I'm undergoing the same process and started a topic over here. I've run into some unexpected downloading trouble, though, so have started experiments with the game files I already have. Plugging the preferences files into the appropriate folders seems to work as far as keeping your registration goes, but there are some unusual things that happened with the applications that I'm still trying to figure out. I'm not sure if thing seem different just because it's on a different computer, or if the program has been unbalanced somehow in the transferring process. The main thing is that all the colors are too dark, but I'm also having this problem with most of my JPGs, so who knows? By the end of the week I'll be bald from tearing all my hair out...

quote:I read a lot of Farmer several years ago, and have about 25 of his books. He's not one of my favorites anymore, but lately I have been tempted to re-read some of his novels. His best was probably *Dark is the Sun*, which everyone else seems to detest. quote:For years now I've visited a certain used book store, and every time I'm there *A Feast Unknown* glares at me from the shelf asking me to buy it. So far I've resisted, since I don't know much about Tarzan or Doc Savage and wouldn't enjoy all the nuances of the work without having the appropriate background. Also the blurb led me to believe some of the story would be far more disturbing and revolting than Farmer's usual fare. quote:Another one that I haven't read because I lack the proper reading background. It's sitting on my shelf, though, and still calls out to me from time to time just to be annoying. quote:I really enjoyed the first one, and have all three. Or are there more now? At any rate, the hero of the series seemed very much a traditional VanVogtian uberman, one reason why I enjoyed the first in the series so much. quote:I feel that Farmer failed to use the amazing premise to its full potential, and was too content to let the books deteriorate into a series of repetitive adventures. A recent book, and one in that *Doctor Who* spin-off series called *Faction Paradox* that I mentioned earlier, that uses the same idea to far better effect is *Of the City of the Saved...* by Phil Purser-Hallard. It's the third in this series, but you only need to have read the first *The Book of the War* (a weird dictionary-style anthology edited by Lawrence Miles) to understand it. The second *This Town Will Never Let Us Go* (by Lawrence Miles) was a stand-alone work that didn't have much to do with the main story. You might enjoy it. As a matter of fact the publisher recently had a big sale and I bought duplicate copies of the whole series. If you're interested, I could mail you the first three books, and if you don't like them you can send them back. If you do like 'em, you can keep 'em! quote:*All-Consuming Fire* by Andy Lane. A smoosh between a traditional *Doctor Who* story, Sherlock Holmes, and H.P. Lovecraft. It even has pulp-style illustrations throughout. Certainly one of the more entertaining of the series.

Oh goodie! I love it when things hit the fan! (Story-wise, anyway.) I really do hope Jeff makes at least a dozen more Geneforge games. I love the blend between SF and fantasy, and as a history student have always been fascinated by how power corrupts. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

quote:Incidentally, this putative flying blimp monster reminds me of a Philip Jose Farmer novel I once read: *The Winds Whales of Ishmael*. This was supposedly an SF sequel to *Moby Dick* if you can believe it. I know that makes it sound like instant rubbish, but Farmer carried it off quite skillfully. By page 20 I had already stopped thinking of this Ishmael in terms of Melville's. And the central idea was rather interesting: hundreds of thousands of years in the future, all the seas have dried up, so the creatures of the deep have taken to the skies. Most of the book is routine adventure, but the setting was done with such imagination and flair that it's well worth reading. Besides, it's only 128 pages long — and Farmer apparently wrote it in one week — so it's not as if you'd be sacrificing a significant portion of your life by reading it. It doesn't even have chapter divisions! quote:My personal favorite is "The World Between" — using ecology and terraforming as a weapon. Unique and brilliant concept, with a superb ending. quote:I've heard of it. It's been on my millionaire's shopping list for quite some time. It's good that so many publishers are doing this sort of thing: Robert E. Howard is another, with Wandering Star and Del Rey reprinting his work as he originally wrote it. I've heard that even Lovecraft is being given this treatment, after the horrid things that the well-meaning August Derleth did. quote:Oh yes. Van Vogt wrote some real stinkers all right. They all have. It's unavoidable when you're writing for a living. quote:Too true. The only authors who have written SF in recent years that I enjoy are Iain M. Banks, Jack L. Chalker (who died just last week :( ), and... Someone else I can't think of at the moment. I also enjoy those *Doctor Who* novels put out by Virgin in the early and mid '90s, and then by BBC Books after that. I know, hardly the most literarily respected form of fiction, but I've found the stories enjoyable and many of the premises surprisingly original. Lawrence Miles in particular is a star author in this area: he recently created a spin-off series called *Faction Paradox*, with new novels published once or twice a year. But what they lack in quanity they make up for in quality. Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

I was just trying to convey how goofy the server must be to do such a thing. And actually, I've just run across the same problem on another website entirely. So it must be a broswer bug.

I'm using Safari to download the latest versions of the games that run natively in OS X (as per Drakefyre's suggestion in another topic), but have twice now encountered a weird download bug. For some reason, my broswer just keeps on downloading data after it should be finished. In other words, once it's finished all 14 MB of the BoA .bin installer, the progress bar freezes and the count keeps going up, saying things like "15.4 MB of 14 MB". I figure this has to be a bug in Safari, because this same thing has happened with two different downloads. Anybody have any ideas on what the heck is going on here? This has got to be the freakiest thing I've ever seen an otherwise sensible browser do. :eek: [ Sunday, February 20, 2005 16:13: Message edited by: Icshi ] Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |

quote:Nice to know there are other people on these boards who know who van Vogt is! I've that had signature for a while but you're the first person to make mention of it. I don't think there are as many SF readers here than I first assumed. Jack Vance is another one of my favorites. I particularly like the Dying Earth saga, the Demon Princes novels (especially the second and fourth), *Space Opera*, *The Languages of Pao*, and *Nopalgarth* (aka *The Brains of Earth*). But to get back on topic: I don't expect anything really fancy to get from one island to another. The usual methods of bridge, boat, and underground cavern are the most likely to appear. However, I would be greatly delighted to see something new and unexpected (such as the afore-mentioned putative Shaper-created being that inflates like a balloon and you can hang onto its tail and go soaring up and over things — that would be niftiness supreme).

I'm expecting each island to have a small metal dome that is constantly rotating, and you need to make note of which eye symbol each has written on the outside in order to get the associated color from Gehn's survey room, then solve the marlbe riddle to get the power machine working, so each dome will uncover a magic linking book that will take you to a separate world where you can access individual books to link to the different islands... Or perhaps rusty tramcars that zoom around over the sea... Or maybe not. [ Friday, February 18, 2005 18:43: Message edited by: Icshi ] Posts: 907 | Registered: Monday, July 15 2002 07:00 |
