    Or, someone might come along behind him and read more or less into it than he wrote.

    Heroes #4--I Am Become Death/Oct 2008

    I think most people never wrote Adam off as 'dead', since he can't die. As for my circle of friends we have been speculating on how/when he would be back ever since Hiro stuck him in the ground. Earthquake, long slow process of clawing his way out, whatever. We knew it would be something, but...

    Indeed. I would enjoy reading both papers. Nudge, nudge. ;)

    OotS 599 is up

    I am unfamiliar with this particular film and the books it is based on, but by your statment it seems more a matter of a directer/film writer not understanding the source material, rather than not understanding his own work. Not that same thing at all. Misdirection became Hitchcock's trademark...

    OotS 599 is up

    I have none, sir. I am a loser. :( In my defense, however. I do own Start of Darkness and Origin of PCs. That's something, right?

    I still need to buy the books. I've been meaning to forever... In any case, he could have resolved that question when it came up, but he instead embraced it and it became part of the 'lore' of the story. Players controlling the OotS has never been part of the story and one person claims that...

    OotS 599 is up

    Actually, that's a terrible example. The debate about V's gender is by design. It is in fact one of Rich's recurring plot points throughout the strips history.

    Are you buying a DDI subscription?

    :facepalm: Well, at least you admit it. :lol:

    OotS 599 is up

    Please do, I'd love the read. I'm not afraid to admit I was wrong in the face of compelling evidence. Be warned, though... it can take a lot to 'compel' me. ;) That's actually my point, that there is no double narrative. We've never been shown evidence of a 'players' outside life affecting the...

    OotS 599 is up

    The lack of subtlty is exactly why I think the way I do. The PCs are well aware that they are the center of the story and that the NPCs are bit players in their lives. They are fully knowledgeable of the rules, and they express this. Given these facts, don't you think it likely that if there...

    Are you buying a DDI subscription?

    Not subscribing at this point. The compendium is not what I was looking for in a digital rules package, I want something that is available off line. The magazines are tempting, but since it looks like they may actually follow through with promises of printed collections, I can do without these...

    OotS 599 is up

    There has never been any indication of player or DM manipulations. Many meta-game references have been made, from books to rules to 'die rolls', but never have there been mentioned, any entities that control the PCs.

    OotS 599 is up

    Well, sadly it looks like 600 will not be a reuniting of the party. :( It will indeed be interesting to see which way the encounter goes...

    "last night on earth" or "zombies!!!" ?

    I enjoy both games. A lot. LNoE is good for variety in characters and more of a 'teamwork' theme. I haven't had a chance to play with the expansion yet, but I have it and it looks just as good as the base game. Zombies!!! is great for more randomness as the board will be different each time...

    Finding Battlestar

    What I find curious is that such a book would be published so close to the finale of the series. Why not wait so the entire series could be covered?

    Clark Peterson on 4E

    This is interesting. I have to agree with Clark, 4e is a good game, but is missing something that is the soul of D&D. And it's not something that can really be quantified, it's more the 'feel' than anything else. Perhaps, this is the thing that has so many people comparing 4e to board games...

    October '08: What Are You Playing?

    Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3). Great addition to the series, so far. Very creepy and only an hour or so in and I have had plenty of scares and jumps. :) Makes for a great October.

    Heroes #3--One of Us, One of Them/Sept 2008

    I don't think that's really a power. She just has a very forceful personality and is used to people doing what she tells them.
