Just horible. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone at the race and in the Boston area.

Lord of the Buds
The Fellowship of the Budship

Well, I think the important thing is that I did a really good job, especially when I told Ma3laa what his name really sounds like.

great job dudes

guys got a 3 in the middle of his name and it's silent?!?

bumped for hope

cool vid, looking forward to being a part of this

I just had a lot of fun with it. I guess I'm dumber than a 10 yr old because after 5 mins I certainly didn't have everything figured out. I really like the "lessons" of the game, that was an unexpected delight. The style of the game, not just the way it looks, but how it makes you play it, is very very awesome, imo.

Haven't finished (got stuck actually, and it's late) so I can't say if it was worth $20 yet, but so far I'm very pleased.

Was looking through the Steam Store wishing I could play Bioshock when I came across this: http://store.steampowered.com/app/219890/

I bought it immediately. I love portal, I love Escher art, I love first person puzzle games. This looks amazing. I'm installing it now, while I wait...Has anyone played it?

hope someone submitted a ticket

Go here also: http://asoiaf.westeros.org/

those are the official community forums for the series, I believe an editor(s) from the site have collaborated with Martin for fact checking on his world of ice and fire encyclopedia thing

Same rule applies, DO NOT go here until finished reading. They have "still reading" threads, but they only keep spoiler rules on the rest of the forums for up to 3 months after a books release, then if you venture off the still reading forums, you are screwed. Also, I would never trust a forum when it comes to spoilers. But there is an aspect of A Song of Ice and Fire that everybody must know if they haven't figured it out themselves, once you know it, or even the idea of it, the series becomes exponentially better and expands into a theory crafting sandbox. I'm dissapointed to say I didn't catch it on my own.

But read the books first or you'll ruin it for yourself. Also, if you are a TV show only person, you wont want to go here either. Maybe take a look at something involving the addition (because they show omitted these parts/clues from book 1 and 2 in the show, i imagine to keep it hidden entirely from tv viewers) of certain letters of the alphabet (ex. "A+B=C") that's it, and don't read beyond original posts or you'll probably find spoilers about later books.

This is an awesome thread. So much good writing already named. My favorite is:

Moby-Dick; or, The Whale

I liked it before I wrote my thesis on it, then fell in love with it while writing my thesis on it. I'll pick it up from time to time to read a certain chapter here or there. (chp 96 my fav)

It's just one of those books that once you get it, it becomes this recursive, ever self-defining, and self-redefining thing. Even the title. Very gnarly.

also, I want to play portal on this, and porn, that too
