Shirgaal’s Rant in E-Minor

HARR HARR HARR!
“I think we threw historical accuracy out the window when you brought that iron Broadsword to a Bronze Age campaign setting!”

‘Black, white. What’s the difference, Nat? Until we get that canal dredged, we’re all niggers. Pardon my french.’
- Frank Sobotka, 7×12, The Wire
Season 1 blew my mind. And naturally, I was worried dead that season 2 would not live up to my incredibly high expectations. I hoped and I wished, and had I been iven [...]

The opening of the Pure Pwnage episode “Just the Guys PT 1″, and is a parody of Zero Punctuation
I for one found it hilarious.

The Wire takes place in Baltimore, Maryland, one of the most dangerous cities in the US, and is nicknamed ‘Bodymore, Murdaland’.
A city plagued by poverty, crime and corruption. The drug trade is flourishing, and everyone wants a piece of the action, whether they be gangsters, politicians, stevedores, businessmen, or even the police.
It’s harsh, gritty and [...]

They said it was good, but I refused to believe. I paid little heed to its praise, and discarded it as nothing but a “teen drama meets cheesy Nancy Drew detective” show. I eventually grew interested enough, but lacked the courage to actually give it a chance. I need a little extra incentive. And so, [...]

Over 20 years ago, the Priests of Morloth convened within the the chambers of the Temple of the Damned, to discuss and interpret these recent signs and portents. Some suggested that Morloth would finally emerge to claim the world that was rightfully His. Others feared that Thyrn, God of Light, would descend upon the earth [...]

I will have to direct your attention to this earlier blog post of mine Because these recent news just confirm my theories and everything I wrote there.
What am I talking about, you ask? Well, simply This: Blizzard has officially announced today that a sequel to the award winning and critically and commercially acclaimed [...]

Showtime’s “Dexter” - based on the novel “Darkly Dreaming Dexter” by Jeff Lindsay - came highly recommended to me, and so, when season 1 hit the shelves at my local DVD pusher, I was quick to snatch up a copy. It turned out to be one of the best purchases I have made in the [...]

“Mr. Devil: You are hereby ordered to cease and desist the use of Blizzard trademarks Diablo, Hell and Evil in promoting your damned realm of eternal suffering”

If you are a fan of the comic, Looking for Group, then you have probably seen this before. And if you haven’t, enjoy.

Also, prepare to be Dick Roll’d!

When Robert Jebediah Freeman decides to move to the predominantly white suburbia of Woodcrest, to live out his twilight years in peace and quiet, his grandsons, Huey and Riley are somewhat less than enthusiastic.

This is the basis for the animated series based on the comic of the same name, by Aaron McGruder.
Huey, the 10 year [...]

Been ages since I last blogged, and so I thought it would be appropriate with an update.
I have spent most of these last months flat-hunting, reading comics, indulging myself in tv-shows, writing, expanding my musical horizon, and editing on WoW Wiki.
After about a year of flat-hunting, I finally found one at a decent price last [...]

I hereby bring you incontrovertible proof of Blizzard’s diabolical brilliance.
Blizzard Entertainment is the company responsible for unholy games such as Warcraft I-III, Diablo, Starcraft and World of Warcraft.
To give not-so quick summary, Blizzard released the fantasy Real-Time Strategy(RTS) game
Warcraft: Orcs and Humans in 1994 focusing on the alien Orcish Horde’s invasion of the Human kingdom [...]

I have to admit, I’m pretty predjudiced when it comes to things like tv-shows, movies, comics and videogames. And I have therefore stayed clear of many products because I have deemed them “worthless”. The result of this is that i often have to eat my own words when I finally bring myself to giving some of these products [...]

(Note this is not a review, but simply me voicing an oppinion.)
Keywords: Skag, national identity, violence, AIDS and Iggy Pop,
The movie based on the novel is one of my absolute favourites, and I’ve seen it countless times since I was 12. Needless to say, it was about time I gave the book a try,
The novel, [...]

(Two video-game posts in a row? Unspeakable!)
Had completely forgotten to blog after the first post, though there hasn’t been much to blog about during the hollidays. But now I’m back with a vengeance.
Skimming through some of my regular webcomics, I came across this hilarious, yet painfully familiar strip: Comic.
And then, a bit later, this: Comic.
This [...]

Not really much of a blogger myself, (I’m a late bloomer) but I have finally discovered the true usefulness of this concept. And no, it is not necessarily to share your thoughts and feelings with other people, but rather to feed your own ego-balloon and to get things out of your system. The possibility of [...]
