I started this in another thread but thought it warranted one of it's own.

I would very much like to see Gia become a stronger person in the series. She's already seen enough crazy shit, almost lost her life and her daughters numerous times. [SPOILER]Hell, they even ran Gia and Vicky over with a truck.[/SPOILER]

Now we know she's going dark [SPOILER]as shown by her paintings in BTS[/SPOILER]. I think its time that she has to pull the trigger herself. And NOT in defense of Vicky. We've already seen her motherly instincts take over when she faced a Rakosh and when she took the stain. No, I want to see her have to kill another human being. And if she was put in that situation how would she react afterwards?

On an almost ( but definitely not) feminist note, I would like to see her have to save Jackie boy for once. I wannt to see the non-Barbara side come out for once.

What are your opinions?

[SIZE="3"]A while back I gave the folks at Starship Sofa[/SIZE] (http://www.starshipsofa.com/?PodcastID=608) [SIZE="3"]the right to adapt "Faces" for their audio magazine. [/SIZE]

For those of you who might be fans of Terry Goodkinds "Sword of Truth" series there is a new TV show premiering the weekend of Nov 1st based on the books caled "the Legend of the Seeker". You can check out thier website legendoftheseeker.com to find info on when it is playing in your area. Just thought some people would like to know.

Remember in Gateways, Jack wants [SPOILER]to be able to fight should his plane be hijacked. To fool the security portal, he tapes a Plexiglas knife to his arm.

It might not be possible in the future:
[SPOILER]
"a machine the company makes in St. Petersburg, Florida -- one that creates explicit images of traveler's bodies to find weapons under their clothes."

If Jack must travel again, he'll have to chose very carefully his airports...[/SPOILER]

As an aside, I wonder how long it will take before the images find their way on internet?

I was very amused by the P Frank Winslow books and appearances - very clever.

Following the premise to the absurd end, I'd like to see Jack seek out other works by Winslow (outside the Jack Fixx books he is aware of) and maybe discover some earlier works similar to Black Wind and The Keep, which would also tie into his life and add to the creepy factor.

Any short stories tied to Monroe would also be relevant, given all the cross-links in FPW's works.

Anyone else find this possibility amusing? Or maybe I'm just up way too late tonight...

The trailer for Friday The 13th 2009 is out... OMFG

Its got a few flaws. He moves too fast, his outfit is that of the modern Jason, his neck isn't all messed up... oh, and Jason wasn't the killer in the first Friday the 13th. But still... It looks awesome.

Hello folks. Last year, on July 2007, I have contact Paul about to make a game about The Keep.

Note: I´m a software developer, but my area is medical/dental, but I like to make games.

I have started then a First Person style game about The Keep (by far, my favourite Paul´s book). It is a totally free game, not commercial and it was done in my spare time (i don´t have many ) It take me a full year, working here and there to make and collect assets to build it.

It´s a Sokoban type game, in Fisrt Person We have to move crates, move stones, etc, etc, to win each level of the game (like look around on the Village around the Keep to find stuff, etc, etc). Off course you have to shhot some Nazi zombies, too, but not too much.

It´s a "one man show". I´m making it as a hobby, and Paul allow me to start this thread to show the progress (now in final stages) and allow people download the game when I get it playable. In a few days, I will post some screenshots (in game) and a video of my game play. I think in a month or so, the download will be available.

The game don´t have a commercial quality, of course, but I´m sure is pretty decent to make we in "The Keep" mood.

Sorry for my english, I´m from Brazil. Here our language is mix of Sumerian and Aramaic.

Cheers

This is one of the reasons why I like Eastwood. Take a look at his new film's trailer.

Gran Torino

Eastwood plays Walt Kowalski. An iron-willed veteran living in a changing world, who is forced by his immigrant neighbors to confront his own long-held prejudices.

Clint Eastwood is a living legend. He is an actor. He is filmmaker. He is Jazz musician. Also he was a politician. Even if he's old, I'm glad to I can see his another Dirty Harry-like movie. I really can't wait this one. :thumbsup:

I loved the decision that Jack was faced with when the Lady asked him to toss the sword away so that it does not fall into the wrong hands in BTS. In the past, the lady has asked Jack to not do many things (don't go in the house in Haunted Air, get rid of the Lillitongue in Infernal, etc...) and every time he has not listened and there have been some serious repercussions for Jack not heeding her words.

This in mind, by keeping this sword it can only spell disaster in the last few books leading up to Nightworld.

Who is the Lady and has she been around since the big R and Glaeken or even earlier? Could it be possible that she IS Srem? I don't really have any supporting arguments to this other than my gut feeling? Just wanted to get it out there and see if anyone else thinks this might be possible. Perhaps she was documenting everything that she has found on this planet that was Otherness or Ally created and ways to combat them? I'm not sure if there are any Ally inspired writings in the book, but I wouldn't doubt it. It seems to have everything, just like the Lady seems to know everything.

Also, is it possible that the sword was created not specifically for the Ally or the Otherness but truely intended for the Lady should the need arise? She feels it should not be in anyone's hands since she is not connected to Ally or Otherness?

Sorry if this is all over the place, but I'm really curious to know how the Lady fits into this story and why I thought the last few pages of the book with the sword decision will play an important part in completing the Jack saga.

Only thing depressing about finishing each book is that we have to wait another year to find out what happens. It's driving me crazy in the best way possible
