Man, I can't take it anymore. Sign me up for sexy Mr. Cohen's Stargate game. I would sign up for Synnibarr too, but I've got stuff to do later that day. Yeah. That's the ticket! Stuff. I would try and make breakfast too, but gamer eating habits frighten the hell outta me. -Dannelly!

Heyas. Right now I have a 500mhz Pentium III Gateway computer, and I'm looking for some good PC games to splurge on. I dig titles like Baldur's Gate, Half-Life, and Tachyon: The Fringe. The only type of game I can't stand is RTS. Would anyone be so kind as to give me some advice?

John Cusack, Better Off Dead Here's mine: "You are using Benetti's defence against me, ah?" "I thought it fitting considering the rocky terrain."

I just finished Battle Royale by Koushun Takami last night. I have to strongly recommend it. I just started the Fitzgerald translation of the Odyssey today. It looks to be solidly lyrical. I want to pick up Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett soon. Just waiting for my next paycheck. Right after I...

Might I suggest "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess? The main character, Alex de Large, is decidedly anti-heroic.

I don't want to get political, but something has irked me. As one of the 100,000 who protested in Washington, I feel I must attest to the vigor of the modern day anti-war movement. We exist, but the media does seem to ignore us. But the Hulk dude does seem nuts... or maybe he's the only sane...

Hi Sepulchrave! I am a long time fan of this particular story hour. As I have moved closer to catching up all the way with the story, I have noticed something. Are you familiar with the Albigensian (sp?) heresy that occurred in what is now southern France in the 1200's? I am no expert on the...

Congrats on getting out buddy, I've still got a year to go. Run like hell and don't turn back!

How many roleplaying games can claim to have been created by a mulleted gun nut musician and "ring with authenticity?" I know of only one: Synnibar! ...I keep scrubbing but I still feel soooo dirty.... -Fatality #5 "Dan"

Seven Samurai is a must.... For sheer schlock entertainment, I think Screamers is an appropriate choice. Let's see... How about some silent cinema? Nosferatu is an excellent start, with Fritz Lang's Metropolis and the Cabinet of Caligari to round things out. On the topic of Fritz Lang, I would...

Tad Williams I think I'll choose a single finished series Memory, Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams.

How about the Toshiro Mifune character, Sanjuro, from the Akira Kurosawa films Yojimbo and Sanjuro ? He was from the 1870s, so he might be a graybeard. For a villain they could use the Whateley patriarch from Lovecraft's Dunwich Horror . He would be a youthful occultist. So kewl...

Matty, Please sign me up for Synnibar. Sounds like a good time. -Dan

I think the world needs Aquaman. Or possibly The Question... ...Or a Batman movie based on Batman: Year One... ...Or some puppies and fewer hoboes...

Fair enough. I'm not in critical thinking mode.
