((So this is the story I was convinced to write thanks to a lovely person, but I forgot their username and can’t find them! >n< Sorry love! Anyway, I’m awful at this but he’s the first part. This may take… 2 parts? 3? Haven’t finished it yet! Also it’s rather long, sorry about that!
Also not sure what to name it! If you come up with anything let me know!))
Nilesy ducked into the shelter of a small bunker as more primed TNT was fired into the battlefield, covering his ears as it exploded nearby and showered the bunker entrance with dirt and stone. His ears were ringing and his body ached from diving between bunkers created by previous explosions, and silently thanked the lord that no one had used their nukes yet.
this is really good. i’m glad you actually wrote it out, and it’s much better then what i was thinking. ^_^

I so want to know what Discworld is about.
it’s kind of hard to explain what Diskworld is in a small amount but it’s a growing world. with each book it grows more and more. I’ll try to explain it as best i can:
Terry Pratchett is an interesting write how he has it set up is that there are different main character the books focus on (like color of magic and interesting time focusing on rincewind while guards guards and men at arms focusing on the night watch) but the farther you go on in the series the more the world is advanced. if something changes in one book (like a newspaper is started like in the truth) then it will be around from that point on and the main character might come up in other books(like the person who runs the newspaper has a conversation with Vimes(head of the night watch) a few books later. also Vimes has a tendency to pop up in other book but then most of the books are in the main city of ankh-morpork which is where he is technically head of police.)

CONTEST TIME: Reblog this post for a chance to win Star Wars Kinect!
The rad dudes over at Brisk are hooking us up with a copy of Star Wars Kinect to give to one lucky reader. Not only that, but they’re throwing in a bottle of Brisk that includes a special M-Tag that can be scanned by your Kinect to unlock the game’s Anakin Podracing Mode.
To enter, just make sure you’re following Albotas on Tumblr, reblog this post, and that’s it! Multiple reblogs WILL NOT get you multiple entries, plus it’s just obnoxious, so don’t be that person. Oh, and it also helps if we have a way to contact you in case you win, so be sure to enable your Ask Box.
One lucky winner will be announced this Friday. Good luck, and may The Force be with you.
Also, Brisk is giving away a buttload of radness over on their Facebook page for the next few days, so go peep that business for more chances at getting free things.
“I know I should stop being so protective of Doug, he seems happy and perfectly safe, but it’s just he reminds me so much of my little brother (who died in a car crash a few years back and would have been 20 next month) that I can’t help it. I’m sorry for coming off as creepy.”
awwww that’s so sweet. you didn’t come off as creepy(at least not in this post) at all. ^_^

Oh my stars and garters, it’s the first Protofans giveaway!
Would you look at this insane pile of nerd loot that we are giving away! We bet you want it. We bet you want to know how it can be yours. It’s super simple! You need to have a Tumblr account (they’re free to create if you don’t have one). Then just reblog this entire post, and either make sure your ask box is open, or include your email address in your post (so we can contact you if you win). On April 4th, we’ll choose a winner randomly. You either need to be a resident of North America, or be willing to pay for your own shipping if you live elsewhere. Unless you’re going to PAX East, in which case we’ll give it to you in person! Here’s what’s in the bag.
A bunch of Protomen stuff, of course:
- A splinter-riffic drumstick destroyed by the Reanimator on stage
- A nearly-new Act II shirt, worn only by KILROY (size XL)
- An unused Light Up The Night lighter
- Two Protomen stickers and a lovely embroidered patch
Plus other awesome nerdy delights:
- This handmade knitted Mega Man helmet
- An awesome iPhone case that looks like a Gameboy Color
- A handmade pouch in the form of a nerdy robot
- A pair of totally rad skull socks from Diesel Sweeties
- Your very own LOLMagnetz from ThinkGeek
- A Magic d20 of Destiny
- Stickers from Diesel Sweeties, Epic Win Burlesque, Nerdapalooza, TCIMH, and lulinternet
And that’s not all:
- A bottle of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey whiskey, unless you are underage in which case we’ll drink it for you
- Your very own black fedora, for when you’re feeling a bit Turbo Lover
- A pair of these fancy fingerless motorcycle gloves
- This incredibly useful mini emergency kit
- A box of Girl Scout cookies (because everyone loves Girl Scout cookies)
- Fancy chocolate from Nashville
- Some candy (because candy)
So why are we giving away all this awesome stuff? You may remember the story of ShutUpAndJamza, either from our post about him or from his incredible thread on Reddit. We recently learned that he wanted to go to PAX East, but couldn’t afford it, and we basically decided screw that. The three of us who run Protofans pooled some money and pulled some strings, and got him a badge, a place to sleep, and some travel money. We felt weird asking for help from you guys, but if you’d like to chip in, you are free to do so. (Any extra money above what is spent on the PAX trip will go directly to ShutUpAndJamza to help with medical bills, etc.) You are not required to donate to win the prize pack, we just wanted to bring some more attention to this dude’s amazing story, and we hope that if you see him at PAX, you’ll give him the highest of fives.
