Let's see... Three characters, three cliffhangers... Third installment in the works... Do you even know what a cliffhanger is for?
Normally I'd agree with you, but at the rate that these games get produced we won't see the third installment until sometime during the Chelsea Clinton presidency. And (spoiler ahead) having it look like all of the main characters have joined the bleedin' choir invisible is not the way to leave the faithful hanging for decades.
I had that too, and oddly enough it was the same thing that was preventing me from upgrading AVG 7.5 to 8.0. I did the reset permissions thing and then both installs went fine.
Ugh. The second-person in that book really annnoyed me. Having said that, I'm a huge Robbins fan. "Jitterbug Perfume" is one of my absolute favorite books.
That picture has been my desktop at work for a few days now. Those who get it laugh heartily. Those who don't... I usually just tell them that the explanation would take too long.
lolcats just lose all funny when you have to disect them.
I played TLJ right around the time I played Syberia (hey, what can I say. My PC at the time couldn't handle the newer games and I was raiding the $10 and under bargains on Amazon). I liked both games, they were similar in feel and gameplay.
I can't remember if it was April Ryan or Kate Walker, but occasionally you would find a switch or door that would not open and every time you tried to open it she'd say "It's sssssstuck." It probably sounds a bit weird but I would keep triggering that over and over, it was just so cute.
Of the two I think Syberia had a more satisfying sequel. Dreamfall was neat and whatnot, but it just left too many big questions open at the end. That's fine if you're going to be fairly timely about issuing sequels, but given their past history it makes me a little mad.
I've got a 6800 helping out a Pentium-D dual core and it runs pretty well. I had to turn down a couple of settings (the extra-glossy shader thingy really caused frame skipping) but it's running amazingly well. My only beef was having to upgrade my drivers to a "Bioshock-ready" set of betas - but apart from that it's been sweet.
Every time I hear this argument I harken back to the days of the PMRC in the U.S. (and to think there was a point I wanted Tipper to be the first lady).
Yeah, but the whole "Galen just happened to be in the Eye in time to disable the defenses with his zero-term equation so that the White Star could carry out Sheridan's commands" thing was just a little too con-veeeeeenient (said in my best Church Lady voice). JMS was definitely trying to spackle over a plot hole with that one.
Otherwise I loved that trilogy. And the Centauri one too. Okay, fine. I thought the Telepath trilogy pretty swell as well.
I tried it with one site (Amazon IIRC) and got back an error message saying "No no you ninny, we said enter a VALID e-mail address. What are you, an idiot?" or something French like that. Apparenlty some forms are smart enough to check for invalid characters.
After my vasectomy I had to drop off samples twice to make sure the pipes were clean. I figured there were two ways of handling this: 1) to be totally embarassed and full of dread, or 2) not give a flying burrito and non-chalantly stride in with my jar full of jelly and tell the nurse "Crikey, I'm here to drop off some semen." I chose the second one - it was lots of fun.
No. I don't know why I went Austrailian there for a minute.
I certainly hope so being 41 myself. If we're not then I'm going to blame it on all the brain cells that valiantly gave their lives so that I might drink in college.
Hirsch makes these, I think they call them Scramble-Prox or something like that. You present your badge and then enter a PIN on a keypad that scrambles the layout after each user.
I really can't justify the $ either, but I really had to buy them. And ordering them within the first few weeks of publishing gets me $10 off a book, so it'll only be $420 (+tax/shipping) instead of $560.
Hey, it's my flimsy rationale and I'm sticking with it.
They've been good too. A few edited-out scenes that helped explain things, some good behind-the-scenes stories, and the scoop on Lyta's Lingerie. I can't wait to see how/if Joe addresses the whole Claudia mess.
My affiliate showed it on Tuesday nights at 11:00 PM.
Granted, I could (and did) record it, but I HAD to watch it "live." That made for some grumpy ducks the following day, especially after eps like "Severed Dreams" or "Zha'dum."
Things I've learned from reading the B5 scripts books:
Actually, it wasn't the studio saying "you're ratings suck, see ya." Of all the shows on the PTEN network, B5 was actually doing okay. It was PTEN itself that was in danger of going bust.
Back when the pilot first aired, that line was not in there. After TNT picked up the show for season 5 and commisioned the movie "In the Beginning", JMS and company went off and did a special-edition jobby to the pilot. Mostly SFX tweaks, but that line was one that was added.
I can't wait for volume 15 of the B5 script books so that I can read the whole storyline if Sinclair had stayed. Yeah, I know. Geek.
If you read the help, it says that the ability to save location "is an important feature" and that they are working on it. So what you want may be coming too.
Of course you could always use the "send feedback" link and request the option to do what you want.

And then they asked him if he had ever heard of Spinal Tap. The silence that followed was almost as pure as this stuff is black.
That's Hedley.

Damn. And my mod points expired yesterday.
Well said.

B5 geek hat on:

B5 geek hat off.
Wait, this won't come off!
That trick only works sometimes.

Wow. That's dedication. You win.

Thank you. I was just about to come in and mention Mr. Choate.
Now I'll have to bemoan the passing of Paul Winfield who played Dr. Franklin's father.

That's a bit of revisionist history there.

So you're saying Saruman had a third nipple?
