    D&D 4E PHB III or 4E PHB which is first?

    This I'd endorse as a general proposition. The devil's in the details, of course, but there are enough fairly substantial errata now plus other revisions/refinements (e.g., swift/immediate actions) that a "light" revision (nothing on 3.5's scale, IMO) could be good for the PHB and MM.

    New Season Breakdown: ABC

    Sure you don't mean Cop Rock? :D I find it hard to get too worked up about any of these descriptions--except for Betty the Ugly, whose concept is, if as described there, actively repugnant. EDIT: I see from Slate that Betty the Ugly is based on Soy Betty, la Fea from Colombia. I doubt that...

    24 (Aired 5/18) SPOILER REQUEST

    True enough. :o But the long and the short of it is ... they're all deceased.

    [Poll] Do you game with friends?

    I went with option 4, which I took (perhaps wrongly) to mean that I don't socialize with my RPG group members but that I would if the situation arose. I've nothing against anyone in my group, and I've occasionally pitched in to help out with their stuff (e.g., I, along with quite a few others...

    AD&D Temple of Elemental Evil conversion?

    Paizo's got it here.

    Do your players know the rules?

    Other. There are a couple of players in my group who know the rules pretty much inside-and-out. There's another tier on which I think another player and I operate, which is pretty good, solid rules knowledge but not perfect; I'm always trying to learn more. Our current DM is old to D&D but...

    To go or not to go....

    First, speaking as a parent, I think you did the right thing--the hard-but-right thing here. I think a lesson would be taught either way--you not going more or less because of this thing with your son, or you going and having (presumably) a good time that probably would've been better with your...

    New TV Season Breakdown: NBC

    Here's a little more dirt on NBC's presentation about the fall. Not sure why that link's going to the middle of the page for me, but the story starts at the top.

    Playstation 3 pricing announced

    Plus, there's the issue of programming for the Wii-mote. E3 reports suggest that Nintendo's first-party games seem to control well to very well while the third-party-exclusive Red Steel from Ubi Soft has some fairly significant control issues. It's early, and it should get better, but I'd say...

    New TV Season Breakdown: NBC

    You're assuming someone at the network thinks it's going to succeed. Nice to see that NBC's not falling into any ruts, though. I'm waiting for the scintillating look behind the humor of the drama of the making of a variety-slash-sketch show.

    24 (Aired 5/18) SPOILER REQUEST

    Let me see if I remember ... Jack thinks Henderson's trying to betray him (of course), and Henderson starts talking to the guy inside about CTU agents being outside and that he, the guy inside, should start dumping out his computer files and get out of there with Henderson. Jack and the others...

    Looks like it's open season on one-word titles.

    Doctor Who 1.9/1.10 (5/5/06, 5/12/06) Empty Child/Doctor Dances (current-ep spoilers)

    Since I don't think we've talked about this, at least for the U.S. showing, thought I'd get us started, and I thought we might consider them together. This pair of episodes, at least where else I hang out on the Net, was pretty heavily hyped prior to (the U.S.) airing, so my expectations were...

    New from E3 - a game for all you lonely gamers out there :)

    Here I thought this'd be about Zero Suit Samus from the new Super Smash Brothers. :D

    What do Enworlders do in real life?

    I'm a senior test developer for a not-for-profit educational publishing firm. It's basically a technical writing/editing job that includes supervision work. Between bouts of pretending to work on a PhD dissertation in the history of education, I also enjoying editing the occasional RPG-related...

    Nintendo's E3 showing--and beyond

    *sigh* Guess Super Mario Galaxy was a little too much to hope for as a launch title. http://revolution.ign.com/articles/707/707709p1.html Of course, I'm so slow (and so bad) at playing video games that a delay's not going to be all that bad for me, but I'd rather see Nintendo go with both...

    Nintendo's E3 showing--and beyond

    Just saw the trailer, twice. Took a couple of times to absorb the goodness. Not a launch title, but I'm OK with that, as there's potentially a heavy dose of good stuff at launch anyway. Nintendo would be very well advised to hit a $200 price point. I agree that $300 is too much. I suspect that...

    Nintendo's E3 showing--and beyond

    Considering how reluctant Nintendo was to get into the online fray, I wonder how well it'll come out. I don't have a DS, but I gather that that service has been at least OK. I'm no network expert, but I'd imagine that Virtual Console downloads would be relatively simple compared to having...

    Kind of sad to start out at 0 posts again, but I'm glad the site's back up. Did miss it while it was gone.
