Links and a Rant

Leonard Kirk's Balls Part III.

The List of what's happened since Duke Nukem Forever was first announced. I particularly like the list of thing that have taken less time: "The Beatles formed, released every single one of their albums and broke up."

Paul Cornell on Top Trumps. Odd how characters are rated for games.

Dave makes a point. And well, I thought.

Why speculating on comics is stupid.

Stick Figures In Peril. Ouch.

Ug. I wonder where the girl's parents were. There's all this freaking out about the internet being a haven for predators, but if parents were actually parenting and not relying on the internet to provide entertainment for their kids (which is kind of like telling a kid to go play in Grand Central Station and expecting nothing bad to ever happen), then these problems wouldn't be happening. So where were the girl's parents while she was arranging to meet this guy? Why didn't they stop this? I don't love MySpace, but blaming them for a girl being stupid is... well, stupid. By all means, punish the man who committed assault, but why blame MySpace? Are they going to sue the phone company that allowed the guy to call her, too?
