Chobits Demonstrates the most Fundamental Story Structure


Over the course of my college program thus far, I feel I've learned absolutely nothing, and if I wasn't on scholarship right now, I'd feel cheated out of lots of money.  Thank god I didn't actually pay for this crap.

However, the area of story structures was an awesome journey, exploring concepts you can't even find on the Internet!  Here, I'll teach you all a fundamental storytelling skill through the example of an awesome cartoon from Japan.

Because, hey, it's what I do.

WILL Talks GAMES: Playing on the Defense


I just finished playing through what would be the bulk of Knights of Pen and Paper (Which is a gosh-darn glorious retro RPG, if anyone wants to pick it up for a measly $10 here).  The expansive world is easily traversed, the die rolls are a simple but effective touch, the dialogue and cultural references are hilarious, and to top it off, the battles are challenging, in-depth takes on the turn-based standard established by mainstream RPGs.
