Skittles and Stuff and Stuff.

So, I've come to the conclusion that I say "so" a lot when typing. With that minor flaw in my typing prowess aside, I just wanna type.

There's a World fo Darkness MMO in development. If there could be a faster way to make me abandon WoW, it hasn't been invented for a computer, (though god did a damned good job with his development of women, cuz they can definitely take me from it).

That will be an interesting, and rather decent, addition to my collection, in 2010 or so, when Whitewolf gets off their asses to actually put it together. I eagerly await the release of that one.
On another, unrelated note, that kind of just -bugs- me....Swords. Five years ago, even less, if you asked someone (who knew what it was), what a scimitar was, you were almost guarenteed to be told, "a long curved blade, with a back edge that curves outwards before dipping back in to a narrow base at the hilt"...This is the standard description of what a scimitar is.

When the hell did a scimitar stop being a sword, and start being a classification of swords that more rightly belongs in the category of "saber"???

Shamshir, Talwar, Pulwar, Nimcha, Kilij, Saif...All of these are curved, single edged blades, which are easily confused with a saber class weapon. Yet, to look them up on an engine like wikipedia, it comes out as "scimitar".

So, what then, praytell, is a fucking scimitar? None of the above weapons have the curved backblade that is the staple of what a scimitar is. None of the above are remotely what a scimitar should be.

I look at the covers of the drizzt books, written by RA Salvatore, and remember the older books, where he has duel scimitars (the proper kind) at his belt, or in his hands, and they have that lipped backblade before it ducks down to the hilt...Now I read the newer books, and every single one of them, have him with sabers. All I can think, is the artist looked up scimitar on flawed wikipedia, and came out that a saber would suffice for IcingDeath and Twinkle.

It makes me twitch. Now, this isn't the only thing that once upon a time was a singular item, and has now become a definition of a wide variety of things, however, it is the only one that irks me to the point of frustration.

So, aside from this...Waffles. That is all I have to say about that. Waffles and Gravy.

Oh...And Prince Caspian was awesome.

Peace out,
