Now here's a classic that never gets old: 8-Bit Theater's take on the Dead Alewives' "D&D" skit. It's funny becuse it's sooooo true. Any D&D player's who's anyone has been in a session like this, and anyone who claims otherwise is probably lying through their teeth. The addition of Fighter, Black Mage, and company only makes it funnier.

HGSS: Undaunted scans and Prerelease info
The first few English-language scans from the HGSS: Undaunted set have been leaked recently, including a Forretress (which might combo well with Manectric from Platinum), a Honchkrow (meh), and the Legend Box Trainer card (which might come in handy for those few decks that use Pokemon LEGEND):
Not pictured are a slow-but-powerful Kyogre and Groudon LEGEND, an Espeon Prime (1-2 of which should be required in every Eeveelution deck!), and the Prerelease Promo Leafeon.
Speaking of Prereleases, the ones for this set will be on August 7-8 and 15-16. (Check Pokemon.com for the ones near you.) Besides the aforementioned Leafeon promo, each participant will recieve a set of card sleeves with Espeon and Umbreon in yellow on a purple background. These are probably the best-looking set of Prerelease sleeves I've seen so far. Let's hope they're sturdy.

A few musings on violence in entertainment...
Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvnnnnnnnnnnnk!
(puts down the vuvuzela)
Now that I have your attention, I'd like to share a few (possibly enlightening) comments on violence - specifically, the public's perception of violence in the entertainment industry. As I am typing this, the finals of the World Cup have just begun (go Netherlands!), and it's certain that there's a lot of security on hand to deal with the inevitable post-game brouhaha.
Major gaming events like E3 and GenCon, on the other hand, don't require near as much security.
And they say video games and D&D promote violence?
Something just isn't right here.
