I wouldn't mind promoting Novacrow either, but I can guarantee I would be sacked. My Facebook might say I work at witchcraft as a mercenary, but, like university girl friend being a dark elf, I made that bit up.

Apparently you can purchase FF t-shirts from Amazon.

@Gavin

Is there an economic crisis going on at your end? I always thought we were all holding high-tech nerd jobs, and that we are irreplacable to our bosses...
On another note, what's Novacrow? I may need to brush up my nerd credentials a bit. :-)

I've said too much. I definitely work at witchcraft. That's what happens when you get 2:2, even with an MEng (Hons)0Oxon.

Novacrow are a goth metal band from Wolverhampton though they studied at Liverpool. They are amazing talents and I support their efforts wherever possible.

As for economic crisis though after watching them at Metal days, Megadeth at Bloodstock and Sister Shotgun at Bridgnorth all my cards are maxed out. Alex Sanders supposedly magicked up a vast fortune,but I didn't.

In other news Anthrax Breathing Lightning is dead good and like much of their stuff is based on Stephen King more science fiction material.

One of the freeware CYOA sites made me consider sharing the news. I started working on my own solo-adventure, and I can report that:

- Usage is easy. Even a non-programmer can learn to use it within a maximum of 2 hours.

- FF adventures can be fully implemented, if you know a mini-software for the dice rolls, or use the depicted dice like in the originals on '.jpgs

I think it is a decent step forward to increase the author's reputation, as your solo adventures are complete, while my own barely started.

I hope it becomes a good experience for those who check it out, too.

You are more right than you know. Ever heard Sad But True by Metallica?

Which reminds me of Megadeth's Dawn Patrol, my preferred band by far. I did try to order Port of Peril at Dudley library.

It is VERY basic, but i finished my first self-made survey on fantasy fiction, FF, and CYOA!

Portal of Peril requires a parody.

Where's Basil Brush when you need him

'That what happens when you get a dodgy 'port' to another format, spelling mistakes, you see...WHA-HA-HAHAHAHA! Boom, boom!' BTW, I love Basil Brush and his laugh. But they seem to have toned down the new version of him.

Gavin

There's a new version? Sweet holy Astarte why don't we have Roland Rat and Lord Charles team up with new versions of Minder and The Professionals ? Is nothing sacred? Inanna WEPT

They might just do that with Minder and many other golden TV series. 'Survivors' was first televised in the mid-1970's, for example, and then remade for the 20-noughties. They've also done a TV series based on 'Lethal Weapon' duo Riggs and Murtaugh (but played by different actors). I'd wish they'd show old Basil Brush shows from 1970's on Digital, just like BBC Four's 'Top of the Pops: 1984' (or whatever year they decide to play). Ah, how I fondly remember that neon pink record exploding during opening credits! Thursday nights were a treat back in those days. Sacred. However, I would also add that there have been some fantastic shows over the years, up to present day. Years from now people will be looking back at Game of Thrones and others.

There was already a remake of Minder with Shane Ritchie or such nonentity,it lasted six episodes.
