    Not like Dennis Lehane

    I just finished reading Mystic River and Shutter Island, both great novels. I absolutely love the authors style and writing - he is incredibly good at it compared to many other writers in the same genre. Before I read all his other works I crave something different, thrillers still but of a...

    RANT: My sister thinks you're all losers

    Just for fun, I replaced the reference to gamers with "homosexuals". ... and "jews". My point is: It's socially acceptable to attack gamers, but not other minorities, just check out mainstream media when they talk about star wars or lord of the rings. Do we care? Not much. But it's still not...

    how Dumb

    In D&D you can technically have a stat of 3 and still play a hero. If you have an int of 3 you are painfully dumb, but not totally worthless. The minimum threeshold for most gamers is probably a stat of 5 or so, you have to decied that yourself. A good idea is to translate a describing sentence...

    Psuedoscience

    Because I study science, I am interested in the ENW members view on the scientific method. Intelligent design is interesting because, unlike astrology and numerology (etc), it's fairly new and it claims to be science. I don't really care about what intelligent design "is", I am more interested...

    Improve my social swashbuckly pirate.

    Thanks for the suggestions, appreciated! I'm now Rogue 2 / Swashbuckler 3 / Dread Pirate 4. Even more skill points, evasion and 1d6 sneak attack is always nice, so is the int bonus to damage from the swashbuckler. I changed the Str from 10 to 14, Cha from 16 to 14 (oh well) and Con from 14 to...

    I write on the internet too much

    Something like that happened to me once in my last year in high school. I had to write an essay about a topic in history and I'd just reformatted my computer so I only had a few text editors installed, no word processors. No problems, I wrote my essay and emailed it to my teacher. A day later...

    Improve my social swashbuckly pirate.

    I'm building a swashbuckling pirate for a level 9 forgotten realms game and I'd appreciate suggesions and interesting ideas how to improve him technically. My idea of the character is a witty, charismatic fighter and diplomat - think Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean with elements of...

    Math: Defining unknown functions.

    Lets say we know f(n) = 1, 8, 27, 58, .... f is unknown and undefined. One of many functions f can be is for example 6n^2-11n+6. What's the name of creating/generating a function from an arbitrary number of return values? I don't remember the word and it's really annoying! Thanks.

    Winzip trouble

    This is a typical example of bad and confusing software design. The error message really means "the file is unparsable", meaning the program doesn't really understand how the file works, possible because it's corrupt. Because the words "corrupt" and "unparsable" look scary to the average...

    Don't touch my Internet!

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-1715166,00.html This is ridicioulus. The Internet is not owned by Britain! If I, as a resident of Sweden, want to visit said censored websites whom the British government dislike it is my damn right to do so without interference from a foreign...

    Henry on Atkins?

    About 5 months perhaps. The trick is to burn more calories than you consume, every day, and not think about it so much. Walking alot before breakfast is good too. The walking part is not so bad if you're an introvert and most gamers are :-) My mp3-player helped me alot.
