I like it better when the OOTS is successful intentionally, and not by accident. Where the heck is Durkon in all of this? I was hoping he'd get to shine a little bit. Everyone's gotten spotlight in this battle except for Durkon the Mostly Ignored, who's gotten into one tiny panel. Oh, and he...

I agree regarding Murphy and magic. I'm hoping that at some point she does get into a situation where she has to be exposed to magic, so that she and Dresden can communicate about it. The dragon episode had me going for sure, as I thought that was going to happen. If nothing else I think...

Oddly, I really like the TV Murphy. For some reason she just has come across to me more successfully in that visual medium than she did in the books. The Connie/Karrin thing is kind of silly, but other than that I like the TV version. I missed the first part of last night's Dresden. My wife...

Agreed.

I use Fantasy Grounds, but honestly I have respect for Klooge as well. I'd say take a look at the feature sets and demos and see what's going to fit what you're looking for.

I haven't played Guild Wars, but I would agree on City of Heroes. I think what CoH gives players, that almost no other MMOG does, is options. For XP I can: - Grind out XP on easier outdoor groups in a city zone, or on bigger groups in a hazard zone. - Run police band missions for a...

Holy smoke. I thought I was the only one that had read (and loved) the Dark Border books! I couldn't agree more that they might make the perfect campaign world, it's something I've always wanted to see (or make). Lost Prince and Prince Chondos are fantastic indeed. Of the other two you...

I think the Pink Panther is on Boomerang during the day almost every day, so you might try watching some of the episodes before buying the DVD. I was never a big fan of the Pink Panther. I bought the TaleSpin DVD set though and watch an episode almost every day with my kids. They love it. I...

I was in the closed beta for a long time, and gave up on it, mostly for the reasons you state in that last paragraph. When your major selling point for a game is the setting one of the most important things you have to do is make sure your players remain immersed in that setting as much as...

I agree, I would think Dragon as well. It's certainly what they were implying. Dresden was on an hour earlier for me here in Central. Usually it's on at 10pm, but last night it was on at 9, right across from Blood Ties. So next week is apparently the season finale. It'll be interesting...

We have a Teamspeak server that works well for us. I've never used anything other than Teamspeak, but I can't imagine there are many differences between it and other Voice programs.

The last four or five episodes they've shown have all been quite good, last night was one of the best. I thought the dragon dieing should have been more dramatic, or at least it should have been a little more apparent what they did. I also thought the "save Ancient Mai" scene could have been a...

I wonder if it's named Argent after the character in the Grendel comics.

City of Heroes/Villains, or Iron Heroes. I wouldn't classify either of those games as failures by any stretch of the imagination, yet neither are item dependent, or loot dependent.

Hmm, I guess I thought the Aleran Codex was a trilogy too, though I guess I'm not terribly surprised to find out it's not. The Novik books never came across to me as a trilogy, I think because of the Hornblower feel (Hornblower not being a trilogy of course). I really liked the Novik books...

One of the best episodes thus far I think. It was well put together, and better written than most of the others. I too would love to see Ms. Black's character recurring with some frequency, but you know all the purists would scream bloody murder. I guess we'll see. Claudia Black relates well...

I haven't heard of Blood Ties, what book series is that based on? Victory Nelson (was it Nelson)?

I still play Master of Magic. I have the books from when I bought it, but I got the program from http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=687. What an AWESOME game. The computer players' moves go to beat all heck on newer machines, and sometimes it can be difficult to move (moving with the...

For some reason I could never get into a Civ game, but I loved Alpha Centauri. Go figure. Heroes of Might and Magic is turn based, and can be very addictive. There's a (relatively) new one out that I have, but haven't put a lot of time in on. But really, if you are looking for gameplay and...

I've read all the books and like the show, and so do all my friends that watch it (most have read the books, some have not). More thoughts about Storm Front: - I didn't like Susan. I'm glad they swapped her out. - In the series his workshop is behind a hidden door in the hall, in Storm...
