    Dear Internet, Are you really the real Internet? Sincerely, Concerned Golden Dragon Azure Power Super Puma Reader P.S. I think I'll call you "Ethernet Swarmmouther"

    Summoning and Name-suckage

    I looked at the Arcane Power preview today. And I have to say... I've never really had the urge to play a wizard who could summon Hammerfist Crushers. Or Arrowhawks. Or Iron Cohorts? Fire Warriors are so bland as to make me wonder: was Pyromaw Firelord already taken or something? How can...

    Battlestar Galactica #13: The Oath/2009/Season 4 Finale

    Man, that episode was fantastic. The last two have just been build up, build up, and finally BLAM. Great, great show. I love the fact that Zarek is actually DOING something (well, okay it's Gaeta mostly) but at least Zarek's plots are actually coming to some sort of fruition. He's been...

    Forked Thread: PS3 v. X-Box 360 - How Loud is Too Loud?"

    You think the Elite is bad? Ooooh boy. The OP is talking about the release version 360. Let me put it this way... When I replaced my release version 360 with an Elite and turned it on, I almost thought it was broken because it was so quiet. The XBox 360 on release was like a leafblower...

    (Rant) Real life constantly interfering with my game!

    Once-a-week with young kids just does not work very easily. Sure you can dump kid responsibilities on your spouse. Every week. That'll get old pretty fast. My wife likes to game. We STILL have a hard time playing once-a-month. We've tried to get babysitters, but virtually every time, the...

    No news of a 4th ed D&D game, YET? :/

    It's frustrating to see such a good license go to waste. 4e would be the easiest D&D to adapt to computer games yet, and still ... nothing. Grrr...

    Battlestar Galactica#11-Sometimes a Great Notion/Season 4 Finale

    I don't think the 13th colony Cylons blew themselves up. I think their creation, the humans, came back and destroyed their former masters. A few remaining cylons survived in a beaten down starship that crossed the galaxy to find a new home, all the while being attacked by the ruthless humans...

    Vista, or waiting for Windows 7

    I like Vista except for a couple of issues. Lots of hardware just doesn't work well with it. My printer needs to be rebooted after a paper jam. My monitor stopped working after a nVidia driver update. At this point though, most hardware is going to have Vista as a primary platform, so it...

    Recommend me some games for the Xbox 360...

    If you like FPSes and RPGs, then Mass Effect is good and Fallout 3 is better. And they combine both genres. Fable 2 is quite good. My wife is enjoying Prince of Persia... It looks pretty cool to me. Bioshock and Dead Rising are also games I'll give another vote for. Don't forget about the...

    About the new EN World front page - I LOVE IT!

    ... I hate the change. :( The front news page served as a kind of community trough for the site, and now the front page has become completely useless. I may as well skip it entirely. But because I typically spend more time on the forums than reading the news, I probably will not bother...

    Talisman 4th Edition

    Fate is a good idea, as long as it's very limited availability. The game just has so many random events that it's easy for the luckier player to shine. Winning by rolling higher is not all that fun. At least with fate, you get to have some choices on those die rolls. It also lets you have...

    Robots by Vecna

    A military robot by a company named Vecna. Too bad it doesn't only have one eye and one hand... New Army technology could save soldiers' lives - CNN.com

    Leverage

    I gotta say, I'm really digging the show. The cons are clever (though there are occasional holes, I can overlook that every now and then), and the show keeps itself light-hearted. I especially like how all of the flashbacks are completely ridiculous. And the tech guy is damn funny.

    Heroes# 12: Our Father/Dec 2008

    What? We did? I missed that one.

    Death + Say Yes + Disease Track + Shaddowfell = Fun! :)

    I've done something similar once. The players were deep in bad guy territory, and one of the party was down. The only way to raise the player was to go to a necromancer, who later turned out to be the party's main nemesis. After the player was raised, she learned that the necromancer had...

    Mac or PC?

    I use a PC because I enjoy gaming and the occasional multi-button mouse. But I will readily admit that Windows Vista is teh suck.

    layoffs?

    That's a pretty sad list. You have to look pretty hard these days to find a company that isn't laying people off. While I feel it's a long-term mistake for Wizards to be letting these people go, the economy is not what it was. WotC needs to control costs right now. They could very easily...

    The Grand New Xbox Experience

    The Netflix thing alone has made it worth it. I now have more TV than I know what to do with. Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Season 1 and 2? Yes, please. And these aren't seasons like today's crappy 13 episode seasons. Oh no, we're talking 30-40 episodes of the best plot twists ever. For free...

    Heroes#10: The Eclipse : Part 1/Nov2008

    Everything is going to change? It sure doesn't seem that way. I agree with a previous poster. This season can't figure out where to go. Oh no! The world is going to end when everybody gets powers... And so we must fight Pa Patrelli... And everyone who was bad is good and good is bad...

    Astral Dreadnought has kind of a fatal flaw?

    That whole thread was great. But it's like Jason from Friday the 13th. Just keeps getting brought back from the dead for no real reason. :)
