NEWS FLASH: Michael forced to blog at gunpoint — CHOOSES LIFE!

Stop ripping off my old blog themes Sarah, when will you ever learn to just be original!

Shout out to Patrick Rothfuss for writing the greatest book EVER, “The Name of the Wind”. Buy it now at your local bookstore, or may the fires of hell engulf your soul and forever let it burn in fury.

J.K. Rowling the greedy ass bitch? Yes.

Feel free to read through this long spiel by another of my favorite authors Orson Scott Card, writer of the acclaimed Enders Game series.

After reading the whole article I somewhat pity that J.K Rowling feels like she has to do this. Doesn’t she have enough money, it’s not like the guy has just relabeled your book and reselling it, like Orson says it’s a scholarly work, meant for reference.

I hope this gets thrown out of court, and she gets counter sued.

Talisman 4.5

Hooray! Information on the latest release of Talisman. The folks over at ICv2 have posted up some information for us.

Fantasy Flight Games has announced an October release for the Revised 4th Edition of the Talisman Board Game (MSRP $49.95). 2008 marks the 25th anniversary of this fan favorite magical quest board game and FFG’s revised version adds 14 highly detailed plastic figures (toads included), a revision of the rules, and upgraded components all around. Upon the launch of the Revised 4th Edition, FFG will also make available an upgrade kit, which will include the new plastic figures, revised rules and cards, for those who purchased Games Workshop’s 4th Edition of Talisman, which was released in October of 2007.

The 4th Edition of Talisman was based primarily on the 2nd Edition of the game, which was considered more popular with gamers than the 3rd Edition. It remains to be seen where Fantasy Flight, which has loads of experience creating board games, will take Talisman, which it acquired earlier this year along with the rights to Games Workshop’s RPGs and card games (see “FFG Gets Games Workshop’s RPGs, Card and Board Games”).

FFG has also announced that “a plethora of expansions” for Talisman are in the works. The first of these, the Death and Glory Expansion (MSRP $19.95) is slated for release by Christmas 2008.

Also, here is a picture of the new box with some blue haired guy from FFG.
