Video Games / MUDs - Do you?
« on: January 14, 2008, 02:54:30 PM »
I'm a big fan of playing text MUDs online, versus the graphic MMORPGs. The fact that it's an RPG that is all text means you've got extra wiggle room for creativity - much fun. It's also easier on an older computer like mine.

I was curious if I was the only one? If you're not sure what I'm talking about, here's an example of one that I play - http://www.achaea.com

Books / Books you dislike or used to dislike?
« on: December 20, 2007, 01:27:24 PM »
Alright, we've been talking about books we do like. However, everyone's had to read a book they disliked or maybe disliked at one point, then enjoyed it when they came back to it later.

I can think of a few from high school especially. One example of one that I still dislike is Death of a Salesman. We had to do it one in both grade 11 and grade 12 as a part of our study of modern tragedy. I honestly can't stand that book though. The main character comes across as pathetic, rather than heroic, and I couldn't identify with him at all - thus there was no sympathy at the climax of the book (don't want to spoil it!). One that I ended up liking after I read it was Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. It's so dark and hard to get through at first, but I appreciated it after I finished the whole book.

What about you?
