| Monday Mar 29, 1999 | The Simpsons is such a huge cultural phenomenon that
people out there feel the need to
catalog it all. From the
stellar acting career of
Troy McClure to a compendium of Canadian

to a list of
Stanley
Kubrick references, it seems
that it's all being kept track of by someone.
Yes, dear reader, sleep easy with the knowledge that there's a
Simpsons list for everything,

| Sunday Mar 28, 1999 | One of the odder role-playing games in existence,
DragonRaid bills itself as a witnessing tool to help kids learn about Christ through
scripture memorization and massive railroading. Ironically, the game
