Illuminated Site of the Week
April 18, 2008: Illuminated Site of the Week: Old Books Best To Read, Old Wine Best To Drink
The Secret Masters really have it in for you. Mind-altering drugs have undisciplined effects, torture is inefficient, and the orbital mind-control lasers sport a power bill that will make your head swim. (Ahem.) The solution? Nostalgia by the bucket. Retro Thing is one of those sites that grabs hold of you, fires your imagination, and refuses to let you go. Days later, you realize you forgot about the wedding and have in all likelihood been unemployed for over a week. Board games, computer consoles, books, movies, comics, fashions . . . they're not old, they're retro.
Ooo, Micronauts.

Warehouse 23 News: Good. Better. Bestiary.
Conan can't just punch pirates, bandits, soldiers, sorcerers, other barbarians, evil kings, traitors, cowards, the elderly, assassins, people who look at him funny, children, and mimes all the time. He needs to break up the monotony. Also, he's punched everyone, and they need time to recover before he comes back. So for an alternate outlet for that barbarianism, Conan: Bestiary of the Hyborian Age is your guide to other things to put between yourself and an angry man in a loincloth.
