I second the Wootage! Fallout and Fallout 2 helped get me into computer rpg's.
News:
"Magic is what makes fantasy fantastic," someone says, "you can't apply rules to them or else it loses wonder!" I respond, "Sure, but if you want to write them you will certainly want to know how they work." Writing is all about execution, and I find applying some basic laws of physics to magic systems make them more understandable and realistic. Here, I'm going to outline my basic method for developing a magic system.

Gorgon, you are not 6'2". I'm only 6'1", and you haven't passed me yet. Our main difference is that I weigh about 120 lb. more than you.

Well, Lord Rian Strobe just got added to the book. He's even got a line! (He asks a young lady to dance.)
I'll see what I can do with Eric when the next name shows up.
You'll have to wait a few years to see your doppelganger in print--projected publication of this particular book isn't until 2007 (though we might decided to flip it with WAY OF KINGS and publish it in 2006.)
Whoa!!!!!!!

The Onion of Death was an onion that my friend and I launched out of our potato gun. It took 12 shots for it to break, and on the last shot, we accidently (i'm serious about that) hit a squirrel. The poor creature went flying and hit a tree. We were sad. But, seeing as our faithful missle was also gone, we considered ourselves even.

My parents and I watch that show, because we get BBC America. It's one of my personal favorites. But nothing beats Blackadder.

Music / Re: Hidden Tracks

I love hidden songs. But it is kind of annoying when you have to wait through fifteen minutes of silence (also known as Our Lady Peace's "The Wonderful Future") just to get to it. I like how AFI included the lyrics to their "hidden" song in the booklet, but didn't put it on the cd case.
My favorite hidden track ever has to be Duncan Sheik's song "Foreshadowing". It's like a six minute all-acoustic song, with some great lyrics. In close second would be "This Time Imperfect" by AFI though. Their both great songs off of great albums.

I'm still serving community service for getting an incredible amount of tardies. I've never heard of it being mandatory though.

I come back, and Gorgon and I are out of our jobs? This is unfortunate. Does this mean we're still the noobs around here?

I remember the days of being 8 years old and playing Master of Orion on my ancient Power Mac. Those were good times.

I heard it was horrible. I'm guessing this isn't true?
