Mark, you are a very sick man. I like that about you :D

Eastwood's no namers are the best I tell you, the best and you are a fool of a Took if you don't realize it.

I do not think I will have my arena done, but there is still a small hope. I have been working in the nursery instead. I would like to play Talisman and would run it as an afternoon slot, but I do not own the game. I think Curt has one, I can't remember who brought it last time. If we had a...

You need a lot of small meals/snasks to incorporate all the meals Breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, lunch, & supper (I am missing one but can't think of it. Here is a great soup that can act as your stew, it is very easy and only takes a half hour. Add some corn bread and you will be...

Running is exactly what you should do in these instances. If you have ever fought an adult male who is significantly larger than you, or watched an episode of cops or the like, then you have witnessed how much abuse the human body can take and keep going. Sure getting kicked in the nads...

I have read about these two feats online, but do not know what books they are from or how what they are. If someone could let me know the sources and a brief explanation I would be grateful. Thanks

I don't think Rowling has to kill Dumbledore off in order to have Harry shine. She has done an excellent job of demonstrating that he and his administration are a total mess and are greatly unaware of what happens around them. Sure Dumbledore winks at Harry like he knows what is going on, but...

I will just grab space. It will just be quick gladitorial combat situations to play during lunch and such. I will put together a handful of scenarios and bring minis for anyone who may want to mess around during down time.

The 26th sounds great. Since a pregnant wife and work has screwed my gaming schedule, I am going to play this time around and not paint. I am creating a large gladiator arena and if it is done in time, I will bring it with me. I can have a few scenerios ready for anyone interested...

I don't think you can expect great acting from CC. I checked out a Buffy book on tape from the library because CC was the reader and I thought it might be fun pulp while driving. She was one of the worst readers I have ever heard. I say Whedon goes looking for some new inspiration and actresses

I think at this point the three main characters are safe, unless Ron or Hermione take a more active role in book six. Hagrid would be a good one, I believe he has played his role. The characters are now integrated enough into the school that Hagrid's mentor role is played out.

Did something come out saying someone will die, or is this just a general discussion? The books are getting more violent and unlike the earlier books, death is very likely. I think we may see more than one character killed or similarly removed from the game.

I am really only referring to people who relate everything back in movie quotes. I have had players who will spend half of game sessions quoting movies or relating how some story reminds him of this scene in a movie. I have only met a few people like that, but I could also be way off base as...

You are all hopeless. I think the part that scares me the most is the vast amount of quotes certain people have at their disposal. I wonder how many movies they have seen and how many times they have seen each one to memorize the lines. I think the overuse of quotes comes down to not...

Broken Record. The occasional quote is fine and can enhance a story, conversation or game, but I find those that do it, quote movies all the friggin time and it drives me nuts.

I really enjoyed the first two books in this series. There were some fun characters, lots of interesting facets to the story and many mysteries. I did not like the conclusion of the series, but that often comes down to personal taste. I thought the end was too clean, but that is common in...

Just Finished a few really good reads. First is THe Eagle has Landed by Jack Higgins. This is an excellent historical Fiction book about a group of German paratroopers who are sent to England to assassinate Churchhill. This was a book that I could not put down from page 1. I suggest that...

Congrats, you may not sleep much, but I bet you are sleeping easier now that he is home.

So many good characters, Garet Jax and Jimmy the Hand have to be my favs. I think the stuff you read in your teens sticks with you the longest. Sci-fi is an easy choice Michael Jackson.

But if the book can't grab your attention or interest after 100 pages why would you continue? Is it really a good book if the author takes too long to engage the reader? IMO, almost everything ever written has some level of merit, but it does not mean they are always god reads. If I gave you...
