Wil Power
By A few people have put up comments over the past few days saying they found this site (and DM of the Rings in particular) via Wil Wheaton. This seemed odd to me, since I didn’t see any posts linking here over at his site. If it was just one person I’d assume a misunderstanding, but several people have said this now and I’m getting curious. There’s nothing linking me on his Typepad blog. There isn’t even anything coming from his old site.
My ego has a ravenous appetite, and its great hungry maw can only be sated by a constant supply of self-esteem affirming links. The thought that I may have missed one will soon begin eating away at me. From the inside.
More seriously: Can anyone shed some light on this? What did I miss?
Tenpenny Tower
Bethesda felt the need to jam a morality system into Fallout 3, and they blew it. Good and evil make no sense and the moral compass points sideways.
If Star Wars Was Made in 2006?
Imagine if the original Star Wars hadn't appeared in the 1970's, but instead was pitched to studios in 2006. How would that turn out?
Seven Springs
The true story of three strange days in 1989, when the last months of my adolescence ran out and the first few sparks of adulthood appeared.
A Lack of Vision and Leadership
People fault EA for being greedy, but their real sin is just how terrible they are at it.
What Does a Robot Want?
No, self-aware robots aren't going to turn on us, Skynet-style. Not unless we designed them to.
Blistering Stupidity of Fallout 3
Yeah, this game is a classic. But the story is idiotic, incoherent, thematically confused, and patronizing.
There may be something over at the site that was spun off of Wil Weaton’s Soapbox message board: Teh Soapbox
Wil’s column at SuicideGirls recently featured a story of his visit to Gen Con, and I posted a link to your comic in the comments below. ^_^
Hi Shamus, it was in the comments section following a recent post on SuicideGirls – http://suicidegirls.com/news/geek/19269/ — right about the middle of the first page of comments… (Wil linked from his blog to the full post here
Damn you and you three minute lead while I had to look up the link, Lycoris! ;-) (But thanks for the pointer, as I too am one of the newbies here as a result)
Mystery solved. I try to avoid NSFW links. Thanks for clearing this up.
Also: Thanks for the mention, Lycoris. The more the merrier. :)
What stuns me is how many people have come here as a result of a COMMENT on that Suicide Girls article… which I only found through a link from /.
Imagine if he had mentioned you directly… or if your site had been on /.’s front page.
Lastly… FWIW Suicide Girls does have a safe for work section of their site where articles like this are regularly posted.
Yeah, I was surprised too.
I followed a link here from a friend’s Live Journal. Judging from the comments on his entry, so did quite a few other people. There’s also a link on the Shadows of Amber message board here, but it was made very recently.
Found your site (DM of the Rings in particular) from a comment on the Hirst Arts website.
Good work.
Actually I just recently found the site via a link on totalfark.com. You didn’t make the main page, but I found it nonetheless. They were specifically linking to the DM of the Rings.
Doesn’t your webserver log incoming traffic? You should be able to tell pretty easily where traffic is being redirected from.
I also got it from the SFW newsfeed from Suicide Girls – Wil is nice enough to let everyone know when the wire is SFW or NSFW. Don’t be surprised if he does pick it up though, being the gamer he is!
Count me as one of the n00bs who came here via Lycoris’ comment on Wil’s article on Suicide Girls.
Well, you link-hungry monster, I have posted a link to your site onto our guild site The Demon Knights
