**** **** ****. EDIT:

Ok... If you say so...

Wow, you really like "saying" ****.

Yes, you are wrong. My goal was to run a good game and my primary focus was on making sure the other, original players – id est those who I had actually played with before, started the game for, and knew would stick around for the duration– got a game that was on par with others I have run. We had already had half a dozen sessions or so before the other people joined so they were, frankly, the least likely to get the game catered to them. To put it another way, the Twilight fans were an afterthought, we simply overheard them talking about the series on the way to where we were meeting between classes, we had picked a time that would accommodate that, and decided as a group that we would invite them for a lark. Sure, I could have asked Laura not to act in-character during that encounter, she was playing the aforementioned Nosferatu –her favorite bloodline and one that she does rather well-, but seeing as the two newer players had willing chosen to venture into her lair I decided that I would let the scenario play out without interference as this was a fairly player-run game with the storyteller only interjecting if they, the players, consistently started to far from the central plot. Was it the nicest thing I could have done? No, of course not. Do I feel any regret about how it turned out? Nope. In fact, I feel things turned out quite well and would not change anything about what happened.

Ayn Rand was a moron, or at least enough of one that I have no problems labeling her as one.

I actually invited a few Twilight fans to my last Masquerade pen-and-paper game, I had found them in one of the common areas of my university and decided to have some fun, with fairly predictable results as the first play character undead they encountered –I had offered to let them start as ghouls or fledglings but they had, for some reason, declined- was an extremely well done, sociopathic Nosferatu who proceeded to maul one and turn the other. Needless to say that the poor girl, upon finding herself a grotesque monstrosity, the antithesis of her beloved “Eddy,” did not continue for long - although, interestingly, the other fan actually embraced the game and became a decent enough player by the end and will be invited to the next campaign. Maybe because you're a **** DM. And maybe you're a **** poster. But, seriously, the fact that one of them stuck around, not to mention the fact that they turned out to be a decent player, was a pleasant surprise. I am not sure if the same group is going continue into the next game seeing as it is a Cthulhu universe scenario and not a Masquerade setting –most of the players mainly do world of Darkness- but I suspect more than a few of them will. Anywho, I suspect you really don’t give a crap, and were simply trolling for the lulz, so this is unnecessary and superfluous.

Great book! EDIT: I actauly bought extra copies when I found it on sale so I could give them to freinds, that's how much I liked it.

Hey, I was helping another person who got caught by a smoker. Yeah, but you also set it off before we were ready!

I'll be buying it on day one unless the DRM is really bad.

Yeah... If you have people covering your ass so you don't have to worry about zombies biting it.

Twilight - Worst. Anne Rice - Bad, but not THAT bad. Harry Potter - Meh, nothing great but not as bad as the others.

Maybe because it was bad? Lulz. Wot? There are not "a lot of quests" that are not "mundane, predictable, linear and simply unmotivating." Sure, I can think of a few but most of the game was utter druggery.

They did. Advertisements were being handed out like candy on Halloween and all a publication, or website, had to do to get some of the cash was give the game a good review.

Yes, Oblivion was overrated and hyped – I thought everyone knew that already.

What are your specs? Do you have an intel chipset and/or Vista?

No.

I died.

Some L4D pics!

Congrats Kor!

Except Vista was ok and Windows 7 is on par or better while Fallout 3 was not that great and Oblivion was even worse. EDIT: I might pick up at least one upgrade once it comes out - or maybe before that, there's some good deals now.

DDO is NOT going free. They are simply switching to a business model in which you pay for stuff instead of a monthly fee. You can buy the items but you are not required to.

D&D Online is going free so that might be a good option, and Guild Wars is good as well.
