Come to think of it, this page might be useful in an In Nomine game, too...

Who was it who initially posted a thread about discussing this book my Austin Grossman? I thought it was Valles, but I can't seem to find anything that looks right. I finished the book last night and wanted to jump on in...-- Bob

One of the primary differences between the Left and the Right is their attitude toward the Future. The Radical wants the Future to have gotten here yesterday. The Reactionary wants the Future quietly shot and the corpse buried where no one can find it.

at least according to the mandatory diversity training at the University of Delaware. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has excerpts from from the University of Delaware Office of Residence Life Diversity Facilitation Training document. FIRE also has an article about their fight against this indoctrination, which gives more (IMO, disturbing) details about this indoctrination.

In case folks don't know, last December, a fully-featured playing version of the videogame "The Last Starfighter", from the movie of the same name lo these many years ago, was released for free to the Net. If you go here, you can download a copy. You can also see the videogame cabinet these folks have restored -- not the original from the film, sadly, but a copy made for a recent documentary.-- Bob

I don't know why I'm posting this -- everyone will have gotten the email by now, just like I did. But I'm posting it anyway.
PlayNC has just acquired 100% ownership of COH/COV (it was previously split between them and Cryptic). The COH dev team (or a goodly portion of it) has moved over to PlayNC to continue updating/revising/etc. the game. Press release here.
Hopefully this won't mean much to us on the playing level, though there is always the chance a game will get horribly borked when the suits above it change.
Anyway, more interesting, I think, is the other news the email held. To wit, the following are coming at or about the same time as Issue 11:
1. Full access to both sides for everyone. No more having to buy each game separately.
2. Debt wipe. Sometime after the release of Issue 11, all debt will be "forgiven", allowing everyone to start with a blank slate.
3. Supergroups will get 20,000 prestige for each member they have -- yes, that's 3 million prestige for a full group.
Okay, discuss. -- Bob

I'm at the point where I'm only picking up a few anime series on DVD: Zipang (one disc left), Hare & Guu Deluxe (one disc left), Ah My Goddess (two discs left), and Zegapain (just started). Lucky Star doesn't start its R1 DVD release until next year. but that'll go on the list when it does.
I'm also only downloading three series: Denno Coil (six eps left), Oh! Edo Rocket (six eps left, but appears to be stalled), and You're Under Arrest Full Throttle (just starting). Yes, I intend to buy them all on R1 DVD when or if they become available; I wouldn't be downloading them otherwise. (I've already bought the Oh! Edo Rocket soundtrack CD.)
That's a pretty sparse list for a maniacu...
Given that, my posting history here, and my current 20 favourite anime list, what do people think I might like that I might not have seen? They don't need to be new shows; I know I haven't seen all the good anime that's out there, despite how much I have seen.
