And Snow Crash is sitting right out there, doing nothing, too.

the thing ABOUT the pants was super interesting... but for me, everything Gibson’s written since the “Bridge Trilogy” has been a slog.

I think Pattern Recognition is the best of that trilogy, but I did like that last book a lot. I never thought of men’s fashion being so influenced by military dress before.

Man, now I want a real Princess Bride game.

I want a mini game where you get involved in a land war in Asia.

How the hell isn't there a game where you have a battle of wits against a Sicilian with death on the line!

I'm sorry but this is bullshit. If you heard probably 99% of the pop stars these days sing live "unplugged" with no reverb or accompaniment I doubt it would be much better. Beyonce can't sing half as well. Mariah has some def vocal problems, wear and tear from all the riffing and over singing, but this is unfair…
