The Origin of ClydeFrog!

I am constantly having to tell people "No, I did not get my name from South Park!"

I came up with the name from an old children's safety program which I believe was actually called "The Clyde Frog Show"

I recently found a video on YouTube that has a small clip showing a scene or two from the show. There is no audio, but the video is priceless proof of the origins. I am fairly certain that this is where South Park got this from as well, but I have been using it for years before that show came around.

Sojourn (Forgotten Realms: Dark Elf Trilogy, #3; Legend of Drizzt, #3) Sojourn by R.A. Salvatore


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Pretty good so far. I feel bad for Drizzt for the situation he is in early on in the book,but I am happy about the intelligence of the adventuring party lead by Dove Falconhand (great name too!)

Exile (Forgotten Realms: Dark Elf Trilogy, #2; Legend of Drizzt, #2) Exile by R.A. Salvatore


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed Drizzt's travels and struggles as he escapes the tortured life of a Drow. The friends he meets along the way are developed nicely though I would have liked to see a better outcome for Clacker...

Homeland (Forgotten Realms: The Dark Elf Trilogy, #1; Legend of Drizzt, #1) Homeland by R.A. Salvatore


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a really fun book and a great start to a promising series. I had my doubts at first with all of the Drow politics (I hate politics), but the story is very character driven and I am really enjoying the series.

Been awhile...

Well, I really should try to post more/write more in this blog. I am so slack when it comes to this type of thing.

I have been playing through Baldur's Gate 2 for the 3rd time since I bought it back in 2000! I haven't completed it...only started it and given up or got too distracted by all of the other games that come out. With the talk of Dragon Age Origins coming out soon, I really wanted to go back and finally complete BG2. It has been a blast, and I have leveled my characters a lot more this time around prior to going into the later chapters. Right now I am working my way through the dark caverns, puzzles and quests of the Underdark. This is also pretty interesting to me since I am also reading the Drizzt series of books.
