List of things I want to buy next month:

* One of the not-online "Devil's Panties" graphic novels
* The "Alternative Lifestyle" T-shirt from Something Positive
* The XXL-version of the Questionable Content Coffee of Doom T-shirt (scroll down) to replace my ratty nightshirt, which is falling apart.
* The Too Much Coffee Snooch T-shirt from Two Lumps.
* The "I'm Going to Start Wounding You Now" VG Cats T-shirt.
* And at least two donations to Sims 2 custom content sites.

There is method to my madness. I mean, surely y'all have noticed a bit of a theme here...

I've been reading Something Positive for years now. Questionable Content is now firmly on my all-time faves list, with Devil's Panties either ahead or behind it, depending on what I'm in the mood for. Two Lumps ... well, they're lower down on my comic-reading priority list, but Too Much Coffee Snooch is necessary. And Sims stuff ... well, I spend so much time collecting custom content that it's hard not to appreciate it.

The point is that all of these people have been providing me free entertainment for years and it's feeling like time I gave something back. So, I will go and buy things and provide them with profits. I've already purchased original art from Aeire (yes okay, two years ago), so that's one down already, but it'll be nice to actually give a little back. And then in late August, I can head over to Mac Hall's store (currently not responding; phooey). I'm thinking Littlest Elder God T-shirt...

In other news, it's too hot, I need sleep and I have new icons. When you think Silent Hill would be an improvement on your office, you should probably think about quitting, right?

Geekery: The Next Level

...Someone please save me. I'm starting to get curious about World of Warcraft.

Oh, don't blame me. Blame this guy off CbN, who introduced me to Bannable Offenses (that's how they spell it; don't blame me for that either. Consider me blameless here). It's like BofH meets Acts of Gord for the FF Online set. Stupid people bannings and a nearly Ellisian ranting style. Okay, a little lighter on the shitting onesself and the rampant drug abuse, but there's lots and lots of whiskey. It's like watching Davan from S*P GMing one of those MMORPGs.

And now, I'm curious. I mean really, really curious. It's not like I'm not already playing the good-for-the-$12-I-paid-years-ago-for-the-unlimited-deluxe-package Adventure Quest, which seems to be amateur WoW with fewer features. I just want to see what the fucking thing does.

I am becoming One Of Those People. SAVE MEEEEEEEEEE...

Or at least tell me the relative merits of FF, WoW and EverCrack. Either way.
