    I am a South Carolinian. This vile person in no way represents the will of most South Carolinians. I am constantly embarrassed by our politicians. If people of good will in thus state woke up and just went to the polls, we could end the tenure of this evil fool and so many others, but it never happens. I am so very tired of this perpetuation of evil, and I’m so heart sick that so much of it comes from the people I grew up with.







  • Three O’Clock High

    It’s like someone set it to make the stereotypical '80s movie. It has surprisingly good cinematography and a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.

    Like most '80s movies, it has some things that have not aged well culturally, so be warned. I don’t think it’s too egregious, but it’s definitely of it’s time.





  • “I do think there are some things we don’t understand. If we’d be back in time a thousand years, trying to explain this place to people, they could only accept it in terms of magic.”

    “Then perhaps it is magic. The magic of the human heart, focused and made manifest by technology. Every day you here create greater miracles than a burning bush.”

    And then…

    “We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocations of equations. These are the tools we employ and we know many things.”

    I love B5 so much.








  • I’ve done a few of these, but I once did a #5/#10 combo. I made a character years ago whose only purpose was to blow people’s heads off with a .44 Magnum. He had virtually no other relevant skills. It was a GURPS/Car Wars mash-up, the former for roleplay and the latter for vehicular combat since we were in the Car Wars universe. I wasn’t much use for anything until the shooting started.

    RIP Jerry “Magnum” Carrost: you were a terrible character, but you were fun.
