It Feels So Good to be So Bad

Mon, 2 Apr 2001 01:40:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - I remember first picking this book up a few years ago. I had learned of Satanism through an obscure link from a philosophy site that I was reading. At the time, I was searching for an ideology, and found Satanism very intriguing. What is Satanism? The...

A 50s book that's Aces.

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 01:31:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - Robert A. Heinlein’s The Puppet Masters is truly one of the strangest books I’ve ever read. Published first in 1951, my copy happens to be from 1978—which I divined from the Science Fiction Book Club advert printed and bound plum in the middle of...

The Doors of His Face will suck you in

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 02:04:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - I love the work of Roger Zelazny. If you’re a frequenter of my reviews, which I doubt anybody is, but if you are, you’ve probably noticed that I almost exclusively read books that I like. I’ve wondered if this might be a weakness of mine, as some of the...

The Aesthetic in the Unexpected

Tue, 20 Mar 2001 17:01:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU -

I love everything from Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle, the coauthers of this book. Time and time again they've come together to write wonderful books. Writing about people as well as science, they manage to do each justice in their average book...

Crystal Express: Crystal Express: A Real Trip

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 00:53:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - I first fell in love with Bruce Sterling when I read Distraction, one of his more recent "science fiction" books. I put science fiction in quotes because, unlike many authors of the early boom of sci-fi, Sterling tends to focus on people,...

Archived Games Reviews: Daggerfall: THE Classic RPG

Mon, 8 Jan 2001 22:01:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - Enter a world of high fantasy, magical races, and the occasional nudist. At four or five years old, Daggerfall is still my favorite computer game. Why do I come back to it time and time again? Perhaps it's for the freedom that allows you to create nearly...

Ishmael: A life changing book

Sat, 6 Jan 2001 05:32:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - Up until November, I had dreamed of being only two things during my high school career: a Computer Scientist or a Physicist. Ishmael rocked my world.

Three months ago, a friend handed me a book. I had listened as he and his girlfriend...

Gemstone III: Gemstone III: A Zircon

Sun, 24 Dec 2000 02:36:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - Grab your swords and shields m’Lords and Ladies. Embark on quests of untold glory. Find your fortune.

OK, sure, but if you’re not careful, it will suck away your time and money. Abandon all hope, you risk not your head, but your life. This is,...

Amber: A Real Gem

Sat, 23 Dec 2000 04:15:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - My apologies for the corny title, but Roger Zelazny’s Amber series really is some of the best fantasy I have ever read. Filled with wry, one line humor, fully developed, mostly natural scenes, and an engaging story line, it is also an easy read.

Cliche Yet Cool

Thu, 21 Dec 2000 05:01:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - After asking to borrow the car, I called up a posse of my D&D playing friends as well as a hot female friend, who's way I ended up paying in. It was the typical teen outing. Perhaps you had best keep this in mind while reading my review. In essence,...

An OK first experience

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 01:34:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - This summer, I received my first job; I was hired by the local school district to service their computers full time. Even before I received my first paycheck, I decided to check, if you will, into checking accounts. After visiting Washington Mutual’s...

Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam 3: Oh so cute, but not worth it.

Sun, 1 Oct 2000 00:46:42 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - It was the spring of 1999. I had money in my hands and yearned for new toys. CD-RW drives were still out of my price range. This is how I came to buy Creative Labs’ WebCam 3.

Features: USB/Plug ‘n’ Play compatibility, 15fps at 640x480, 30fps...

All-In-Wonder indeed!

Sat, 30 Sep 2000 23:16:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KGZotU - I bought this card because, as the title says, this card does everything. Cheaper and easier than an ensemble of less competent cards, this seemed to be the perfect choice for me. After reading a few reviews, I decided the 16MB PCI version was what I...
