From Steve Tassie:

Steve Tassie is the designer of Grave Robbers from Outer Space and is an overall cool guy. He is also a stand up comic.

He recently sent me this message, and I choose to share it with you. You're welcome.

I have just been accepted into the Stand Up Sit Down Fight Fight Fight! competition taking place this summer at Sunnyside Pavillion (In Sunnyside Park, on the lakeshore at the bottom of High Park).

I will be performing on Sunday June 20th. The show runs from 6pm-9pm. One performer from my night will be chosen to go on to the finals on Labour Day weekend. The winner of the finals gets $5000.00 and a spot at the Canadian Comedy Awards in London ON.

Audience response will be a factor in the judges' decision, so if you've always been meaning to go see one of my shows, THIS IS THE ONE TO SEE!

Hope to see you there,

Steve Tassie

P.S. As always, please feel free to forward this to anyone who knows me or who is a fan of comedy. If you don't want to receive any more of my updates, let me know and I'll take you off my list.

Dammit, I miss Precedence

Sure, there was rot at the heart of it, and Lone was, well, a tool, but the B5 game was loads of teh funne.

I was browsing over Vorlon Space after Creighton sent me a deck idea (I must say, a Shadow Altruism deck sounds... interesting). It was probably my favourite CCG. It was designed to be multiplayer (a game could accommodate up to a dozen players fairly easily), it had interesting takes on the show, and had art that occasionally didn't suck.

Okay, THAT was a big issue. The card quality never got near to that of the Trek games (which, oddly enough, was a really crappy game).

That, and slower building decks had a chance (unless someone pulled something assaholic like, say, Tim). And the Social Tournament format was a lot of fun.

The advancement of characters was, admittedly, a bit tough, but it was still fun.

Ah, well. Old toys put away and all that.

While in Ottawa this weekend, I picked up Hulk Still Rules because, hey, $9 dvd?

And I got a Citizen letter from the '50s about professional wrestling transcribed by Snra, and I'll type it in here later.

And props to madmanofprague, who's one of the many people I game with I do not wish to maim.
