    Why No Lost?

    Meh. From Seaon 1 onwards it has long since been clearly shown that the vast majority of The Others - especially when away from their camp - are insanely violent. They attack, brutalize, and kill without a thought, and their companions seem to have no issues with it. The suggestion that those...

    Why No Lost?

    That's what I've been going with for a while now. Both despicable, and both deserve a rather nasty comeuppance. In fact, based on the actions the characters have shown throughout all the seasons of Lost so far, nothing will convince me otherwise. (There's no way they could present some sort of...

    George RR Martin to his detractors

    While I know of GRRM, I'm not familiar with Ice and Fire. Is it a bunch of stand alone self-contained books, or is there an ongoing story that - and this is the important part - has yet to be completed? If it's the former, then fans should obviously get off his back. If it's the latter, then...

    Dollhouse #2:The Target/Season 1 2009

    It turns out my wife does a better Rainier Wolfcastle impression than I ever thought possible.

    Heroes #17:Cold Wars-Season 3-2009

    It was an all right episode. But Daphne being alive is hugely disappointing, even if it's not surprising at all. But this - which I though last night in pretty much it's entirety, almost word for word ;) - is incredibly frustrating for this particular audience member.

    Battlestar Galactica #16: Deadlock/Season 4 Finale/2009

    Terrible episode, for all the reasons mentioned above.

    Why No Lost?

    I literally laughed out loud when he said that.

    Rant -- GM Control, Taking it Too Far?

    This pretty much covers it, along with Jeff Wilder's comments. Done and done.

    Battlestar Galactica #15 : No Exit/Season 4 Finale

    Absolutely loved the exposition, because they're finally telling me something. And it's about time, too. Glad they at least attempted to explain the mess that they made in previous seasons, due to lazy story-telling and mythology-building. This episode's partial payoff made the journey through...

    DollHouse #! Ghost Season 1/2009

    Pretty much what LightPhoenix, Mistwell, Felon, and Grog said. I thought it was... mediocre. The concept has promise, but I found the writing to be not very good and the acting to be not great either. Contrary to what one of the posted reviews said, though, I thought Dushku does a very very...

    Heroes #16: Building 26-Season 3 2009

    Whew. For a second there, I thought I fell into some sort of bizarro world, where people were inexplicably lauding the worst episode of this volume. It was nearly unwatchable. Most of the episode was whiny Claire wallowing in bouts of TEH ANGST that we've seen throughout every bloody season so...

    Fringe #14: Ability Season 1/2009

    Okay, that was a fantastic episode. And the story looks like it'll get even more fascinating. Here's my wife's working theory: Bell (the founder of Massive Dynamic) was the one who wrote the ZFT. He was the first one to travel between the two 'dimensions', learned what was there, and came back...

    Heroes #15: Trust and Blood/Season 3/2009

    Bleh. Overall a bad episode, for all the reasons people already listed above. I hope Speedster stays dead, but then they kill her and we get Weenie-Boy instead? Pffft. Sylar's story (and consequently, Sylar himself) still sucks. He's out there... somewhere... doing stuff... and now has...

    Do you Trust Your Players?

    I trust my players to a reasonable degree. But, when push comes to shove, they will look out for number one first.

    Closest modern PC and/or console game to. . .

    The best, IMO, are: Aliens vs. Predator 2 (PC; IGN Profile Page) - a FPS that came out in late 2001, it really feels like you're there... in a scary way. Great game, and the Colonial Marine campaign is the best. Dead Space (PS3/X360) - 3rd person action/survival horror game with aliens and a...

    Fringe #13: The Transformation/Seaon 1 2009

    Pretty good. Any episode with Massive Dynamic is bound to get a thumbs-up from me.

    Heroes #14: (Volume 4: Fugitives) A Clear and Present Danger/2009

    I'm glad that made her... tolerable. Oh, and see Felon's post. (Though he does make a very good case for poor, poor Hiro. From awesome to terribly written. Sad.)

    Heroes #14: (Volume 4: Fugitives) A Clear and Present Danger/2009

    If they've learned anything, they won't.

    How much money do plan on purchasing 3E/OGL products this year?

    Hmmmm... a quick calculation puts me at ~$300. Paizo Adventure Path: 12 x $15 = $180 Paizo Modules: 6 x $12 = $72 Paizo city books: 3 x $15 = $45

    Let's read the entire run

    Thanks for the summary! Actually, I do know this story - I just didn't know it was happening right now (so to speak ;)) in your Dragon Magazine review saga. Waiting for the actual "event" was one reason I've been following along so carefully! (I'm going to have to go back through your posts and...
