    Currently Reading: The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman

    Obviously, being book 3/3 in that trilogy I'm reading it because I read the first two.

    Not good enough? Poo.

    Fine, I'm reading this particular trilogy because my younger sister, who is tow years younger than me, recommended this trilogy. Not only that, she also let me borrow it from her. I had them in my car for about two months before deciding to read it. Actually, it was because they were in my car that I started reading them, because I was away from home, bored, and needed something to do. So I started reading, and have enjoyed it since. Not only are these good books, but they are making a movie trilogy, with the first set to come out this coming December! w00t! I'm reading a trilogy BEFORE it starts hitting theaters! Go me!

    EDIT: Finished the book last week. I must say I enjoyed the trilogy. Not quite the ending I was expecting, but a very good ending. Lots of surprises along the way. Read these books!

    OLD SKOOL - A positive appellation referring to when things weren't flashy but empty of substance, were done by hard work, didn't pander to the lowest common denominator, and required real skill. Labour-saving devices, shortcuts that reduce quality and quitting before the task is done are not characteristics of "old skool."

    In reference to computer games, refers to a game that had substantial playability without flashy graphics or eye candy. Old skool gamers appreciate difficult maneuvers, careful planning, and scorched earth policies.

    In reference to role-playing games, old skool refers to games that tested players' wits, could kill off careless characters, and required dedication and inner strength to play. Old skool games didn't pander to the ideas that everyone is created equal, that all options are open to all races, that the markets were somehow free, and that a quasi-medieval society could have near 100% literacy.
