For those of you who haven't heard (read: likely all of you, knowing the Wire's low viewercount) the premier episode of the awesome HBO show The Wire will be airing September 10 at 10:00. It will apparently be centered on the educational system of Baltimore. For those of you who haven't seen it, the...

Is the last paragraph hinting that the giants sealed Foul in the Creche? I'd never imagine them having that sort of power.... The only other evil rock type thing is the Illearth Stone, but that's seperate and different from Foul. EDIT-Let it be known that henceforth the Illearth Stone shall be known...

I knew it. I knew Mhoram looked exactly like Jesus. Except Jesus didn't have a nametag. Chalk up another win for modern technology, or better yet enter it into a database. BOOYAKASHA! EDIT-I might reduce it in size a little, now that I look at it, but all in all I think it works ok. And I bet more ...

Kudos to those who recognize it. It's not "Holsety", that guy has green hair for one thing.

Personally, I don't rate or rank lords or characters from top to bottom, better or worse, but individually. Meh. But that being said, ya, Mhoram's awesome. And he's able to find a new way for himself without rending the Land, and finally finds vindication at the end of TPTP. If I really did have to ...

Liete Carregio. The. Most. Useless. Character. Ever. And Alba. Parmute, was it? U. S. E. L. E. S. S. Alba was one of Nick's old interests, right? She at least served to show how Nick treated other people a little more, stuff like that. I'd say Darrin Scroyle was more useless. But queen of all usele...

I say Memories of Ice...but that's the most recent one I've read (just last week in fact), so for all I know I'll find myself speaking for House of Chains, Midnight Tides, or Bonehunters when I get to them. But, in comparison with the first two, I just felt it was a much tighter and more powerful no...

I just really wasn't sure if "general" Last Chronicles stuff should go into Runes. Sorry for being confused.

Being as I'm named after the uberwind spell of FE4/5, it'd be a shame if I didn't try to spark conversation about it. Right now I'm on chapter 3 of FE5, and enjoying it greatly; the capture feature makes managing items a little annoying, but it's nice to be able to steal every item in sight. Suppose...

Ooh, it's been at least a month since I was on Nation States. Maybe I'll make a new country and join andelian, who knows?

Well, I can't find my copy of LFB, which I believe is where the information crucial to this topic is found, so meh. Someone else will have to check if anyone wants to do close text analysis and whatnot. Also, I'm not exactly sure whether this belongs here or in Runes, because while it's more to do w...

Thank you, everyone. And such. It's nice to have that warm, cuddly feeling of being welcomed.

Agreed. And that's a minimum. I also want it to be enough fun to replay, or have enough variations, that I can play it several times. And lasting enough that I can play it years later. I'm (again) replaying the open-source version of Star Control II. Released in the early 90's, the graphics are lou...

There's one problem with the idea that The Dragon could ever save humanity, and I'm honestly a little shocked that people seem to have forgotten it. The Dragon never had any intention of saving humanity in the first place, and therefore there is no way he could act as an instrument to preserve it. M...

Fair point; we were never given a definite explanation for that message. But I think the theories offered so far are probably right - Nick was just being Nick, chucking the cat among the pigeons to try and swing matters in his favour. The fact that there were actually kazes around seems to have bee...

To be honest, I'm a bigger fan of WCIII. I find the potential for good micro control is a lot greater in WCIII, takes more time to master, and keeps the games more interesting, and for that I appreciate it more. SC just has too many troops for most stuff to work that well, at least for me, but I sti...

My brother has a DS, and he's going to be here for the summer. My goal for the summer? Castlevania

And yes, I hadn't heard of Yoshi's Island 2, but I certainly hope it'll be a worthy successor of #1..."Yoshi's Story" certainly was not, from what I played of it.

Also, I think it's kinda worthwhile to say that his amends are adequate considering that he's Godsen Frik, pretty much accustomed to being Holt's lapdog. Frik has basically placed his entire future career in the hands of Fasner, and far as we can tell, has never had an iota of actual goodness in him...

'Eyo. I'm not sure how exactly I go about introducing myself, so I'll just list some stuff before I make a few discussion'y posts elsewhere and log off. -I likes Donaldson's stuff. I've only read The Gap series, some short stories and his TC books, but I certainly plan on getting his other stuff at ...
