was more my experience!
Nothing like an RPG that emphasizes your essential helplessness against a hostile universe. Still my favorite after all these years.
Few things are more fun than taking cocky, obnoxious teenaged boy gamers down a few pegs... or, for that matter, cocky, obnoxious male gamers of any age.
I check them out of the library! (You know... that building with books in it?) I get a week's free viewing off the bat and can renew over the phone to keep it longer. Plus, I can use the online card catalog to reserve DVDs and have them sent to a branch that's just a few blocks away from my office. The selection is decent, though it's sometimes difficult to get popular releases. But it's great for kids' movies, re-released old movies, and indie/art movies.
If I can borrow DVDs for free from the library, rent them for $2-4, or buy them in a supermarket/discount store for $10, why on earth
would I want to shell out $7 for a self-destructing DVD? Someone didn't do their market research...
It clearly states that the US electric grid was more reliable when it was more tightly regulated by the government and gave a number of reasons why this was so.
I've lost count of how many times I've read Lord of the Rings. (I'm a geek, I admit it...:-) I read the books long enough ago that my mental image of Tolkien's world was pretty well-developed before seeing the films. So, while the movies have influenced how I imagine some of the characters and settings, they haven't really changed it. Most of my visualization of Middle-earth is based on the artwork of various illustrators and Tolkien himself. (I have to confess that it took me years to purge from my mind the image of Boromir in a Viking helmet from the Ralph Bakshi film, though.)
What has had a huge impact on the way I imagine Middle-earth, though, is the 1981 BBC radio play. When I read the books now, I imagine the characters speaking in the voices of the actors in the radio play!

Yet another useless status symbol to hang in your McMansion's pretentioius 2-story foyer.

... You worked for Scaife?
1984 was a good year for calculators.
Bought in 1984.
