a computer-game magazine here in germany has a tradition of putting funny little videos, they produce themselves, on the CDs/DVDs the ship with. Once they did a seres of IMVHO hillarious videos, which are very easy to produce, might be something you could do to revive the extremly sparsly Whatever-T...
Each new SW book to be published is to adhere to specific rules and are controlled by LFL before publication. Since fan created stuff is not subjected to those controlles, there is no relation between licensed products ans the tolerance of fanmade creations. Star Trek does have very lax rules (at la...
Suit yourself. ;) As i said, since those fanfics, especially in such close confines as with Harry Potter, do tend to clash with "the prophets true lore" (aka canon), you need to be able to enjoy it without all fitting together. The fanfic in question is in line with what JKR said in the fi...
[...]In short, I have post-Potter let-down. If you're not too concerned about canon, that can be helped. After finishing the book, i searched for the spoilers that had been on the net before to see, if they got it right and stumbled about a fanfic novel, that also describes the seventh year, that w...
CyberTractor, you got one wrong in your list Hagrid didn't die, since he appeared at the scene, when Harry let the the seventh horcrux be destroyed and then carried him back to the castle. Also he is mentioned in the 19 years later to be still at Hogwarts. All in all a very good read, altough i woul...

@Yukikaze I think W1ngless was born in 1987. Since he gives the correct year directly after Neros name... ;) And it is rather awesome to be born on the same day as Nero. Apart from Gustav Adolf, there was only one other person of historic significance born on my b-day, Fritz Haber, a german chemist,...
How about with the last roman emperor: Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus ( December 15, 37 – June 9, 68 ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero Awesome for being known by popular history as a tyrant because of persecution of Christians, while potentially being a pretty darned good and popular ru...
December 9th I have to go with Gustavus Adolphus the Great (December 9, 1594 – November 6, 1632), King of Sweden. He led his country during the Thirty Year's War and is called "Father of Modern Warfare" because of his innovative skills in the tactical integration of infantry, cavalry, arti...
This: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club-Mate (sorry there seems to be no english page for it) It's an ice-tea based on mate-tea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerba_mate . It has a high concntration on caffeine 200 mg/litre and is low on sugar (compared to most lemonades and energy-drinks). Because of...
following Alja-Markir's link and further reading from there about the "Boston LED terror scare", i think, we LRR-Fans can be pretty glad that LRR is based in Canada and not in the US - especially Boston. Otherwise, Graham might be in prison right now for distributing snake like "hoax-...
I kept thinking while I watched that 3D Asteroids in their holograph chamber-thingy would be the best game ever. Imagine standing at the center and shooting the asteroids all around you, and there's force feedback when you get hit by one. Good times! I assume, that this is some optic trick generate...
