I haven't done this in a while, and it's a shame. Must do more...
I think zombies are just about the coolest beastie to ever grace the horror scene. I even did a presentation on them at university, as part of an exercise for the lecturers to teach us about public speaking (turns out I suck, but I knew that beforehand). In it, I discussed the history of zombies in culture, from voodoo magic's supposed ability to create them through to Romero's hit-and-miss films. I went into what they...

I'm bored, therefore trying out this new "web log" thing that seems to be popular these days. So to be really original...
D&D 4e... it's actually not bad. The combat for fighters has progressed beyond "I hit it", and now requires tactics! I was shocked as one can imagine. And nice At Will powers for all classes mean that everyone always has options, while Encounter and Daily powers mean there's still some measure of resource management. The combat is streamlined,...
