Mort is excellent! Great pick. Haven't read the second one you posted, though.

I'll probably end up owning them all, in the end.
Especially since Pratchett is now writing with the speed of about a sentence a day. :'(

I'm reading Eric right now, it's excellent, as expected!

My favourite part thus far goes something like this:

"They are specialized in horology."
- "Oh wow!"
"Measuring time and all that."
- "Oh" :(

Best Discworld one I read was "Guards!" (dunno the real english title). Great plot and humour there.

If I had to pick a favorite I'd probably go with Interesting Times or Jingo, although you can never go wrong with the first two Discworld books.

Soundtrack to the Half-Life 2 mod called NeoTokyo. Artist is Ed Harrison. I bought it from cdbaby.com.

The entire album is amazing but check out this song:

Underworld is thankfully geared heavily towards exploring with very little combat.  So much more like Anniversary than Legend.   As you know I'm one of these noob TR fans but I liked Underworld best of the three - the new platforming abilities are great.

I've been playing Anniversary for a couple of days now, I'm at Midas' Palace and I love how they reduced the number of enemies. There are less enemies than the original! And Legend was filled with too many gun shoot-outs or animals. I was hoping that the following Tomb Raider games would follow the example of Anniversary and by your post this may seem what Eidos is doing. Awesome. Although I'm not entirely fond of the engine of these new Tomb Raider games, they feel too cheap. It's like I'm playing Prince of Persia.

Exploration, platforming and puzzling should be the main focus of TR.

What happened in the alternate ending?
Title: Re: WDYB: Come on Boritos!
Post by: Bocsius on July 04, 2009, 12:22:28 AM
There was an alternate beginning to go with it. Basically, the beginning has Jason searching for Marie in that Greek seaside village. He gets sent in her direction, but collapses before he makes it (so apparently the movie is one big flashback). The ending has Jason waking from the flashback in a room with the white haired CIA guy (can't remember the character's name) inviting him to rejoin them "voluntarily" as "the world had changed." He then tells Bourne where he can find an unharmed Marie (they picked up her trail 3 months after she left France, and years had passed overall) and the movie ends with generic guitar-singer dude while Jason walks to Marie and they embrace.

They had this alternate beginning/ending idea after 9/11, thinking public opinion would now be for shady political assassinations and shadow ops. They did modify the original ending to the movie (apparently there were to be explosions), but at least they didn't go this other route.

Bought:

150 watt energy saving bulb ($9) - Now all my lights are energy saving bulbs.  Now I can read in bed.

Simpsons Season 4 ($15) - Saw it cheap at Walmart.  They had all the other seasons there but Season 4 is my favorite (with Season 6 being a close second) so I decided to get that.

Brita water pitcher - My water has some particulates and tastes like chlorine.  Bought the pitcher to improve the quality of the water.  It has so far.

I've only spent about $100 of my bonus money if that.  u mad?

Not because I'm an audiophile or anything, but just because they had a lot cooler album art back then, when you had a bigger canvas to work with. This is what I ended up with:
