Re: Canadian Federal Election 2015
Personally, I'm ecstatic at the result, although part of that (I must admit) is wanting to see the longer election campaign blow up in the Conservatives' faces. But, the main part of it is that in the end, I was sick of the Harper-style politics. I was sick of the never-ending campaigning, and the s...

Re: As an American...
Speaking for at least one Canadian (me) and possibly many more: you are forgiven, of course.
You may come up and join us. You may drink the sacred maple syrup, and partake in the Running of the Polar Bears.
But procuring a dogsled and team for getting around up here is your own damn problem.

An open letter to the makers of South Park regarding Canada
Dear Matt and Trey, I have been a Canadian fan of your show since its first season, but I cannot remain silent after this most recent episode’s blatant misrepresentation of our great country and culture. First, Canada does not have a President. It has a Prime Minister, who is not elected but appoint...

Re: An idea...Let's Nope, the video game
One additional thought comes to mind... The idea is to just go with a bingo card, and let the Let's Nope Horror Bingo guide the way, but this may be just too perfect an ending..."Pretentious statement about humanity." So, the game ends with all of the human race destroyed except for the pl...

An idea...Let's Nope, the video game
Hi all! I had this weird little idea in the Let's Nope last night, and it's kind of grown since then. So, in the tradition of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (seriously, if you haven't seen it, look it up on YouTube), I would like to propose Let's Nope, the video game. Format - presented by its creator (...

Re: Trip to London
The Tower of London is amazing - but you'll want to budget at least an afternoon to see it. And, make sure you go through the White Tower...you don't want to miss the random dragon (assuming it is still there). St. Paul's Cathedral is also quite amazing, and can be done in under a couple of hours. T...

The mighty Brontosaurus deserves its own thread, where it can trample the grass and eat the leaves off the high trees!

Hi all! If you've been watching the streams, you've probably heard Alex talk about the trope of "Steve" a fair bit. Well, with my new, resurrected Garwulf's Corner now up on the Escapist, I took the trope and ran with it, adding a few of my own thoughts: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/art...
