Snow—-yes
We got a far amount of snow earlier in the week. Nothing amazing but it made walking around kinda shitty.
We’re suppose to get more on monday and tuesday. Hoping for some more and maybe get a snow day.
MD got hit hard I heard. If you got some photos point me towards them. Tomorrow I might throw some photos up of our apartment since me and Dave have been neigecting to do that.
Discworld
Have you guys read any of this? It’s kinda like fantasy Hitchhiker’s Guide.
Stopped around noon today, we got about two feet.
Is it snowing in NYC or Delaware?
If anyone else is harassed by people facebook chatting them, pidgin has a plugin you can get that lets it support facebook chat. Works really well, and it means you don’t have to use facebook chat. (I originally got into using pidgin to run my various chat things, when people started gmail chatting me, and so now that I am on facebook I figured it was worth investigating doing the same)
No idea, that was the first I had heard of it.
Anyone else hear that WoTC lost (“Decided not to renew”) the license for Star Wars RPG and Star Wars Minis?
My take is that a new company will pick it up, and we will get a really fleshed out original system. Instead of a Beta 4e DND, or a mod on their older systems, like both of the WoTC RPGs were.
Probably near the time of the official announcement for the 3D re-re-re-release of the original trilogy, or maybe the KoTR MMO that is coming out. Provided the MMO does good.
Wow
Has it sold for less than that in the past? Is it a profitable venture?
I heard it was written by the Artemis Fowl guy, which are mostly targeted to 12 year olds. I assumed it would not be any good. I haven’t heard anything either way officially.
Although “Reviewing the book in the Guardian, Mark Lawson described Colfer’s writing as “the best post-mortem impersonation I have ever read” and considered the book “a perfectly calculated adaptation”.[15] Curtis Silver of Wired also praised the book as a continuation of Adams’ story that only suffered slightly from some jokes being too cliché.[16] Other positive reviews came from The Times, where Lisa Turtle described it as “a fine job” and Euan Ferguson of The Observer wrote that “Colfer has pulled off the near-impossible.”[17]
Other reviews were more negative. Charlie Jane Anders of io9 described it as “more of the same” but without leaving an unique impression of its own, with the humour falling “incredibly flat”.[18] Private Eye summed it up as a “mostly humourless … lame re-animation” [19].”
Is the reviews on Wikipedia. So it sounds like he mimicked Adams’ style, but didn’t have any funny jokes. Sort of what I was expecting, but I was expecting him to be obviously attempting to mimic the style, without getting it quite right. So it is good to see that is at least done right.
