Other Points of Light

- Old School is a classic IMHO. Will Ferrell is THE comedy act of the past 5 years IMHO. From Turd Ferguson to Dog Show to that teeny-tiny spot in the DVD menu of Zoolander, the guy is just funny. Plain and simple. Hilarious moments from Old School: Ear Muffs followed by "Cock! Balls!", the Master of Puppets abduction scene, the "You're crazy, you're crazy, man." scene with the dart in the neck, "I had an AWESOME time!", "Fill it up aGIN'! It just tastes so good once it touches your lips!", and others. I own the widescreen. Ryan owns the fullscreen, but we won't get into that right now....

- Made was absolutely painful. Terrible perfomance by both actors. Terrible story, everything just reeked. Vince was SOOOO over the top bad.

- Mike?

- The new alternative players handbook Arcana Unearthed by Monte Cook is really really good. From what little I have read and from what I have heard from Jon, the some of the good parts are as follows (that I can think of, I'm sure Jon can add to and elaborate on): True names - everyone has a true name (kinda like demons from first ed.) and some spells will only work on you if your true name is known to the caster. Both good and bad spells are effected, which means that you need to trust whom you share your name with cause they can help you out as well as hurt you. Neat idea. Race Levels - you can choose to take levels of either your class, or of the race you are (not all races). So you can be a better fighter, or you can be a better giant, your choice. Neat. Spells - Each new spell has a weak and strong version of it. If I understand correctly, you can cast a 4th level spell using either a 4th level slot for normal effect, a 3rd level slot for a weakend effect, or a 5th level slot for an enhanced effect. Neat. Monks dont Suck - monks suck in 3e. The Oathsworn are way cooler. At certain levels they can choose not to eat, sleep, breathe, or even die! And their AC bonus at 8th level is better than +1..... stupid monks.....
