The original of this is in the Ponce Museum of Art, only an hour away from me. It's one of Puerto Rico's most treasured pieces. Great choice!

I think I got to the seventh or eighth book of The Eye of the World before stopping. I still kinda want to finish, but damn, he started going off on some seriously boring book-long plot tangents somewhere around book 4. And there's gotta be like 200 characters to keep track of at that point, too. Big commitment.
I thought up to book 7, it was pretty good. Book 8-10 are weak (10 is actually the worse one, you can skip that and not miss anything since the plot did not advance at all).
But book 11 was great, RJ must have listened to his fans and actually closed up many of the plot points left open since book 9. He is sick so he planned to finish the series in 12. I am not sure how he is going to do it since there are alot things unresolved, so we will see.
BTW, anyone here has an opinion on Just Cause (360)? I found it cheap at CC but didn't want to get it if it sucks.
It looks nice, has some neat game mechanics and huge world. But the game itself is very short, becomes repetitive, and doesnt control all that great . Worth to buy cheap but no where at full price.
Shit I never check. But I like TNL's opinion, esp those who have finished the game :)
Hope this game doesn't suck:

I've been looking to get Skygunner for a long time now. Its one of the few games I'll spring for during my no new games phase.

I thought Viz was bullshitting when I saw Monster on the ship list, but I'll be god damned when I saw it in the store. I would consider them gods if they kept this up.

Found the 360 arcade gamestick today for $10. It was "used" but came with all the Live Arcade game codes which hadn't been used yet. I've already got Frogger so the first TNLer who PMs me a good reason why I should give it to them gets the code.

You can get it for $15 or less on eBay. This was the first one I've seen in a store in quite some time. It was actually priced at $15 but they had a buy 2 get 1 free deal going on.
