    I am just not cut out for scary books....

    When I was kid, movies like IT etc gave me horrible nightmares but of course I still watched them. Now I am 25 years old, nightmares are a thing from childhood.

    Dark Tower graphic novella

    I went to the bookstore looking for these, has anyone read them or have an idea how good they are? I think they are going to have slightly different stories and twists than the books and would like to see the storyline since it is approved by king. Anyway, I didnt see them at the local borders.

    What is news anymore? What should news be?

    It seems at least once a week I check digg.com and it is full of worthless little tidbits about rocket boots or someone figuring out how to shoot dogs with laser beams or something equally ridiculous and uninformative. The tv news is filled with Paris Hilton stories as well as airlines kicking...

    Neverwinter Nights

    Well I just recently beat baldurs gate 1/2 all these years later. I really loved the games and also played all the mods for them. I knew neverwinter nights had mixed reviews but I figured it was released by the same people so it had to be good. Man, I played it, shut it off, played it shut it...

    has digg.com hurt or helped content?

    Many internet forums seem to be losing their sizzle nowadays. Most of the replied to posts are just rehashes of digg.com entries. This is not an atot issue its an issue with all forums across the net. The only original content seems to be the random girl problem or mortgage inquiry. Was...
