Oh Lev, you have the best flamewars. I'm gonna be in Melbourne some time this year, if you're around I'd like to meet up with you for a coffee or something - then I can engage you in a stupid argument, solely for the pleasure of having you rip it to pieces in person.

That pundit guy is a joke. He 'argues' like a teenager with an attitude problem. That whole 'swine' thing too, such a transparent gimmick. I do wish that the world was separated into two groups, those who thought I was cool and awesome; and Swine. It would make things so much easier.

I'm now living with a roleplayer. I've had friends who are into RP but never had a chance to give it a go. I'm trying to organise a game with my flatmate and another friend, possibly based in the Shadowrun world. Do you have any hints and tips for a noob looking to start his first game?
