I shot the Clerk.

by Jared Earle

It would appear that I am a misogynist. I know this may come as a surprise to some of you, but it is what it is.


This morning, Louise Mensch, MP for Corby and canny social media user, added some of the horrifying sexist abuse that passes for how to treat a woman on the internet to her favourites list so she could share it with the world.

SLA Industries – movie news

by Jared Earle

I wear many hats, as can possibly be seen by the diversity of posts here, but one of my longest-running involvements has been as a founder and partner of Nightfall Games. After a lot of effort, we have negotiated a movie deal for our Role-Playing Game SLA Industries through Ben Jackendoff with the excellent Romark Entertainment.

Feel free to ignore this experiment; you probably adblock the junk anyway. At least it’s not like tit-wank.com with NSFW adverts.

by Jared Earle

Recently, Netflix arrived in the UK and settled in as the choice for streaming, with a free month’s trial and incredible streaming quality even with unreliable bandwidth, like I have here in rural Scotland. However, one thing was clear and that was that the US has a better selection of documentaries and has TV shows (super high-brow quality, like Hoarders and Deadliest Warrior) that you can’t get over here. So, what was I to do?

Huh, looks like a lot of British TV

by Jared Earle

If you’re a user of the excellent Growl on Mac OS X, you probably got fed up with the update nagging and paid for it, removed it or tolerated it. Here’s how to remove the nagging, though.
