Interesting blog post. I do not get the Why we can't get a proper dark lord anymore part. We just can't get that perfect one anymore. Now we get near perfect and suckish ones.

That is a very interesting article. Its definitely something that we have discussed many times over here on the Downs.
And I have to say that I think 'great clomping foot of nerdism' has to be about the most hilarious things I've ever read. I wish I could write something to earn a comment like that.  Could I have my personal title changed to that?
