    ... I LOVE the Princess Bride! :D

    It's right up there with Pride & Prejudice for me (I swear I'm not even joking >_>.).

    What are you currently reading?

    Haha thought as much :)

    and ahs I will keep that in mind when I go back to uni and have some free time then :) still working through various different books however haha

    I have to admit though it is not something I seek out but enjoy when I stumble across it :)

    I mean my favourite book is the princess bride, a comedy and quite old but absolute brilliant :) The original has underlying politics when you analyse it too but it's not the strongest component of the tale:P but there non the less :D

    Yes! :D

    If you do not already know of it; I recommend you read Issac Asimov's "Foundation".
    Now the entire series is split between 7 books, but the original alone is worth reading.

    Note: I love Dune ^_^.

    haha I tried when i looked through Lovecraft's short tales but I just cannot settle with it :P I can barely get by one of the scary parts in my favourite book xD I know a lot of people like them though :)

    Oh no, it's alright.
    I've made my peace with it.

    O_O.

    ... please, for the sake of all that is holy (or unholy, whatever floats your boat), read something of his. Like... "The Shadow over Innsmouth" or "The Color out of Space". :D

    sorry to hear that.

    and wow definitely starting to sound like a very interesting game indeed! XD

    and regrettably I can't say that I have read their stuff, though I have heard of them. Just bought Lovecrafts short tales for a friend of mine's christmas present xD

    Flicked through the pages when I first picked up the book but couldn't settle and read it :P

    It's funny, I actually got turned on to it by my sister, before she passed away a few months ago.

    Oh it is immensely interesting!
    Especially the religious take; they essentially have one religion which is a contrarian's perspective of Buddhism (they have the same journey [Koslun of the Qun & Siddhartha of Buddhism] & arrive at two different points; Siddhartha advocates personal isolation & non-violence in Buddhism, while Koslun advocates submersion & militarism in the Qun).
    While the Elven religion is clearly the initial concept that the Human's religion of "The Maker" was stolen from. Similar to Christianity & other denominations having many similarities to much more ancient & well documented religions.

    Ahhhhh~
    I read a few hours everyday :D .
    My favorite writers are still Leo Tolstoy, Issac Asimov & H.P. Lovecraft.

    Have you read any of their works?

    oh cool, that sounds really interestin! I have never played Dragon Age though :P watched my brother and bf play but never really tried myself :P

    but like the fact that you are getting to see both sides of the story, is it interesting then? :)

    and well types of books, I read an awful lot but I have a tendency to read a lot of fantasy books such as LotR as well as Sci-fi like star wars and Dune :D love comedy too though, I am an avid reader of Terry Pratchett's books as well as the Skulduggery Pleasant books by Landy makes me giggle to no end xD you??

    Dragon Age 2 :D .

    Since the 3rd game/last game in the trilogy is coming out this fall, I am finishing my first of 2 files on this one.

    In this play-through, I imported my save from the previous game, where I was a Elven Mage (more dialogue about the elven culture & the mages wanting freedom from the templars) & am siding with the mages on this DA2 file.

    On my other one, I will be play as a human who always acts snide towards mages & side with the templars. Putting humans & non-magic above all else. That way I will see both sides of the story :) .

    Hmm... what types of books do you read/enjoy?

    well forgive me for asking as I am a lil slow at times :P what is DA2? never come across this before,

    and well my conversations just tend to evolve as they go a long :) can range from anything like cup cakes to why penguins look like they are always wearing suits :P so easy going really,

    anything you wanna focus on?? :)

    Haha, well not particularly.
    But thank you :) .

    Hmm... well I will give that a shot later this evening.
    As it is, I need to practice my mapping skills for the Gen V games (as well as scripting, though that's a bit easier to grasp) & finish my current campaign on DA2 :D .

    Anything you'd like to chat about in particular?

    yeah true dude but I am sure you pull it off :)


    and immersion??

    well why not just give it a fresh start here and try your hand at one of the on going rps?? :) they're good once you get the hang of it and practice makes perfect after all :)

    Eeyup, truth be told; my only gripe is the issue with my hair & still going to school XD

    Those all sound fantastic! :O

    I have been asked, but never really been able.
    I always have that "beginner" issue of accidentally breaking immersion.
