Dear Santa, thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I didn't wake you but... honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know its not cause at night there's voices so... please please can you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman, or... Back in a moment. Thank you Santa.

I can't decide it that's the wrong way or the right way to play the sax....
I guess it depends on where the smoke detectors are relative to where you are playing.

Civilization 3, 4, and 5, and all their major expansion packs, plus Sid Meier's Ace Patrol, Pirates, and Railroads* on Humble Bundle for $15. Or Civ 3 & 4, Ace Patrol and Railroads for just $1. Installs on Steam.
I like Civ 3 a lot; Civ 4 less a lot, and haven't had time to play Civ 5 yet. It's only been out a... Three and a half years...
Speaking of Sid Meier, his Alpha Centauri plus Alien Crossfire expansion, on GOG for $1.49.
Also on GOG, all the D&D games for $21.10 (in case you missed the last 37 sales). That's about 500 hours of game time there.
On Google Play, not a sale at all, but Final Fantasy VI is out for Android. This means that I now own Final Fantasy I, II, III, IV, V, VI (all on Android, a couple on my iPad, and III on my DS as well), VII, VIII (both on PC), X, X-2, (PS2), XI (PC), and XII (PS2). I'm only missing IX and the recent crappy ones.
Of those, I have finished X. I have gotten to the last boss in III. About half -way through X-2, but it's pretty silly. The rest, not so much.
* Not Railroad Tycoon.

Wakstarter
Ankama, the people behind Wakfu, are running a Kickstarter to dub the show into English and release it on Blu-ray. Naturally, they reached their goal in the first day and are fast approaching their third stretch goal ($200k), which will be a dubbed Blu-ray of season 2 and a release of the quote-manga-unquote on Comixology.
CAD $40 gets you the Blu-ray, a Wakstarter t-shirt, and two PDF artbooks on the making of the first season. Including shipping anywhere in the world, so that's a really good deal if you live in Australia.
The Blu-ray(s) will be region-free, and will also have the original French language track and subtitles in English, French, and Spanish. So even if the dub turns out to be like most dubs, you'll still have a legit hi-res copy of Wakfu to watch.
Also, it seems that when they hit the next stretch goal - about three more days at the current rate - the extra Blu-ray for season 2 will be included for no extra cost.
Update: Bumped, because now you get both seasons on two Blu-Rays for the same price (CAD $40 including worldwide shipping). The next stretch goal is for the dubbing of their mini-Wakfu episodes; the Kickstarter should reach that within a week.

This is all rather surreal because the animation was an extended teaser for an MMORPG, wasn't it?

Basically, yes. But although the MMORPG roots show clearly in the story, it's a lot of fun in its own right; I consider it one of the best western cartoons in the last ten years.

The funky html gizmos don't seem to be working at the jawa report. Stop me if I'm getting too technical
. They look like they work until you press 'post'. Then they all disappear. Even if you type in the (i)(/i)-type html code yourself.
Italics Bold strike
(just seeing if they work here)
It just occurred to me that it may be because I chose the black background for mypetjawa and there may just be something wrong with that setup. But I've already typed this much...

Hmmm. They work here like a charm. Oh well. Keep up the good work, my Australian friend!

Oh. I think I know why - people were abusing them at Ace's site and you're running the same comment engine as Ace (an earlier version than here).
I think I can fix that for you.

Your front page is time travelling. Seems to have lost a year and a half worth of posts. (Oddly enough the "recent comments" column is normal, which is how I found this post so I could comment on it.)

Ah, nown it's back to normal. A moment ago when I loaded it, the top post was from September 2012.

I will second Steven's bug report, only mine occurred a day or two ago, and in my case the TARDIS landed in early May, 2011. It resolved itself a few minutes later.

Thanks. Not entirely sure how that happens, but I'll look into it.

Strange happenings with the post editor, too. The "B" and "I" buttons formerly inserted "span style=..." tags, but now add inline "b" and "i", unless you open the html window and hit "apply." That will change the tags to "span". Also the "Indent" button, which formerly added 'span style="margin-left:20px" ' (incrementing by 20 each time you pushed it), now adds a layer of 'blockquote' tags instead. "Apply" doesn't fix this.
There's also a focus problem: When I do a block paste (CTRL-V) into the text window, focus jumps to the surrounding page, and I have to click back into the text to resume. (I see this same thing happens with the comment editor.)
And the old problem with curly left-double-quotes """ being saved as straight double-quotes is still present. Since I like to use double quotes in my TITLEs, this produces all sort of HTML confusion. (Workaround: use two singles "‘‘".)

Weird as it may sound, the editor hasn't changed. I'll test it with the latest version of Firefox and see if I can find out what's going on.

Pretty cool, although it's probably ridiculously expensive for something that moves at walking speed.

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: £1,665,000 431.072 km/h top speed £3862.46/ km/h
Lego hot rod: £75,000
30 km/h top speed £2500.00/ km/h
Note also that the latter is a prototype; presumably the production model would cost less. Repair parts for the latter are also cheaper; not too sure about the labor.
