You missed your 2,000th post too, Mr. Easy Street.

" I have to agree with you, but only because I loved Rey and Finn so much in The Empire Strikes Back.

...I just now realise that tonight may not have been the best night for this.

Hey, for the next 50 or so minutes (or maybe more?), I'm playing Studio Ghibli music at http://mixlr.com/probablynikki You've already missed some great Kiki's Delivery Service Stuff, and some Spirited Away stuff, but you should still listen,

So you're saying the English sent shiploads of criminals to Australia because they'd previously played Exile/Avernum? Neat!

Hey, it's nice to see one of my scenarios break at least one top ten. For what it's worth, here's my list: 1) Mad Ambition 2) Imagine This Scenario 3) Echoes: Renegade 4) Adrift 5) Lord Putidus 6) HIM 7) Rats Aplenty 8) Kill Them Dead 9) Tales from the Tabard Inn 10) Frostbite Bottom line: I like TM scenarios. I like them a whole bunch. I also like Lazarus's scenarios, because they're like TM scenarios. Also, Imagine This Scenario is almost perfect. The above are pretty fluid, but they're about there. They are all excellent. Also, I guess to rate my own stuff (can I do that? Do I care that it's crass??) I 'd say The Eternal is my nicest scenario. The atmosphere is plenty thick there. Then Twilight Valley, Discord, and TENG.

I mean, I think something like The Abyss aimhack would work really well. Base it around existing settings, factions, and characters, and have a story in an isolated part of the world. Leaves plenty of room for follow-up series, while delivering good quality stuff.

Sherlock has an episode out this Christmas, I think. As for Hannibal. Yeah, season 3 didn't start off all that great, and the constant sophomore philosophy had ALWAYS grated on me, from right back in season one. That said, if you can force yourself to watch until episode 4 or 5 it starts getting really good. Like, not quite season 1 good, but better than season 2 good. I really enjoyed it until almost the very end. Oh, and uh... I recently saw Merlin, which was fun and silly. I've also watched all of Futurama this year (even the disappointing last season), and we're slowly working our way through Buffy the Vampire Slayer - me for the fourth(?) time.

Assuming that this doesn't take place at ass-o'clock on a Monday night, I'm in.

Yeah, that's a pretty nice reference. I particularly like how the last line of the description and the song line up. Presumably, of course, you get to the old house through the cemetry gates.

It has been for 12 years!

As a Morrissey fan, I've suffered more than most for following a flawed artist. With increasingly less frequent flashes of brilliance in his musical career, I kind of hoped that Morrissey's literary career would recapture some of the old Smiths' magic. Alas, no. List of the Lost is a turgid slip of a book. One almost wishes it didn't exist, filled as it is with unedited garbage and ham-fisted language. As cutting as Steven Patrick can be (and last was circa 1995), the only thing you'll feel whilst reading this offering is the neutering snip of a Mancunian lad struggling with the big boy's thesaurus. I won't bore you with details - this review is already in danger of being longer (and more coherent) than the damned book - but for somebody so adroit at weaving fantastical lyrics of longing, List of the Lost is less full of wist, and more the self-absorbed (edited because I thought the autocensor would have my back) of a talent squandered and increasingly out of reach. Read Autobiography if you must - it's at least finish-able - but I'd stick with listening to The Smiths (and a slim handful of his solo work) whilst reading something more wholesome.

Just don't rub him into your eyes.

FWIW, I also remember targeting a 2-space monster with multiple arrows of a spell. FWFWIWIW, it's been 10 years since I last played an Exile game.

Hey, it's like you're taking the words right out of my mouth - and I'm only in my late 20s!

Hannibal continues to be excellent. Not as excellent as it was in series one, but satisfying all the same.
-
Almost as melancholic and haunting as the best that Ghibli has put out. I found it more watchable than some Ghibli movies - and I'm probably this forum's greatest fan of these movies (I concede that Slarty is probably a bigger Spirited Away fan). Definitely watch it if you can.

Yeah, creatures picking up stuff is definitely an Avernum thing. Also "Avernum 3 was my favorite, but only because I was too young to know quality." Avernum 3 IS quality, friend. Third best SW game.

I'd definitely be up for it, but I imagine sessions will start long after this one's bed time.
