You may start complaining...now. I'd be right in there with you, except my computer is so old Youtube is basically a slideshow.

EDIT: Relevant Penny Arcade linkage.

EDIT 2: My theory is that the big reveal is that Appa is the real Avatar, and he's in love with Aang. What a tweest!

5:46PM - Ohio or bust!

Today marks the first day of Origins! It's that time of year where gamers of all stripes converge on Ohio and play until they don't remember how to make a decision without rolling on a random chart.

This is my first year going, but I'm sure some of you have prior experience with Origins or similar gaming cons. Share your best stories! What games do you recomend trying out? Is anyone else headed out to the wilds of Columbus this weekend?

(I'll be posting con reports on twitter, starting with the ride out tonight; I'm Gambling4Kitten if anyone wants to follow my sure to be zany adventures.:)

7:03PM - I liked it better when it was called Big Wolf on Campus

MTV is turning Teen Wolf into a TV series.

MTV is looking into adapting the 1980s camp classic Teen Wolf into a television series, instead of (or as well as) the much-mooted film. Normally, this would be met with a loud and resounding "please no," but the writers being name-checked to work on the series have piqued our interest.

Jeff Davis ("Criminal Minds") is the writer, with Marty Adelstein ("Prison Break") and Rene Echevarria ("Castle") executive producing.

...(the series will have a) greater emphasis on romance, horror and werewolf mythology.
