Had it been my kid, I might have appealed the suspension. And taken my son out for a beer.

Surf's not the only thing that's up.

Comment on An imporant message from the global entertainment industry (2009-02-24 16:00:31)
@warren: In fact, here's an example of what I mentioned -- PDF sales pushing hardcopy sales up: http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2009/02/in-which-an-electronic-version-of-sunken-treasure-goes-on-sale.html "Over the next 24 hours, I checked sales every hour or so (hey, can you blame me?) and I watched total PDF sales close the gap with print sales, but something really awesome was also happening: the print sales, which had slowed to about 2 a day a month after release, suddenly picked up!"
Comment on An imporant message from the global entertainment industry (2009-02-24 14:42:12)
@tiki god: Yup. It works with books too. There have been several titles I've bought as hardcopy because I liked the PDF enough. Giving content away for free on digital channels, if it's quality content, increases sales. As for HoChunk's question: Reproducing others' material is irrelevant to rights, but the right to be entertained is almost surely a human right ("pursuit of happiness"). With large corporate entities wanting to sever internet connections for those they call "pirates", the issue of human rights does in fact become prominent.
Comment on Howard the Duck (2009-02-05 15:41:53)
It wasn't that bad. And the soundtrack was actually rather good, particularly the parts by Thomas Dolby.
Comment on Suck It and see it's magic (2009-02-05 13:51:38)
Yeah, but ... banana and toffee?
Comment on Call of Cthulhu's Reach (2009-02-03 14:16:10)
I got that last year and loved the hell out of it. Reviewed it too: http://indigestible.nightwares.com/2007/08/31/cthulhu-ftaghn/ The HP Lovecraft Historical Society also did a radio-drama version of At the Mountains of Madness (also reviewed here: http://indigestible.nightwares.com/2007/09/22/welcome-madness-say-hello/ ). In addition to period dramas they make and sell some rather convincing props. Nice for HPL nerds.
Comment on Keeley Hazell's England Shirt (2009-02-02 17:43:06)
"Just close your eyes and think of England." "Umm, do I have to close my eyes? I mean, I really don't want to close my eyes. I mean I think I can think of England with my eyes open just fine, thanks."
Comment on Conspiracy Socks (2009-01-15 16:38:10)
Thing is, those socks would actually have had to be made in Saudi Arabia.
Comment on Pink Tank Top (2009-01-12 18:09:50)
@dieAntagonista: Yes. Yes, it is. Though the other parts ain't too shabby neither.
