“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Blast from the past

And I do mean past: This was a trip down memory lane for me. I grew up watching these videos- must have seen them a hundred times as a little kid in Southeast Asia, back in the days of VHS. I think my parents got me started on the books when I were a very wee...

I might have been mistaken

A little over 4 months ago, I wrote a somewhat grumpy response to one Radhika Sangani’s Bonobo Nose’s sentiments about the very sad and untimely demise of THE GREATEST TV SHOW OF ALL TIME, also known as Top Gear. In that response, I noted on a bit of...

A vodka shot too far

So there I was, rocking out to some awesome power metal and generally enjoying life with a decent bottle of alcohol handy, when I stumbled across something that made me sit up and question my own sanity: After recovering from the initial shock of WTFness, I had...

Begone, demon!

Tech support as exemplified by the very first Sluggy Freelance comics, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1997: Damn you, John Ringo, you insanely talented bastard! You got me hooked on this impossibly awesome webcomic! Share this: Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on...

Dr. Pangloss was right

Apparently I am not the only person in the world crazy brilliant enough to think that chocolate and bacon go together: My friends, the doomsayers are wrong! We live in the best of all possible worlds! Surely, if the existence of the weaselpecker was not proof enough,...

A special message from Lord Vader

Now THIS is what Darth Vader should be- not the emo whiny bitch-ass crybaby that Episode III turned him into! What he said, y’all. Also, can we just take a moment to put paid to one of the most flagrant abuses of the STAR WARS canon that Lucas the Hutt has ever...

The worst song ever released

Here’s a simple question for you. What’s the single worst song you’ve ever heard? I mean, EVER? There are quite a few worthy candidates. The Hamster Dance, for instance, is a perennial favourite for the title of “Worst Song Ever”. Then...
