I have read all the books, and seen the movie, but I have never seen the TV series. In my opinion, the movie did a decent job. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

I tested this, and as close as I can tell, it only works with Netscape/Mozilla. Edit: I just noticed that the destruction of TM's topic has created a five-month gap in my recent posts listings. Everything I posted between the beginning of March until the end of July is missing from said list.

quote:I knew that, but I thought that naming the multiple series would be confusing. Besides, it's not just The Belgariad and The Malloreon (The people are spelled with an A, the five-book series is spelled with an O :P ). The are also the two novels, Belgarath the Sorcerer and Polgara the Sorceress. Do not think to lecture me on the works of what used to be my favorite author ever. :P Not that I don't like him now, but there was a time when I could almost literally recite his books word-for-word.

Didn't we just recently have a thread on this, or was that just on Polaris? Anyway, in no particular order, some of my favorite fantasy authors: Stephen R. Donaldson, author of the Thomas Covenant books. (They may have an actual name, but it escapes me at the moment) The first book is Lord Foul's Bane. Donaldson is one of the only authors to successfully use a transplanted person from our world in a serious fantasy setting, as opposed to Terry Brook's Landover novels, which are also quite good, but are very much light fantasy. George R.R. Martin, author of "A Song of Ice and Fire", which is an epic story with incredible character depth. If you like epic fantasy, these books are practically a requirement. The first book is A Game of Thrones. Mercedes Lackey, author of the Valdemar books. Although many people would claim that her books are "for girls", I think she tells a good light fantasy story. The Valdemar series is quite large and branching, but I would suggest starting with Arrows of the Queen. David Eddings, another light fantasy author, sometimes criticized for godlike characters, tells a good tale nonetheless. I think Aran said it best over on Polaris (I think it was Aran anyway). "I like David Eddings, but I wouldn't want to RP with him." His best books are the Garion books, which start with Pawn of Prophecy. Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, specifically the Dragonlance Chronicles. Weis and Hickman write the core books in the Dragonlance world. Many DL books suck out loud, but Weis and Hickman's novels up through Dragons of Summer Flame are quite good. The first book is Dragons of Autumn Twilight. Harry Turtledove, author of the Videssos books. Turtledove started his books set in the world of Videssos with a four-book series about Roman legionaires transported from 1st century BC Gaul to Videssos. With most authors, this would be a pretty corny story, but Turtledove pulls it off quite well. The first book is The Misplaced Legion [ Sunday, July 30, 2006 19:57: Message edited by: Tyranicus ] -------------------- "Dumbledore returns from the dead and declares it to be hammertime, Harry proceeds to break it down, Voldemort is unable to touch this." —Dintiradan Spiderweb Chat Room Avernum RP • Summaries • OoC • Roster Shadow Vale - My site, home of the Spiderweb Chat Database, BoA Scenario Database, & the A1 Quest List, among other things.

For computer archival, yyyy/mm/dd or yyyy-mm-dd (or whatever dividing character you want) makes the most sense, as then files would be listed chronologically when arranged by name. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

Windows 2000 does not have support for many older games, as the OS was designed for businesses. However, if you have a relatively powerful computer, you might want to try using DOSBox. The DOS version of Inner Worlds is available here, and you can download DOSBox here. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

The newer versions of RealPlayer have an option to tell it not to spy on you. I don't use it at all though. I downloaded the Real Alternative codec, which allows me to watch real videos and listen to real audio in whatever player I want. -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the IE7 beta. After installing it, I had to reboot my computer. Bad idea. Windows wouldn't boot.
