    Am I a little too Type "A"

    I've wondered that myself, I am an Air Force Pilot as well as the rest of my gaming group. We all sat down one night and did a page count with the errata. That's spooky. Good luck with flying.

    Dragonlance

    I ignored him...I watched it for other more, benign reasons. I was working out my eyeballs. Look Up, down, up, down...

    Dragonlance

    Key words...writes a decent story. There is Jordan's problem. Tolkien has flaws, yes, but he wrote a darn good story. Tolkien as a classic has reason to be held in such light. I doubt WOT will ever have that kind of longevity, unless of course Jordan is on book 20, 15 years from now. I...

    Dragonlance

    This is a joke, right? Good. Robert Jordan is a former romance novelist who realized that he could make more money writing fantasy. I'll be the first to admit that there are better series or novels than LotR, but it would take divine intervention to put WoT in that category. --step off of...

    Movie "Druids" w/ Chris Lambert......

    Wretched movie. Oh the agony, it was horrific. I even tricked a friend into watching it after my pain so I could have one to share my misery. It was the last Lambert movie I watched. There will be no more.

    I cast "Raise Dead Film"

    Ditto, great flick. My Dead Film Pleasure is The Last Starfighter. It reminds me of my childhood.

    The other side of film dissonance...

    Traffic, What an awful waste of my time. It was drivel. Three Kings was pretty poor as well. Titanic and Chicago are firmly place in the please stop gagging me category.

    [OT] San Antonio

    Avoid the Riverwalk for food!!! It is overpriced and touristy. Good Mexican food can be found at Mi Tierra's in Le Mercada (Farmer's Market) and at La Fogata's, off of Vance Jackson. The Alamo Cafe is pretty good as well. There are plenty of good steakhouses and Thai Restaurants scattered...

    [OT] IT field

    I have two friends in IT that are currently out of a job. One is mowing lawns the other is working retail. Both had 5 years experience before they lost their jobs. Its rough now. Hopefully it's hit bottom and is on the way up.

    The Hulk Trailer

    The Hulk can jump over two miles at a time, sounds pretty close to flying to me. I am looking forward to the movie. I bought the book and read it. A few liberties with the original story, but nothing too upsetting. I am definitely interested. Cartoony is better than green paint, though I...

    Midnight: First Impressions of Campaign Book

    No after the d12 you get +1 hp per level. So the Barb gets d12+1. This is hands down the best system that I have ever looked at. I finally took the time to read the book. I cannot wait to get a campaign going. Thanks FFG

    [Waaaaay OT but who cares its cool] We might be able to turn anything in Oil soon.

    Uh, do we really don't want anymore of that. They would take a somewhat competitive industry and make it run horribly inefficiently. Think Post Office. Let's build a new power plant and raise the price of electricity by 5 cents per kWh. Year later - 10 cent raise. We promise it will get...

    [Waaaaay OT but who cares its cool] We might be able to turn anything in Oil soon.

    Sounds like a really neat idea. 85% efficiency is great in the thermodynamic world. It means that some of the energy contained in the turkey guts is used to fuel the process. As stated in the atricle older methods of this were extremely inefficient. i.e. it took more energy to mkae the oil...
