Eh...Hammett was better, IMO. Actually I found Chandler to be a big struggle to read, in general. Not a fan of his style.

*shock* howling1! ObTopic - I can't say I do a lot of meta-thinking in most RPG games; I roll with what it gives me. Yeah Severok's plan is stupid, but it was what the game gave me so I worked with it. But I think Irenicus, in general, worked better as a villain. Still haven't played much on SoZ; I've been sidetracked...

I finished it, but ultimately it didn't really feel like there was anything to it. Don't get me wrong, there was some neat stuff in it, but when I was done I basically felt like I'd probably never play it again. Also it was annoying having full towns following me around in luv/lust.

Most people wouldn't, although I guess if it was a job in a comic shop, he might be a shoe-in!

Yeah, we saw that not too long ago. It has a few almost-belly laughs, and is overall a cute movie, but it's not as funny as one might hope. But it's silly-entertaining. Yeah it was amusing; I enjoyed it but haven't really felt like seeing it again either

It was a neat game, but not as good as I'd hoped. Hopefully The Dark Spire will be more to my liking!

People looking for a job in the corporate world?

I got Etrian Odyssey 2, but I didn't like how it seemed to want to force me to have some of every job class to finish quests and move forward plus I got kinda bored with it.

w00t! Old school goodness! Hopefully my schedule will be freed up in March 09!

IIRC when they introduced the Speed Force concept they had West trying to escape the Speed Force and traveling back along his timeline until he became the lightning bolt that made his powers and using that energy drain on the speed force to put himself back in time. Or something. I wasn't the biggest Flash fan, and I haven't read the pertinent issues in years.

Didn't Wally West do the same thing? Become the Lightning Bolt that gave him his powers?

My point is that I (apparently wrongly) was interpreting the use of "legit" in quite a different way that you were, and in a way that was irrelevant to stats or builds or what have you. But since I seem to have wrongly read the relevant text I shall bow out of the discussion. I went the VATS headshot rout personally. Although I did get tired of seeing extreme mutant close up while I shot them repeatedly in the face.

I thought Josh's use of "legit" had to do with taking the shot and actually GETTING a headshot, as opposed to lining it up, having it look like a head shot but pull the trigger and get an arm or chest shot (or a miss entirely). Which I did a bunch of times, looked like a headshot when I pulled the trigger but either lack of character skill or movement of the enemy sent the shot elsewhere.

Just 58.4% which doesn't say much beyond I tend to watch trashier films than some of those that got listed. And there were a lot of modern dramas I skipped.

An intriguing idea. It also made me think that an immediate post-war Europe setting ala The Third Man could be interesting as a setting too.

It seemed to me that I was more accurate with sniper rifles outside of VATS, but I chalked it up to the fact that VATS pretty much seems to be a "fire the weapon until AP points were used." Which you could do with a sniper rifle, but the ideal use was to fire the rifle when using the scope. So my guess was that VATS didn't use the scope, so if I wanted the scope bonuses, I needed to do the scope manually (which as Josh said was usually sneaking to a position and then sniping unwitting subjects then switching to other weapons if I got spotted).

I imagine filling out any form that requires complete name would be tedious. I wonder what he considers his middle name? Is he casually known as Captain Combined?

"I'm the dude playing a dude disguised as another dude." It was amusing, but wildly uneven.

Hmm, I thought it was more of a borefest like Diablo 2, to be honest. I enjoyed Titan Quest, but its a total Diablo 2 clone. But I enjoyed it more than Diablo 2.

I liked Incredible Hulk although watching the cut scenes made me realize what a mess it could have been. I enjoyed Hellboy II a good bit, but its such a slight film, beyond enjoyment it didn't leave that much of a lasting impression (which isn't really a bad thing; I like fun as much as the next guy, but it seemed to lack the gravitas in the first film).

Ring, Spiral, Ring 2 and Ring 0: Birthday. Sort of an odd lurching collection of films as they try to be sequels to the movies and adapt books at the same time and in several cases end up working at cross purposes. First one is still a great little film though.

I'd have given props to Bush if he'd been hit by the shoe and responded by quoting Austin Powers from the first film: "That really hurt! I'm gonna have a lump there, you idiot! Who throws a shoe? Honestly! You fight like a woman!" Too bad he was too quick so we'll never know what he'd have done had he been hit.

Maybe you could be a shotgun and machete wielding zombie?

Moved to Seattle to pursue writing, I gather from Anthony Davis' post over at the Codex.
