Mushroom Mushroom

I’m moving again this coming week, over a period of three non-consecutive days: Sunday, Tuesday and lastly, Saturday the 1st of November.

I’ll be glad when the move is over and I can get back to some semblance of normalcy. By which I mean, I’ll be able to run D&D again! I’ve been looking at the previews for the new set of D&D minis and how sad is it that this miniature is the one I’m most excited about:

Anyone who wants to help me move is welcome – especially if you have a vehicle!

We’ll be having a housewarming in the near future, which I think is essentially an excuse to show cartoons. We wanted to have a Hallowe’en-themed cartoon party but there just wasn’t time.

Oh, and speaking of mushrooms, here’s a photo I took recently:

Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 2 Releasing Next Wednesday
Hothead promises longer gameplay at a new, lower price.
By Kyle Stallock, 10/22/2008

PlayStation 3 users may just be getting Episode 1 of Penny Arcade Adventures today, but everyone else will be getting its sequel next week. Developer Hothead Games has announced (via Kotaku) that Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode Two will be available October 29 on the PC via the Greenhouse digital distribution service for $14.95 and Xbox LIVE Arcade for 1200 Microsoft Points ($14.99).

Hothead CEO Vlad Ceraldi said of the news, “With the cool gameplay additions we’ve made, including longer gameplay, completion tracking, and difficulty settings; extra Lovecraftian overtones in the world and music; and the perfect time of the year, everything just came together.”

Also included in the game is a song during the end credits by Canadian rock band The Darkest Hillside Thickets called “Some Things Man Was Not Meant to Know,” a track “dedicated to promoting the literature of H.P. Lovecraft.”

Hooray!
