Cognition Collider!

So, what is Cognition Collider?
It's where I take ideas and slam them together so hard we find the mysterious Higgs Awesome.

What?
Do I need to repeat myself?

Okay... so what can we expect from Cognition Collider?
Expect enthusiastic and cool ideas concerning fiction in a wide variety of forms, ranging from rants on specific works, to musings on how to manipulate general tropes, to fully developing original ideas.

Can you be more specific?
I suppose I may as well.
I've got a lot of things in the early stages of planning, but here's some of what will probably be coming up:
Discussions, advice and ideas for running and playing various tabletop RPGs.
Video reviews and discussions of various RPGs.
Entertainment oriented video discussions of fiction, with a focus on possibilities (that is to say, what they didn't do).
Biff Badon at the Dawn of Time (an original podcast playing homage to the radio programs of old)
Short sketches and theater pieces.
Musings and manipulations of fiction and media in whatever medium I see appropriate at the time.
Various other entertaining titbits.

Wait... what was that last?
Various entertaining titbits.

Do you mean tidbits?
Oh, and did I mention the occasional rant about pet peeves, like the way that the nipple-fearing Puritans warped the English language to fit their own gutter-minded ignorance in the United States.

Alright... so, what are you going to start with?
I mean, we call a weathercock a weathervane, despite the fact that almost all of them are in the shape of a metal cock (or at least the silhouette). You have to wonder when it was we slipped out of the gutter and into the sewer if we can't even talk about a weathercock without getting offended, or giggling like schoolboys whose mistress has yet to realize a bird defaced her a few moments ago.

Are you British or something?
And I mean mistress as in teacher. It is what it means, after all. Well, not always, Missus is a shortening of Mistress, and—

Hey!
What?

Trying to ask questions here!
Oh, right, ask away.

And... now I forgot what I was saying...
Great! Welcome, one and all, to Cognition Colider!
