I have played Shadows over Camelot three times now. I am worried that the game is broken.

( Game-specific grousing... )

In other news, a blurb I wrote about Icehouse three years ago is on the http://wunderland.com front page this week, which explains why I got mail from one of the Gnostica designers this morning suggesting a new endgame variant to try. I got mail from a different Gnostica designer a couple of years ago with a different-again endgame the last time one noticed my page. I'll give it a whirl next time someone physically near me me wants to play that game. (It doesn't happen much.)

Two random things.

Samurai Champloo is a guilty pleasure and the first TiVo season pass I've added in recent memory. WP isn't very clear on what the title means, but it sounds like it can translate to "Samurai Remix", which would make sense.

I really like ZipCar. It occurred to me today that I've spent two months driving around other peoples' cars, without speaking to a single person about it at any time; all of my transactions, from signup to making reservations to paying my bill, have been over the Web. That's really great.

Rising gas prices might be very good or very bad for the company, depending. I hope it's the former, if it has to be either.
