The following is my fluff for my Blood Bowl team, which I will be playing in the next DFW Blood Bowl season...
I'm buying the models soon and will post pics as they are assembled and painted. :-)

Ready Player One Prepares for Paperback!
Ready Player One gets a very professionally rendered cover for the paperback release!
And it is gorgeous. The Stacks become the focus of the new cover, done so beautifully that Cline states, "I think I need a print of that illustration for my office."

Ready Player One (Pre-Review)
My husband and I had a few gift cards to Borders still lying around and with the closing of the store, we went online to redeem them before the site shut down, too. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline was the first snag. We had heard interviews and book praises on a few podcasts and we knew it would be one we couldn't pass up.
I started reading it last night. I am currently somewhere inside Level 0002, which is either Chapter 2 or Chapter 3, depending on your preference of the count (do you consider Level 0000 a chapter, Mr. Cline?). I love it. I know the book hasn't gotten into the meat of the story, but I still love it. Mr. Cline creates a world to which we can all relate, geeks, gamers, 'normals', everyone.
I won't say much more than this: The podcasts and interviews did not push this book's greatness enough. I am not finished with it yet, but I am still recommending it to everyone. Go, buy it now, and read along with me.

Geeky, Nerdy Video Playlist
There are gems scattered across the internet. Thanks to some very creative geeks and nerds, there are some wonderful spoof music videos and original content fan tribute songs. The following are just some of the examples of what you can find with the right searches on the right pages (much thanks to all the nerd news pages / podcasts for links to most of these). When I have time to do a more thorough search of my bookmarks and when/if I come across more, I will update this post. Enjoy!
