Taken from AIM exchange:
Lhadatt: bwhaha.. the scurge of the evil game shall no longer inhabit my desk.. http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/...924944-5823056
*sound of approaching thunder and pouring rain*
DArqBishop: The storm approaches.
DArqBishop: You have angered the gods.
Do not turn your back on that which is Neverwinter Nights...
(Quick clarification: Lhadatt and I live in the same neighborhood. ;) )
:lol:
I have truly sealed my own fate! Woe is me!
:D
What the hell...
Jeremy: There are several thunderstorms currently in our area.
why does this look like spam? :p
*
oh, i think i...uh.. get it..
Hey, I didn't post it. ;)
he's selling Neverwinter Nights... which angers the gods
FINALLY, this makes sense.
I wish it would rain harder!
....yeah....
The rain passed over us pretty quick. It didn't make for much of a storm.
Erm.. Why was this moved into Trade Depot? I wasn't advertising anything.. jeez.
If anything, it ought to be moved to Sound Off...
EDIT: Thanks Bahn.
so what's the status on that klonoa2... ?
I was just glad that it did not knock out our power down here in Sugarland like it did last Monday in the middle of Monday Night Football and my online Quake Arena CTF match! That pissed me off - I don't mind power outagaes when I'm at work for example, but when I'm at home relaxing it is not kosher. The gods then have angered ME!
You should get a power back-up for your computer so you can play Q3 in the midst of black outs.

Ashen: check your PM.
Yes. Power backups are a must. As are heavy-duty generators.
heh.. I could use a generator.. but I just spent $275 on Easton Press' The Hobbit, Silmarllion, Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and Return of the King. The Atlas of Middle Earth is next.

Why stop there Omni... why not get the first editions of those... and if possible try to find signed first editions of those... the ones printed in england. That will only cost $70,000.
I could buy a house here with that much.. Damn though... I'd like to read a 1st edition... see the changes that were made.
I was impressed with those numbers too.. actually, it's 70K for an English Signed First Edition of just The Hobbit. I'm sure it's more for the rest... I guess that really depends on the seller but surely they are appraised higher... and I highly doubt anyone could have the Silmarllion autographed. Seeing as how Tolkien died well before it was published.
I should clairfy that not only are those (really expensive ones) first editions they are first printings.
Mine are re-prints by Easton Press bound in leather w/ 22 karat gold.

Doesn't it suck that all the cool things in the world go to rich people, regardless of whether they can really appreciate it or not? Ah well. I could settle for a lot less at that site. Very cool stuff. :)
Don't worry, omni, you can go here and you'll be just as happy.

Is it? I thought so at first but I thought that language used a whole different set of characters.Quote:

"One ring to rule them all"Quote:

I may be a little off, but that's what I gathered from the movie.
I have the leatherbound version of all three books, but I have yet to read them since it seems so many fans of the books hate how PJ has changed the story for his movies. Once I've seen all three I'll jump in and read them.
I have read the Hobbit three times though.
Just remembered part of the rest of that saying.
"...One ring to find them, one ring to (something) them all and in the darkness bind them"
Am I close (besides the something part)?
You're close.
And Tracer those are some mucho grande sweet books.
Will look nice on the shelf I'm sure.

Three rings for the elven kings high in the sky.Quote:

Five for the dwarven lords in their halls of stone.
Nine for mortal men doomed to die.
One for the dark lord Sauron on his throne
In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.
(What's sad is that I did that from memory, so it might be a tad off in a word or two.)
"..under the sky.." <grin>
No Sauron in there either.
"One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them"
It's just these two lines. :p
Well, those two lines are inscribed on the One Ring, but I thought I'd throw the whole poem out. :)Quote:

I stand corrected on the goofs, though. :)
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
Thats the phrase in dark speek.
Now... what's my signature?
One of the many poems scattered throughout the trilogy. If you're gonna ask me what book and what chapter, then I'm stumped.Quote:

And I'll be damned if I'm gonna go through all 3 books looking for that particular one. ;)
You are right. I would have also accepted "It's from Summoning's Lugburz" as well.

I've got a question for you Tracer. Have you read The Silmarllion yet? I'd love some impressions. I thought about reading it about a year ago, but just never did, and now you've piqued my interest.
It takes place before the trilogy, correct?
It takes place mostly in the 1st age and has some characters you're familiar with. Eldron, Sauron and a host of elves (Noldor elves) make for the meat of the story. There is tretchery, there is betrayal, and there is above all the pursuit of power (by Sauron.. wonder if he gets it..) to change what they see as ill. The prime mover and evil force in the story as it has been pieced together is Morgoth... the bitch that stole the sacred light from the trees :/ The Silmaris or something. It's good... you should read it.
ºTracer
Cool.
I'll definitely try to get my hands on that.
I just grabbed myself the audio book. :/ I'll be reading/listening in a bit, once I finish a reread of Fellowship.Quote:

Martin Shaw.
Meh.Quote:

Some guy reading the book for me just feels like it would do nothing but annoy me. Unless he had a voice that was just perfect for the story or something.
Well Omnicloud, it's doubtful that I'll be listening to it the entire time... The damn thing is thirteen discs long, after all. I just though it would be nice to have for any parts I may have difficulty interpreting. It's sometimes nice to have an outside voice reading you something you don't understand. Besides, I'm really starting to enjoy everything Tolkien, and I'm pretty much buying everything I can get my hands on.
LOL, Omnicloud.Quote:

Yah, you have a point about not interpreting a part of the story or something. I'll stick with the standard text though.
If you are serious about getting all the books and you want a good deal, you should join the Science Ficiton Book Club. They have (last time I checked) all the books on hard back and at a good price. Full Binding of LOTR 17.99 , the Sirblahblah 12.88. , ect. So far its the cheapest way I know to get the hardbacks.
Oh yeah, its been such a long time that i almost forgot one importent thing. When you sign up you can pic 5 books to get for a buck, plus shipping. If you wanted you could get all of the books for a buck.
I don't know if you want to do that though, you have to buy 4 books in the next 2 years.
Boy, we've hijacked this thread. :D
The thing I tend to not like about the Sci-fi book club is the fact that the hardbound editions are for some reason smaller than normal. What's up with that?
hmm, well the LOTR full binding is bigger than the 28$ one Books a million carries. But I imagion they do it to save on shipping.
Yeah, but those are not Leather Bound. I like Leather Binding.Quote:

It all depends on what the cover looks like. I hate that all the bookstores only carry the ones with pics from the movies on it. They just don't look as "official."
If I was gonna get em I'd probably go all out, or as far out as I can go...
