This week are four contestants with massive chips on their shoulders (some of them from other people).

Ask the Nilbog!
I thought I'd try out the old chestnut of inviting my readers to ask me questions. Any questions you'd like, about anything (I reserve the right to ignore anything I deem too personal and/or troll-eriffic). Want to know what I thought of X? Want to know what I've been doing with Y? Want to know how Z works and are too afraid to ask someone you actually know? Write them all down in the comments below!
I'll then gather them all up, and post as many answers as I can in a future post.
Sound like fun?

GM16: Size Matters Not/Forgotten Brothers Victors
Just when I thought nobody cared, BAM! Last-second influx!
The Victors for the first round of the preliminaries are...
Yoda handily won with 7 votes out of 10 (70%[duh]), while Mikey squeaked by with 4 votes out of 7 (57%).
Now, let's hang our heads as Geekdom Madness bids a final farewell to Gollum ("We hates it FOREVER!!") and Brooklyn ("Maybe we better not tell Goliath about this...").
Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!

Announcing Geekdom Madness 2016: The Tournement of Losers
Hello all! Sorry for the radio silence, a lot has been going on and I'll get to that in the coming weeks when I have the time.
In the meantime, starting THIS SUNDAY, the return of the ever-dwindling-in-popularity Geekdom Madness, only there's something a little different this time. Or rather, the same:
The combatants this year are all those who lost the preliminaries in the previous two years. It's their second chance to make it to the Elite Four and to have a champion crowned!
Those who lose the preliminaries a second time will be ineligible from any and all future Geekdom Madnesses!
The entries are familiar, but the stakes are higher. Prepare for Geekdom Madness 2016!!!

Odd Late Night Thought
How do movie monsters metabolize human clothing? The ones big enough to bite you in half and/or swallow you whole?
I mean, suspend your disbelief to imagine them existing, and that human meat could actually be palatable, but we're wearing clothing. That must taste awful and wreak havoc on the digestion.
Has anyone ever brought this up before? Is there any real-life basis for animals surviving eating clothing (such as sharks and constrictor snakes)?
Discuss.

Gauging Interest
Ever hear of Let's Plays?
You know, those YouTube videos people put out where they film themselves playing video games and reacting in real time?
I've watched plenty over the last few years, and I usually think to myself: "I'd like to get into that."
However, while I have a video camera and a selection of PC games to start with, my laptop does not have the space required for additional games or the software needed to capture game footage and edit videos. And I do not have the money for said software anyway, much less a new PC, nor will I for at least a year or two.
Before I start saving, I wanted to gauge interest from some of my readers here. If I were to branch off into the YouTube business, would I have any sort of built-in interest for that from any of you?
I imagine my niche would be mostly story-driven RPGs. You know, stuff that I could do a lot of voices for and take my viewers on a journey. I'd also do occasional highlights of some of the more short-form and casual games I play, and once in a while rant vlogs as an extension of my writing here. My tentpole ongoing series would be an extensive playthrough of World of Warcraft, with an emphasis on quest lore and just having a bit of fun rather than anything cold and tutorial. I would gladly consider requests from viewers for nearly any PC game as long as it's not exclusively First Person view (first person makes me dizzy, and I'm not interested if I can't turn it off), and I put in the labels other long series I would eventually do.
Now, again, IF this happens, it won't be for a VERY long time mostly due to money. I guess what I'm asking my readers here is if that money is worth saving up? Would any of you watch something like that from me?
