D&D Insider

Looks like WOTC might have finally stepped up in terms of its PC offerings. Boing Boing gadgets has some screenshots of this program which will allow you to play D&D 4.0 tabletop over the net with your friends. Sure, other, third-party programs have allowed you to do this before, but they've been hard to configure and generally unwieldy. Hopefully WOTC will get it right. It looks cool, at least.

Goldfrapp Video

I think this song, "A&E" is good, I'm not totally agog with it, but the video is very cool (if not a little bit silly).

Jack Thompson vs. Fake Samuel Jackson

First of all, what the fuck? Why dare me to debate, spend all day organizing that debate, then insult me and pull out like the Purple fucking Pie-Man coming on Strawberry Shortcake?

This is one of my favorite lines regarding circumstances surrounding a blogger operating as Samuel Jackson, posted about Jack Thompson once again blaming videogames for the NIU tragedy. Jack Thompson responded, thinking it was the REAL Samuel Jackson, and asked for a debate. Well...

Dare? Hell yeah, you dare Sam Jack and you damn well better expect a response. News Groper took him up on that shit. We spent all day emailing him, responding to his emails, working out a system to get this debate on the road. And at the last minute–I bullshit you like I’d bullshit Christ Almighty–the motherfucker bailed like Bowser at the end of level three of Super Mario.

Hilarious. Here's Sam musing on Phantom Menace:

I told Lucas I’d play Mace Windu only if I didn’t go out like no got-damn chump. And how’d I go out? Like a got-damn, scrotum-fingering chump. Even Boba Fett got a better death than I got. I fell out a motherfucking window.

It's a one-trick pony, but it's spot-on. Thinking about Samuel Jackson actually saying this tickles me to no end.

Chris Berman meltdown

Forgive me for my schadenfreude here, but this is too funny.



In case YouTube pulls it, click here. You probably should, anyhow, as the Deadspin comments, per usual, are almost as funny as the video itself.
