    28 Weeks Later

    The word zombie was a misnomer for Romero's movie creatures as well. To be a proper zombie someone would have to have stolen their souls, and the same person or another would control them. They were actually called ghouls in Night of the Living Dead. The infected in 28 Days/Weeks Later...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    I say that a person has to live with it because at least 90% of stores I go to have them. Even most small boutique style stores have them. I can't even buy groceries without walking through scanners. Living with it doesn't mean liking it. :\

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    Both RPGNow and Drivethru RPG's FAQ indicate that it is OK to print the PDF's for personal use. I would hope a resonable business would accept a printed receipt plus a print out with the FAQ info as proof that the customer has permission to have a copy made of the PDF.

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    I can understand checking to make sure someone has a receipt or other proof of ownership for a PDF, but to make it impossible to print anything with a copyright is going overboard. It hurts the customer who can't use the PDF as they legally intended. It costs the company that refuses to print...

    Staples refuses to print my PDFs....

    Do the magnetic theft detection scanners at the exits of most major stores also make you angry? Every store with these is treating its customers as assumed thieves. I seem to be jinxed to frequently set them off with tagged items I've purchased. I've not once got an apology from a store...

    "Super-Earth" orbiting Gliese 581

    Most importantly with a red Sun, we wouldn't have to worry about Kryptonians and their superpowers. A "Super-Earth" indeed. ;)

    [RANT] I Really Hate the United States Postal Service

    Two out of the last three packages I've received through the USPS have been opened. Both packages had books. One of the opened packages arrived OK. Whoever opened the other package broke the binding of the book. They must not have been book fans. :\ Of course if they had been, I wouldn't...

    Rate Spider-Man 3

    I have no doubt there will be another Spiderman movie eventually. I wouldn't bet on it having the same actors, director, or continuing the storyline from the first 3 Spiderman movies though.

    Going to the movies alone

    I've never gone to see a movie by myself. Hanging out with my friends is half the fun of movies. (actually more then half in the case of a bad movie) With ticket prices at close to $10 for a non-matinee movie, I want to maximize the fun I'll have. If no one wants to see a movie I'm interested...

    Rate Spider-Man 3

    I gave it an 8. It was an enjoyable ending to the series. It had a little too much going on, and some elements seemed to be added just for the fans.

    Peter, Paul and Mary KNEW!!!!

    You're so vain. You probably think this song is about you. ;)

    Shape of RPG Industry

    I think ICV2 gets their numbers from North American distributors. I suspect WHFRP would be in the top 5 of a more international survey.

    what is large and green.....

    Looks like what happens when you keep trolls and ogres too close together in your dungeon. You end up with a Trogre. :eek:

    Dungeons & Dragon print ad of 1981

    Boy that's quite an "elf." I bet he got added to the comic towards the end of the creative process. He look like he was sketched in at the last minute. I wonder if they had to raid the Keebler treehouse to get him.

    Why I don't support my LGS

    If you want to hear about bad customer service, you should hear what i just told two customers who were purposefully slowly running their delivery truck into a boulder at the business I work for. They were trying to bend the truck's bumper back in place. :eek: I bet they think I was terribly...

    Peter, Paul and Mary KNEW!!!!

    That's because they come from a land down under. Where women glow and men plunder.

    Urgent!

    An arena with a blindfolded dragon in the center. The dragon randomly spins around and unleashes its breath weapon every few rounds.

    Urgent!

    An arena inside the cone of a volcano, mostly filled with lava. There are small platforms floating above the lava. Each platform can safely hold one person, but starts to sink with two. They sink really fast with 3 or more. Lots of jumping, the threat of falling or be knocked into the lava...

    Why I don't support my LGS

    I'm fortunate to have a very good FLGS. I wouldn't judge that store by a single experience. The clerk might have had somewhere to go and a small store with a single employee usually doesn't have a lot to do after closing except running the receipts. They can't sell anything once they've...
