		<title>The American</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a scene in the classic thriller The Day of the Jackal where cool, English, sophisticated Edward Fox is using his custom-made rifle to shoot at melons in a overgrown field in the middle of France. He&#8217;s doing this, wearing a very natty ascot, because he&#8217;s a paid assassin, practicing for his planned hit on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebuilding the Network, A Manifesto</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The goal of the manifesto is simple; rebuild the network. Create a simple guide that, if used, if made popular, will result in a healthy and robust network of tabletop RPG players. We&#8217;ll get into what that means below, but let&#8217;s start with the manifesto. It&#8217;s simple. 1: A curious person is a new player [...]]]></description>

		<title>INCEPTION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The issue here isn&#8217;t spoilers. The issue is one of trust and here you just need to trust Chris Nolan. The midnight showings of Inception in Burbank were sold out. Why? It&#8217;s not a Batman movie. Leonardo DiCaprio can&#8217;t open a huge film now, probably never could. The trailer is AT BEST confusing. So why were people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Predators</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like the A-Team I feel I&#8217;m writing here for an audience who wonders what kind of movie this is, rather than because I have some insight burning to get out. Hopefully that&#8217;s a good enough reason. If you think Predators are neat, and by this I mean, the idea of Predators absent any specific instantiation [...]]]></description>

		<title>The A-Team</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With big-budget summer fare, I think often people look to reviewers for permission more than anything else. Sometimes, with movies everyone&#8217;s talking about like Avatar, we want permission not to go. We want someone to confirm our suspicion that the movie is awful so we feel better about not seeing it. Or, in the case of [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Novel, Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve posted the entire thing now, in PDF form, and at some point soon I hope to have a Kindle version available, but you might have to pay a couple of bucks for that one. http://www.mattcolville.com/download-priest/ I&#8217;ve had two long Squaremans posts percolating for a while, one on Mass Effect 2 and one on Harlan [...]]]></description>

		<title>Robin Hood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There was a point, about midway through this movie, watching Russel Crowe and Cate Blanchett acting together when I thought &#8220;This would be an excellent movie if it had nothing to do with Robin Hood.&#8221; The worst part of this movie, and it&#8217;s riddled with it like marbled fat through red meat, are the plot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Iron Man2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent a few cycles trying to figure out how to artfully plug my novel here in the opening of this review, but I gave up and wrote this sentence instead. Come by and check it out, let me know what you think! It&#8217;s unlikely, I think, that anyone who liked the first Iron Man [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farvel, Taarna the Valkyrie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m now officially a week behind in posting my fantasy novel to my other blog. I&#8217;ve got a little work to do on the next chapter and I delayed because I got distracted by&#8230;Nethack. When I interviewed at Pandemic Studios in 2003 they asked me what my favorite games were. At the time, my answer [...]]]></description>
