Was it? I didn't know that.

But is there any way I can see it without having to be British and pay ticket monies?
I'd watch it just for The Doctor and Captain Picard.

>>1117853
Plus it gets people interested in Shakespeare who wouldn't be, yadda yadda.

>>1117839
Alright, I'll admit. I've never read Othello.
Why is he an angel?

That said, Manga Shakespeare is great, because I like how it takes Shakespeare and puts it in a completely different setting but keeps the text the same.

But there's also the fact that this is one of my favorite movies, and I wish more things updated old plays into modern times with the same dialogue.

>>1117734
Too bad.
>>1117745
The touch pad is a bit small, but since I already have a huge collection of WoD books in PDF format, I can get a lot out of a nook.
>>1117738
Could have sworn I saw something about the Kindle having a colour version, but I guess I was wrong. What's bad about Amazon, though?

>>1117723
>takes forever
Yeah. The nook guy's suggestion was to just get a blank PDF and annote it. Seems a little... obtuse.

The more research I do on this thing and the more I want it...

>>1117720
Really? They are all e-ink?
The guy at the store was saying that there was problems with backlighting for other e-readers. Guess that was wrong.

The Kindle comes in colour, doesn't it? If it's got colour and no glare, then I might get one of those instead. What kind of apps does THAT have? Because I really want a digital notepad that's easier and more portable than a laptop.

It's like the FUTURE is NOW.

>>1117703
Sounds good. I'm not really expecting to play any games on it, though I would like it better if it had a notebook function. A place to save notes on-the-go would be great.

What kind of apps are there? It runs on Android, and the guy at the B&N said that there were a lot of homebrew things for it, and that there was even a free e-book on how to hack the nook.

>>1117681
I actually DON'T want a backlit screen.
I hear that because of the backlit screen, other e-book readers are harder if not nearly impossible to read in the sunlight.
Or that guy just wanted me to buy a nook instead.

>>1117641
I should mention that /I/ don't actually know how to do anything other than put ISOs on the PSP. I had someone else do the actual hacking.
And he did it in a way that I can never update the PSP again.
And that my Disgaea saves were corrupted.

>>1117611
Says 5.50 GEN-03

>>1117597
Didn't work.
>You need a Sony PSP with firmware version 1.5. Other firmware versions are not
supported.
That's out. Someone upgraded my thing to a custom firmware, and I can't unupgrade it or change it. At least, not until the PSP goes to update 9.1 or so.
Unless I'm just stupid and it's telling me the game won't load for a different reason...

Let me try it again.

>>1117587
Also, I'll give Bookr a try. But I've disliked reading on the PSP.

>>1117587
>take your pic.
Well you didn't really give any indication of what you were linking to.

I'm not asking which is better, I'm asking what YOUR thoughts are. I'm already looking on Google for that kind of thing, but even on this slow ass board, I'm still getting something closer to a real chat than looking through that stuff.

(Well, okay, I'm actually looking up stuff on nook hacks. But that's because the nook is probably the one I'll be getting)

>>1117556
Got a PSP. I wouldn't dream of using it to actually read, though. Also that link comes up empty.
>>1117565
Well, I wish it was in colour and the 'e-ink' or whatever.

Doesn't the Kindle have a lit screen? And how much does it run for? Same price, or less?
Because this nook looked really good.

>>1117547
Huh? I live in Virginia. He lives in Iowa.

Long ride on a Greyhound, and I'm too cheap to buy a train ticket at $400 round trip.

Also, one reason that I'm cheap, but fine blowing my money on a nook (even though I still need to save up for a laptop) is because I can just pirate all the books... And they're a lot cheaper in e-book formate.

>>1117545
Oh, and what kind of hacks are there?

Is there a notebook app? Any games besides Sudoku and Chess?

I made sure to get one of the brochure, but I'm hoping some of you have actually gotten the nook and can give me first hand experiences.

I'm going to be visiting my boyfriend this December, and that means a 36 hour bus ride up there, and a 36 hour bus ride back.

I'm thinking about getting a nook to help pass the time. What can you guys tell me about it?
I was talking with one of the people at the B&N about it, and I noticed a few things that turned me off:
It's not in colour
There's no notepad
The keypad when there is one is tiny
And they said it was just the store version being slow, but whenever it flipped to another page, it showed an inverted version of the next page over the last page and then switched.

How good is it? Are other e-book readers better? Is the 3G worth the extra fifty bucks? Should I get a nook cover for another thirty bucks?

Got The Big Sleep at the library today, along with Poltergeist (Greywalker 2).

"You're very tall."
"I didn't mean to be."

in b4 I read this and my Moros detective starts talking like Phillip Marlowe when I play WoD.

...

I want to start reading Raymond Chandler.
What's a good book to start with?

>>1113757
Thanks.
The first monsters from Ashcroft are from a story, and it's meant to be a Survival Horror game. It started out as a story, WRITTEN IN SECOND PERSON, but everyone I showed it to was like lolsecondperson, just make it a choose yer own adventurebook.
I just wanted to try something different...
It's the kind of thing that I'm going to do writing for, but it's primarily intended to be a game.
Actually, I should be making the game this quarter, now that I think about it. Having at least the opening of Ashcroft done would be a good personal goal.

On Angels and Demons was just a random writing thing I did. I like doing that kind of thing. Just writing for writing's sake.

Phantoms is an old idea I had for a pen and paper roleplaying game that was supposed to be sort of like Fate/Stay Night, only instead of a battle royale, you were fighting ghosts. So I guess Fate/Stay Night mixed with Bleach, with the idea being that there'd be two PC types and they'd be partnered off. It was one of those RPGs that takes a lot of inspiration from different places, and tries to muddle up and mix it together. cthulhutech.jpg. I wrote the long thing because I'd been thinking about the latest WoD game at the time, Geist. Which had some of the same ideas, of fighting ghosts.

The List of Curious Objects is just more random writing. It was just something inspired by The Lost Room and the Holders series. I'd actually written some of them in a way a loooong time ago that someone thought they WERE Holders, but by now that's been fixed. The original reason they had special powers was that they just came from another universe (Actually, they came from a different setting, with a coin that could let you understand languages and a notebook that were both an extended reference to my Fantasy setting, and a Wolf 'object' that was one of the cu sith fairy hounds, ready to rip the living heart out of anything).

Oh damn you.
I clicked on this thread just because I saw the phrase nWoD game.
Shame on you, tricking me like that.


Also if he's a Mage read Mistborn. Or Dresden.
Manly books. But not the stuffy old things that /lit/ suggests.

And I suppose this. I'm not really sure what you'd call it, or how well /lit/ could give advice on it. I'm trying to compare things, though, and inform or convince people. I forget what the term is.


Thank you to those of you who did read my work. I appreciate it and would like to hear your thoughts.

Bumping this with one last bit of content to keep it alive to tomorrow.

This time I decided to do an essay. Just because.

But I've actually read excerpts of Twilight.

It does legitimately suck.


Unless the excerpts were also trolling...
