I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME

I am a newly converted vegetarian, and I might still eat this

Our best friend, Quentin Tarantino (seriously, he's my BFF after Lulu) shares with us AND US ALONE his top 11 movies of the year

This is mostly scary because it is true that I can only raise one eyebrow, and it's my right.

Lulu and I often talk about this, so now you can talk about it with us, too.

I have literally never felt this old before.


Love, pure and simple


I refuse to explain myself.

Character Creation.

Is hard.

Okay, guys. I've played some D&D in my day, I've created characters for a whole lot of different games. Know what game's character creation is kicking my asterisk dollar sign dollar sign?

Here's a hint.

Okay, FINE that wasn't a good hint.


Better?? FINE.

Remember how I played Hero Quest with some cool boys recently? The one who is a little too into character decided that we're going to play Shadowrun via Skype. True Life: I Am A Nerd. You can catch my episode on MTV soon.

I've been spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to create my two characters for this campaign, and oh my cthulhu is it hard. Pause.

Anyhoo, I thought I'd utilize 8-Bit Runway as my own personal complain-o-sphere for a moment. Why? Because no one, your momma, shut up! Take your pick.

In case you are unfamiliar with Shadowrun, join the club! Because so am I still, despite the fact that I've read the core book cover to cover at least three times. I am clear on the fact that it's a pen-and-paper role playing game. And that's about all I know. According to one of the covers, Shadowrun is a WKGames™ and FANPRO game... okay, that's not the helpful cover."THE SHADOWS HAVE EVOLVED. The year is 2070"( shit, that's just 7 years before the great war! I should probably make sure my characters invest in a vault spot.)" The world is not only Awakened-it's wired. Cyber and bioware implants make your meat body better-than-flesh, while the wireless Matrix™" (yes, the first edition of this game came out way before the movie) "enhances your perceptions with hyper-real senses. Deals are made in steel and lead more often than gold or nuyen; success and failure live only a razor's edge apart."

It's a very cool game concept. According to the wikipedia site, "
the original game has spawned a franchise with a card game, two miniature-based wargames, multiple video games, a series of novels, and music." Which just makes me think I need to find the music this game spawned. My guess is it's dubstep.


Seriously.

When I make a character, I delve in. Seriously. I spent three hours on a totally legit name research site on names alone. I spent another five trying to find the prefect pictures to represent them. Once again, my MTV special will be airing soon [not really]. Worth it.
