I haven't seen the fight yet!
I usually record them and watch later.

The answers to the future lie in the past.

Nah, I'll pass.

Why are none of the other rules deputies awake when I want them to check my logic on something?
(Oh, yeah. Probably because I'm the only one that's nocturnal.)

That, and you haven't yet turned them into vampires.

Random thought--are there any movies about samurai fighting vampires?
If not, there should be.

How about Samurai Vampire Bikers from Hell?

With a name like that, how could it possibly be bad?

What I'd really like to see though, is one set in feudal Japan, with vampires preying on the peasants in the rice fields, using a vampire geisha to trap unwitting samurai, etc. I think it would be pretty awesome.

I think the question you should be asking is, are there any movies where vikings fight vampires? There are certainly album covers where vikings fight vampires, but has anyone taken the initiative to turn one of those into a movie? That's a thing that should exist.

Some versions of Beowulf are actually kind of close. It certainly captures the right atmosphere, but Grendel and his mother aren't vampires. The mother's close in some versions, though.

Shira: The Vampire Samurai
Shinku (manga comic)

It's somewhat comforting to know that whatever crazy idea I think of, someone else has already done it.

1. I found that Shinku comic online. It's actually pretty freaking sweet.

2. As I've stated already, I'm interested in getting back into Magic casually, primarily because I love the horror theme of the upcoming set. However, I wanted to read up on the rules to make sure that I'm up-to-date on them. The next time someone complains about the finer rules details of Heroclix being too complicated, I'm sending them to the Wizards of the Coast website.

The Golden Age Player's Guide for Heroclix is 137 pages, including the current wording for every power, ability, feat, alternate team ability, battlefield condition, and map rules. Without the current wordings, it only comes to 43 pages. If we add the 10 page Comprehensive Tournament Rules document and 24 page Core Rulebook, we're up to 171 pages with the current wordings, or 77 pages without them.

The equivalent Comprehensive Rules document for Magic is 189 pages, and contains NO information about errata or details about individual cards. That's over twice the length of the document for the same type of information.

3. I apologize for the multiple consecutive posts. I just had to get that out of my system.

All this has happened before, and it will happen again.

I bet the Ogres sing this when they kidnap or shun or whatever "That guy".

Slap, smack! Whip crack!
Smash, grab! Pinch, nab!
You go, my lad!
Ho, ho! my lad!

The black slap! the back slap!
The black slap! the back slap!
Down down to Ogre-town
Down down to Ogre-town
Down down to Ogre-town
You go, my lad!
Ho, ho! my lad!

Ogres quaff, and Ogres beat
Ogres laugh, and Ogres bleat
Slap Slap Slap Slap ho
Below, my lad!
Ho, ho! my lad!

The black slap! the back slap!
The black slap! the back slap!
Down down to Ogre-town
Down down to Ogre-town
Down down to Ogre-town
You go, my lad!
Ho, ho! my lad!
