I don't think it's snobbish, I've read a few of his books, and there's certainly nothing great about them from a literary point of view, but that doesn't mean that they're bad entertainment. It all depends on what you look for in a reading experience. Yes, I've read Crime and Punishment (but...

Composers: Rachmaninov's piano works are hard to beat, although a lot of what Franz Liszt did come close and Chopín is also very good. I prefer Bartok and Sibelius over Shostakovich when it comes to "modern" composers although he's good, and I'm also fond of Györgi Ligeti's work. Wagner is the...

There's something seriously wrong with a sentence that contains the words "great books" and "Tom Clancy" in it. I'm quite fond of the works of Dostoyevkiy myself, particulary The Idiot and Brothers Karamazov, I've read some of Tolstoy as well, but don't think he's of the same class. Gogol...

Soros is an interesting character to say, the posterboy of capitalism turned the selt proclaimed posterboy of anti-globalism. Of course, I don't like him, since he is very much responsible of making every Swede a lot less prosperous.

I think this shows how blunt a tool polls is, rather than a clear majority for or against the death penalty.

Nice, I'd like more Planescape: Torment music though, that game had some of the best music ever.

Yes, I know who the guy is...

Fun stuff...

Depends on what you mean by "better", performance wise the SR6 is on the level of many sportscars, with the driving comfort of a sedan.

Interesting, Sean K. Reynolds was brought on to work on the Jefferson D&D game, right? Now he's in creative control of the next Fallout game, talk about a shift in setting. Anyone familiar with his PnP work?

Maybe someone made him an offer he couldn't refuse?

When talking about Audi, SR6 is the only way to go. @Puuk: Thanks for letting us know

I never said that VB was doomed because of this, just that I doubt it will have a positive effect.

Well, we don't really know how MCA's departure affected the development, but having the lead designer jump ship is bound to have some effect.

www.duckandcover.net It's another fansite.

Death penalty doesn't work plain and simple. It's not an deterrent for violent crime, it kills innocent people and is even more expensive than life in prison due to extensive appeals process which is needed. Unless you want to do like China, and execute them hours after the "trial". Death...

:shock: Didn't see that one coming, the prospects for Fallout 3 just grew smaller I think.

Too short definitely, and the original ending was better. "There Are No Happy Endings". Yeah, right...

Of course, it should be noted that the Fallout Bible was done by Avellone, who is no longer with BIS, so it's no guarantee for anything. I'm still not convinced by J.E.'s ammo argument, but I see no meaning in pursuing the issue further.

Like I said, New Zealand looks like a grand place, the United States ain't a bad place either. Personally, I'm fond of the south, since I was an exchange student in Mississippi a five or so years ago. Hawaii is great too, if you're into beaches. Australia seems very nice as well, but personally...
