a spiffy rules variant for munchkin
ByWilMunchkin seems to be one of those games that really divides gamers into seriously polarized camps. I know it’s not for everyone, but I just love it, because it’s just so silly.
regarding the matter of video games v. movies
ByWilI love Lord of the Rings, and even though I’ve been trying to get Anne to sit down and watch it with me again for months, when I had my chance to watch it undisturbed last night, I wasn’t nearly as interested in going back to Middle Earth as I was in going back to Ferelden.
How one redditor found happiness. This is just wonderful.
ByWilI came across one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever read in my life on Reddit this morning, written by a fellow Redittor who shares some insights on finding happiness.
it’s just another day
ByWilThis morning, my ten-minutes-a-day thing is kind of a challenge, because there’s really nothing to write about. Honestly. Nothing has happened since yesterday that I can make even remotely interesting. I thought about joking, thusly:So long, suckers! I sat down to check e-mail this morning, and discovered that I hit the trifecta: I won a…
bumper stickers for proud gamermoms and gamerdads
ByWilI wonder if the current generation of about-to-be-born geeklings will appreciate how awesome it is to have geekmoms and geekdads?
ECCC Programming Question: What do you want to hear at the Awesome Hour?
ByWilI need your help, whether you’re going to be there or not. What do you want to hear me perform? I haven’t been able to write very much new material since the last ECCC, to I’m leaning toward some stories about gaming, and maybe something from the deep archives, like something out of Dancing Barefoot or Just A Geek.

Every home needs a family photo of “The Love Boat” crew.
um… may i be your dog?
I feel there is a lost opportunity to Photoshop the faces of another ship’s crew onto that one…
Aw, happy dog. Does he read comics, too?
wil, i dig on your love boat group portrait
thanks for sharing this moment with me. 😉
How silly of me not to know that you were in “The Love Boat: The Next Wave.” That song is still IN MY HEAD.
LOL the Love Boat pic is classic. That photo may say a thousand words but that pic is screaming /Isaacdoublepistolfingers
I can’t quite make out the poster on the wall behind you, and I am intrigued by it! What is it of?
Yep, that’s pretty much my idea of the perfect afternoon. Although in my case the dog is sprawled across my chest. 😉
I love how that great big dog is trying to curl up into a little ball as if he were still a tiny puppy. CUTE.
Aww, I love your armrest! 😉 Now add in a beverage of choice, and it goes from a good afternoon to a great afternoon.
Doggie cuddling couch comic-reading companionship.
My doggie is taller and weighs more than I, so I have
Doggie cuddling king-sized comforter on floor comic-reading companionship.
Oh I don’t know, I think that picture is actually one word…love.
Such a cutie! (I am referring to the dog of course.)
OT: Here’s something you (and other retro geeks who read this) might enjoy:
This guy made an
array of outdated hardware, incl. a ZX Spectrum, perform a cover version of Radiohead’s Nude.
Awwww. Enjoy those! They are often elusive.
What, no Guinness?
Aww, I love this! How lucky for that sweet dog you guys came to his rescue. He looks so sweet….we have one like him we are trying to adopt out.
I bet he loves to hear you read, huh? 😉
Good memories in the making.
Am I the only one with the ’90s X-Men cartoon theme song stuck in my head, now?
(I’m actually deflecting, because that picture’s cute and making me miss my cat, aww)
LOL! true.
nice comic!
The Love Boat? I did not know that… LOL

BTW
Your track record shows you rarely post on weekends.
Did you break tradition in this one case?
Hey Wil, Just rewatched Stand by Me after about 10 – 15 years or so and you know you have the best lines in the whole movie.

The picture that says, “All is well.”
Why yes, I do believe it looks like it was a good afternoon for you. :]
“The lampshade is askew because of an epic Guitar Hero battle fought here in this very room…”
There’s seventeen of the thousand. Mine are lies. What’s the truth?
A photo of the Love Boat crew, a tesla ball, a comfy couch for reading comics, and a doggie as an armrest. What more could a man ask for, really?
Note: I was going to post this as a comment under MotFC, but the comments were closed there.
So last night, my darling husband mentioned that he was listening to the Memories of the Futurecast podcasts while walking our dog, and that he is “really enjoying them because he [Wil] is kind of a dork.”
To which I innocently reply, “yeah, I really liked listening to MotFC because he reminds me a lot of you.”
He says flatly, “wow, thanks honey…”(annoyed that I’ve categorized him as a dork)
And I say, “what, I love dorks?!?!” *grin*
Cut to a couple hours later, while playing WoW and on vent with my husband and my best friend (which really should demonstrate how dorky we all are…) and my husband says to her, “you’ll never believe what Kris said earlier,” and recounts the whole discussion.
She says- “ummm, that sounds like a compliment to me.”
She’s married to a dork too. We <3 geeks. 🙂
Thanks, Wil, for giving us good things to listen to and to read.
What breed of dog is your snoogems? He looks identical to my rescue-mutt of whose lineage I have oft been curious.
He's a Great Dane mix. We think there's some American Staffordshire Terrier in there, too.
He is seriously the sweetest, most affectionate dog in the whole world, and we just love him to pieces.
