Call for Articles
« on: December 20, 2003, 05:40:34 AM »
We've only got 1 article on reserve right now.  And Fell's on a busniess trip (I guess that's what you'd call it) so he'll be gone a bit more.  So if you were procastanateing on submiting something (read me and Entropy) then now would be a good time.  Since this week is Christmass we'll probaly only need 2 more, I doubt we'll post somehting the 24th or 25th.

I'd like to post Christmas Eve, but Christmas Day will just be a "Happy Holidays" blurb or something. Maybe a picture of me going down a chimney laden with toys and sugarplums.

By the way, many thanks to Tage and my wife, who posted the articles in my absence.

Your other half posted a TWG article? Sounds interesting.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

I believe I posted my Review of Distraction, which hasn't been on the front page yet. Coming as soon as I can write them (and I'm not busy for a couple of days, so soon) should be another book review, a video game review, an RPG related non-review article, and (eventually, this one may take a while) a free game to make use of all those old AOL CDs, and the ones you tried burning but ended up as coasters.

Me and my friends, while doing a bit of very light drinking at my house, once tried to use them as frisbees. Problem is that they shatter when they hit walls and/or people, which is kinda annoying. And throwing a jagged half - a - cd at someone is pushing the boundry of "fun" a bit.

Me and my firend Steve would throw AOL CD's at each other like throwing stars and we'd try to swat them out of the air with my Katanas.  They look realy cool when they shatter into thousands of peices.

I go out the barbarian way about destroying them/other no longer working CDs. I just take them in my hands, bend, and wait until it breaks. One time some chuncks hit me in the face and cut me someplace on my arm. I forget where though.

I stick 'em in the mocrowave for about 8-10 seconds.  They put on a neat little light show.  And I have yet to blow up a microwave oven with one, if you're worried about trying it yourself.

Really?  You destroy AOL CD's?  I love those things--I always install them.

So I see you've missed the 6th. An article was not posted. I'm sure you have them, just someone forgot is all.
