    The Guild As Sodas! Woot!

    Also, if it's your thing, an Official Codex Halloween Costume.

    Green Lantern: The Animated Series

    Nope, the linked video actually has about 1/3 of an episode, cut up, providing a much better sense of the show. EDIT: This is it (hopefully that can be viewed outside of the US): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCrIVjDh0Sg If not, here's a rip of that one that somebody did (the quality is...

    Green Lantern: The Animated Series

    Looks like a traditional 2D cartoon pushed into the third dimension, which works for me. But I meant that it looks like it'll be a fun show, I wasn't referring to the visuals.

    Damn that looks good!

    A Dance with Dragons discussion (SPOILERS!)

    Re: Jon Snow's parentage, indeed. In fact, the clues are so incredibly strong that it's downright unlikely that his parents aren't . See Chris Holden's essay at Tower of the Hand for a very compelling list of clues and reasoning. Great site, btw, it allows you to select the latest book you've...

    New Star Trek TV Series In Development

    Absolutely. Decidedly non-BESM shows animated in Asia include The Simpsons, DuckTales, and SpongeBob SquarePants, along with portions of the last several Disney films. The animation style is dictated by the creators, with the tedious work being done in, generally, South Korea.

    New Star Trek TV Series In Development

    Lucasfilm seems to have done well with The Clone Wars, though.

    Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO

    I was going to post this! Definitely well put.

    Uh, no thanks, I'll play this instead.

    Since I can, as of now there are 53,489 boardgames: FWIW, 22,269 RPG items (so far): And 16,013 videogames so far (it's pretty new):

    Uh, no thanks, I'll play this instead.

    Worse, it makes the game literally take three to ten times as long. Monopoly is designed to be a game where people can't pay and are eliminated; when played by the rules it takes about 90 minutes, but when you give big piles of money to players randomly, never letting it leave the game, the...

    Uh, no thanks, I'll play this instead.

    Perhaps broadly, but sportsmanship should overcome that in anyone over the age of 8. The 15-20 people I regularly play boardgames with understand that it's your responsibility from the moment you agree to play to: Play through to the end of the game. The only exceptions are games where your...

    Uh, no thanks, I'll play this instead.

    While I'm not a huge fan of the game, I don't think the "well read or travelled" bit really applies: you're not supposed to be able to recognize the actual saying. Rather, the idea is that players create sayings that have just the right combination of wisdom and goofiness to sound real, just...

    TRUE BLOOD/Fang 9--Run /2011--BLOOD COUNT 4

    I quite enjoyed the Lafeyette-haunted-baby storyline.

    New Star Trek TV Series In Development

    I very, very, very much don't want to see characters from the other series. I have fond memories, but so many bad memories that I wouldn't enjoy any cameos. What I would like to see is a series set in the Trek universe that's not about Starfleet people at all. Maybe not Firefly in the Trek...

    New Star Trek TV Series In Development

    If they manage to keep Rick Berman out of it, and preferably Branon Braga too, I'd watch. If it's another Rick Berman-produced Trek then I won't even bother to watch the pilot.

    Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO

    No chance. While it may have once been a Jobs thing, it's now intimately tied with the Apple brand, the world's most valuable. Hardly. Like Ford, Edison, Gates, and many other company founders considered to be brilliant, he will only be held in more and more esteem as time passes.

    Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO

    Largely misses. Even though they continued to innovate with the PowerBook and the Newton, they lost their way in terms of timing and marketing, and went way down the wrong path with Mac clone licensing. Still, Jobs was Apple ][ and Macintosh and LaserWriter in 1985 when he was ousted, with no...

    EURKEA--Clash of the Titans#17. Season 4.5/2011

    And so much more, with 137 different shows and movies credited on IMDB. He's played recurring characters on bunches of shows, including 7 episodes of Star Trek:DS9 as Zek and the consistently enjoyable voice of Rex (the t-rex) in all things Toy Story. The true depth of his acting skill is most...

    ALPHAS--Catch and Release/Mission Log #7. 2011

    Another good episode, with an excellent dose of Glau to bring on the fun.
