Azeroth Metroblog opens, Tarren Mill still under attack

Spoke to Sean Bonner over at Metroblogging about a new Azeroth blog that covers the haps around town in the world... of Warcraft.

Basically lotsa news about everyone's favorite Crabmeat recipes, how LF tanks still suxors, and rampant reports that high level rogues are still ganking newbs in Hillsbrad.

Actually, not really... interview round up from Sci Fi Wire here.

Hardcore Eulogy: Goodbye, friends

Local hardcore faves Where Eagles Dare are calling it quits, as you prolly know. Final show coverage, last interview here.

New Times Feature - Desole

Followed Phoenix alt-rock act Desole for a few months, including a trip to LA for a video shoot, for this New Times feature.

Interview: Dead Kennedys' Klaus Flouride talks 25th Anniversary of Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegies

Sat down with Geoff Lyall, aka Mr. Flouride, last week. He still hates Coors, won't make nice with Jello, talks real, real soft (my tape recorder input hated his mousey demeanor).

Pondering the 25th Anniversary of Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables makes me feel very old.

New Times interview here.

Who didn't see this one coming?

IGN + Gamespy = "the web's largest gaming and entertainment destination for young males"?

Hmmm. Gaming? OK, fine. Entertainment?

I, for one, can think of many destinations that young males frequent more than IGN or Gamespy. Cassamassina would agree.

What r u playing?

Oh Ion Storm, how do I love thee? Your new RPG, Deus Ex: Invisible War, comes out tomorrow, so right now, I love you long time.

Considering there's really only one other RPG on Xbox that's worth my time, and Steve Butts at IGN is already stamped it with a near-unicorn-level score in his review, consider me busy all December.

What r u playing?

Me? I'm all about Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, that and Beyond Good and Evil.

I'm not that far into it (created a character, the color choices are pretty weak. Can you say pale and paler?) and I'm still getting used to the non-Riven 3rd-person camera. I'm also getting used to no Atrus. I guess Yeesha is a pretty sweet guide.

We'll see.
