Level Cap a Hordie

Categories: 101 Tasks

I would like to, someday, break through the level 20 barrier and get up to a decent level. I have Horde friends who want to play with me. Note that I didn’t say level 80 level cap; it’s entirely possible I won’t get to this before the next expansion.

The Savages

Categories: Reviews

One hour and twenty-three minutes into The Savages, someone does something kind for no reason other than to be kind. No guilt is involved. It’s a simple act of kindness. It’s the first time that happens in the movie, and it’s close to the last time. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance here. The category was Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. His fellow nominees included John C. Reilly in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. ...

101 Tasks

Categories: 101 Tasks

Also then you don’t get the fun symmetry effect. 101 in 1001. Oooh. There is a whole site (original) about this idea. My start date is Sunday, February 1st, 2009. My end date is Sunday, October 30, 2011. I don’t have a full list yet but waiting for that to occur seems doomed to procrastinatory failure. ...

Megadungeon

Categories: 101 Tasks

My old-school gaming side is charmed by the idea of a whole campaign centered around a single dungeon. My perverse side wants to do it in 4e. I have a concept in mind: the Clocktower. It probably has too much plot in it for a real grognard’s taste.

Replace Bed

Categories: 101 Tasks

Our bed is somewhat creaky and poorly put together. Something more solid would be a good idea. Also, the futon is about as old as the bed.

Family D&D

I was gonna do this at Christmas, but circumstances prevented. Jacob seemed fairly chuffed at the idea, and Mom was amused, so hey.

Learn Ruby

I feel like I should. All the cool kids are doing it. I don’t have to be super-good with it, but I’d like to be able to use it. (Deja vu!)
