I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree completely. They are written in a different style than we're used to today, but they're masterfully done. To me, the movies are largely good adaptations, but the books are far superior.

But that's the nice thing about taste: everyone's entitled to their own.

That is relevant to my interests. I'll have to pay a visit to Baltimore.

Good thing real life doesn't follow videogame logic

I'm keeping with the season: "I've got socks smarter than you!"

Two, maybe 2.5. Season 4 was a disaster IMO. I've got it on DVD but haven't even bothered ripping it.

Oh man, that reminds me of a place near me that does palak paneer fries. It's like Indian poutine. Amazing.

I bet they've got websites with RSS feeds. Pick up an RSS reader and subscribe to their news & announcements page.

Neat, thanks for sharing!

Their Cyborg is really great. Takes some time to get the muscle memory, but it really does the job well.

Do you think we could ever have that future?

That's interesting, but personally, I don't see a lot of point. I'm totally willing to learn about other people's workflows and use cases though. I just have a hard time envisioning a need for two pointers at once other than edge cases like resizing lots of windows or something. Maybe 3d modeling, for better moving/rotating control?

In most cases, it seems like the way to get more efficient is to stop using the mouse and fire up a terminal. If you just want more buttons on your mouse so you can have a full keyboard, maybe try the Azeron Cyro? I haven't used it personally, though I do use their Cyborg for games.

I think they tend to be more interesting too, yeah.

I'd rate them about the same, personally. Though Brooks is at least just derivative and juvenile; Goodkind gets increasingly self indulgent.
