Re: Re: "Catch Me If You Can" This time he's got a Boston accent! It's different I tell you!! In all seriousness, it was a good movie. I had never heard of it when my fiancee announced we were going to see it, but I was pleasantly surprised. -Ryan Edit: That's fiancee with two e's. I am...

January 7, officially. Especially the events at the end of the book, which could have major ramifications. To get us off the subject of Egwene, here's some things I'd love to see: 1) Progress regarding the White Tower split. 2) Black Tower conflict (Logain's faction versus Taim's faction)...

No disagreement here. That's precisely why I've never quite trusted her. And while I'm sure she will be one the greatest Amyrlins in history (after all, she's from the Two Rivers, which means she's ubermensch in Jordan's world), I don't know if I've seen the qualities first hand. That whole...

I see your point, but I have always found it strange that Egwene goes from farmgirl to Aes Sedai in 3.5 seconds. The boys, despite their importance in the grand scheme, have retained some of their "simple farmer" qualities. Egwene goes to the White Tower for a few months, and suddenly it's the...

Heh :) I don't mind if it never ends so long as the books maintain a certain degree of quality (Winter's Heart good...Path of Daggers bad). I hope that book 10 will finally give us some closure regarding the divided White Tower situation. Egwene and her faction have been screwing around for...

Anyone else gearing up for the release of the next WoT book? Have you been a good WoT fan and read the Prologue and Chapter 1? Any speculation on what's going to happen in this book? -Ryan

No, but I remember Beverly Hills Teens. :) -Ryan

Those of us who were listening to Metallica in the early/mid 80's probably feel the same way you do about Soundgarden. It's all about perspective. Making a blanket statement like "most 80's music was horrible" doesn't do a whole lot for your credibility. We're all baised by our happy...

Re: 80's music Absolutely. Why do those "Monster Ballads" compilations have plenty of Whitesnake and Cinderella, but no Def Leppard or Bon Jovi? 'Cause Leppard and Bon Jovi are still somewhat marketable. :) -Ryan

<disguised voice> I think that's an awfully bad idea! </disguised voice>

Re: Re: 80's I find your comments quite poignant. Funny how we never stop worrying about having enough money, even when our incomes are increasing. At any rate, I think the 80's were as cool as any other past decade. There's always a backlash against the previous decade. Then, as people...

I don't remember this rule. Am I losing my mind here? -Ryan

UGH!!!!!!! DUPLICATE POST!!!!!!! ME=LOSER!!!!!

What if you distribute the source code? That's human readable. Edit: I see that someone else already suggested this. Oops. Errr, what he said! -Ryan

It sounds like your computer is strong enough to run the PC ports of Final Fantasy 7 and 8. Not exactly D&D-style, but I'd thought I'd mention it. -Ryan

WSmith: You're preaching to the choir, man. :) I already have a Gamecube. Personally, I would only buy a PS2 at this point if I had a huge library of PSOne games. Otherwise, I'd be considering XBox vs. Gamecube. XBox is pretty compelling, but I'm not ashamed to admit that I still get a rise...

Don't dismiss the Gamecube too quickly, especially if you have kids. If I had kids, I think I would actually encourage them to play Animal Crossing. -Ryan

Geez, I'll play along :) I'd buy some Scarred Lands stuff, since I keep hearing about how good it is. I'd buy some more WotC splatbooks, so maybe I'd actually know what all these prestige classes are all about. Monster Manuals. I'd buy some minis and pay someone more talented than I to paint...

I have some recent experience with this (see thread in minis forum). Simple Green worked pretty well, but I had some difficulty getting all of the paint out of the nooks and crannies. Some serious toothbrushing work was required. Be warned that Simple Green will somehow etch the metal of a...

Sigh. Please close this thread, Mr. Moderator. -Ryan
