Deviant’s Apprciation Day - 22nd @ devART
It’s the 22nd, and my speculations were wrong. Today is about the deviants of DA! Without us, without our work and postings, deviantART would not be what it is today. (more…)

Trihan, over at GamingW, scripted an IRC bot for the text game Werewolf. If you already have a client, jump over to irc.whahay.net and join #werewolf (or even stop by #akamike).
