The RPG market must be somehow connected to the price of natural gas. Six months ago I paid $2.90 for a gallon of gas and got a complete CSWE for $40. Now I am paying $2.20 for a gallon of gas and I see this. It is a damn conspiracy I tell you!

Or maybe I have been watching too much TV lately.

No...that's a dang silly price.

After a month hiatus from ebay - I hate it when life gets too busy to even hit the internet - I have noticed that there are lots of newbays buying up early TSR stuff. Lots of people with feedback under 20-30 are winning consistently...

And I could've bought these damn modules off the 1$ rack!!!

(ahem)

Golf. Ryder Cup. Europe vs America.

Not sure what the right word is... Would it be: "complete wondrous victory and total crushing annihilation of the other side?" or perhaps a somewhat pithier "whitewash", or maybe an even shorter "TPK!!"

Maybe you guys would do better if golfers had to wear helmets, ridiculous shoulder pads and you could carry the ball forward instead of having to hit it in a straight line...

Go Montgomerie!!!!!!

PS. not actually a golfer myself, just using
a wonderful opportunity for some gratutious flag-waving
and the building upon cordial transatlantic relations :wink:

Has anyone else seen the preview for a new movie coming out this xmas called Eragon? Saw the preview today and it looks very promising. The fantasy action remind me of The Chronicles of Narnia but with a much darker tone. You can check out the trailer here:

Eragon - Movie Trailers - iTunes

I just hope Jeremy Irons does a better job of acting in this movie than the craptacular performance he did in Dungeons & Dragons.

yeah i saw the trailer a short while ago - been following its production for a while. looks promising and could potentially be a pretty cool film.

it has its own webpage btw which tells you a fair bit more about it...i think apple links you to it from memory.

Speaking of funny...or retarded....whichever you prefer.

Has anyone noticed the name of the new member? Looks like another spambot. Most of the user accounts that get created when these bots hit the site are pretty generic. This one pretty much says it all I think.

Guys, you are always so quick to dismiss a potentially good thing. It might be one of those "loose female gladiators" we've heard about.
