    WotC Podcast

    Aint that the truth! :) As for the m4a stuff....that's cool. Were there any pictures associated with the WotC podast? I didn't see them when I listened to the m4a version on my computer. I only got the main graphic. If these extras are going to be the norm, I say go for it. I'm sure there are...

    WotC Podcast

    Funny thing is, that's how I describe podcasts to people....its like NPR. If you like listening to the news or other talk shows on NPR, then you will like podcasts...its only a matter of finding the right show. :)

    WotC Podcast

    I'm going to respectfully disagree. Its more the Sony Beta versus VHS (gods above I'm old). The vast majority of podcasts out there are in the mp3 format (I will qualify this for RPG podcasts since I have no data on ALL podcasts). I'm curious why the m4a format was chosen. I'm not an expert on...

    WotC Podcast

    I'll correct myself a bit...they do have an mp3 version. Its not in the rss feed, so it must be downloaded manually. I've listened to a few minutes of it so far. Not bad....of course EVERY gaming podcast has been doing their own GenCon review so its getting more than a bit redundant. I look...

    WotC Podcast

    My biggest problem is the audio format. Not every mp3 player can play the m4a format. This doesn't bode well in my book. IMO, it indicates that the powers behind this podcast are not "in the know." If they had bothered to do some research into the popular rpg podcasts, they would have seen that...

    Life on Mars

    I like it. Yeah, its quirky, but that's british tv for you. The lead actor is really good in his role and comes off quite beleivable...how DOES one act when suddenly thrust 33 years back in time. Or is he in some deluded coma nightmare. All in all, I like the premise although, I can't see how an...

    Single Best Sci-Fi Television Moment . . . EVAR!?

    I'm going old school: The ORIGINAL Balttlestad Galactica....just after Zack (Apollo's brother is killed) the president of the colonies says: What was THAT! Commander Adama: That, Mr President, was my son. I was 9 and that just sealed it for me FOREVER. Scifi fan till I die.

    [August] What are you reading?

    A remaindered copy of New Spring by Robert Jordan (I refused to buy it new...I mean who brings out a meaningless prequel in the midst of a monster saga). and then its on to Saving Solace ( a Dragonlance novel...what can I say...they are my weakness).

    In Remembrance...Celebrities In 2006.

    The story is even sadded if you read her obituary. She needed a heart transplant at the age of 15. She was married on July 8 and died shortly after retruning from her honeymoon. I'm 35 and never had to deal with half as much.

    Ever had a player get so bent out of shape over something small, then refused to play

    This has happened to us before. We let the guy go. After a while, he came back and there were no problems. Sometimes people just need to let off steam, clam down, and get their head on straight.

    Doctor Who 28.13 Doomsday (SPOILERS)

    In Remembrance...Celebrities In 2006.

    Barnard Hughes, who won a Tony for his portrayal of the curmudgeonly title character in Hugh Leonard’s “Da,” has died after a brief illness. He was 90. http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2006/07/12/barnard-hughes-remembered/ I'll never forget him as the grandpa in Lost Boys...."that's what I hate...

    Doctor Who 28x10 - Love & Monsters

    If you haven't seen the companion Doctor Who Confidential, I highly recommend it. The kid who won the contest is shown visiting the set the day the Abzorboloff was filmed. The pure joy in the kid's eyes is what makes this show so great. No...this episode was not heavy with the fear and angst...

    Ghostwalk+Shackled City
