My son had his first "Happy Meal"

They grow up so fast...

Just watching some Buffy reruns right now, and seriously, that Kendra chick was the most wooden character ever shown on this show (apart from the actual wooden dummy from the first season, of course). My wife is a real big fan of Spike, she really hates the way he just "dies" at the end of the series. Giles has to be the strongest nerd to ever live. I also really like that daemon who hangs out with them during the sixth and seventh season.

One other thing: how does a zero like Xander get chicks like Cordelia and Anya? And which would not want to have a girl as eager as Anya?

I think I'd like to read the Buffy Season 8 comic book series. I'd like to know what the continuation of Buffyverse is like. I hear Xander looks pretty coll drawn with his eye-patch. (Ah, the Nerf Herder theme is playing right now.) Grrr Arghhh!

Anyway, enough today about my true "love". Tomorrow is Mother's Day, where guilt is queen. (Just kidding). Hug your mom if you can, she probably put up with a lot of crap bringing you up.
And if you can, but your flowers today before the price doubles tomorrow.

Nuts and bolts.

I have just finished my first complete read-through of the 4th edition Player's Handbook of D&D. This would for the most part make for an interesting game if it had any other name than D&D. This system changed too much of the guts of the game that had managed to be the best in the world for 34 years before this change. There were some interesting changes I would use as optional rules (if any of my current campaigns were at the beginning). For example I like the change with regards to critical hits, and combat seems simpler than 3,5. I just don't like the new spell system; it seems that the first-level wizards actually have the power to survive to level 2 without much effort from the other characters.

I notice that a lot of these changes were used in the Star Wars RPG Saga Edition. The details differ naturally, as one is fantasy based and the other is sci-fi, but the concept (same company) is apparent. At least in Star Wars, you can play an Ewok Jedi who can pilot an X-Wing (Yub-yub!)

(I forgot that John Ritter was on Buffy.)

Other news

After speaking with an employee from Games Workshop (Bayshore), I have managed to learn that the new edition of Warhammer (8th) Rulebook is about 200 pages larger than the current edition. I hope that's all optional rules and photos of bonhommes because I am just starting to get the hang of the current rulebook (2006) after four years. At least they aren't changing the Army lists yet; I haven't had a chance to play with my Vampire Counts yet.

Last note of the day

My son really loves grilled cheese.

Thank you, and good night.
