dork epilepsy fit predicted

In a desperate bid to appeal to an alternate-universe version of myself in which the arrested development has taken on a kind of chronic, consumeristic fever pitch, someone has dreamed up and brought to reality G.I.

I never got into Transformers; I thought they were a rip-off of the Japanese mecha that I was watching from age 6. (linked via Seiburtron, though I have no idea how I ended up there)

He has my face pressed against the hood of a car, my arms twisted hard behind my back. He’s pushing himself against me, shouting: “This is what they did to me in Panama City!” It’s after 3 a.m. and we’re in a parking lot on the outskirts of Chicago. Electronic music is buzzing from the nightclub across the street, mixing easily with the laughter of the guys who are watching this, this me-pinned-and-helpless thing. Francis isn’t laughing. He has turned on me, and I don’t know why. He’s going on and on about Panama City Beach, the spring break spot in northern Florida where Bay County sheriff’s deputies arrested him three years ago on charges of racketeering, drug trafficking and promoting the sexua...

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.
