Troll Lord Games

I'm half excited by the prospect of a truly awesome Thor movie, and half chilled to the bone by the idea of just how truly horrible it could be.

<t>I wonder<br/> <br/> Anybody care to speculate on the cost of mass-producing a glossy, fold-up poster-like version to include as an insert with the game? Or by contrast, a folding heavy board?<br/> <br/> (Y'know, for later, when the game is a $24.95 boxed set that people are fighting, clawing, and...

Y'know, DangerDwarf, every time I see your signature line, I can't help hearing

We get the funniest looks from everyone we meet
25 Bonus Karma Points to the first person who can provide the next line.

The Wonders of Science have just brought us a new toy that should be excellent for putting down prison riots (among other things).

It's been jokingly dubbed The Puke-Saber.

OK, checked again at Staples. $4.20 per sq. ft., so $16.80 to print the image. Not bad.

Which means Kinko's price is 238% of the Staples price.

Gee, I wonder why Kinko's has been losing so much business in the last few years it's a genuine mystery, all right.

Friggin' thieves.

I just checked a bunch of other places, and nobody charges as much as Kinko's it still isn't cheap, no matter where you go, but everybody else is cheaper so yeah, apparently Kinko's are a bunch of thieves.

<t>For anyone who's interested, you may now download<br/> The PIT (Full Color, 300dpi) 1.5 17.74mb<br/> <br/> Changes from the 1.0 version:<br/> 1 - It's now 300dpi instead of 150dpi. (I was surprised by how little difference that made in the file size, but it should improve the printed appearance.)...

<t>I hadn't considered that anyone might take it to be professionally printed but if anyone wants to do that, I could provide the arena as a single large graphic instead of chopping it up. That way you could have it printed as a single large sheet, and no cutting and assembly would be necessary; and...

<t>At first, I considered only doing the B&W no-frills version (figuring people might want to conserve their horribly-overpriced color printer ink); but I just couldn't stand how boring that plain old hex grid was, so I went ahead and made the full-color version.<br/> <br/> Good thing, too. Appa...

I do know Brad Paisley. Saw that video for the first time last week. Funny video and song.

I'm not terribly fond of country music in general, but I like Brad Paisley. (For whatever it's worth, I also like Alan Jackson.)

<t>Rhuvein had posted about TLG's new Cleaver the Pit game, and wondered where to get a cheapo hex map to use for the arena<br/> <br/> Well, why use a cheapo map when you can use a custom-made one?<br/> <br/> For anyone interested, you may now download<br/> The PIT (Full Color, 150dpi) 1.0 12.28mb<b...

What's wrong with hot dogs? Don't you like dog lips and rat droppings?

Oh, I agree, I was just pointing out I could help if you wanted.

That might be a good alternative if Treebore's bandwidth can't handle too many downloads although I can't imagine this PDF being all that popular.

serleran wrote: Heh, the company I work for has a way to do it too. Not a website, though, more like a direct means for those you specifically want to allow access... I found a couple online services that will do that sort of thing but I didn't want to make it necessary to register for anything, or...

If you could host it Treebore, I'd be very grateful! The PDF isn't too big, only about 1.8mb. If it helps, I think all you'd need to do is put it on y...

I've got a PDF I'd like to make available to everybody on the TLG Forums. However, I don't have a website on which to post it. Anybody know a good way to distribute it?

Seriously. Don't.

You'll pay for it.

<t>Seriously dude, King of New York is the most awesome Christopher Walken movie EVER.<br/> <br/> I particularly enjoyed the scene where he informed the Mob that he was now in charge, and would be receiving a cut of all their criminal rackets henceforth and a very foolish greaseball named Artie Clay...

Christopher Walken is a fantastic actor. Weird, serious, comical, bizarre or . . . all of the them together. I love his work.

Last comment - Deer Hunter, you must see it.

Try King of New York.

Please check your e-mail, Steve!

<t>Looks sorta cool but I'm a little disappointed by some of the casting choices. For example, although Angelina Jolie is certainly HAWT, she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag; Crispin Glover doesn't deserve to be in any movie at all (if the world was a fair place, he ought to be scrounging th...

If I were CEO of TLG, I'd hire two people.

One to answer emails. That's all. No cons, no writing or editing. Just answering emails.

I don't know whether to laugh, applaud, or cry.

Nice to know I'm not the only one, though

Nope. Now he just has to wait until that "integral, non-replaceable" battery dies on him, just like the early iPod batteries, so he can go blow another $600 to replace it.
