I have been waiting for this for years.

Inklewriter is quite a fun little toy to play with. It's a very simple, intuitive tool for writing choose your own adventure stories, but also gives you the ability to use markers, counters and paragraph run-ons to far outstrip any of the CYOA or Give Yourself Goosebumps books you may …

The Dark Knight Rises

I just saw some preview footage of it. Preview footage that lasted three hours.

First two episodes have been leaked. Go find them.

Jinora: Gran-Gran, I've been reading all about your old adventures. I've been dying to ask you: what happened to Zuko's mom?

Posted by F1ak3r on March 26, 2012, 2:58 p.m.

It's about time for another blog post. In an attempt to get back to my roots as a verbose git who posts mountains of tl;dr, I present you with this Cracked-style list of the top six things I hate seeing in amateur writing.

Today is the greatest day.

Do we have rules about putting stuff on the activity feed? I'm guessing not.
