Hmm... interesting. I am embarrassed to admit that I haven't read anything beyond Cryptonomicon, even though I've purchased first editions of all of his books since then. I really, really loved Cryptonomicon and consider it one of my favorites, but his books look so daunting. I look at his Baroque Cycle books there…

Damn, our Ygritte is adorable. I love her enthusiasm.

Exactly. People keep going on about Origin, and I just keep thinking of Wing Commander and Ultima.

I'm sure I'll try the multiplayer but not until after I've exhausted the single player game.

Maybe instead of rebooting all the great Verhoeven films, they should try and fix the ones that sucked.

Daffy is no Den.

I still think A.I. was awesome up until David wakes up and meets the aliens, at which point, the story drowns in piss. Stupid.

I know it's silly to reference a fictional character when reading these real stories, but these accounts remind me a bit of Cutty from The Wire. [en.wikipedia.org]

Still one of the standout performances of Lord of the Rings.

I'm still hoping for Field of Dreams.

So I'm getting cancer reading my Heavy Metals. Great.

There's something strange about the perspective in this picture. HBC looks basically resized and pasted in the corner, but she doesn't look quite the right size for everyone else.
