The Week in Review - Blades, Blazes and Super Creepy Booty Calls

In this week's edition, a (digital) house is accidentally burnt down, and a much-loved novelist crafts a sword.

"See For Yourself, It's Not Disrespectful!"

It's not easy being a knight: Swords are getting harder and harder to come by, and you can't very well be a knight without a blade. That's why Discworld creator Terry Pratchett decided to make his own. Using iron ore he found on his property, as well as pieces of meteoric iron, he forged several iron bars and then helped a blacksmith craft the sword itself. That's taking your knighthood seriously.

I'm starting to feel offended that game developers think that I'll be more attracted to the idea of playing a character that looks more like a hipster douce and less like a physically capable person. Why can't my main characters be healthy and reasonable looking instead of an over-roided closet homosexual macho powerhouse or some lame fashion disaster hipster clown-shoe?

Where does 50 Cent fit in that continuum?

This Jenkins lady "enticed" a 16-year-old WoW player into having sex? I really doubt he needed much in the way of convincing. Besides, it wasn't him who drove across country. Who was the "enticed" one again?
