Any online commentary I have on the day has been trumped by xkcd’s demonstration that it is possible to defeat the internet. I will try again tomorrow.

Seriously, I go away for one day and this happens…

Brynn Yvaine, weighing in at a tank-like 9 lbs., 1 oz. zoned in to the hospital room with full HP.  Unlike her sister contemporary (who gave such fearsome battle cries), Brynn preferred to follow the path of the silent ninja.  All the rats in the surrounding five zones fled, fearing their imminent demise.

That cannot be good for the hardware.

Also, the KTR image at the top as I came to write this was that EQ2 frog. *shake fist*

Kendricke, friend of of Kill Ten Rats, guild leader, blogger, and Clockwork Gamer, is now an Associate Producer at Activision. Despite our most popular post of the year, we congratulate him. He is taking a break from the porn star life to see how the other side of the equation shapes up.

Let us know how that works out, especially since that’s the title I’d be aiming for if I ever try to enter the industry.

I keep citing Rainbows End as a vision of the near-future, and here is a big step towards it: an implementation of wearable computers using currently available technology. A bit of miniaturization, work on those contact lens monitors instead of projecting it, and we’re there. The video is very worth watching. (Yes, it is a tech demo, so I assume it took many takes and some careful positioning of how things were projected, but those are technical details that can be worked on, given that she refers to “ten years from now” rather than “buy my product now.”)

Thanks to Steven Jackson Games for the link.

WoW Insider has a link round-up post that includes our “Daily Quests.” So far, we have received pingbacks from four other sites that have stolen their content and reposted it word-for-word, including the opening words, “We here at WoW Insider…” Plus ads, of course. You don’t get to see those pingbacks, because I mark them as spam comments, but it strikes me that stealing posts with lots of links is the best thing for one of those sites. You get the stolen content to help your Google hits, then any site that leaves those pingbacks is giving you free links that further help your Google ranks.
