If you're expecting this to be even remotely tied to the book, you will be disappointed. Pretend there was no book. Exactly. I'm just glad they said "Inspired by" instead of "Based on," because there would've been a whole lotta death from my hands if they had purported to base such a movie on ...

Classical music always helps. And fruit. I've always found that if I have an apple or a peach or something before sitting down to work, I focus much better. Might be different for you, but hey, it's worth a shot.

Alright, now that you've said it, I'm gonna reinstall D1 and make some wicked videos.

The Discworld series, by Terry Pratchett. Any fantasy novel by Orson Scott Card... hell, anything by Card is awesome. Are you looking just for fantasy, or are you looking for books in general? If the latter, pick up some Cordwainer Smith, specifically his collection of short stories; I guarantee you ...

Heh.

Thanks Stress! Looks awesome!

Sent a PM this morning...

Ahhh woodchip, always ready for those sneaky bastards trying to get into our personal data.

If any more of these accounts pop up, might I perhaps glean one?

Pah, anyone who lives here will tell you the real SoCal cuts off at LA. Come another hundred fifty miles or so more south and you'll see what I mean.

A man walks into a bar that's set at the top of a highrise building. He sits down, orders two beers, downs them, then jumps out the window. Ten minutes later, the same man walks back into the bar and repeats the procedure. Another man has been watching the whole thing, and when the first man comes ...

*blinks* Wow, that was... stupid. What's his deal about being found? If he's right, silencing him won't do much good; we're all doomed anyway, no matter what we do. If he's wrong, finding him eliminates one more crackpot from the general public. Personally, I'm leaning towards the latter.

That's it? For some reason I thought it was bigger.

This here says 78 billion. Strange, seems to be the only news article that says that; all the rest say 156.

Do you mean these?

2274, but I had to stop because of small children.

Opus owns you all.

Hey! Um... *raises hand* Shove me on that list of "die-hard Mac users who, apparently, manage to cheat without knowing it for years."

Hmm... let's see... 1. Incubus - Make Yourself 2. 808 State - Gorgeous 3. Vertical Horizon - Go Songs: 1. Nickelback - Someday, especially after seeing the music video 2. Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah 3. Brown Derbies - Romeo and Juliet These change constantly. Happens when your tastes are so ...

And the world loses another bachelor...

Yesterday was kickass. I managed to attend the grand opening of an extremely local Apple store, and got a free t-shirt out of the deal. It's good to be amongst my own people... anyhoo, yeah, much fun. Then I got home, and a friend from Texas called and we talked for hours. Good stuff. I was supposed ...

Oh god... please, let me curl up in this corner here and die. No wonder my parents are so disturbed.

Workin' fine for me...

*raises hand* I'd be more than willing to help with the Mac testing. A quick question though; is it going to be Carbonized? It's fine if it's not, I'll just have to grab my other hard drive. But having a OS X native version of D3 would be kickass.

I'd be careful, Viral; Tetrad's liable to hunt you down and kill you for not fixing your avatar...

Anyone care to give a hint for level 17? I've been stuck here for hours, I think I'm going insane...

*sigh* Can't people take a few seconds more out of their time and bother to type out complete words? I don't understand this flurry of acronyms...

I would like to publicly apologize for not having done anything to apologize for. I will attempt to do better in the future. Thank you.

Count me in. I've missed the last however many there've been, and I'm only about six hours away... damned if I'm gonna miss this one.

Scorch, you look exactly the same in both shots. You sure there's no photoshopping going on or anything?

Me, a few weeks ago, back when I had a haircut and was clean shaven.
