    Hobbit movie - April Fools Joke (I hope!)

These mispellings are deliberate (to prevent lawsuits) and is the key to the joke, which should be obvious, at least to a careful observer or to anyone in...

    Century City Canceled!

    Century City, like almost everything else on CBS except Survivor, looks like boring junk for the geriatric set to me, or misguided, middle of the road "safe" attempts to do something "hip" like the failed Early Edition, The Guardian, Hack, etc.. I couldn't even figure out what Century City was...

    [Conan] Anyone get Scrolls of Skelos yet?

    The template allows you to create a feeling of destiny for the character it is bestowed upon, and gives you some RP insight, as well as some exrta powers and weaknesses... The template, while specifically for a Khaurani princess, can easily be extrapolated to include any predestined evil...

    Enterprise 3-31-04 [Spoilers]

    This week's first new episode in what seems like at least a month was really really good. The Andorians (led by Jeffrey Combs) are back, this time to "help" the "pink skins" with their problem of obtaining the Xindi super weapon prototype. Of course, the Andorians really only want to steal it...

    Avalon Hill or other Military Boardgames?

    I have Axis & Allies: Iron Blitz Computer Version, which has dreadful AI (I can beat the computer as the Axis in 3 rounds!). Still, it saves a lot of trouble over setting up the tabletop version and accomodates up to 5 players, so it's pretty sweet in that regard. It adds in alt. scenarios (Cold...

    [Conan] Anyone get Scrolls of Skelos yet?

    I bought my copy today. After a couple quick look-throughs (one at the store) and reading a few chapters at home, I must say it seems like a very good value, though the art is pretty much mediocre at best. The new spells seem very good if not as numerous as I expected, and there is a lot of neat...

    Lost in Translation

    Eh. If I wanna watch real life, I can do that for free by looking out the window. When I rent a movie, I expect something more.

    Lost in Translation

    The cast was good, but the script just went nowhere. Wanted to like it, and did (not enough to ever bother watching it again), but I did not enjoy it as much as I would have if more things had happened (like Bill and the girl cheating). The movie was too long for having so little happen. Wish...

    Dawn of the Dead (2004)

    And where were cell phones and the internet? Nobody in the movie even owned a cell phone or thought to access the internet for info... Oops! Even if they were down, they should have been shown trying to access them! This is 2004, not 1978! :\

    Dawn of the Dead (2004)

    I thought Brett was looking for the alien at that point, which was still thought to be a baby (wasn't everyone looking for it all split up?), and he stumbled on the cat. He tried to get the cat, but then the alien got him... Ripley and her cat never bothered me; it was established very clearly...

    [Conan] - magic: any distinction between arcane & divine?

    Speaking of sorcerers, you'll probably want your PCs to plunder some Stygian tomb at some point, right? Here's a great site with 3D maps of the tombs in the Valley of Kings in Egypt, perfect for Conan GMs or anyone running an Egyptian adventure for any game system. Check it out and marvel at the...

    Dawn of the Dead (2004)

    Just came back from seeing the new Dawn. Lotta fun, but not as good as the original, which was an epic and one of my all-time favorite movies. The new fast zombies didn't bother me. What bothered me was I didn't care about any of the characters the way I cared about the four in the 1978 original...

    Dawn of the Dead (2004)

    There is a dual-statted AFMBE/GURPS adventure/map pack, MALL OF THE DEAD (from Steve Jackson Games) which presents survivor and zombie counters and a detailed shopping mall adventure location (dual sided, hex and square gridded maps). Retails for $14.95. :cool:
