I could never get into Andre Norton. I read something she co-wrote (I think it was the Elvenbane trilogy) and thought it was fantastic, so I went to pick up something by her since I already liked the other writer. I found her book unreadable. I don't remember what it was, but I recall the...

Tell me about it. When he first showed it to me, my reaction was, "Oh my goodness it's ugly!" But if it does everything it's supposed to, I don't care. I'll be happy with it. :D That does bring back memories . . . Good times. Man . . . - Seonaid, the girlfriend

It's only been 15 minutes since you edited, but it ain't back yet.

I can't believe no one's mentioned Spider Robinson! His Callahan books are ridiculous, punny, and easily read, and he tells a damn good story. The stuff he co-writes with his wife Jeanne is also good, but not nearly as light.

Huh. It's impossible to tell from the trailer if it'll be any good . . . but I'm banking on "not." Especially considering the end of the series and that horrible, horrible Raven. Of course, I did like the second film . . . And speaking of films, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299981/plotsummary.

I gave 300 a 10. It was the best movie I have ever seen. Granted, I have a horrendous memory, so that's possibly not saying much. However, I am a sucker for battle scenes. I found myself wishing for more mass combat in LotR every time they "strayed" to the plot (and I thought LotR, in book and...

We have healing in my party, but the GM has house-ruled healing a bit. This won't help the situation terribly, but it might make it more bearable. For any healing magic, the first point of healing brings you up to 0 if you are at negative anything, and the rest of the healing is added on as...

Eh, it's not for everyone. I thought it was fantastic, but then I'm a whore for fight scenes. ::shrug:: To each his (or her) own. Too bad you didn't enjoy it as much as you thought you might. :)

And what's wrong with that? :D That's exactly why I enjoyed it so much.

That's a really cool idea. Have you put it into practice at all? How did it go?

Yeah, V! The look on hir face in the last panel is priceless.

I didn't know that, but, no, that's not exactly what I was referring to. However, it makes much more sense now! :D "It" being why it was done presumably at the end of the comic and, subsequently, the end of the film. That makes sense, and made poetic (and story) sense, but the fact of it still...

What he said (except that I didn't read that book ;)). Three little things bothered me, and if I hadn't been desperately trying to find something to dislike about the movie*, I probably wouldn't have cared:1) Leonidas's form when he throws his spear/javelin at Xerxes was atrocious. I kept...

Infernal hippie! :D

Yeah, I haven't even looked at any of the nWoD stuff. I'm told I wouldn't like it, so I'm not bothering. I love oWoD and it'd be fantastic if I suddenly fell into a big pile of money so I could buy all of the books. It'd also be fantastic if I fell into a great group. Oh well.

I'm a reader when it comes to Vampire, and a gamer for everything else. I voted "gamer" since I'm currently in a game and because I'm not reading any WW stuff right now. I'd love to be a gamer when it comes to WW also, but it's tough to find a good group.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. I agree with all of the above. I also agree with Queen_D. :D

Definitely makes me laugh every single time. As for the lions, I thought it was cute, but I know who Ricardo Montalban is. :D Out of curiosity, why are teenagers the target?

Dammit, I was thinking Prince + half-time show = wasted time, so I actually left the room to get some work done. I don't like the half-time shows, and I'm not a Prince fan, so I didn't think I'd be missing anything. Heh, at least I finished that project and got it mailed off today. Sigh. :)

See, I was thinking that, but Miko seems to be fairly consistent. I would expect the SO to be less zealous. But since we know the GM is a railroader, the way Miko is being played makes sense. I'm willing to bet that Miko's guest player is a fairly consistent gamer.
