand sweep of...
The Crucifixion
So they took Jesus, 17 and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called The Place of a Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgotha. 18 There they crucified...
