Books / Peter David
« on: June 19, 2003, 09:18:14 AM »
I was going to comment how after reading Sir Apropos of Nothing and his Supergirl run, some of his Hulk run, and the new TMNT comic, that I'd read My Little Pony if Peter David wrote it.

But then in the library I passed by a huge range of Star Trek novels he wrote. and uh... I'm still hesitant to pick up anything of that ilk... Though I did borrow a Hulk novel by him....

I like how my last couple levels have been numbers. It shows how as a student of divinity I have a deeper understanding of mathematics and numerology.

Or something

Table-Top Games / Applying your Awesomeness
« on: June 04, 2003, 11:37:35 PM »
I just have a question, and perhaps I'm just being perverse, but if you have your strengths hitting the enemy's weakness, doesn't that leave your weakness open for the enemy's strengths to hit?

Rants and Stuff / Woot!
« on: May 31, 2003, 11:28:50 PM »
Ok, so it's probably not my place to announce it, but imagine my surprise when Mad Dr. Jeffe (who has now proven to me his madness) calls me up and tell me that he got married last night. WHAT?!  :o

er... I mean CONGRATULATIONS!  ;D

I'll let him post more details when he gets back. But if you have a cake at all punk, you damn well better save me a slice...

Suggestions Box / articles redux

Fell, you're probably really tired of hearing comments like this, but I sent you two reviews like 3 weeks ago, and they aren't posted. Just making sure you go them.

Suggestions Box / Today's active topics
« on: May 22, 2003, 03:55:17 PM »
UBB's nicest feature (and nearly the only one I can find that YaBB doesn't have, and usually better implemented) is a "Today's Active Topics" link where it searches and displays liniks to all threads that have been posted to taht day. The closest YaBB has that I can find is a "10 Most Recent" link. So if I know there have been posts on more than 10 different threads, I have to do a search, which isn't so bad, but isn't convenient. just thought I'd throw that out to see if someone wants to code it.

Rants and Stuff / crawler
« on: May 19, 2003, 09:01:22 AM »
Some spam email collector has recently crawled TWG. Which I know because i got an email addressed to [email protected], which I only ever posted here. I wish these people would get more creative. It was "from" [email protected], and the message was just "All the information is in the attached file. Which might have worked if I believed there was a human somewhere responding to requests on that email.... Oh, and that I had actually ASKED MS for anything at all in the last 6 years and I believed they would send me a file with a .pi extention with no other explanation.

Supid virus coders. Why must they be morons?

Eh, it's probably not the best place to post it, and it may just be a cry for attention, but this should interest AORP members.

Everything Else / Nerdy Me
« on: May 13, 2003, 07:29:44 PM »
Ok, here's how nerdy I am.

I took Monsters and Animals and Urban Arcana back to the store today which gave me around $60 to play with. Nearly $40 of which I'd already decided to spend on Settlers. So, I looked around. Saw Fluxx. Saw Nano Fictionary. Both tempted me. Saw someone buying Godlike. Decided to see if I wanted that, but didn't see it on the shelf. Instead saw Pendragon. Being a big Arthurian fan, I was sorely tempted. Eventually, however, I decided I didn't know enough about the system. ElJeffe will tell me if that was a mistake and that I really want it.

In the end I spent my remaining $23 of credit. (plus $2.18 in cash) on a solitary set of dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d10 with a trailing zero. d12. d20). They're made out of yellow jade, and they're small (which I like) and they look really cool and come with their own little leather bag and I'm happy.

Everything Else / Settlers

Just wondering. I know I like Settlers of Catan
But is Seafarers or Starfarers of Catan worth it?

Role-Playing Games / Traveller
« on: May 11, 2003, 10:33:50 PM »
I just glanced over the reviews, partially because I already knew what ElJeffe would say about CT. But really, KK, you think that there's an improvement on Classic Traveller? Perhaps you think this improvement is GURPS Traveller where they essentially re-wrote the setting AND the rules, in which case there was no reason to even call it Traveller except for the rights to use some of the same terms? Perhaps you think it's the new "T20" which adds so many new rules and procedures and alters so many d20 basic rules that there was no motivation to make it d20 and completely ruined the entire feel of the game?

I don't get it. The thing that was great about C.T. was that it was simple and fast. Hard Sci-Fi that you didn't have to fiddle with every single possible science question. It ran smooth and quick because it didn't bear you down. Both GURPS and the T20 versions were so hard to read that I had to keep a brick on hand to smash my head three or four times a page to keep me focused. If you want to play Traveller, than C.T. is the only way to play it. If you don't like C.T., then you probably need to find a completely different game.

Music / What are you listening to?
« on: May 10, 2003, 01:53:30 PM »
You can post your favorite album here, but I'm more interested in what you happen to be listening to the moment you post here and how you feel about that song/album/station. Post each time the mood strikes you.

I have the Soup Dragons "Hang-Ten!" on. This is the album released about 3 years before their "hit" "Lovegod" (with the famous "Free"). I like it. It's a lot more Indy and doesn't try as hard. Definitely much better than the post "Lovegod" releases. The song "Head Gone Astray" (one of the best on the album) just finished. The best song on the disc is "Man About Town with Chairs," an instrumental "based on the original short story" (I couldn't tell you what story). It gets a thumbs up for anyone interested in a group of guys just trying to have fun with a piano, a guitar, a bass, and drums.

Rants and Stuff / arms....
« on: May 08, 2003, 05:55:35 PM »
I just saw the press conference with that Ralston guy on CNN. Probably most of you heard about him and didn't bother to tell me, but this is the first I heard of it.

The guy's arm was trapped under a boulder for FIVE DAYS!!!!!!! And then he cut it off to free himself, WITH A POCKET KNIFE!!!!!!!!!!

What I want to know, is what did he eat for five days (parts of the arm, perhaps?) and how the heck did he have the strength to cut off his OWN ARM with a POCKET KNIFE!

This is just too freaky....
