    Google: UI Going Downhill

    Is it just me or is Google's User Interface (UI) going downhill? I was just using Google Images today and they changed the way that pictures are displayed. Now when you do a search images are not organized. It is kinda nice that you can see more pictures by scrolling down. Worse still when you...

    What could a publisher sell you RIGHT NOW/

    Wishlist: Published campaign setting that is rolling around in my head ;) Failing that: 5th on the Paizo Age of Worms and Savage Tides in two glossy hardcovers updated to Pathfinder. This. Or Modern/Future combination using Stars Wars Saga System with the numbers filed off.

    Another food thread, why not?

    As you might have guessed from my posts in this very forum, I'm not a great cook, but I try. I admit I am somewhat of a picky eater. However, I quickly grow bored of the same things over-and-over again. I often cook for my mother who tends to have a very simple palette. My mother often combines...

    12 year old girls love, 20+ year old people hate

    Meh - Miley Cyrus I can understand because she is quite annoying. My favorite was a brief interview where she said, "Wha you say?" I barely know who Justin Bieber is (if it wasn't for Twitter I wouldn't know at all). In my day (which isn't that far away considering I'm < 30) there was New Kids...

    Gamer Grub?

    Nothing like crunchy, salty snacks to sate one's appetite. Too much is bad for me, of course ("Get in shape? Round is a shape!"). L-Glutamic Acid Glutamic acid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Gamer Grub ® : Science Tasty!

    PS3: "Final Fantasy XIII", "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" or "Dragon Age: Origins"?

    Hi! Oblivion isn't too buggy on the PC, especially with the Unofficial Oblivion Patch. It's just that certain quests can be troublesome. On the PC you can easily fix those with an appropriate console command. Here are my areas of concern on the PS3. You can let me know if they are a problem or...

    PS3: "Final Fantasy XIII", "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" or "Dragon Age: Origins"?

    I have Oblivion on the PC. It's an older game and you bet you could find a used copy pretty easily. Oblivion can be pretty buggy at times. But it's a fun game, whether you follow the main quest or not. As for DA or FF XIII, I haven't played either game, but it boils down to whether you like...

    Input & Thoughts Needed for Upcomig Campaign!

    Interesting idea. Midnight is taken to the far extreme, of course. I am assuming that you are running Age of Worms in Greyhawk not another world? My 2 cents Alliances: who wants to work with Kyuss? I would imagine necromancers and other powerful undead would be having a field day. If this...

    Has lack of an insider account kept you from playing 4E?

    You must spread XP around before giving to Dannyalcatraz again Rotten kids, back in my day, we had to walk barefoot to school, uphill, both ways and we liked it. *checks age, age < 30* I'll be going now....

    Media Player Recommendations

    I think it's because many of the services were using WMA. The iPod doesn't work with WMA. I just cheked OverDrive and it looks like they have some software that converts it to Apple format. It looks like some titles are not available, and, yes, you do need Windows.

    Big Bang Theory and the Dungeon Master's Guide

    Ubuntu is extremely popular so I can see that. I don't know how geeky/nerdy it is*. It does makes sense Sheldon would setup a multi-boot on his computer; never satisfied, always tinkering or calculating something. *The server version of Ubuntu, at least, I find to be a weird version of Debian...

    This Thread is For Awesome People Only

    This is a Lego Zombie. I think that's pretty awesome. And two New Zealanders--the land of Middle Earth and the Last Samurai--and from the future. I don't know how you could get any more awesome than that.

    Media Player Recommendations

    As long as you don't mind iTunes you should be quite happy with an iPod Nano. If you have some spare time, try it out at a store, preferable an Apple store. I purchased mine at a local Walmart and I regretted it; the cashier didn't give me any special attention. Buying the iPod at Walmart was...

    Big Bang Theory and the Dungeon Master's Guide

    The one tonight had Sheldon backing up his computer and reinstalling Linux. I don't believe they mentioned distro. So I wonder what version of Linux Sheldon would use. Some part of me says Sheldon would use BSD instead of Linux. I still haven't seen the DMG on the show yet...

    Media Player Recommendations

    I own an Ipod Classic (hard disk player), a Sansa Clip 4 GB , and iPod Nano. I use the Nano far more often. The Sansa clip is a nice tiny player, about the dimensions of a small matchbox, but much thicker. It does include a small FM tuner and it works well, but I honestly never use it. I think...

    Big Bang Theory and the Dungeon Master's Guide

    Awesome episodes. WW was on the show at least twice; once for that card game tourney and once for bowling. I loved them both and I didn't care much about Star Trek: Next Generation.

    Campaign Settings We Hate

    What's your favorite (ice cream) world? Awesome poll. I would say I like generic fantasy worlds with interesting elements (vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and chocolate sauce). Dark Sun is awesome, but I never think of good unique adventures. DS is unlike the kill badguy-get loot model. Ran...
