No dice. I'm going to grind an axe in every thread, TYPE IN ALL CAPS, and make my grandmother cry (may she rest in peace) at my foul language.

Print book: Reamde by Neal Stephenson. A mystery/thriller about a WoW-like online game that is used for money laundering and spreading "ransomware" that encrypts the user's computer files until the user drops off gold pieces in-game, presumably to some kind of gold-farming outfit. Fun so far...

As usual, juggling a few different formats: Audiobook - The Oriental Casefile of Sherlock Holmes (a pastiche story collection) Print - The Devil's Eye by Jack McDevitt Kindle - The Cthulhu Mythos

Saturn by Ben Bova, in print. A Dance with Dragons in audiobook (49 hours; and they brought back Roy Dotrice!)

For the unfortunate among us who don't have HBO... Any idea when DVDs might be available?

Wow, a blast from the past. I will add that I was only able to complete the series by doing it as audiobooks. Simon Prebble does a masterful job of telling the story, which they broke down into, I think, about 8 audiobooks. I did it over the course of a few months with my Audible.com...

Finishing up The Prefect by Allister Reynolds in print. Next in line is Time Travelers Never Die by Jack McDevitt. Agonizing over my next audiobook. I might try to get back into Kraken by China Mieville (which I dropped about halfway through many months ago). Or I might try to finish The Three...

Some kind of giant bug, or something with slimy tentacles.

That's what SHE sai.... oh never mind... :) I play about once a month on a weeknight (about 7-10pm) and about once a month on a weekend (about 11-3pm). I haven't run a game in over a year and I pretty firmly believe my DMing days are behind me. If either of the games I am in were to end I...

Thanks, a couple of those Halo titles are at our High School library so I will get a chance to flip through them.

Hi there, as some of you know I run a middle school library (grade 7-8, that's around 12-14 years old). I am aware that some computer games have novel tie-ins - I am thinking specifically about Halo, but maybe also about WoW. Having played neither of these games, I am looking for suggestions...

The end of an era! I discovered the show the summer after season 4, watched it addictively on DVD, and have enjoyed it ever since. I remember noticing a distinct X-Files vibe in the early seasons, which I liked, and I was intrigued by the ever-changing web of relationships (who knew what, who...

Then again, I *am* Eric Noah. The succinct summary is kinda my forte. :)

I am a fan of the show, but this was an awful episode. What a waste given how much ground there is to cover before the end of the series.

I have to do this a lot at my job. Assuming we're talking Windows here... First, I like to start in Safe Mode. Different computers do it differently, try pressing F8, F10, F12 or F2 at startup. Second, I run rkill.com from a flash drive to stop any suspicious running processes...

Looking forward to, oh, a year or so from now when I can see it on DVD!

I haven't been to Blizzard's site in a while but spotted this today.... Diablo III - Horadrapp

Anyone spot any clever gags online? Hulu's front page is now looking like it might have looked had it been around in 1996. Funny to see a reference to a "new" episode of the X files. Hulu: Homepage And I can only hope this is a joke: Gmail Motion BETA

You know the Star Trek where Kirk gets split into good and evil versions of himself? Turned that into a Planescape adventure where the PCs had to travel into the dreams of a boy who was having a similar problem. In one half of his dreams, he was a rather dim knight in shining armor and...

I would be curious to what degree advertising supports EN World, and if there could be a way to measure traffic to the news page compared to other parts of the site. It is possible that there are lots of non-registered users who are helping to pay the bill by visiting the front page for news...
