Dante's Inferno

War And XPs

As Zykon's massive army prepares for battle, the Order Of The Stick is taking a short and well deserved respit in Azure City, before continuing their quest to defeat Zykon, not knowing that the evil lich is almost at the gates.

Continuing right after the events of the previous OOTS book, War And XPs chronicles the epic battle of Azure City, effects of which are still rippling through the world of OOTS. On top of strips 302-484, the book has 30 pages of bonus material, including 15 new strips to expand the story, two-page tourist's guide to Azure City, valuable money-saving coupons, and a preface by Elan the Bard, War And XPs is a must buy for all OOTS fans.

Originally scheduled for release much earlier this year, the book was in limbo for several months, but will finally see daylight on August 27th

This here be the Acer Aspire One.

And isn't it just the most gorgeous piece of gadgetry you have ever seen?

It's a subnotebook, also known as a netbook. The screen is 8.9 inches, it has a 1.6mhz processor, 512 RAM and instead of a conventional hard drive, it uses a 8gb flashmemory. So not exactly a highpowered computer, but on the plus side, it only weighs 2 pounds and has a battery life all the way up to 7 hours.

And I'm so getting one as soon as I get some spare cash... which would be on September 2nd.

Stargate Continuum

Posted in Movie Review

Space travel, time travel, massive space battles and lots of science jargon. No, it's not Doctor Who, it's the long awaited Stargate Continuum.

After Ba'al rewrites the timeline, what is left of SG-1 are left on their own, with little time to correct what Ba'al has done, before Earth and all of the galaxy will fall.

Oh, and Jack is back.

The story is one that has been visited many times in the Stargate universe. Altered timelines and repairing them. However, this time there is a twist. Is it morally right to alter a timeline which is the wrong one for a few, but the correct one for billions of others? In a way, it's a new take on the old Star Trek philosophy, with the Vulcan phrase "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" pitted against captain Kirk's "Sometimes the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many, or the few".

The movie itself is like one big fan service. It is as if the writers and producers all went in to a big room and someone, probably Martin Wood went "ok guys, this may be the last SG-1 movie we ever make, and we need to make it perfect". And then Brad Wright said something like "how about we resurrect every single character ever written out of the series". And then they just built on that idea.

The amazing thing is, it worked. It's a massive fan service, with a proper plot, great dialogue, actual drama and thrilling action sequnces. If this is to be the last Stargate SG-1 movie, they really did not go quietly in to that good night. They went in a roar of thunder and fire.

We get rid of the last bad guy... and then there's cake.

BASTARDS!!!!!!!

Posted in Ramblings

I just read on the news, that some cock has stolen the headstone from the grave of Ian Curtis. Is nothing sacred anymore?

Curtis, who committed suicide in the May of 1980, was one of the most influential punk musicians of the original punk era. He fronted the now legendary band Joy Division, which today is considered by many to be on level with Sex Pistols, if not even superior, as the original kings of punk.

Following Curtis' death, Joy Division was reformed in to New Order which went on to become a monumental success. But they would never record anything as big as Love Will Tear Us Apart, the heart wrenching punk anthem which was released only a month before Curtis' death.
