You are SO going to die from all this cuteness of cute little animals eating!!!

D&D ancestry issues

Dear Jennifer,

Now that I've torn through the webcomic for Order of the Stick, my buddy Matt has turned me onto this new D&D related strip - "The DM of the Rings". Basically it takes players through the story of Lord of the Rings and points out all the ways that the game has evolved away from its original inspiration. At the bottom of the strips, the author discusses where the deviation occurred, or gives general dungeon master advice. Very entertaining, with a lot of breaking of the fourth wall. I am happy to have a new obsession. : )

And all with questionably-legal screenshots!!!

THE DM OF THE RINGS

It's like scrabble and tetris combined in one.

Dear Meredith:

I do love playing Scrabble. This online game takes it one notch up - letter tiles fall, and you need to use them to create words before they disappear.

Indiana Jones reviews of the future

Dear Jennifer,

College Humor has a list of reviews for future Indiana Jones movies. They will make you laugh, and sometimes make you feel uncomfortable as you realize these could be all too prophetic.

THE NEXT INDIANA JONES

Say what you want..

Dear Meredith:

Tired of all those ads and billboards and basically corporate advertising everywhere you look? Do what these people did - print out some huge cartoon dialogue bubbles and add your own stamp to things.

Fun with toys!

Dear Jennifer,

Here is a collection of well-photographed toys in adorable/hilarious/disturbing dioramas. If I knew what "Powerpig" stood for, I'd tell you the artist's name. Instead, we can only admire the art with ignorance. Thanks to Aaron for the find!

Look at Powerpig's pix!

For the ladies of light and ladies of darkness.

Dear Meredith:

This is a charming trailer, voiced by Neil Gaiman, for a book he wrote entitled Blueberry Girl, about unconventional girls. Apparently it was written for Tori Amos's daughter, and I think that you'll enjoy it too.

A reminder for the rest of us...

Dear Jennifer,

Have you ever thought that 'normal' dictionaries are just too unimaginative? Well "My First Dictionary" brings a dose of disturbing reality to its definitions that I am sure you will find hilarious. Thanks to Kemper for the find!!

MY FIRST DICTIONARY!

Dear Meredith:

Not to be too macabre, but this flickr set of scanned imaged from an old German book by bre pettis shows you different ways in which you can shock yourself to death. It is actually quite humorous, and if you find yourself in such a scenario... well, I'm sorry?

Another addictive webcomic!

Dear Jennifer,
I almost dropped off the Earth, I became so obsessed with the Order of the Stick webcomic (Ethan bought me the game for my birthday). But long before I loved OOTS, I was a big fan of Questionable Content. It's kind of like "Friends" as a webcomic, only younger, and with more geek pop culture. And it's got a semi-murderous robot character called Pintsize!!!

I heart Pintsize
