Welp, it finally happened. Someone mistook my book, H.P. Lovecraft The Complete Fiction, for a bible.

Welp, it finally happened. Someone mistook my book, H.P. Lovecraft The Complete Fiction, for a bible.

Read to them from the holy tome.

Ia Ia Cthulhu ftagn

[FearfulJesuit]

I just bought another book.

OK, to put this into context:

My family have a lot of books. My nuclear family, that is.

Then I came along. I'm extremely bookish. I've spent most of the past two years acquiring a library of 600 books.

(My parents have about double that. Apparently I have more books than my dad did when my parents got married, which is scary, as we're firmly middle-class, I have never had an official job, and I'm only 17. But then again, I rarely spend money on anything else.)

Now I'm in Finland, where I have an American debit card with $550 on it. It's strictly for emergencies, as using it here I'll have to pay through the nose. I just used it to order myself (well, a friend who's keeping it) a book from Amazon...

Books are good. Although the last time I was in a bookstore alone, I ended up spending over a hundred dollars on books.

[Knight of Fools]

E-Readers are nice for this reason. Holds lots of books, you can buy them from the website and download them as long as you have a computer with the Internet, and it's a little bit more transportable than most paperbacks. Also, most of the classics are free, and you can find a lot of good free/cheap books out there besides.


That generator thing led me to a Good Idea Generator.

"Find true love by leaping across rooftops." - What is this, Assassin's Creed?

[Vorthon]

"Save the kingdom and end the rebellion by jumping on a table and wearing impressively shiny armor." - YES. That is the best idea ever.

Cladun X2 was just released on Steam. What is going on!?

[Aklyon]

Cladun X2 was just released on Steam. What is going on!?

As in, the sequel to a PSP game? That Cladun?

Yes. That one.

NIS America now has a developer entry on Steam. This can only be good.

[Aklyon]

Probably bad for your time, but otherwise good.

[Flying Dice]

Another one of these? I'll bite.

Pay for room at the inn by being really really earnest and poisoning the wine.
Pay for room at the inn by throwing fireballs.

I'm sensing a pattern here.

Overthrow the evil overlord by wearing a funny hat.

Sounds plausible.

Breach the castle walls and get rich quick by poisoning the wine with the help of the supposedly reformed thief.

Sounds very plausible.

Impress the king and rescue the princess by making outlandish statements and blowing things up.

I assume the impressing comes from not looking at the explosions.

Avoid paying taxes by setting things on fire and jumping on a table.

Oh, how I've wished...

[Vorthon]

Slay the obnoxiously smug vampire by eavesdropping and punching that guy over there.

Does it still count if that guy is the vampire in question?

End the zombie plague and defend the camp by leaping over the wall while yelling a war cry and drinking heavily.

Why do I have a feeling that dwarf came up with this plan?

Save the family homestead by juggling and swashbuckling with the help of the mysterious stranger.

Swashbuckling + Juggling = Impromptu trip to the ER. Or something really cool.

[Realmfighter]

Cheat death by being fired from the catapult with the help of a supposedly trustworthy mage.

There is not one thing in there that is a good idea.

[Darvi]

Impress the king and rescue the princess by making outlandish statements and blowing things up.

I assume the impressing comes from not looking at the explosions.

Mythbusters: the RPG.

[armeggedonCounselor]

Now I kinda want to see this happen.

Storm the castle by jumping on a table.

It's only a model.
