I can't really respond to this part without bothering Eric's grandmother. But I was recommending it based on multiple people posting here, not the number of people posting comments on his blog. It's not ranting, the Slacktivist has a thoughtful and reasoned approach to things, irregardless of...

I always thought Phil Foglio summed it up pretty well.

You seem to be missing the part where people have been praising how well written the Slacktivist's analysis is. It's not worth reading simply because it's talking about "Left Behind" or because it criticizes the book. It's worth reading because it's very funny, well written and has some...

I seriously doubt they're going to charge for online play with either Diablo III or Starcraft II. With the money they're raking in from WoW, they don't need to and while the online play is one of the best aspects of the older games, it's not the sort of thing people will pay for. Since it...

Here you go. http://slacktivist.typepad.com/slacktivist/2003/10/left_behind_is_.html

This actually does get covered. Sorta. Kinda. In a typically LaHaye and Jenkin's fashion. http://slacktivist.typepad.com/slacktivist/2007/04/lb_why_doctors_.html BTW this is the link for the Slacktivist crowd's "Fan Fic" section. http://exharpazo.blogspot.com/

Actually, they have or are going to have a new service on their servers where all you need is the registration code and you can download the software from there and play without needing the disks. They're going to be doing this for all their older games IIRC. Besides it could be worse. I...

It's really just shoddy writing. The first book at least is filled with examples of this. Jerry Jenkins's, Mary Sue avatar "Buck" is a reporter who never files any stories, ignores a quarter of the world's population disappearing in favor of meetings with the new head of the UN, considers...

Which is it that bothers you? The children/babies disappearing or that it doesn't bother anyone?

I do blood donations at the Red Cross regularly and they have a set up where you watch movies while you're doing it. One time having exhausted the good films and being mildly curious I watched "Left Behind : The Movie". Oh the horrible things it did to logic and common sense. That slacktivist...

2mp is higher than 1080p HD TV resolution. So I'd hardly call it useless, but no it doesn't have a flash.

I suspect he'd have mentioned something if that was the case. Lets face it there's a lot of RL stuff that can cause people to not update a SH. The guy who writes the Chronicles of Burne in my sig, had a kid about a year ago and has gotten out one update in that year (fortunately the DM is...

More likely it's down to "Get Smart" receiving mostly decent to glowing reviews, while "The Love Guru" has almost universally been lambased as an awful film. While some films are review proof, those are mostly ones that have some sort of built in franchise/fan base and Love Guru is going to have...

Thing is, that most of the other races even ones like Giants and orcs aren't that different from humans. Lets face it most of them are really just aspects of human societies or personalities personified. Human societies can differ far more than your typical fantasy races generally do. So humans...

I showed a friend the pilot off of the DVD collection and he insisted on watching the whole series, straight through, all the episodes...

Greater Magic Fang is only 3rd lvl. Most of the buff spells are only 2nd. Thus all are easily quicken-able. The cohort will have 9th lvl spells and thus can use that feat (I forget the name) that makes spells last all day (+6 Metamagic adjustment). Not to mention that extended hr/lvl spells will...

Well they are a bit boring from the "Funkyness" standpoint, but a straight Druid handles a lot of things well, which can be important if you're off on your own. Wildshape can make them monsters in melee combat. They get full spell casting. They're as good or better than other classes at...

You forgot the amnesia. Either the hero or at least one of the other main characters has to have amnesia. Pity it's such a great storytelling trick that it's become such a cliche.

Actually it was something far more dangerous... Shil's acquired a girlfriend and I suspect she's been wanting his attention before he heads back to India for the summer. He's said he'll be working on the next installment once he's back in Calcutta, which should be soon. We were impressed...

He's saying that you are going to need Office, because any other "office" package (ex. open office) will have compatibility issues with MS Office files. It has nothing to do with the version of windows.
