Hooo.. Havent blogged in a 10 days. I even missed an April Fools prank post. Darn.

Well lots of interesting things are a'happening. First off, im picking up DoTA again after a 4 month sabatical from internet gaming in general. Hurray for decadence. Its cutting into my work/sleep time alot so im thinking of going cold turkey.

Ha.

Who needs sleep anyway?

In other news Sam Chan has started up a pen and paper RPG group, great news for RPG/gaming-deprived nuts like Ali, Ken Tay and me. The game is called Shadowrun, a cyberpunk/fantasy hybrid. Think William Gibson + RA Salvatore. Im especially interested in getting invovled in more and more of pen and paper gaming ever since i saw a few comics of it on PvP. Plus, its cheaper than regular com gaming and much, much cheaper than Magic. Plus it invovles a lot of the imagination part of your brain, which is infinitely better than any graphics card, even the ATI Radeon 9800. Or whatever.

But in pen and paper RPG the spectre of Dungeons and Dragons always looms close by. I hear its a really good game from a lot of people, but i also here many bad things about it. Many, many bad things. Some of the stuff is of course borders on the absurd, like the bit about people commiting suicide over the game. But some of the arguements are logical. Which is really worrying.

But staying out of D&D wont really be to hard for me, because in case you dont know, i really,really,really hate magic. Its something i picked up from Batman.



Ill post more after i get ganked in DoTA.
