I enjoyed the first book, whether good or bad it did have me yearning for a better understanding. Trying on the second book and I didn't even finish it. The beginning is very gripping, but then he starts head jumping and I lost interest. I suppose I had expectation of a specific style and...

I have a nephew who just turned two a month or so ago and observed very much to Joe's experience. The smart little guy, with mere moments without a pair of eyes on him, was very frequently able to dismantle or outright avoid baby-proofing. Silence was VERY often a signal of him getting into or...

I've never been, so I'm hesitant to comment. I tried to go this year but when I checked MONTHS before July, it was already sold out. My friend went in 2010 and I didn't hear much at all about comics. I'm not by any means a comic buff, but it would be my main interest to go. The original geek...

I also enjoyed the movie Thor. Loki was mildly scripted in the sense that his rise wasn't very ingenius/inventive, but I enjoyed the character no less.

This thread is a bit dated and next to redundant now that we have a showcase forum. Closed!

Jeff Lindsay is the author. I haven't read the books either, except I hear the books are significantly different as far as characters go. Like one of the characters that remains in the show was killed off in the books early on. Dexter is definitely an engaging show from the start, but this last...

Seconded. I've tried Firefox, IE9 and Opera and always run into some kind of snag that sends me back to Chrome. The thing I hate is that I use too many google services, ie Gmail, Android, Google search, Chrome. With all of their data mining I'm sure they know more about me than I know about...

Television was a gimmick, it was and is just a visual form of communication and entertainment. Back when communications technology was still relatively primitive, of course tv seemed like a gimmick when its black n white with like 6 channels. Many people probably DID get tired of staring at a...

Lets be real here, do not downplay the differences between men and women. Likewise, men and women tend to be more alike in some aspects than credit is given. Even if its entirely socially driven from infancy, it is still a fact of life. As for the OP.. our brains are conditioned to prejudge in...

Its not that it absolutely wouldn't work. It just comes down to how you capture it and how you are trying to sell it. Its steampunk, so what? How relevant is it and what makes it central to the story besides the concept being 'cool'? To me it comes across as pretentious to try to sell...

Sex is an extremely delicate matter in any story for many reasons. IE, publishing, varying perspectives of sex, and the overall ability of the writer to tastefully integrate it. First of all, if you plan to make attempts to publish your work, who is your audience? And how intense or graphic is...

3D is a gimmick, I don't care for it. The Hobbit will be seen in 2D. We need SMELL-O-VISION!

The only one I played on a console(ps3) was Demon's Souls. All I can say is I am amazed at my self-control, nothing was broken during the countless deaths and restarts. Think action rpg with brutal, old school consequences to dying. Running an entire level multiple times, we're not talking 4...

Its definitely a niche market. Steampunk is not really so much the storyline as it is the aesthetics of the world in which the story takes place, so trying to sell a book on that characteristic is tough. I love the idea of makeshift, inventive machines (even if they tend to be clunky and...

Definitely the right place to post. Very informative. Thank you! +1 I've never been a believer of real time travel, but it can absolutely be a fun concept in fiction. Who knows, maybe some day I'll be proven wrong. =)
