The Games of Satan

It’s been a while since «we» were under attack, so maybe it’s time to revisit this thing. I mean, water under the bridge and all. It’s all settled down, now, so perhaps certain things can now be said without causing undue burning of books and howling and looting of the streets.

Because, well, yes, gamers really are satanic. Not all of them, of course, but a fair few.

Greit nok at den radikale individualismen i stoffet vi snakker om grenser mot en apologi for rein, kaklende «jeg vil ta over verden med mitt eget antarktiske fort og en privat hær» type ondskap. Men hold deg til ballen, Scalzi, ikke klipp ned naive bebrillede filosofispirer med et velrettet kneskålspark, selv om det er så mye lettere.

Stemmen fra ådalen

En blog om rollespil af Morten Greis. Fra Tryggevælde ådal en dyb klang. Elverpigernes dans. Røre i det hvide slør. Disen hyller landskabet. De gamle stammer krogede trolde.

This is my speaker’s corner where I can rant about popular culture, geeky and general stuff that amaze or irritate me. Many things do. Irritate me, that is.
