    Suggest a book to me.

    The space trilogy is actually back in print now. I know because the vocalist for my band found a giant stack of "Out of the Silent Planet" copies at Barnes the other day with brand new covers.

    Suggest a book to me.

    Steven Brust - either the Taltos series or the Khaavren Romances. Both are excellent, if different, fantasy. David Weber - Honor Harrington series. I've heard the series goes downhill eventually, but the first 3-4 books have all been excellent in my opinion. James H Schmitz - Witches of...

    Looking For New Author To Read

    I'll also recommend Brust. But I'm going to suggest starting with the Phoenix Guards novel instead of the Taltos stuff. Set in the same world, but earlier in the history. It can be a bit slow at times, but the way he writes it shows off the English language like nothing I've read before or since.

    Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

    According to the announcers they have been. It's pretty funny sometimes.

    Anyone want to bet these iffy calls on the NE secondary is karmic retribution for their years and years of mugging opposing receivers?

    Are you ready for some Football?!? (NFL)

    Bad unnecessary roughness call on Julius Peppers, but they still kept the 'Skins from scoring on that drive so it's all good. Pittsburgh just looks beat out there. They seem like they've already lost.

    New "What sort of RPG player are you?" poll (this one by Charles Ryan)

    You scored as Weekend Warrior. The Weekend Warrior is in the game to kick down doors and kill monsters. After a long day in the office or classroom, he wants his character to wade into the action—too much time spent on diplomacy, story arc, planning, or even character-building tends to...

    Casino Royale - Best 007 movie in years [some spoilers]

    Saw it yesterday with my dad and we both loved. We both made the comments that if you want a gritty bond, Daniel Craig is by far the best, even beating out Connery. Simply great movie which I will most likely be seeing in theatres again, and buying on DVD when it comes out.

    PS3 Madness, the State of Consoles & Digital Entertainment

    Considering the only video game I've played with any regularity lately is Super Smash Bros on the n64, and this is with a 360 and PS2 with FF12 sitting in my living room, I'm definately much more excited about the Wii than the PS3. It seems as I've gotten older I have less and less time to...

    Looking to buy a TV

    Another quick, and probably dumb, question: To get HD channels, do you need to sign up for your cable company's HD package? Or is that just extra HD channels and you get the basic HD offerings with the basic package?

    Cthulhu vs. the Tarrasque

    Eh, the Big C looks more disgusting than scary. Tarrarasque all the way for actually being able to do things other than get rammed by a ship.

    Looking to buy a TV

    Well, my parents decided to chip in for an early Christmas present, so I'm also looking at the bigger TVs now. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7680011&ref=39&loc=01&type=product&id=1134703181778 I think that might be my ideal, but I'm still not sure about Westinghouse.

    Looking to buy a TV

    So neither company is really known for actual quality of their products? I was also looking at some of the bigger Westinghouse TVs if i can scrape up some extra money, but if they have problems then I'll want to stay away.

    Looking to buy a TV

    I'm looking to get an HDTV soon. I was looking at two on Best Buy's website, and was wondering if anyone who understood HDTVs better than me could tell me which one of these would be a better buy...

    Marvel: Ultimate Alliance

    Played a good bit last night. Thor is a best no matter what he does. And the Fantastic Four work really well as a team setting up the big time hits from Mr. Fantastic.

    Marvel Movies!

    Marvel apparently pretty much hated it too. New director, new actor, it's a reboot.
