Legend of the Five Rings -This is my contribution to Five Rings Publishing Group's Collectible Card Game (and now also Roleplaying Game), Legend of the Five Rings (L5R). I am an Imperial Ambassador and member of the L5R Demo Team. This game is seriously one of the most innovative and all around best games to hit this market in some time. It has a sweeping storyline that involves the players in determining its outcome. If you like CCGs, samurai, or just games in general, I can't recommend this game highly enough. While this page is targetted toward an audience already somewhat familiar with the game, I welcome anyone to come and have a look see.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay -Coming soon! This is, in my educated opinion, the best fantasy roleplaying game ever made. It's obscurity and high price tag have really hindered this game's popularity, however, its quality has kept it in existance for over a decade. Hogshead Publishing has taken over for Games Workshop in publishing this game, making it a better supported and less expensive product. If you liked AD&D, you'd love Warhammer. Dungeon Crawlers and Minmaxers need not apply. This game is for the player that was never satisfied with AD&D's lack of 'role' in roleplaying and I.C.E.'s over emphasis of 'master' for their game, Rolemaster.

Star Wars -Coming Someday! Who doesn't like Star Wars, the greatest trilogy of films ever made? I am a die hard fan of Lucas' masterpiece. Of course I have to have something on my site devoted to this epic saga. The only problem is that so many other people have the same idea. This is great, but I don't want to have a site that is just the same as everyother site out there. I don't want to contribute to oversaturating the net with the same Star Wars stuff, but I must have something; Star Wars is my favorite piece of fiction of all time, and I don't see that changing. So, until I come up with something, I will focus on other areas, where I can make a greater impact.

The Army of Darkness -Coming! Several years ago, one of my friends introduced me to the film 'Evil Dead 2'. I had been reluctant to see this campy, low budget horror flick for sometime, but I finally caved in and saw it. "Why didn't you show me this movie earlier???" was my first response. Every since then, I have been an avid fan. I am so glad that I was a fan of this movie before it's sequel, 'Army of Darkness' came out. I find that people who were familiar with Evil Dead 2 before Army of Darkness enjoyed it much more. It's just not the same to see them in reverse order. Any how, I came up with a saying that I used when ever we talked about the main character, 'Ash'. "Sucks to be Ash!" I would say. Well eventually, my friends started to use that saying for me whenever something crappy would happen in my life. It caught on and I eventually started using it for myself. No one ever actually called me Ash, but I thought it would make for a good screen name. Unfortunately, I didn't account for the other myriad of Ash's there are on the web.

Hard Boiled -Coming Eventually! Several years ago, my friend introduced me to Hong Kong action flicks. He had just discovered them, and wanted to get me into them as well. It took me a while, but eventually I discovered (he wasn't always a household name) John Woo. His film, Hard Boiled is one of my favorite action movies and is definately one the the best foreign film I have ever seen. This was to be his last film in Hong Kong before coming to the U.S.A. to continue his film carrier. A part of me always wishes that he would have stayed in Hong Kong; his American films just don't live up to his talent (damn Hollywood). Hard Boiled remains to this day, his finest achievement (though Face/Off was pretty good) and the film that all his others are based on. This site, when finished, will be about the Hong Kong action scene in general, not just about John Woo and Hard Boiled.

Cattle -Who doesn't like cows? They're just so cool. Seriously, this page isn't about cows but rather people who act like them. This page is devoted to stupid people across the world. I am constantly amazed by the stupid things that people do. Just when I think that I've seen everything, I realize that I'm not even close. This page is my chance to post my cynical views for the whole world to see.

Links -These are general links that don't have a specific place to be found in yet (like my L5R links on my L5R page). I figure you should probably check these links out at least once in most cases. You might want to skip the animated gifs if your not building a web page and just aren't into them. I tried to put the links in some sort of order according to value. So the ones closer to the top are more highly recommended than the ones near the bottom.
