Fannish Items of Interest
Jan. 29th, 2011 04:39 pmTopless Robot is having a contest where you describe the worst RPG character you ever played or encountered. It looks to be mostly Dungeons and Dragons and World of Warcraft, neither of which I’ve never played. I didn’t start playing in any RPG’s until 2004, so I don’t really have any stories.
One of the next movies to get the Rifftrax treatment will be Highlander. I look forward to that.
Ducktales: An Epic History.

There was a time back in 1994 when Katie Couric and Bryant Gumbel asked if someone could explain “what an internet was.” In the fall of 1994, I was just starting 9th grade and high school. I would have just turned 14, and I didn’t have a computer at home yet until a few months later--until then, back in middle school the most I really did with a computer at school was the occasional search, Oregon Trail, and Carmen Sandiego. And learning how to draw a circle in Microsoft Paint. In the dark, because of the teacher freaking out over power consumption, but that's a whole other story. And I still knew what @ meant. Mom says even she knew what @ meant back then.
Funny Sidenote: In 9th grade, I had my first typing class. We only had typewriters, and couldn’t afford computers until 10th grade. I discovered dial-up soon after.
Vh1 is showing Ghostbusters right now, starting at 4:30 PM CST. And it looks as though they are airing the Blu-Ray version. They aired the same version last night, too. Everything’s crisp and bright. When the Terror Dog’s eyes glow, it’s a much brighter red than other airings. The lightning is brighter. When the containment unit blows, it’s not as faded as in previous viewings. Someday, when I can afford a Blu-Ray player, I must buy this version.
