"Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without." -The Merovingian (Matrix Reloaded)

Alright, you've already heard a couple words from some German-speaking guys, let's add another one: Mohr. It's how black people were called in our region in medieval times. Mohr has since been replaced by Neger which is mostly used colloquially. Older people use Neger/Mohr interchangeably and...

"Never back up. Your opponent can see what's behind you. You can't." -Cain (Heroes Die, Acts of Caine 1) "We do naught but scratch the world, frail and fraught. Every vast drama of civilizations, of peoples with their certainties and gestures, means nothing, affects nothing. Life crawls on...

Remember the Titans: Trevor Rabin - Titans Spirit

Yeah, you don't even wanna know how much I paid for a copy of Blade of Tyshalle. Since 2008 Blade of Tyshalle (Act of War) is available as eBook over at Amazon. That's Ian Irvine's Three Worlds Cycle which consists of The View from the Mirror quartet, The Well of Echoes quartet, and The Song...

Deus Ex: Human Revolution may fit the bill.

Light side. If I don't have to work for it, it's meaningless.

The Faarseer trilogy and The Tawny Man trilogy. Didn't read the others but these two are brilliant.

Thought about that too, of course. Decided against mentioning it because quite a few people hate Goodkind for this series. His books are filled to the brim with Objectivism and then some (*hint* Faith of the Fallen *hint*). The first book -- Wizard's First Rule -- is easily the best so there's...

This! (Don't forget the tie-ins by Esslemont) Then there's Matthew Stover's Acts of Caine. Simply stunning. Easily one of the best series I've ever read -- an instant classic. Nobody does action better than Stover. Also try Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy. This one's gritty. R...

Try Carmen. You may have already heard Carmen's Habanera somewhere.

My hair started going gray in my early 20s. Now, 10 years later, I sport almost totally gray hair. Funny thing is that I only dyed my hair before it started changing color of its own volition ... I don't care about the color, though. Almost all the women I've been with found it more attractive...

David Weber: In Fury Born Brandon Sanderson: Warbreaker, Elantris Neil Gaiman: Neverwhere, American God's Stephen Baxter: Timeships Matthew Reilly: Contest (You have to like his style, though.) Timothy Zahn: The Icarus Hunt Joe Abercrombie: The Heroes (Yeah, it's part of a universe but you...

Totally agree with that. Shadow of the Colossus: You just gotta love this one. God of War: Oh my. Seeing him there on the throne, still a tortured soul and filled with rage and hate. Nice one. Probably would've chosen this ending just for the homage to Conan brooding on his throne.

Yeah, it's one of life's biggest mysteries why I chose to waste my time here rather than elsewhere ... Truth is that I don't like Facebook simply because everybody is trying to make me sign up there. And privacy concerns. And world peace, of course ;)
