The flash drive you’ve been waiting for!

Voltron!

Unfortunately, it’s $37 and only 2 GB. If it were larger or cheaper, I’d have to order one.

Poem of the Vagabond (彷徨人の詩)

by wfgodbold

Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice is the series’ first release on the PS3; unlike the soon-to-be-released Disgaea 4, it doesn’t have true HD sprites.

However, it does have hours and hours (and hours) of SRPG fun, and like all Disgaea games, can be broken wide open if you’re willing to put in the time it takes to level your characters and your items.

I haven’t played it, though the plot description on wikipedia starts off entertainingly enough:

The game takes place in a Netherworld school called the Evil Academy. In this demon school, a good student is one who engages in delinquent activities such as truancy, never showing up to class, or not doing homework. The student who participates the most in these kind of activities is known as the Honor Student, while demons who are admirable by human standards are known as delinquents.

The Poem of the Vagabond has a distinct Western feel; like something Ennio Morricone would have written.

As they sow, so shall they reap

by wfgodbold

Harass people who’ve never done you any harm, and don’t be surprised when the hammer gets dropped on you for violating Twitter’s TOS.

Not only can one of the grand high mucky-mucks in the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence not even be bothered to send more than a token form letter (created by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, no less) in response to an ATF request for comments on whether or not the agency should comply with or disregard FEDERAL LAW, but he got @CSGV suspended on Twitter for harassing certain people who disagree with him.

Update: Fixed the post title so that sow and reap weren’t backwards. I need to be more careful when writing while half-asleep.
