Tale

Additional limits on raise dead are divine intervention (at 2 points actually, a god must approve the spell, then a god could get in the way of it working, which is to say if the DM says "no") and the subject being willing. It's reasonable that it would be limited to only those who are particularly in favor with the god the spell is being requested from or if they're a companion to such a person who is involved in a dire quest. And if the god whose realm the dead person will end up in is okay with it, too.

The Two Swords by Salvatore. When I finish this, I might give Good Omens the second read it's deserved for over a decade.

Wow, me too. You and I have a lot in common. Speaking of Mephasm, 1/3rd the characters I try to play are a rip off of him, including the main character I'm trying to get into a game of D&D 4e with. I like the character, needless to say.

*crosses fingers hoping for the return of Mephasm*

Poor adaption? The only way an adaption of a Dead or Alive could not be well representative is if it didn't feature ninjas and jiggling boobs.

Yeah, they finished season 3. There's also season 4 airing in Japan currently. I was at Best Buy recently and saw Samurai 7 for sale. Then I noticed something. It's Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7. It's based on his classic film Seven Samurai! I had to buy it, but I'm afraid to open it. Any opinions?

Final Fantasy games, pre-XI, had no visible enemies on the world map, instead doing random encounters (with "invisible triggers" as you might call it). They've only had one title that wasn't an MMO that featured the world map behavior you speak of.

He's from Illinois. That explains it.

woosh

Got it on Blu-Ray. I'm considering getting Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut.

Does my character see a dragon?

Consider yourself lucky I consider myself double lucky! I distinctly recall enjoying the movie when I watched it. I just don't remember why.

Mortal Kombat (August 18, 1995): Good Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (June 15, 2001): Good Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (July 13, 2001): Not Bad Resident Evil (March 15, 2002): Not Bad Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (July 25, 2003): Good Silent Hill (April 21, 2006): Good+ Final Fantasy VII Advent Children (2005): Good+ Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994): Good+ Street Fighter Alpha: The Movie (1999): Good+ The Pokemon movies are pretty good, too. At least back when I watched them. Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (November 21, 1997): Worst movie I've ever seen Street Fighter (December 23, 1994): Terrible Doom (October 21, 2005): Bad Resident Evil: Extinction (September 21, 2007): As bad as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. BloodRayne (January 6, 2006): Sci-Fi Channel Original bad Super Mario Bros. (May 28, 1993): Don't remember Double Dragon (November 4, 1994): Don't remember Resident Evil: Apocalypse (September 10, 2004): Not worth remembering Video games can make excellent action movie or action/adventure properties. The problem is they seem to attract terrible directors and screenwriters, looking to make a quick buck on a name.

I'm looking forward to it. EA is weakening my boycott. Well, they did that with C&C3. I think I should make it only an "attempted avoidance if other games are out worth buying."

I ended up buying season 4 recently, since I missed half of it. Good stuffs.

It's very unreasonable. World of Warcraft's success is unreasonable to assume or really aim for, period. Doesn't matter who is trying. Everquest was never that popular.

Hard to be succesful if your standard for success is unreasonably high.

The chainsaw gun?

I didn't mind the crappy story and characters. I did mind that the PC version was twice as long as it should be for the limited variety in gameplay. But that's not a fault unique to Gears of War. I'm still surprised that Valve felt the need to include yet another "pick up object with gravity gun, drop it in hazardous water, jump on it, pick up other object, drop in water, jump on it" sequence in Episode 2. Seriously, people. Stop this ****. I don't care how fun you think the sequence is, I can only take so much of doing the exact same thing in new environments.

Morrowind was cool guy.

Haha. I just can't take either of them seriously enough to feel the need to put them on ignore. I do it automatically.

I love Dark Messiah.

Don't you mean TSR?

It's not too bad, though. LOTR Orcs are Dark Elves. But in most other settings they're not. And in the classical (Norse?), I believe dark elves were dwarves.
