I’ll admit that not all the famous last words submitted to GameWyrd made sense – some, for example, included re-occuring characters; pretty hard for a so-claimed famous last words!

Famous Last Words 4/15: What tha hell? There’s no such thing as a Death Glyph…
Parts of Geek Native are from an older, now retired, site called GameWyrd. This is one such part!

I still think the internet would benefit from a music database/recommendation service for gamers and scenes. Lately sites like Last.fm and Spotify have helped though. Last.fm […]
The Friendly Face of Fear
Oh my gwad. This is an original article from 2001 back when I was exploring the possibility of writing editorial dialog for web sites. I paid no attention to the writing.
