Re: Lost & Found
Hi all, I am searching or two books I read in my youth - probably what set me on the path of SF/F. I read them in the early nineties in a small public library, so I have no idea what year they were published - neither do I recall authors or titles... The first one was a science fiction novel. The h...

Re: 1000 Messages!!!
According to Wikipedia
Your quote is correct.At the Trinity test, he said, quoting from the Bhagavad Gita, "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one. Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

Hmm I seem to recall someone calling him that in the first Iron Eagle movie.

Re: The semester is almost over.
And no, I haven't been playing EQ. I've retired. Bah no one retires from EQ ... they just take very extended vacations .... in the end they all come back ;) I've left that game more times than I'd care to count but it keeps pulling me back. I'm not playing right now but I still keep up with current...

Re: Good Books (Scifi)
So I was wandering around in the bookstore and I happened to find an absolute GEM of a book Jim Butcher wrote a series of books, about a guy who's a Private Investigator, who happens to be a Wizard. It reads somewhat like the first few books of the Anita Blake series, but has a much more playful st...

Re: Legacy, Chapter 1 Spoilers
true, yet the story says that faeries only have a lifespan of 40 years. It could be that you're correct and Fel meant she died 40 years ago and just got the numbers mixed up when he went to type it out though. Or it could be a typo of a missing 0.. like "Faeries have a lifespan of 400 years&quo...

Re: Harry Potter ***possible spoilers within***
The only comment, I have is that if she really meant her statements about not writing anymore about Harry and his world, why didn't she beef up the epilog a little? She left so many things wide open for additional tales both about Harry who is only 36 at the time of the epilog - far younger than ma...

Re: What's next: Surprise! Another Sennadar tale.
<snip> Three hundred years after the mythical hero Tarrin Kael destroyed the Firestaff, <snip> Has the world already forgotten about Tarrin Kael, or am I reading too much into this? Probably not forgotten really, but humans being as short lived as we are the stories of the firestaff and Tarrin are ...

Re: Everquest or Everquest2?
I didn't play the original version of swg so I can't really comment on it. The majority of people (even the ones that still play it) say that the devs ruined it after the NGE (think that stands for new game edition or something) update. I didn't think it was all that bad but perhaps that's because I...

Re: Everquest or Everquest2?
world of warcraft. eeek no not that horrid excuse for a game! Ok, I'll admit my opinion is a minority (judging that WoW is about 10 times more popular than EQ ever was) but I absolutely hated that game. It's cartoonish, an absolute grind to get to the end game, and it is populated by immature peopl...

Re: Everquest or Everquest2?
it depends on what you want from an MMO. EQ 1 has a ton of content at most levels (a by-product of being around for 8 (or is it 9 now?) years) but EQ 2 has better graphics. I never really played eq 2 so I can't actually say whether the game itself is better than the first but I did play EQ1 for a lo...
