Superbowl and Comics

• I assume everyone is going to be gorging themselves on beer and chips and watching the Superbowl this weekend.
  
  While I would normally be looking forward to this weekend in anticipation of the big game, and making friendly bets with friends based on my non-existent knowledge of sports ("50 bucks says that New England wins the coin toss..."), I am more worried about the new commercials that the company I work for is debuting. Good ad campaigns are so difficult to formulate. I just hope they aren't embarassingly bad.
  
  In other news, 30 second commercial spots during the Superbowl are up to $2.7M [yahoo.com].



• Recently, a friend pointed me out to a comic strip called The Order of the Stick [giantitp.com], which pokes fun at Dungeons and Dragons and all of the obscure consequences stemming from the way that the rules have been written.
  
  
  I have found it to be totally hilarious (being a Dungeons and Dragons player myself), and have started reading them from the beginning.
