A post in which I draw two points
and declare there to be a line. Before I
start, I just want to point out the humor tag on this post. Some people will miss that and not read the post in the spirit in which it was written. It is Friday. Relax and just chuckle at my folly. I have a ...

Nomu Stonemantle, a dwarf priest, in the post-cataclsym world
of Norrath that is the setting for EverQuest II. It was my primary game for a good 18 months and I have gone back to visit on a number of occasions. While I have not played for almost ...
