I think re-reading at least once is almost a requirement with me (assuming I liked the book). It is like a different experience when you know the outcome, and you pick up on things you might have missed the first time through, and also can see how things develop towards the conclusion you know the book will reach.

A very awesome movie. My favorite movie of all time. I love vigilantes!

Also worth a look if for nothing more than you can use it as an inside joke is The Wizard. Hilarious.

Rampaging along the mountains, carrying gilded boxing gloves, cometh Jansan! And he gives an ominous scream:

"I'm going to beat you until war is peace!!!"

And yes, libraries are censored, either directly or indirectly. Directly through the use of filters on the computers. Indirectly through book selection... our town library carries nothing that could ever be considered "controversial"... I don't think I even saw Huckleberry Finn on the shelves. Why bother to visit a library whose content is pitifully limited, and who doesn't carry anything socially interesting?
The place I used to live was terrible. Isn't Disney Land supposed to be "the happiest place on earth"? Well this was "the most ignorant place on earth." They had protests outside the public library because they were having a fun little book event for Harry Potter. They were screaming that Harry Potter was the devil or something ridiculous like that. When I saw it in the paper, I just shook my head in disgust.

They didn't take kindly to them there fancy book learnin' and ma-jeek-al stories.

Suffice to say, I'm glad I moved.

0 Servers you want O F F I C I A L    V A N G U A R D    F O R U M S
Jul 09, 2004 - 08:50 PM - by Jansan
Well in my view, servers should be heavy roleplay, except one or so for the powergamers, casual gamers, and people who just screw around in these games.

That'd be nice. After all, isn't this supposed to be an RPG?

0 Adults only server O F F I C I A L    V A N G U A R D    F O R U M S
Jul 09, 2004 - 08:37 PM - by Jansan
Given that age is a rather poor guideline for maturity in a goodly number of cases, I do not think that this idea would work too well. I mean it is an interesting idea, the theory is sound, but I do not think the results would be what is desired.

I'm over 21, and I would not play on it.

A more effective way to go around it, I think, is work from the opposite end: "Kids" servers, for exceptionally young children. Let the parents decide if their children will play on the kids servers or the other servers.

Then again, that will likely not work as intended either.

Hmm...

Personally, I judge people's maturities by their actions, not their ages, so neither idea is something I'd be on the boat for.

On another note, even though I've gotten older I still haven't changed my opinion that so many parents baby their children too long, think they are naive. A sixteen year old isn't a toddler (well, a few act like it but most aren't). I don't have children, maybe my opinion will change when I do. I don't think its likely though.

How about a jerk-filter, so all the people who ruin other peoples' games are forced to go to another server? Or better yet, their computer explodes. Ah, now that is wishful thinking . . .

0 new EQ2 movie O F F I C I A L    V A N G U A R D    F O R U M S
Jul 09, 2004 - 07:40 PM - by Jansan
I'm always more interested in the content and gameplay aspects than the flashy graphics.

Don't get me wrong: Good graphics are pretty and nice, and certainly add to games. Detailed, beautiful settings are always a plus. But when it comes down to what game I play, graphics are near dead last in consideration.

Which is why I still play Dragonrealms.

I love reading, and read often, when time permits. At my previous job I had alot of time to read, and it was great.

I suppose its possible I'd read more if there were no videogames, but I'm not sure since I've had both books and videogames for all of my life so that makes it hard to judge.

It wouldn't affect my vote in the slightest, but as others have indicated, it would most likely have an impact on a majority of voters.

Probably in favor of Bush, but maybe not. That is just a guess.
