Kyra Smith is a pointless dilettante and a screaming Earl of Rochester fangirl. She used to be a sophisticated and cultural person but now she just plays computer games where she gets to run people over in stolen vehicles.
- at 11:34 on 28-07-2010 link The other thing I've found to keep MMOs in sane proportion is to only play them WITH someone else - so in WoW in log on *to* raid with my guild, or to play with Dan on the assumption that "doing something with Dan" was going to be how I would spend that time anyway.

- at 23:30 on 25-07-2010 link Thank God, the playpen is safe again!
- at 23:03 on 18-07-2010 link That looks amazing!!!
- at 01:32 on 18-07-2010 link I am Kyle :( I am the unfunny one from South Park.
- at 09:36 on 16-07-2010 link Sorry, I've been at large on the internet today (can't you tell): Etsy creations that aren't steampunk.
- at 09:33 on 16-07-2010 link Alasdair, I also write like HP Lovecraft: ponderous and faintly racist I guess. :( :( :( UNSPEAKABLE BLASPHEMY! In other news, I've just discovered Improv Everywhere - what delights me about these videos is the sheer sense of fun but I love the surprised enjoyment on the faces of the watchers.
- at 16:03 on 12-07-2010 link Hey, the cover art for Joe Ambercrombie's next novel looks exactly the same as all his other novels....
- at 09:23 on 02-07-2010 link Cracked.com on How to Write a Nicholas Sparks movie. Much smirking and loling over here. "Nicholas Sparks stated that he has no contemporaries. No one else does what he does. He writes unpredictable love stories, not trashy run-of-the-mill romance novels like Shakespeare."
- at 13:37 on 29-06-2010 link Greg Wise Reading Persuasion. I think this is meant to be swoonworthy but it actually makes me giggle like a maniac. I mean, he's got a lovely voice but ... why ... does ... he ... keep ... pausing ... like ... William ... Shatner. Also the smouldering looks he keeps giving the camera ... rofl.
- at 13:58 on 24-06-2010 link Woffles! I was playing that this morning - it's insanely chaotic. I've also recently been enjoying Doodle God.
- at 16:17 on 22-06-2010 link It's sadly devoid of sparkly robot unicorns but I have a raging addiction to Desktop Dungeons.
- at 12:51 on 22-06-2010 link Dear God, what is wrong with the Smart Bitches?!! Did they read the same book as me?! "It’s also about a terribly smart, horrifically brilliant woman, who is both the predator and the victim." This is the wankfantasy with the childlike breasts?! PLEASE.
- at 16:29 on 21-06-2010 link Can I just point out that the playpen is nothing but grey blurs now... :P
- at 12:42 on 18-06-2010 link I don't like the fact it's using a term spawned by Tales of Wank - I did find it more useful to think of it as a kind of interactive art/media piece than a "game" perse or a "notgame." Also viewing it as a "piece" rather than a game, I didn't have any real problems with the non-gamey aspects of it - like the fact there's limited interactivity and all that, and there are no meaningful choices / consequences to your actions. Given that it's about, y'know, human rights that struck me as kind ...
- at 09:53 on 18-06-2010 link I fail at everything. I have no idea who any of those people are. But Sean Bean is squeeee enough for me.
