So, apparently SRD is a hobo

Or so Penny Arcade would have you believe. Seriously, you be the judge:

SRD the hobo (last panel)

SRD the author

I suppose there's the off chance that the character is not, in fact, Mr. Donaldson, but that's certainly the closest cartoon likeness of him I've yet seen.

My favorite movie ever. Saw it at a midnight showing the day it hit theaters, and I can't stop thinking about it. Oh, Marv!

This post might seem disjointed because that is the current state of my mind at this point in time. I blame society.

I don't see a few cosmetic differences as turning a character into "a completely different one." If you cannot tolerate something as frivolous as minor appearance alterations, then I reccomend you stay away from every film adaptation of anything at all. They all, without exception, do it, ...

I can't say that I've ever read Hellblazer, but I found Constantine to be a pretty enjoyable movie. Sure, Keanu has all the acting talent of a clay brick, but Constantine as depicted by the movie is an emotionally distant guy anyway, so it worked for me. It wasn't what one might call a "cinemat...

Hey, Adams is pretty well known for his tendency to change a story around every time it's told in a new medium, so it's possible that he was the original architect behind the increased love story stuff...I'm glad to hear that the movie is a good one; I'm sure to take time to see it on May 6 (or Apri...

I think I can see what he's talking about. The wild magic represents Covenant's wild and passionate love for the Land as well as his articulation of his desire to protect it. Viewed from that perspective, the second Chronicles can be said to be about how wild and reckless passion and love can often ...

Nice, I rather enjoyed it as well, but I'm disappointed with the trend the Zelda games have been following lately where they get shorter and shorter...what happened to putting more than 10 dungeons in these games? They've been whittled away over time...what a shame...

American Dad looks to me like Family Guy with a different cast. It's essentially the same show, they're just focusing on a different family. Not that I mind, of course, I loved Family Guy, but if they do both at the same time, it would be easy for one show to steal ideas from the other...there could...

Don't take this personally, but I cringe whenever I see Covenant referred to as an "anti-hero." Actually, much like SRD himself, I don't like the term "anti-hero" at all. Covenant is a damaged and flawed protagonist who finds redemption over the course of the series...in fact, th...

A thought I had while reading Runes, and I think I've mentioned it before, is that each of the Chronicles seems to feel like an expansion of one of the books in the first Chronicles. In other words, Lord Foul's Bane is like a microcosm of the entire first Chronicles, The Illearth War parallels the S...

When you use the word "you're" it does imply that the speaker is not a part of that group. I take by the fact that you have the internet access to post that your life isn't independent of oil products, so perhaps "we're" would've been the better word to use. It also would seem th...
