Into Netherstorm and Out Running Outland I had a simple plan.  Barely a plan even.  I was just going to take my level 10 Dark Iron dwarf to Outland because it is the oldest or old school content remaining in retail WoW.  There I was just …

Don't make me tap the sign

I think the McDonald's fry cook is pretty safe. They have such an automated process already that they can hire a new kitchen staff every day and feel no impact. A robot has to be pretty cheap to replace a few minimum wage workers.

So, yay?

General Admission ticket stub ($12.00) for the Ramones, appearing at ONE STEP BEYOND in Santa Clara, California, Tuesday, July 12, 1988.

I feel like Herb Alpert is being unfairly maligned here, but can I make defending him punk rock by posting a ticket stub from when I saw the Ramones in the late 80s?

Does my having tinnitus since that show put an element of punk rock in everything I do if I still have that ringing in my ears?

Also, I am curious as to what defines an android versus a robot vs an RC humanoid, but not so interested that I will actually open the story to read it.

Let some mystery remain in the world.

Torn between:

We must not allow an android gap!

and

Impressive battery technology I guess.

TAGN Fantasy Critic League 2026 – Week Sixteen sees OPUS: Prism Peak On Top Week sixteen promised to be another big week, with five titles set to launch. The question was, as always, how much would that shake up the rankings.  But first we have to start where the scores st…

Friday EVE Online Bullet Points in a Wet Spring Season Well, it has been wet here in California, or wetter than usual.  And that is a good thing, since dry years tend to end up with a good portion of the state on fire come the summer. Wet weather also …

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

I never got the memo.

I Can Go Where I Like in Outland, So Why Am I in the Blades Edge Mountains? As I mentioned in my last update on our venture into retail WoW, I chose to take my Dargan, level 10 dark iron dwarf, to Outland, that being the most old school, least cut-scene laden option in Chr…

He is the ideal case. His face has little expression, like he is a low polygon model of a human, and he has no actual personality or wit.

Move over Arthur Dent, Zuck could absolutely be replaced by an AI mechanical brain.

(Except, of course, Zuck does not have sufficient personality to sport a mustache. He maintains a strictly low resolution appearance so that he can be correctly rendered watching you on a range of devices. Coming soon to that scree on your fridge!)

TAGN Fantasy Critic League 2026 – Week Fifteen and the Wrath of Pokemon Champions Week fifteen and we had just one title set to ship… and the headline should be a hint as to how that went. The question is how badly it went, but we’ll get to that after we review the s…

Vibe:

"I'm not locked in here with you!

I'm locked in here with me!"

"Surprise MF! Now WE close the Straight of Hormuz!" has got to be the most insane plot twist so far.

Wasn't our minimum face saving goal to at least open the straight?
