So, yeah, I haven’t updated in a little bit… There is a reason!
I have my copy of Imperial Histories, the latest Legend of the Five Rings source book; and I’m scouring every page as I prepare to review it. I am somewhat nervous about this one though, it’s probably going to end up being my most in depth review yet, being just about one source book.
So, I would like some feedback. Do you like the length of my reviews, would you like them longer? Shorter? More pictures? Less pictures? More formal style? Not sure I can get a less formal style…
But yes, feedback plz. Question mark to let you guys answer this?
It just occured to me that some of you might not know Mongrels. Here’s a taster. WATCH IT!
Oh, unless you’re under 18. Then don’t watch it!
It is with a certain level of resignation that I have realised that no matter how briefly I go onto youtube for, even if it’s for constructive purposes like looking up tutorials on small matters that apparently everyone else knows how to do, I always end up looking at clips from Mongrels.
And that our L5R group matches up to the personalities there (as well as being the A-Team). I’m Kali. At least I say Brap ironically, right…?
I know that we all love this site as an expression of our individuality, but the fact of the matter is, we are under attack. And what we do is distracting us from that fact.
The American government now has all the records from Megaupload’s servers. Do you know…
What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well.
Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.”
What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

BLACK MARCH Thursday, March 1st 2012 to Saturday 31st March 2012
With the continuing campaigns for Internet-censoring litigation such as SOPA and PIPA, and the closure of sites such as Megaupload under allegations of ‘piracy’ and ‘conspiracy’ the time has come to take a stand against music, film and media companies’ lobbyists.
The only way is to hit them where it truly hurts. Their profit margins.
March 2012 is the end of the 1st quarter in economic reports worldwide.
Do not buy a single record. Do not download a single song, legally or illegally. Do not go to see a single film in cinemas, or download a copy, Do not buy a DVD in the stores. Do not buy a videogame. Do not buy a single book or magazine.
Wait the 4 weeks to buy them in April: see the film later, etc. Holding out for just 4 weeks, maximum, will leave a gaping hole in media and entertainment companies’ profits for the 1st quarter, an economic hit which will in turn be observed by governments worldwide as stocks and shares will blip from a large enough loss of incomes. This action can give a statement of intent:
”We will not tolerate the Media Industries’ lobbying for legistation which will censor the internet.”
I’m not an educated or political person. My friends know this about me. I don’t have strong opinions about this sort of thing.
I feel that this is a much better way to protest than blacking out your tumblr for a day.
We’ll see about this. I may be able to wait 9 days to see Hunger Games.
Home of thoughts, reviews, writing, the occasional attempts of art and a lot of internet culture.
This tumblr belongs to a 23 year old gamer geek type person who has worked in a gaming store and now thinks that she knows everything and you should read her opinions.
