Here's my amazon.com wishlist, which is probably the only wishlist I have that's even marginally up to date. (This isn't a shameless plea for gifts, just info for family & friends who will soon ask for this anyway.) Update: and here's Carrie's wish list. 2:46:35 PM (comments [])

From BoingBoing:

Harry Potter/Luke Skywalker/Frodo Baggins

High-larious cutup and remix of the Harry Potter/Luke Skywalker/Frodo Baggins origin stories. The wish-fulfillment hero with a thousand faces and $50B in combined merchandising revenue.

Two Neverwinter Nights Expansions Revealed [via Blue's News]

I really need to dig into some of the fan-created stuff. Ironically, NWN inspired us to get back into pen&paper D&D (which has been fun), but the PnP stuff has weaned us off of playing NWN. I have high hopes that the imminent release of the Mac version will get me back into it; I never turn on my PC, so I'm never tempted to noodle around with module creation.

I also have high hopes for the expansion packs, since "...one of the add-ons, The Shadows of Undrentide, [is] co-developed by Floodgate, [which is] said to be comprised of several former members of Looking Glass." (Emphasis added.) I lurv those Looking Glass guys; their alumni are also hard at work on Deus Ex 2 and Thief 3, both of which I also await with bated breath. 12:03:50 AM (comments [])
