    [May] What are you reading?

    Now thats interesting. I was just coming in here to mention I'd changed my mind about my earlier list and to say that I picked up "Calculus with Applications", only its because I've never done any calculus, and was looking for a challenge. I'm also reading "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen...

    [May] What are you reading?

    Well, I just finished 'Of Fire and Night', so now I'm in between. I'm considering no fewer than four books right now: Dead Beat, by Jim Butcher. Still trying to catch up with my wife, she's read them all and is 'bout to bust at the seams with spoilers. Peshawar Lancers by S.M. Stirling. I...

    [April] What are you reading?

    That one is one I'd like to read. I started Ilium, but quickly realized that with my work schedule I need to go buy a copy so I can take my time getting through it. Same thing happened with the Saga of Seven Suns, I knew the timeframe the library expected me to be able to get through it was...

    [April] What are you reading?

    These days I don't read as much as I used to. However, I am right now in the middle of 'Blood Rites' by Jim Butcher with book six of the 'Saga of Seven Suns: of Fire and Night' for when I'm finished with that. I have the latest Dresden book, but I'm still playing catch-up with my wife, who is...

    Anyone else wait for a series to end.

    That may be. But on the other hand, I'm hip deep in at least four series, and sometimes it can get difficult to remember which is which. As an example, I was enjoying David Weber's Honor Harrington books until I decided to go on hiatus for a while. Now I don't remember which book I left off...

    Anyone else wait for a series to end.

    Meh, to each his own, I guess. I for one have been enjoying the saga. But then again, I found the first Dune book so dry and difficult to get through that I never had any reason to pick up any others, even if they were written by someone else.

    Anyone else wait for a series to end.

    I'm the same way. Authors seem to have this knack for leaving for good with work unfinished. However, there are a few series that I am waiting for episodically. It usually ends up that I thought it was a pair of books (or a trilogy, or quadrilogy, or...you get the picture). Then I find out...

    Heroes Season 1(#17)---2/26/07-'Company Man'

    The only power dampening I can recall was the haitian, anytime he was with Mr. Bennet, Matt couldn't read his mind. I just always figured it was a side effect of his mind-wipe powers. IIRC it was Eden and the haitian that captured Sylar.

    Snidely points out that this is the meta-troll thread, not the meta-drow thread. Please take your munchkin build elsewhere. This is only for truly intellectual discussions, not novel character wannabe's. Worries that he just caused another meta-thread to start...

    Jumps into the thread after a long absence to rmind everyone they are totally wrong, no one has it right except himself and his cat. Puts words into people's mouth's (neat trick on a BBS (realizes he just showed how old he is, since he knows what a BBS is and still mistakes forums for BBS's))...

    And the Iron Man is ... Robert Downey, Jr.?

    Groooaaaaannnn!!!! What were they thinking? I had a lot more faith in the project when it was Oded Fehr (who never agreed to, he was 'in talks' about it).

    Heroes...Season 1--9/25/06 Eps#1

    Heh..They didn't do that for Lost. Season 1 was so broken up we just waited for the DVD's.

    Heroes...Season 1--9/25/06 Eps#1

    "There's probably a lot of Suresh's where you come from. Like here, it's Smith or Anderson..." Ok, so I likely butchered the line, but my wife and I caught the reference anyway. We're hooked. Now here's to hoping they don't do like they did with Lost...one or two new episodes, then re-runs...

    What's the big deal with point buy?

    Hehe...talk to my GM who watched me roll 4 18's, a 16, and a 14 in front of him... My rolls away from his sight are likely to be a bit more down to earth (after all, what are the odds of it happening again. He'd nerf me for sure if I claimed that).

    Hrm.... And your character's name was? When was he in Sharn? How much was the bounty? I ask only for record-keeping purposes... :D

    Nearly laid low by a goblin...

    See, now every seems to be coming into this thread thinking I'm whinging on about my characters poor fate. I'm not. I thought it was funny. Figured everyone else would too. Besides, its not like I cut a leg off or anything, I tripped him. In the time it took him to stand back up, I would...
