Fall term update!
Markster posted in Uncategorized on September 7th, 2007

Hey everybody!

Fall term is nearly upon us and we need to figure out what the heck we’re doing this term.

Expect a meeting to happen shortly into the coming week, TBD (Tuesday?). It will be posted up here, and a notice will be sent out via the mailing list.

Also:
I have just discovered Zero Punctuation, a recently new video-column for The Escapist online magazine.

It is made of pure unfiltered goodness. I suggest starting with the Console Wars, and continuing from there. When you’re done, you can search YouTube for “fullyramblomatic” for a couple more, done before he was hired on by The Escapist.
