Hello. I’m Matt Cambion, and this is my personal and thoroughly unprofessional website: a space for science fantasy, heavy metal, Unix, and occasional forays into reality.

If you have a browser with a built-in feed reader, you can easily read these. Otherwise, you’ll need a feed reader. You might want to start with The Old Reader, which aims to be a replacement for the late, lamented Google Reader.
looking for a different starbreaker?
I use “starbreaker” as a handle and the title of my science fantasy project, but it’s been used elsewhere. Here’s a small sample. If you know of others please email me with links so I can add them to the list.

- a Japanese RPG for the PC-Engine console developed by RayForce in 1994 that looks like a rip-off of Phantasy Star

energy vampire
