My site (and thus, me) is taking part in TWO scavenger hunts for the end of May and the first week of June!

Zelda + Eerl = WIN
Zelda + Eerl = WIN. Or at least it does for me.
For those of you who missed my reading at Norwescon 40, I opened by reading from The Legend of Zelda manual (the original one from the NES days) from Eerl’s point of view (Class-M Exile). I had a lot of requests to record it for those who missed it, so I did.

TT: The Death of Sleep

What I Don’t Love about Th...

We checked in, had some lunch, played a little Magic the Gathering, and before...
