  1. Re:Am I the only one... on The Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition Preview Books · · Score: 0

    Do you mean Talisman the board game? I remember loving that game when I was a kid. About 10 years later I bought a copy of it, and it was... different, somehow- not as much fun. I don't know if the game changed or it was me, but whatever. I loved that game when I was a kid.

    Am I a moron, or do those numbers add up to almost two million, not two hundred thousand?
    (1,800 * 1,000) + 72,000 = 1,872,000

  10. Re:AOL Video Provides CC on Closed Captioning In Web Video? · · Score: 1

    Isn't it more an issue of FCC regulations that require television broadcasts to include closed-captioning, as part of their agreement for the airwaves, in the same way that they're supposed to provide X hours of publix service content? I assumed this had something to do with Americans-with-Disabilities Act,
