Short film about a robot that's gone mad. Really well done and very creepy.

This is hands down one of the BEST Batman fan films I have seen.

I have tagged this as spoilers since I don't want to spoil this for anyone. After completing both the Adversary Cycle and the Repairman Jack series ( following the Secret History of the world order ) yesterday I have just one question.
What happened to the yeniçeri? I would have thought that they would have had an appearance in "The Dark at the End" or "Nightworld". For the life of me I can't recall seeing them after the meeting in Julio's with Jack in "Ground Zero." Did I miss something?

So I finally got around to putting out the 200$ for the last book I needed to complete my repairman jack gauntlet press edition collection with the haunted air. I received it just a few days ago and while it is the first/limited edition, it is not a hardcover. I'm super bummed because its not cheap and I was expecting hc. Has anyone else seen this happen with the gauntlet press editions? Anyone have an extra HC that they will sell at a reasonable price or trade for the soft cover or any of the other stuff I have?

No, I'm not talking politics! I'm talking about the 10% of the population who are dominated by the right hemisphere of their brains (i.e., those who are in their right minds!).

Many famous and infamous people are "southpaws," besides Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stalone), including our current and recent past presidents, Marilyn Monroe, and many more.

Aside from being a minority oppressed by the right-handed majority, lefties have been subjected to discriminatory propaganda throughout history and in several languages. For example, in French, the word for left is synonymous with "clumsy" (i.e., gauche), while the Latin word for right (dexter) is the root for the word "dextrous," which is synonynmous with agile and skilled.

I firmly believe the source of this anti-lefty propaganda stems from the Latin and that results from an ancient battle between Romans and Israelites. The Israelites fielded an army of 400 picked left-handed soldiers who routed and massacred two Roman legions. The Romans (all right-handed), were used to having their shield facing their enemy's sword, but found themselves open to attack when facing a left-hander! Following this battle, the Latin word for left ("sinister") took on added significance!

I applaud my left-handedness and I accept all my fellow lefties as brother and sisters: "We few, we happy few, we band of southpaws!" Any on the RJ board fellow southpaws?

Let righties beware! When you shake hands with a lefty, your strongest hand is down and our sinister left can go whup upside yo' head at any moment!

Been away for awhile. Since politics are verboten as a subject, not much to say.

However, acquired a new firearm this past weekend; have not even shot it yet. It's built on the AR-15 frame, but fires a .502 Thunder Sabre cartridge. Basically, the .502 is a .50AE with a 7.62x39 head. I've been warned it kicks like a mule, so I need a good recoil pad and a red-dot scope that can absorb some punishment. It has a flat-top (no handle), so it will take any optic sight or even a green daytime laser.

I spoke on the telephone with the designer, who gave me the number of the people he has sold the rights to and who can provide ammunition and accessories.

I'll be back with a report and maybe some pictures after a trip to the range.


In the meantime, best wishes to all,

My son got me hooked on the RJ series.....*very* cool. I love all the details and subtexts in the series as well as the main plot. It was a little eerie how many common interests I had with a fictional character. We would've gotten along great. Just finished "Bloodline", moving on to the next in the series tonight.

Question;
As not only "reader", but a "collector" as well, most of my series is from Tor/Forge, and have the HCDJ common in the series with Jack pictured in silhouette and a scene from the book below.....does a HCDJ version of "The Tomb" exist with this same look? I've seen the same style cover, but only in SC. I'm new to the forum, and my limited searching hasn't yielded any results in the old messages. I'm just trying to put together a matching set. It's a minor concern, but I was curious.

Thanks, and if you're listening FPW, THANK YOU!!! THESE BOOKS ARE GREAT!!

Because this was found there on Google Maps...
