My life
At least I neva wonder why ppl call me a geek.
This is my life exactly
How many of you mention the advantages of your +2 ring of Charisma during steering council?
Trust me... when some of the people display the effects of their -4 Wis. stats during offensive meetings, having "unarmed strike" and "fury of blows" is worth its weight in gems (5d12 at least).

U.S. infantry: future weapon?
The U.S. defense has released the knowledge that it is planning on re-testing the last Aberdeen results.
The results of the test will lay heavily on the choice the U.S. defense picks for it's next outfitter contract as a small arms rifle. Though the official statement is "yet to be stated".
In Oct. 2007 ten of each type of rifle were used to fire 6,000 rounds each, for a total of 60,000 rounds per rifle type, the rifles were fired in extremely dusty/windy/moist conditions. (the test chamber's called the "dust bowl")
The guns and the results were:
H&K's XM8 (the the "x" signifying it's still never been released)
127 stoppages
F.N.'s S.C.A.R. (damn French)
226 stoppages
H&K's 416 (changed from HK16 due to wanting to avoid possible copyright infringements)
223 stoppages
Colt's M4A1 (only american company jockeying for the position, and the current issue of army dum-dum's)
882 stoppages
(shown with a forward handle)
Colt got a "re-test" sanctioned due to scoring 307 jams in the exact same test about 4 months before.
It shouldn't matter, Germany is top of the gun game.
On a side note: Bushmaster (who makes the M4 replica you can buy at Academy or Walmart) won it's court case against Colt. With the judge declaring that the "signature shape", "design", and the name "M4" now being "generic". With bushmaster simply being slapped on the hand for false advertising.
Step one for any company wanting to take on the man. That aside bushmaster sucks

Flight of the ConChords
These guys mostly suck but I thought these two were pretty funny
..this is the greatest love song EVA!
I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
...Steve.

E. Gary Gygax: This one's for you
Todays the day we all shed a tear and lift our pints in your honor bro.
You were a visionary, an inspiration, and a god among us mere mortals. May your eternal mansion be rolled for on a 20 sided and your harem always play classical music.
...with sword in hand I raise my fist, wipe the beer off my barbaric jaw, and salute thee.
"Rest easy old friend, we'll be along shortly"
I wonder if he'll get to the pearly gates and St. Peter will ask him to roll a save-vs-hell.
Since Chick Publications made so much hype calling D&D "Satan worship" an all that crap, Gygax removed all "devils" and "demons" from the full second edition, making the world think that Christians believe "if you don't see it it won't exist". I wonder what version the Almighty is gonna be playing with him.
