July 12, 2009: From Coffee to Checkmate in Five Steps.
(This may seem like a long trip, but this is just how my brain works sometimes.)
So, I'm channel-surfing the other day, and see Jon Stewart doing something goofy with a bunch of fake coffee products. This reminds me of those old coffee commercials starring Anthony Head, who, of course, played Sydney's contact on the short-lived -- but much loved -- VR.5. (He was also on some show about killing vampires.) He's the brother of Murray Head, who sang lead on "One Night In Bangkoc," from the concept album "Chess." Of course, I'm terrible at chess, so that reminded me of . . .
. . . Knightmare Chess 2, which is currently available. Some would say, "But I need the first set!" and they'd be wrong, wrong, wrong. KMC2 is a standalone game, adding just as much insanity to the venerable game of chess as its slightly older brother.
No matter if you're a beginner or a registered Master, Knightmare Chess is a great way to add some fun chaos to the traditional game. And as you may have guessed, I'm a big fan of chaos . . .

Warehouse 23 News: e23: You're Not Crazy. Probably.
See, there's this nice man talking in your head. Or maybe it's a not-nice woman. Or it could just be a sort of buzzy voice of indeterminate gender that doesn't seem either benevolent or malevolent. Or maybe you're just talking to yourself again. Then again, there's a chance that while you are talking to yourself, it isn't you who's talking. And if this is all getting very confusing, don't worry, the only voice you need to listen to right now is the one telling you to go over to e23 and buy a copy of Vox. That'll make everything better. Trust us.
