Same alt text, is the alt text the same for everyone?

Same for me, only in Opera.

Paradox Interactive have done MetaMetaCritic, like Metacritic except reviewing the reviewers instead of games.

Oddly, I got the nanobot Lincoln one with IE 7.

Love the snarking at industry practices (social media tie-ins..."instant" DLC....hats). Also (and this is just a quick tangent, not trying to derail the thread)...do we know of any of the Gaslamp guys are forumites here? As many DF references as they piled into DoD, I'd almost have to think they are.

Regarding blizzard: the westfall path joke game actually sounds like a good idea.

Tor books have revealed the covers of the manga based on John Scalzi's fantastic fantasy series (itself announced last year).

Spoiler: Book two looks best. (click to show/hide)

An excerpt from the first book can be found here.

Spoiler: The opening (click to show/hide)

Night had come to the city of Skalandarharia, the sort of night with such a quality of black to it that it was as if black coal had been wrapped in blackest velvet, bathed in the purple-black ink of the demon squid Drindel and flung down a black well that descended toward the deepest, blackest crevasses of Drindelthengen, the netherworld ruled by Drindel, in which the sinful were punished, the black of which was so legendarily black that when the dreaded Drindelthengenflagen, the ravenous blind black badger trolls of Drindelthengen, would feast upon the uselessly dilated eyes of damned, the abandoned would cry out in joy as the Drindelthengenflagenmorden, the feared Black Spoons of the Drindelthengenflagen, pressed against their optic nerves, giving them one last sensation of light before the most absolute blackness fell upon them, made yet even blacker by the injury sustained from a falling lump of ink-bathed, velvet-wrapped coal.

With the night came a storm, the likes of which the eldest among the Skalandarharians would proclaim they had seen only once before, although none of them could agree which on which one time that was; some said it was like the fabled Scouring of Skalandarharia, in which the needle-sharp ice-rain flayed the skin from the unjust of the city, provided they were outside at the time, while sparing the just who had stayed indoors; others said it was very similar to the unforgettable Pounding of Skalandarharia, in which hailstones the size of melons destroyed the city’s melon harvest; still others compared it to the oft-commented-upon Moistening of Skalandarharia, in which the persistent humidity made everyone unbearably sticky for several weeks; at which point they were informed that this storm was really nothing like that at all, to which they replied perhaps not, but you had to admit that was a pretty damn miserable time.

Which is to say: It was a dark and stormy night.

Dresden Codak is redirecting to a weird video, but I don't know why he thought anyone would check the site.

Notch tweeted this today, saying that it's totally legit.
