@KT_Carlisle 2/2 But please, I beg all authors, whether you give a little description or a lot, please give it early. Nothing is more frustrating than having an author wait three chapters to mention Jackie's frizzy red hair after I've already decided she's a straight-haired brunette.

@KT_Carlisle 1/2

As a reader, a little description is nice. Just a little hook to help me come up with the rest. A large number of amorphous characters is a lot of work for the reader to create images for from scratch.

@LeroyD20 This was my favorite cartoon as a kid and I own it today and have gleefully shared it with my own children.

It's a wonderfully imaginative show with great heart.

People can like it dislike what they wish, but count me as someone who has always been enamored of this show.

@CharlesHawn66 The map is of Zork 1. We had a magazine with this map in it when I was a kid. I don't remember what the magazine was, but the picture is available online. The troll you see in the map is always exactly what I imagined it looking like as I always played with this map at my side!

[Frotzing @frotzing]

@CharlesHawn66 That's a great collection! Sorry for the late response, for some reason I just saw your messages.

@Vintage_RPG These books are great! I had all 4 as a kid and kept them well into my thirties, when they were destroyed by a flood.

Thankfully the Internet saved them in PDF form, but there's nothing like having the real thing.

Glad for you that you found a copy. Bivotar & Juanda forever!

@SierraChest The Hoyle Card games from that series is the best playing cards video game ever. I've never seen its equal. My wife, kids and I still love playing it. Great, great game.

(Even if Jasper cheats like crazy at gin.)

@ilovenostalgia Is there really a better option?

There was lots of talk about how Sybok wasn't the typical "evil" villain, the fun mountain scenes, Spock's cool hover boots and other things they liked.

Any adventure movie that can still appeal to kids more than 3 decades after its initial release is a win in my book!

I was thirteen years old when I first saw @WilliamShatner 's Star Trek V: The Final Frontier with my grandmother in the theater. I enjoyed it then and today I got to share it with my own kids (ages 13 and 11) and they enjoyed it too!

I opened my phone to find this quote with no context as a notification from Twitter.

I gotta be honest, it hurt a little.

@NarramoreArt A cat-sized cow would be pretty cute.

As for a cow-sized cat, I think we already have those.

@StirringDragon Maniac Mansion, my friend and I played that a lot.

I still play Infocom games with my wife and kids!

I can't decide which of these I like the most. The ones where @ConanOBrien actually looks like Tarzan, or the ones where it's just him wearing his suit in the jungle.

[Frotzing @frotzing]

I'm having too much fun with this.
