    What DVD to watch first Tuesday?

    I'll probably watch RotK first, then Bubba Ho-Tep. Underworld is garbage.

    So is anyone planning a LOTR marathon this Tuesday?

    You know, I kind of regret getting the extended version of TTT. I've had it since Christmas, and I still haven't watched it. The fact is, there's rarely an evening when I want to sit in front of the TV for 4+ hours. Even 3 hours is pushing it, which is why I've only watched the original...

    So is anyone planning a LOTR marathon this Tuesday?

    That's just too much movie and too little activity. If I'm going to sit somewhere for that many hours straight, I'd better be getting paid for it. At best I'd hold a 4 hour mini-marathon and watch one of the movies, though that would probably involve several breaks. Of course, I still haven't...

    Rating - Perfect 10 Movies

    Freddy Got Fingered Timeline The Matrix Reloaded From Dusk Till Dawn 3 That's a perfect 10 on the suckage scale, of course. ;)

    In what order do you rank the LOTR films?

    So, is Return of the King worth watching? I saw the first two, but never bothered to go see the last one.

    OK, 'fess up - Did you watch the final "Friends?"

    I'm already one of those old people and I'm only 26. About the only thing I watch now is Chappelle's Show. I miss Cheers, Seinfeld, John Doe, Frasier (back when it was good), Futurama, The Critic, The Family Guy, and a few others. Personally, I don't like buying the DVDs because I have seen...

    Wachowski brothers..I mean bother and sister

    Who's next? My money's on George Lucas. He seems to enjoy going back and changing things.

    OK, 'fess up - Did you watch the final "Friends?"

    No. The last time I saw an episode was in early 2001 when I was living in Brazil and I decided to try and watch some TV one night. The only thing on that was in English (with Portuguese subtitles) at that particular time was Friends. About halfway through the show I decided to walk down the...

    The State of ENWorld (too important to go to Meta)

    Well, one example is the arcade forum that I now frequent. These are people who are creating or restoring arcade cabinets, and they come in exchanging tips, showing off what they've made, etc. In a way it's really similar to here in that you have the people who create (publishers), the people...

    The State of ENWorld (too important to go to Meta)

    Personally, though nobody probably noticed because I was never a real frequent poster to begin with, I stopped coming to the boards about oh, six months ago, and only recently came back, though it's looking more and more like a temporary visit. I'm not really a publisher, as I just made one...

    Wizard's First Rule

    I wouldn't feel misled if the ice-lances held some special significance in the book, like the sword does in this series. I don't automatically assume that because a book has an object in the title, albeit a sharp one, someone's going to be swinging it around constantly.

    Drinking While Gaming? Warning -- mature content (I hope)

    My group is more about the socializing, beer, and pizza than the game itself. It is more of an excuse to get together and hang out than to play a game. We generally stick to beer rather than hard liquor though, as most people have to drive, and we get a little crazy on the JD.

    Wizard's First Rule

    Hmmm... Maybe that's by design. I like the fact that he doesn't spoil my view of how things look by describing them in excrutiating detail. I like that he leaves some things to the imagination, like what Richard or the sword look like. I also like that he doesn't describe every fight in a...

    Book recommendations needed

    Maybe you should look at the link I provided. It is all about how awful everyone on here thinks WFR/Terry Goodkind is. I was being sarcastic.

    Book recommendations needed

    For light fantasy, I'd like to suggest Wizard's First Rule. See this thread for more info about the book and subsequent series.

    Matrix Revolutions - just watched it again

    Personally, I'm not much of a fan of the series. I was lukewarm on the first one. Interesting concept, kind of pretty, but I don't like sci-fi, so it wasn't my cup of tea. I hate Keanu too, as I can only picture Bill & Ted when I see him. I went to the second movie on a whim and found it to...

    Wizard's First Rule

    Maybe we can petition Mr. Goodkind to add in some half-drow rangers. That would make it good, right?

    Wizard's First Rule

    Thanks for your input! I'll keep that in mind in my future readings. When I say skip, I really mean skim anyway. Now I remember why I haven't posted in months...

    Are there RPG books with just adventure plots?

    JH NameGen Gold has an adventure hook generator built in. Here's some sample output: - Lately, a local celebrity has been behaving quite strangely. - Gargoyles were spotted in the town hall. - A group of zombies have approached a friendly shopkeeper, requesting asylum. - You stumble across a...

    Wizard's First Rule

    Personally, I liked the series up until the last couple of books. The S&M stuff is where I start skipping pages, but other than that I have enjoyed reading the books.
