On Creativity

June 8, 2010/0/0/

One of the great joys I derive from practicing medicine is the ability to be creative in terms of figuring out solutions for my patients. There are myriad different ways of approaching the multiple issues affecting hospitalized patients. And while we have evidence based standards of care which should be held with the highest regard, […]

On Sexuality and the Healing Blade

June 5, 2010/4/0/

A few days ago, we woke up to the sound of concern.  It seemed to be permeating from our comments board.  In particular, this one: You folks are businessfolks, right? You’re interested in selling as much stuff as possible, right? I read about Healingblade in The Scientist, immediately thought of how much fun it would […]

On Artistic License (or lack thereof)

June 2, 2010/2/0/

On the very same day that the AMA story about The Healing Blade hit, a second less than flattering story was also making its way around the intertubes – one that went a little bit like this: Dan Barrett, or @dangerawesome on twitter, brought it to our attention. A new gaming product ‘Healing Blade’ has a […]

This feline creature has a propensity for clawing attacks, going directly for its victims eyes (cunjunctivitis) and viscera (endocarditis and hepatitis). Rarely, the creatures bite can induce a feverish delerium (encephalitis).   Which Apothecary heroes seem to be able to overcome this fearsome creature?  Azithromycin, Doxycycline, Erythromycin and Ciprofloxacin.

We’ve made a ripple on the gentle wave of counter-culture that is Nerdcore HipHop. A few days ago we got a shoutout from BlakLotus, the bassist for one particular MCFrontalot, seen by many as the group of individuals that pioneered the Nerdcore movement. How epic is that?  Here’s a little bit of NCL trivia for […]

Apologies for our Quietness (Ninja Training will do that)

May 27, 2010/0/0/

It’s been a roller-coaster few weeks here at NCL. Between inquires from the media, bug squashing with the game, organizing the next print run and dealing with art issues (see an upcoming post) it has been a veritable grab-bag of Vulcans experiencing Pon-Farr.  Still, these, we believe, are good problems to have.  We also realize that really […]

Oh the candy coated goodness of the interwebs . . .

April 28, 2010/2/0/

Well, ever since this particular story dropped, and subsequently made it to twitter, reddit and boing-boing, our little corner of the meta-verse has been hopping of late. The outpouring of support, interest and general awesomesauce has been nothing other than awe-inspiring. A very Nerdcore thank you to you fellow gamers out there! Getting right down […]

ProtocolSnow is our new Hero.

Ok, so while tripping along the intertubes today, we heard about this dude who somehow managed to snag a lifetime ban from Apple, because he chose to grab a few iPads for his mates outside of the US. Hmmm, sounds a lot like the time I grabbed a few gen one playstations for friends of […]
