Happy Don't Be A Dick Day!
When I gave my 2007 PAX Prime Keynote, I said Arcades were more than just magnificent geek Shangri-Las, filled with all sorts of video games and pinball machines. They were a vital part of my generation’s social development. If I beat another kid in a two player game and taunted him mercilessly...
Many happy returns, sir. Hope to get this in front of your eyes on some platform, so here it is --> https://twitter.com/onegemini/status/229652978435497984/photo/1

Hey... play me, and I'll make it easy for you (without being one of those douches that just writes the answer and expects you to play along). My credentials - http://on.fb.me/Hk7OGX

When I get stuck in Draw Something...
One of my mottos for gaming is, "never lose the joy of playing in pursuit of winning." So when I can't seem to figure out an answer in Draw Something, for example, I amuse myself.. The answer was Watergun. It took me awhile, but I eventually got there. HA! HA! FART GUN! IT IS A GUN THAT ...
UPS has done that to me a few times. They misrouted our first LCD TV, offered no apologies, and in fact, routed it to a place just north of me. So instead of just shipping it here, they drove it back to the main hub, meaning they passed RIGHT BY MY HOUSE. It then took another four days to reach me again.
Of course, it was the middle of winter, and instead of knocking on the door and letting me know it arrived, they dropped the package in the snowbank next to our unused back driveway. I only found it an hour later after checking the shipping status.
If I have a choice, I don't use them - but unfortunately, many online stores won't let me choose anyone else.

I shipped two boxes of books to Phoenix on Wednesday, to arrive here by 1030 this morning. I paid extra for this, like you do. As 11am rolled around and my books still weren't here, I got a little nervous, so I checked online to see where my packages were. It turns out UPS fucked up and "incorre...
The Picard wasn't bad, though I thought his accent a bit northern.
Then I remembered, "lots of planets have a north."

Your move, Fan Fiction Writers
This is Safe for Work. As Chris Hardwick says, I think I'm going to buy this, and skip the naughty bits so I can see the story. (There are a bunch of NSFW behind the scenes pictures from actress April O'Neil -- who is a gigantic geek, apparently -- right here.)
Hm - Invincible by Kirkman and Ottley (though I'll read just about anything Kirkman writes). Most of the books by Tony Lee, including the IDW Doctor Who comics (and not just cos I drew an arc of that series *shameless plug*).
I've gone through the same thing with DC that you did, but I still make time for the occasional Action Comics (such as Cornell and Woods' run).
Marvel, it's pretty much just Ultimate [Comics] Spider-man.
And The Guild (well, the mini and the one-shots) from Dark Horse and that Day lady and crew.

It's Wednesday, so here's a post about comic books
When I was a kid, I was a DC Universe guy all the way, with rare forays into the Marvel Universe to read a few X-Men books, and the occasional Silver Surfer 100 page spectacular (remember those? I loved those oversized one shots in the 70s and 80s.) I realized last week, though, that the bulk of...
I look forward to the full boat tale (sea shanty?).
Any chance you might be up for something else next month? http://www.gallifreyone.com/
I would totally pay for a one day pass for you to get you to go.

possible (and very limited) autographed book sale
I've been cleaning out my office, organizing comic books and games, and slowly crawling through a decade's accumulation of geek stuff. It. Has. Been. AWESOME. Last night, I went into the depths of the hallway closet, and behind a bunch of CDs and DVDs, I found nine hardback copies of The Happies...
Applause to all of the above, sir.

in which i spend a day as both father and a son
My son Ryan came home for Thanksgiving, and before he left, my dad and I had planned to take him and his brother to play Frisbee golf. When I got up today, it was fifty-seven degrees below zero, and the wind was gusting with gusto (HA HA HA), and I knew the conditions were not, shall we say, opt...
I was hoping Trevor from WotC would stop by and show you the Fourth Doctor he received from a friend (drawn by me) cos I know you're a fan, but I know everyone was super busy. At least fun was had by all. And no SDCC-like stabbings, right? :)

Home from GenCon. Happily exhausted. I killed a dragon with one hit. Now, it's time to sleep for two days.
On a related note, ever visit (or want to visit) the American Classic Arcade Museum (and attached world's largest arcade?) - http://www.classicarcademuseum.org/

A couple of nights ago, Anne and I spent over an hour watching cold war propaganda and education films on the Internet Archive. Those movies are just fascinating to me, and I've often wondered what it would have been like to live in the world portrayed within them, as opposed to the way the worl...
Cheers and thanks, sir! Your books, blogs, and burrito have been the stuff that helped me get through the long hours of my first big comic book gig (well, the audio things were... not great at reading and drawing at the same time). I shall be a lifelong RFB fan!

Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito! Let's all celebrate the departure of the Goddamn Motherfucking Bulldozer with a reading from Just A Geek! Show Notes: The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc...

The Memories of the Futuremug makes an appearance in Stellar Cartography: Isn't the perspective of the mug and the projector cool? (Thanks to dotsandlines for taking and sharing this picture at flickr)
And that gnome has totally had it up to there.

Between this and your Twitter mention, I had to go hear Eli, The Barrowboy -- I now've got the sad too. Very in the vein of Molly Malone, yeah?

In the world of entertainment, there are things that make me laugh, there are things that make me cry, and there are the rare things that work on so many different levels, or are so surprising, they simply drop my jaw to the floor and blow my mind. This cover of Poker Face by Molly Lewis is one ...
