I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.
Wow that must be before he started on the epic fantasy stuff.
I'm reading Charles Stross' Halting State. A near-future novel about a bank heist in a game like WOW. Difficult to read because it's written in 2nd person so it feels like you're in Penthouse Letters without the sex.
man i have that on my wishlist. isn't the premise something like institutions using gamers to do illegal activities? how's it thus far?

It's actually good once you get around the different points of views. Because it's a near-future setting, the ideas he put forth are already around now, he just took it to a silly extreme. It's basically a conspiracy novel with these hapless characters who were embroiled in some Chinese plot to hack and destroy the EU. The protagonists had been participating in an alternate reality game called Spooks 2.0 (like NIN's Year Zero or Halo's I love bees) and had unwittingly been manouvered by government agencies to do their dirty work. I actually plan on re-reading it.
