Spider, gaming, Age of Reboot
May. 28th, 2003 03:01 pmSunrise Analemma: "38 separate exposures (and 1 foreground exposure) were recorded on a single piece of film"
Scientists Struggling to Make the Kilogram Right Again: "In the last few weeks, he has reported that his experiments have yielded data that are close to what they need. 'Now we're into the picayune, itsy-bitsy errors,' he said, having recently corrected 'totally ridiculous' errors of 100 parts per million."
Went and saw Spider at the Lyric Monday night. ( Spoilers herein ) Overall it was a well-done film (except that the scenes of Spider's madness rather dragged at times) but I don't have any real desire to see it again. I think I'm glad that I've seen it. It was a waste of neither my time nor my money. It's certainly not for everyone, though.
Tuesday night J & N came over and we discussed summer role-playing. I may wind up running more Amber later, or maybe Fading Suns. In the meantime J will be running a Star Wars game in which we are a defecting Imperial crew, complete with ship. Should be interesting.
Also on Tuesday I tried to play Age of Wonders II on my 'puter. It got as far as displaying the splash screen and the attempting to do something else, and then it rebooted. Very odd. After a bit of halfhearted wrestling with it, I decided to save the Age of Reboot for another day. Maybe I'll try it again sometime.
