Hi there!

Here’s a helpful tip.

In order to relieve work week stress, try tenderizing meat with your fist instead of a gavel or mallet. It is infinitely more satisfying.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, so I thought I’d write something to let anybody who reads this thing and doesn’t talk to me regularly know that I’m still alive.

I’ve tried a game recently and I love it: Fatal Frame. You take the role of a character searching for a lost family member. You haven’t heard from him in 2 weeks and travel to his last known whereabouts. There’s something…not quite right…about the place he was last seen. You soon find yourself in a battle for your life while you try to figure out what’s wrong with the place. Your only weapon…a camera.

You can use it for nearly anything…! Pictures, videos, sending notes…and it has SUSHI!

Hi again! I was searching the internet and writing some SystemBuilder reports for work, and I had a whole bunch of trouble finding information for the levels at which Palom and Porom earn their various magic spells. I finally found a nice reference over at RPG Classics, but it wasn’t in the format I wanted. I reformatted it into a nice, plain, easy to ready text format, sorted by level. See it below.
