    Kevin Butler makes Move look a little cooler

    WCS: Dinosaur Comics

    Dinosaur Comics by Ryan North A comic about talking dinosaurs. Really. It can be geeky, nerdy, random, or just weird. Ryan North is very tall, and his height inherently scares me. He is also Canadian, which does not inherently scare me, it inherently intrigues me....

    Fable 3: All the pretty pictures

    Lionshead is playing nice and released 10 (!!!) new screens for Fable III. The game is shaping up to look awfully pretty, and is making me regret not having a television not capable of supporting HD, or a widescreen format.
