Have I done a Gratuitous Icon Post before? Doubt it, my l337 skillz don’t really actually stretch to good icons. But I can crop and do borders though. Anyway…
linked to the IMDB page for Hogfather. Sky One, Xmas day. Guess I’d better visit my parents at Christmas then. He also linked to the filmmakers gallery of promo shots. Oh yeah baby. I mean, I know that fancying the actress playing Susan is sorta, y’know, predictable? But, well, d’you blame me? Anyone know if Michelle Dockery can actually act? The rest of the cast is good (David Jason as Albert? Cool!), and Death looks very cool.
Oh, I’m about 2/3rds of the way through Wintersmith. Wee Free Men was good but didn’t grab, Hat Full of Sky was better, and Wintersmith is very good. I guess the whole written for the audience thing kicks in a little with the first one? Anyway, how does it go? Oh yeah. Nae King, nae Quinn, nae Laird, nae master…
Also? gives us Mark Harrison’s The Travellers, and for those of you who like their browsing uninterrupted by crappy pop ups that kill options like bookmarking, this link is the start of the actual strip. Why do webdesigners still think that forcing new windows to read their content is in any way a good idea?

OK, for all the LARPers on my f-list (and there are far too many of oyu these days), linked to Ruthless Reviews. I think I agree with the writer on #10, and cannot fault his choice of winner. Question though; what is it with USian LARPers and those bloody stupid big swords? At least UK LARPers use swords that look vaguely realistic and have had some effort into realism (if not scale) put into them. I’ve alsmot bought a latex larp sword once, just because it was cool. Ah well.
points to this set of style guidelines for referring to the North of England. I mean, I’ve been up north a few times in my life, just a small number of visits gives me a better idea than any amount of mainstream media coverage. Ah well. It’s not like the Westcountry gets much better.
While trawling around looking for some stuff, I found the site of artist rkpost. He did some very good DT art, and some stuff for a few other games. I may work on a Sheriff Syn icon at some point, she always did look cool. ? The thumbnails are already cropped to size, and some are very well done.
Lastly? linked to Teddy Babes (probably not safe for work. Or, indeed, sanity, but mine left years ago). Can we here an eww? Yup, thought so. Especially impressive scary is Sonya, Vampire Mistress of the Night. OMFG.
Anyway, am possibly going to write something about how cool the idea of OpenID is generally, and ClaimID as a specific, but in the meantime, an example: and are both me. The latter is the one I’m likely to actually use on occasions, the basic idea is very sound. Very scary? OpenID accounts logged into LJ can upload Userpics. Um, why?
