Fate Stay/Night, one more time

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Ubu Roi

It’s been a hot, boring summer. I quit playing Rift; just lost interest in it. Got back into Magic: the Money Gathering Pit again. (Well, WOTC gathers it, anyway), but I play no better than I ever did; still just … Continue reading →

It Was Supposed to Be a Lame Preview for a Lame Season

Posted on April 13, 2011 by Ubu Roi
