(I wrote this shortly after coming back from my holidays in July. Not sure why I didn’t decide to post it, probably post-holiday blues). Back from holidays and I’m only a few days in work and it feels like an age. So Sunday night (which is actually a few weeks back now), last day before [...]
(Originally posted this on Google+, you can join me here, however I thought I’d flesh it out and post it on the blog. I suspect this will happen quite a bit). There was one thing I liked about the first part of the current series (series 6) of Doctor Who. It was a really little [...]
It doesn’t look like Emperor Zerg at all! I’m always disappointed by the shops in Eurodisney. I’m a geek and love good merchandise but most of the stuff seemed really tacky, great for the kids but not for us adult-kids. This year there seemed to be much more Star Wars stuff. There was even a [...]
Last Saturday we had to spend the day in the city. My daughter was doing her first (and probably her last, she doesn’t want to continue) ballet show and rehearsals were in the morning and the show itself after lunch. So, me, my wife and my three year old son wandered Dublin city for a [...]
Inspired by fictitious entry’s posts on maps and geomorphs and some of the maps done by Dyson Logos, I decided to try my hand at doing an RPG map. Here it is: There are lots of little mistakes, I should have left more space at the top to do the church more fully and I [...]
I don’t own a smartphone. I have no plans to get one either. I don’t own or carry any device that could be deemed to have decent internet (beside some nominal access on my mobile phone). This is odd because I invest so much time online, blogging, twittering, emailing, etc. Surely I’d want to be [...]
So last week, I added my blog (well the roleplaying related posts at least) and my lost heroes dev blog to “RPG Blog Alliance”. I saw a number of fellow bloggers/twitters joining up and thought I’d be in good company. But as of writing, it’s up to 131 members. That’s 131 blogs about roleplaying. 131 [...]
So this is the final rendering of the “Meave” image I asked people to vote on last week. Because there wasn’t a clear consensus, I just mixed the two, some in front, some in back. It’s not perfect. It’s still quite tilted to the right, but I’m happy with it. I also discovered my work [...]
Quick poll, which is better, the picture on the left or the right? If you can’t tell the difference, the one on the left has the crows behind the character while the one on the left in front. (If you can’t see the poll, visit thedeadone.net to vote) Now that I’ve got both images on [...]
Damnit! I wish I had read some spoilers because then I would have waited till the second episode next week. And then watched the two in a row. If you’re reading this, expect spoilers, you have been warned. Related Posts:Tardis Translation Error, a little reason why I love Doctor WhoThe value of presentation continuedFuck content, [...]
