The Modern Man: Why I will never play the Age of Conan MMO
http://reignofbluefish.blogspot.com/2008/05/why-i-will-never-play-age-of-conan-mmo.html
Wednesday, May 28, 2008. Why I will never play the Age of Conan MMO. Conan as he is meant to be: covered in blood, holding two gore-soaked swords, with a barely-dressed woman jonesing for a helping of his steely thews. (ironically, image taken from a video game). So then, why does a Conan MMO offend me so much? And that is why I will not be trying the Age of Conan MMO. May 29, 2008 at 12:06 AM. May 29, 2008 at 9:51 AM. May 29, 2008 at 3:31 PM. I think that the real reason you won't be playing Age of Cona...

Wednesday, January 22, 2014. It's January 22nd Again. Another year has come and gone that marks the passing since Robert E. Howard stormed into the world in 1906.

The Modern Man: June 2012
http://reignofbluefish.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Open Letter to the Gaming Industry: Real Swordfighting. You stab me and I'll stab you. Then you can stab me again. It'll be way more fun than actually swordfighting! Ladies and gentlemen,. Synthetic Bloody Knuckles" being the title for an awesome cyberpunk band. Many a long year ago, Bushido Blade. Unfortunately, since this was 1997 and therefore the era in which characters looked like papercraft dolls, the simulation left something to be desired. Attacks were slow and pondero...

The Modern Man: May 2012
http://reignofbluefish.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. Thank You, George Lucas. I remember loving Star Wars. Deeply as a child. I can't remember many things I was as enthusiastic about as Star Wars. I drew pictures about it endlessly, recreating scenes from memory days, weeks, or even longer after watching the film. My brothers and I played Star Wars. All the time, making up our own stories using the characters from the films. Perhaps the biggest piece of praise I can give the films from my childhood is that Star Wars. That something...

The Modern Man: October 2011
http://reignofbluefish.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 23, 2011. Because I Try to be Balanced. I found this on Facebook. Now, of all the things they could have highlighted in a game about Conan, things like an awesome fantasy setting, exotic locations, high adventure, weird magic, the chance to be a hero; they had to go with violence and people wanting to ban it? Now that's something sure to get me hooked. Don't even get me started why they're using some chick with cleavage instead of Conan himself. Reminds me of that ad with the half-nak...

The Modern Man: Writing Thought
http://reignofbluefish.blogspot.com/2012/05/writing-thought.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. May 11, 2012 at 11:18 PM. I had a friend in college who couldnt hold a job, flunked out, and left his wife and kids after giving them one days notice. He once told me he WANTED to become an alcoholic because it seemed cool. Today hes a failure by more conventional measures. Assuming he hasnt been fired, hes a night watchman at a warehouse. Hes still one of the most interesting people I know. May 30, 2012 at 8:44 AM. How much do i know? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Lord Admira...

The Modern Man: "The Last Incantation"
http://reignofbluefish.blogspot.com/2012/04/last-incantation.html
Wednesday, April 4, 2012. I haven't written for a while, so I thought I'd say something, even though I don't feel I have much to say. I've found, while writing a blog, that it's sometimes difficult to try to reconcile three things I think are essential to a good blog post: a topic I find interesting, a topic my audience might find interesting, and a topic I can write at significant length about. For your perusing pleasure. It's not long. You can read it in a few minutes. Labels: clark ashton smith. Child...

I Like Stuff / Stuff I Like. These are a few of my favorite things . . . Monday, June 2, 2008. Stuff I Like: That Happens at Disneyland Edition. 1 Lion King characters dancing with you. 2 Crazy hats are normal. 3 Buying a Minnie Mouse fanny pack seems like a logical decision. 4 Me peer-pressuring Kristi into asking a random fellow in a New Zealand sweatshirt if he likes to rock the party.
