WAAAAAAAAARGHH!
(OK, I’m mixing franchises here…)
Graham challenged all you closet LARPers to put together a D&D costume out of stuff around the house. The winner was Jovesh! Congratulations!
Jovesh the looter is shown stealing the Jade Dragon Statue from the High Emperor. He protects himself with his Scale Armor of Invisibility, which he thought would make him invisible, but just made the armor invisible. Wielding his Longsword of Bluntness, which does Bludgeoning damage. The Hat of Detection, which displays an eye when he is detected. As well as his Ring of Luck (only bad luck) and Goggles of Farseeing (he is a little nearsighted) he has a menagerie of items which he has collected over the his adventuring career.
The rest of the entries are below the cut.

Hey everybody, we are having some slight technical issues that we wanted to make you aware of.
The problem is that we are no longer receiving notifications from PayPal about any donations that have come in through Desert Bus.
We want to be perfectly clear: All donations are still being received by Child’s Play. You can still donate even while this issue is going on.
However, until this gets solved, the two major consequences will be:
- Our live donation total is not updating
- Donations you make will not show up in your account
Furthermore, because we are unable to log incoming donations, we will be holding off on all donation drives for the time being.

Anthology of Poetry
To Winston, the camera spider
by Cam
When you were first given this form, oh weaver
by the jealous god standing sentinel
at the intersection of craft and war;
your skill too precious, too beautiful
to be taken out of our firmament,
cleansed of the holy pride you could once feel
weaving filament over filament
your strong nerves over nerve on naked steel,
To arrive across our lens, our focus,
trying to catch something you intuit,
something precious, clutched at, that passes
you once recognized, silent and patient
We overcome our pride and revulsion
to feed your fragile, hungry compulsion

Moviebob will be joining us for a call-in interview on Wednesday, November 20th at 9pm PST.
Bob “MovieBob” Chipman is a film reviewer and the host of The Escapist features Escape to the Movies and the Big Picture. Bob has an unapologetic love of ‘80s and ‘early ‘90s video games and a hatred for bad movies with large fan-bases. MovieBob uses a review style that has been called “college-lit class style close reading”, which also incorporates overlaid imagery to support his points. He also has an admitted love of and weakness for TV Tropes.
In addition to his features for The Escapist, Bob also hosts The Adventures of Game OverThinker, a series that combines video game news and commentary with a comedic narrative. OverThinker follows a more story-driven analysis of gaming culture that blurs the lines between reality and video games, and led to the creation of a forth series, Overbytes, which focuses on culture and tropes.
Bob has also written a book titled “Super Mario Bros. 3: Brick-by-Brick”, in which he deconstructs the game in the form of a “novelized Let’s Play” while analyzing the cultural significance and history of the Mario Bros. franchise. Bob is also very active on his blog and on Twitter.
